illness and wall of text rambles
My old aunt just rang and told me she has AlzheimerâsâŠkinda knew it for a while but now confirmed. She is in assisted living and very well cared for butâŠdangâŠshe is very dear to me and I donât want her to go through that after such a big strong life. So proud of her for moving into a care home when she got older though. She was so sad about it but knew it was the right thing and she did it on her terms and now she will have support and care. And a more advanced care option when that happens. But âŠmanâŠ

rant about dumb ex again
Ugh. After my dumbass fuckwit ex msgd and tried to gaslight me last me, I reported their profile on FB for nonsense. Obviously it was rejected. Partner says I shouldnât have, because I showed I hadnât grown like my ex said. That I should have taken the high road. Fuck the high road. Fuck the fucking high road. I took the high road the entire time I was with my ex. You try losing 8 years to an abusive fucktard and then you take the high road. Iâm tired of taking the high road. I donât care that I âplayed right into their handsâ. I understand shouldnât have done it, it was a moment of weakness, but I donât regret it and I donât feel bad about it. I had no fucking agency to do anything, Brittany Higgins case has ensure I will never report the heinous shit they did. I reject the high fucking road. I have entertained so many petty revenge plans (envelopes of shit or glitter, signing them up to religious orgs, ecetera) but I always took that stupid high road. But one fucking nonsense report apparently makes that all meaningless. I will never have justice, I will never see them be held accountable for their crimes. But fuck me for being petty. Iâm tired of victims being told to be better. I think Iâm triggered, gotta distract myself and perhaps Iâll feel differently. Fuck.
Duenan@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I think you should block him and cut all further contact from him if you can.
Itâs not really good for you and heâll continue to do what he does which is exactly what he wants
Donât let him win. Youâre strong and amazing and he doesnât deserve you in his life.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
She is blocked, the throwaway they used is deleted anyway, and they donât use their old reddit account lol.
One last thing Iâll do, is make my own throwaway and post their message/letter to unsent letters. Just gotta put it where it should have gone in the first place.
I havenât seen or spoken to them since early 2019. This was the first contact weâve had since then. I donât believe it will happen again because I was quite sassy at them lol
I agree with you completely though. It just hurts. I really appreciate this message, sincerely. You totally right đ
Seagoon_@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
so many hugs
the only good road is the road outta there
tell all your friends and family what he did
And how do they do it? How do they steal and abuse and get away with it?
I think itâs chutzpah, they know people donât fight back.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I have a pinned post on FB detailing everything she did. Everyone who knew her and me, knows what happened and what they did. Some donât believe, and they were unfriended and removed immediately. The rest blocked her lol.
I tried to leave so many times, but the gaslighting and trauma-bonding was intense.
They do it and get away with it, because the system lets them. Because victims have to relive their trauma over and over just to maybe get a conviction. The system is not kind to those who survived.
We are strong, though, purely because we are good humans. She will never break me again.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
So guess who gets his car back? Iâve warned the mrs time and time again to slow the f down and be more careful with it, but she drives like shes a character on mariokart. For some dumb reason she put an office chair in the garage to be thrown out, but it just hasnât been done yet. I came home last night to find the office chair pinned between the brand new car and the end of the garage wall. She didnât even notice sheâd done it, and yep, shes scratched and dented the panel. Accidents happen, but iâve been warning her for WEEKS something like this was going to happen. I didnt yell but MAAAAAN I am pissed.
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Um, donât you two have a child? Iâd be less concerned about scratches and more concerned she didnât notice she hit something. Today it was an office chair⊠When your child is a walking toddlerâŠ
Iâm not trying to shit on her, but she needs more awareness in these situations (I obviously donât you or her, so this is just based on this post).
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
100% agree. iâve warned her in the past if I catch her âgo kartingâ with the kid in the car again there will be a serious conversation. But no, Tinyest cant walk yet, and is never unsupervised outside.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
She needs a tennis ball on a piece of string suspended from the roof. When the ball hits the windscreen you know to stop.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Or, hear me out, learn the size of your car and garage. The sizes do not change. Figure it out and work with it.
Harsh, but I have very little sympathy for people who arenât aware of their car when driving/parking.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Or she could just reverse in. Its a 2023 âLuxuryâ (cough bullshit cough) SUV. its got reverse parking sensors. There were so many points at that this was a preventable accident, and she knew how obsessed I was with looking after it I just cant accept she was unintentionally this oblivious.

