  🌞 Months ago I started working really hard at disarming the trigger of hearing the accent/dialect of my father. 50 uurs later of watching dutch and flemish tv I can listen to what ever I want without any neg feelings ( mortal dread ) arising.

  So now I have started watching the movie philosophy of art channel I really wanted to and it’s goed.

  It’s so hard to disarm the ghosts in our heads but it’s worth it. 🌞 I could have just thought to myself; I don’t like this movie channel, I don’t like this guy; that would have been easy. But I knew that was rubbish, I did like it and he was a smart nice guy worth listening to , so I made the effort. I also didn’t want my father to succeed. How dare he mess me up like that. It’s my life. :)

    That’s no mean feat. I’m glad you could get past that particular ghost. Hugs

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Thanks. It feels so good not to be triggered by that anymore. :)

      source
  • SituationCake@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Well done! Any tips on what worked well?

    source

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      keep my focus on the end goal, for me it was watching the movie channel. It is important to me.

      try to immerse myself in other aspects of the situation than what triggers me

      in this case it was the accent and dialect, so while still hearing in the background I concentrated on the story and the visuals

      slowly increase my attention to the trigger, I suppose you could call it desensitisation

      in the past while overcoming triggers I would allow myself to run or stop an activity, but only ONCE, that was the deal I made with myself, thereafter I had to be brave and face my trigger

  Chapter 498 of the weird things the kids do nowadays that I just can’t conceive of doing back when I was their age. Bunch of kids on the tram kicking heads of broccoli around. At least 3 of them (broccoli heads that is, kids were more like a dozen or so). And marking them when they went airborne. BrocSoccer? Brocfooty? This seems perverted to me.
  I can come at wine cask liner football (have played that myself back when I was flexible), but random violence to vegetables is a new one to me. Shakes fist at clouds.

    Food is cheap.

    when I was growing food was expensive, you didn’t waste it or play with it

      Idk. I bet you could find a soccer ball cheaper than a head of broccoli at woolies

      source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Me too. As I have a vegie patch, and when you’ve nurtured something through to edible status for months, then this sort of thing just revolts me.

    A bit like our fluffy cat.

    Demands for brocolli. Proceeds to protect it with his life, hissing at anyone who comes near it, and kicking it around for a bit, then abandons it after 15 minutes.

  If you love hot cross buns here’s a tip for youse buy extra and freeze them because after Sunday they will be gone.

  Don’t come at me about raisin bread because they’re not the same.

  source

  • Nath@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    Aldi sells them year-round. Seems to be a limited amount of them so they often sell out. Which is good - you can have them every month, but probably not every week.

    source

      I did not know that!

    Piedmonte’s sells not cross buns all year - they just have a diagonal stripe not a cross on the top. Very yum.

  • bull@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    There’ll be a lot of disappointed anacondas after Sunday. I actually haven’t had a single HCB this year yet. I should make the effort to get my hands on some high quality buns before the weekend.

  Today my sense of taste and smell has decided to vanish, which is odd. I thought now would’ve actually been when I start getting better, but I guess not.

  Crazy how my local pharmacy will charge $90 for a product I need, but Amcal only charges RRP ,which is $50, for the same thing.

  More of a hike, but still cheaper to do the PT trek across town than to walk 10mins down the road. Make it make sense ugh

      The red skin coating that’s sometimes on hot dogs that’s made of God knows what. It sometimes peels of in the cooking phase.

  Going into the office in the morning to demo some new tech to one of our executives. Should be done in 30 minutes then I can jump on a tram and head home. 5 meetings over 2 days until the long weekend and I still have no idea where I’ll go. Leaving it so late is likely going to limit my options somewhat.

  Why am I procrastinating going to sleep? Sleep is great. Ok bye bye.

  If I was to watch a scary movie like a shit my pants kind what should I watch? I want one that I don’t need to think to hard about the storyline and doesn’t involve sci-fi.

    Sinister is great. Ethan Hawke discovers snuff films in depicting gruesome murders in the new family home.

    Talk to Me is really great recent release. Group of friends discover how to conjure spirits with an embalmed hand.

    Barbarian is also fantastic. Girl stays in air BnB and discovers a hidden door in basement leading to a labyrinth tunnel of horror.

  Considering I can’t make up my mind on where I’d like to this weekend, I think I might just save my money and sleep at home. Maybe just do a day trip or two. Maybe I should actually try going somewhere in the city considering I live here, try a pub or something. A few hundred a night minimum to stay somewhere on Easter weekend for a trip I tried to talk myself into isn’t sounding very smart to me right now, but I’ll still make sure I get to do some driving.
