  Just read that because of Mecca’s new store in Bourke St grand opening, they are shutting down trams going through the Bourke St mall from Russell to Swanston st for four hours on Friday 8 August. I find that pretty appalling they’d do that for a shitty retail store opening

    Mecca is the epitome of teenage to 20 something year old girls buying an overpriced lip balm because someone on Tik Tok said it was good. Avoid like the plague. I remember when Mecca was tiny and now there’s a new brand there every few months.

    They also have deals with certain brands so they’re “Mecca exclusive” in Australia, so people from here miss out on the sales the brands have in other countries.

      I remember also reading about their sales regularly having expired products for sale 🤮

    I’m not sure appalled is a proportionate emotion? Though it’s been a rough week for commuters.

    I hope everyone will be choosing their waterproof mascara though, could be quite cold and wet.

    Yeah, gutting that public amenity and infrastructure once again takes second place to private corporate interests. I kinda think the public should find out what Mecca paid in compensation to shut down a section of PT for their own profit.

  Multiple actualNazi documents including Wolfsbane bullets for executions. Think I’ll take a very long lunch.

      Thanks. For people who want trigger/content warnings on everything: consider that somebody has to look at it to do so.

  nearly finished packing, just got to weigh my bags, I think I should be under the limit

  • PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I always wondered about luggage weight limits… I mean, they don’t apply them to people do they? The difference in weight between Mr P and myself is one of our children 😆

      😂 no they don’t. I have found that if the flight is running late on time they’re less likely to weigh bags.

      I’ve seen people panic and root through bags when that little weighy thing comes out.

      I often wonder that.

  ugh. Time to climb mount washmore. Since we lost the old place now I have to calculate loads based on best amount of line drying time instead of just flinging it under the carport. Annoying.

    I have a bit of a hybrid situation. I mostly have to keep an eye on the weather, but have room under cover for a clothes airer to do a small amount. But if it’s too windy/rainy the rain comes in sideways, and there is not enough room for sheets and things.

    I am liking being able to line dry outside though, where I was didn’t really have any good drying space and I would dry it indoors on airers. It just smells better when it’s been outside, the movement from the wind makes the towels softer, and the wind also carries away more of the dog hair and fluff etc. so I think it ends up cleaner. I’ve contemplated getting a dryer, but I think I’d prefer to stick to line drying if I can keep managing it.

      I have an indoor clothesline + hanger space + clothes horse, but honestly, if you’re talking pants and sheets and towels, you want them to flap majestically in the breeze.

      If it helps at all I sometimes used to hang sheets and blankets over the corners of doors.

      Giving an extra spin dry cycle at the end also really helps

    I just hang it all on racks in the lounge room. Doesn’t look pretty and any surprise guests get to see my undies, but I figure I’m saving money. The heater warms me and dries the clothes

      I put in a rail in the laundry for hanging shirts on hangers, nice and out of the way. Pull out line in the cupboard sliiightly more annoying, but rarely used. Rest of stuffs tend to go on clotheshorse over the bedroom vent, but I do like to flap my jeans majestically in the wind

  Dog pee found over two days count - 10

  I left him alone last night for a couple of hours and was told that he kept setting off the cameras barking. When I got home, he was eating the treat I gave him when I left the house. I think it is a separation anxiety problem.

  • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    So that means he pissed less last night right?

    Definitely think it’s separation anxiety.

    source

    • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Yep he “only” pissed twice last night.

      Once when I was out, and once when I was home, but asleep.

  You know that feeling of revulsion you get when you hear a sound like nails on a chalkboard or teeth against metal? It’s called “grima” (from Spanish)

  Bring Her Back, an Australian horror movie released recently will give you this sensation. Body horror combined with supernatural elements make it into my top 20 favourite horror films list.

    I saw that last weekend and forgot to comment… Omg it’s brilliant! Unsettling from the get go, and then it just gets worse. The brothers have outdone themselves

  Early start tomorrow. I’ll probably take the bike to work so I won’t fully get to experience the change in traffic, but it will be interesting to see what it’s like riding then as well