When Nagi from Recipetin eats was taking inspiration for her cookbook people were requesting things like more salads and airfryer recipes which is really not her thing. I wrote sesame prawn toast. Imagine my surprise when it made it into the book. So my question for the day is:
What is something that youâve contributed to that has also benefited others? Big or small. It doesnât matter.

I put in a passport renewal application this morning - it was so easy!! I thought I had missed the timeframe in which I could do a renewal (I think they extended it) so I was expecting to have to do another full application, so spending 5 mins at home and 15 mins at the post office was absolutely great.
There was a lady there doing a passport photo for her kid which looked a lot more troublesome - she had to hold him out awkwrdly so she wasnât in the photo, then they had to do it all again because he dribbled all over himself and the mum wanted a drool-free photo. He at least was allowed to smile. I had to channel the memories of stepping off a 13 hour flight followed by a long slow shuffle through immigration queues to get the appropriate soulless stare required to ensure my photo will match my likely presentation at the airport.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Itâs nice when a life admin task goes smoothly.
I redid my passport photo recently and itâs a shocker - so grumpy. At least it will match my long-haul flight expression
RustyRaven@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Mine donât actually look too bad. The lighting did highlight a few skin imperfections Iâd rather pretend didnât exist, but overall I look a lot less like a dodgy drug mule than in my last passport photo. It does look a bit odd to me though because I had to take my glasses off for the photo and I pretty much never do that in real life.

Aight Iâve got two car inspections booked in for this weekend, I fucking HATE looking for cars, but Iâm glad Iâm finally getting this ball rolling so I can start getting to work reliably and once again be free to head to wherever I want whenever I want.
Scored a second interview with more-challenging-less-flexible-but-better-for-career-and-close-to-home job on Monday, a lot will now hinge on what they are willing to offer in terms of pay⊠đ€đœ
But for now, time to settle in cozily with the last bit of my scrumptious salmon pasta and hate-watch the end of For All Mankind s3. Such a fucking dumb season but I do want to see where they all end up. If s4 is worse than this I might not watch it though.
Cendana@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Which car are you considering?
just_kitten@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve revised my budget down quite a bit so at the 8-9k mark thereâs not a whole lot. Looked at a 2008 Mazda 3 today and looking at a 2011 Honda Civic Si tomorrow, both over 200k kms. Todayâs one has full logs and is very well maintained. Tomorrowâs might not be so but the car does have better features.

Spiders
The huntsman is also a dumbarse, coming down to ground level where the cat could easily get him. Should I give him another chance or put him outside?
StudChud@aussie.zone âš7â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I would release outside, just so it doesnât be dumb again and get within paw-reach lol
This did remind me of a memory though, ::: spoiler small text wall when I was 15 and living with mum, we had four cats (Slim Dusty, Polly Pants-Down, Tigger, and Elvis). Tigger was a terror on the fauna, he was a little psycho leaving bodies of whatever small mammal he could on our back steps, often headless. He had no fear at all. One night mum and I were sitting outside while she has a smoke, and we see Tigger in the lawn, which has grown a bit, playing with the grass. It was very cute⊠Until we realised when we got closer that there was a massive motherfucker huntsman sort of in the long grass on top of it, and Tigger was just tormenting it. Mum and I are both arachnophobic, but we both agreed it was cruel. So with a lot of squealing and screaming we used a big Tupperware container and some sticks and corraled the huntsman into the gum tree. Tigger was very unimpressed, mum chain-smoked, and I cried a little. Stupid story, sorry for the text wall, but it makes me laugh now haha :::
