Hey lately I’ve been really in your face and a lot of unsolicited advice… sorry for that. It’s just an anxiety thing. Kind of trying to ‘protect’ other people.

The great thing about advice is you can take it or leave it but you still learn from it.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
I just come on a bit strong so people might not realise they can leave it, or may choose not to open up for fear of being pounced on.
I was raised by people who behaved like this

I think the great thing about this place is we can all safely get stuff out in the open and all the advice (yours very much inclusive) is very much welcomed.
It’s a really nice corner of the web that you are very much part of :)
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Thanks. I’m just aware sometimes I fret and start trying to ‘herd’ people. Which could come off as controlling and make some people uncomfortable to share delicate things for fear of feeling judged.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
I see it as you being caring. You are saying positive things and want positive outcomes for people.
hugs

I don’t do white, but could do this 😸
StudChud@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
I don’t do white, I think this is my only item of white clothing tbh 😅
I have a black Batman summer dress as well somewhere, that’s in severe need of a rehem of the sleeves. It has like Batman decals on it in white, and graffiti like writing of “force of good”

Weekend to myself. Fam is going down the bellarine (incl. bro/SIL/ankle biter and cat).
Would be expected to organise / cook etc. and I’m just not doing that.
Was hoping to head down this w/e and finish a choon I’m working on w/ the new ‘puter and really push the retirement fund (RAM lol), but not worth the stress.
Surprisingly no guilt trip except from ol’ girl who’ll feel like she has to do all the things. Her food is sorted, the rest can fend for themselves.
Instead gonna day drink and make gyoza / springers for xmas lunch. The best form of therapy.
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Maybe I should day drink. I’ve only got at home plans today.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Have a blast!
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Today’s zucchini haul:
They’re going into springers and gyoza but I suppose water content is going to be an issue. Guess salt and wring them out or something. Last year just drank the juice straight and it was amazing.

Oh I know this one!

grate them and squeeze all the water out
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
I’d make them into a zucchini lasagne. Love 'em. Love 'em. Love 'em.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Ooh now there’s a thought! Never made that before.

I’ve been gifted 2 boxes of Maltesers so far. I’m not complaining.

Friendsmas prep is underway for tomorrow. I’m making a self saucing sticky date pudding, and some extremely buttery garlic bread as a side to main. A cold beer is being had and tunes are on.

Tried to renew passport for my grandma so she can travel at least one more time to her home country. She makes so many excuses as to why she can’t go, but fuck that.
The hardest part was getting into her email. We had to reset her password, and it was clear she hadn’t used a computer in many years. The site told her her password can’t be the same as her secret answer, and she said she didn’t know there was one.
Anyway, passport application lodged!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
yay
Is someone going with her?
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 22 hours ago
Maybe me if she goes in 2027 and I’m not working full-time or can take LWOP! Her country of origin is best to visit in the summer months.

Today one of the furries will be evicted from the house. He’s off to live with a companion named Popcorn. Hopefully Popcorn doesn’t mind being dry humped in the face.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Poor popcorn :(
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Yeah. Ah well.

Popcorn might be into it.

I think Time Math is my least favourite math I use daily.
Money is like, base 10 yeah? Ten $1s in $10, Ten $10s is $100, and lovely round $20 and $50s. $5s are easy too. Base 10 is easy on our fingers, though you can also count to twelve with one hand, so base 24 at most? (Use your thumb as a pointer and count the spaces between each joint of your finger. 3 spaces per finger X 4 fingers = 12).
Time Math is awful, with a base of 60. Trying to add 35 minutes to 4.50pm is like asking me to fly to moon with my own farts.

I put on the evap cooler and pretty sure all it’s doing is making the inside more humid. It’s sticky in here. Must be too humid outside for it to work properly.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Fudge. Need to go into the office on Monday. Someone is leaving and an employee (me in this case) is required to take their laptop and swipe card.
Told my manager that the favours are piling up.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I like warm days, like today. Not 40°c but like 30-35°c is nice. 21-25°c is my preferred temps though.
The only real issue I have with summer and warm weather, is I have hyperhidrosis from my anti-sads, that really affect the palms of my hands. The amount of handwashing I do in summer to get rid of the sticky feeling is insane.
And the Triangle of Sweat that encapsulates my nose and upper lip, just sweaty all the time there, but that seems to run in my dad’s side of the family lol.
StudChud@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Wore a dress today, my white summer dress with OG Star Wars decals on it. I felt good and nice.
Then I walked past a pub where a group of young bald men had spilled out onto the bike path. They saw me, I saw them, and as soon as I walked past them one guy turned around to face me and made a rather sexual noise right in my ear and face. I called him a “fucking ballsack looking cunt” and to “get out of my face”.
It’s happened a couple of times, where I’ve chosen to dress particularly feminine and had something like this happen. It’s not everytime, but enough. Like, it’s summer and I just want to stay cool, that’s my main objective, my only goal when it comes to my summer wardrobe. Really, I think that’s all any person is trying to do when they put on a summer dress on a hot humid day. None of us are inviting anyone to make sexual noises at us in public.
I’m just… tired. We’re all fucking tired of the behaviour of immature men.
Regardless, I looked fucking cute as shit and I maintained a comfortable temperature lol
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I stopped dressing sexy at bush doofs for the unwanted attention it bought me. Mostly wasted sleazy gay men on ecstasy. I can take high doses of psychadelics in a chesty bonds bluey even easier than getting dressed up.
StudChud@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
It is interesting that the men/masculine people I have spoken to also have stories of this nature, that sleazy gay men do this - especially on eccies
Some men are so gross I’m sorry you experienced that.
Side note: having a J in my undies is the best no notes
Catfish@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Star Wars dress sounds awesome. Ballsack can go be sweaty by himself.
StudChud@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
It’s a great dress! Bought it years ago from target, and took the sleeves off, because they were too tight, and re-hemmed them. I need to redo it but it’s functional
I’ll post a pic later, it’s my fav dress :3
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Hope their heads get sunburnt.
Also a Star Wars dress!!! 😻
StudChud@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
They probably don’t even moisturise or wash their bums 😭😂
Catfish@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Yes! Head sunburn is horrendous. I’ve only had it in a hair part and that little stripe was bad enough.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Ugh yeah, I stopped wearing dresses because other reasons aside this is so uncomfortable.
