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 😆
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
😂 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.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 1 day ago
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.

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

Grrrr got my tax return back and as expected, my bloody super deduction is not available and I owe them a huge chunk now AND I’m out of pocket for the substantial amount I deposited… guess I will have to make those phone calls when it’s 8am. Not happy Jan. I foresee a lot of “no you need to contact ATO!”, “no you need to contact your super fund!” back and forth…
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Grrr indeed. Good luck with your obnoxious adulting tasks.
Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Oh no that’s so annoying 😭

24 minute wait to get a call back then a 15 minute call from the ATO done, now on hold with the super fund with three callers ahead of me in the queue… blaaah… At least the ATO staff member was super helpful and escalated my issue but she did say the super fund still needs to report the contribution before anything can be processed. I have Words for the super fund about not being clear regarding how soon they send contribution info to the ATO

'ang on, they can’t file your return without your auth, can they?
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I filed the return myself, followed all the instructions to a tee, turns out my super fund is not being very truthful or clear about how quickly they then send that info to the ATO.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I am guessing the tax return was filed before the notice of intent to claim the super was done. You can’t claim Super as a deduction on your tax return until the Super fund has taken out the 15% tax and processed it as a concessional contribution.

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 1 day ago
So that means he pissed less last night right?
Definitely think it’s separation anxiety.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yep he “only” pissed twice last night.
Once when I was out, and once when I was home, but asleep.

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

Really digging this song at the moment

lol just reading on the other place gardeningaustralia someone battling oxalis.
I’m not telling them my instruments of DOOOOOM!
Funnily enough the biggest sustainable doom instrument is just mulch heh.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 day ago
What’s on the menu tonight?
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Heading back to Melbs today so no flamethrower food :(
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Don’t have a flamethrower but I’m pinching your aeroguard idea. Interestingly enough I had used mulch in the past, before I realised how big a problem it was (the oxalis that is). That didn’t work, but the birds were happy scratching it everywhere
