Yeah, I’m sorry, I had to stop reading when I read that they own not just one but TWO homes. I saw red.
Meanwhile, I’m relatively terrified that my retirement will be living in a cardboard box under a bridge after suffering from multiple strokes based on family history.
I agree with your terminology - updating is for often small incremental software patches.
Upgrade would be a complete program overhaul, or more commonly in my use of it, a change to a newer, better physical product.
Every time I see these ridiculous solutions being proposed, I get so frustrated. My partner and I are trying to do the right thing, saving and not stealing from our future selves - but we’re competing against these insane policies that do nothing but drive up the price even further.
We just met our original goal, but the cost of a home in our regional area has pretty much doubled since we moved back after giving up on Sydney a few years back now, so we’re no further ahead.
My hands are also tiny and smol, and I’m also clumsy, but I have no issues with my S23 Ultra. 🤷🏼♀️
Did that.
Doc was 45 minutes late to work.
She was a nice lady but that had me fuming.
I then had to wait two hours for a taxi. I was in tears from anxiety by the time I got home, then had to go back to work.
Luckily I am WFH so no one could see me crying.
That was a bad day!
As a connoisseur of poh tay toes, they look gross.
Yep. Turned down one rental many years ago due to too many flights of stairs and no lift - and being too poor to hire movers.
I got a good, thankful laugh when I watched the episode a couple of years back.
Pivot! PIVOT!
Sorry, I had to.
Love the erasure of straight, infertile couples here as well.
“You CAN make babies” - not necessarily.
Childfree by choice here, but the all around insensitivity to anyone not straight and fertile just really gets my goat.
I’m an Aussie, and a biscuit is a biscuit, plus I love Britcoms, yet I’ve never heard the term!
I love it, though.
I love horror films with terrifying vengeful spirits. I get sad when someone kills a harmless spider. I love running around the wasteland of Fallout games and blasting the baddies. I cried when a bird flew into the glass of my bedroom window and died.
Exactly. I wouldn’t be working in some office job; I’d be volunteering my time to give back to the community, keep me active, and maybe make some friends. All part of keeping from becoming a weird hermit, which is my natural instinct.
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
That completely stopped working for me a while ago, but Samsung’s Reminders app was able to do it well.
I started using it instead, and the other day, uninstalled the Google Assistant app - the only time I was opening it was by accident, when I’d drift off to sleep holding my phone, and he rudely awoken by the noise it made.
I’m very happy for them to change the date, as long as they don’t remove it altogether.
Public holidays give me something to look forward to when I’m feeling burnt out with work.
It should probably be kept in summer because Aussies love a BBQ, but personally I wouldn’t mind winter as I love the cold.
Get yourself a guy who looks like Aragorn but cooks like Samwise. 😍
They’ve both got heart.
I’ve seen some very small statured people working in big chains here. I don’t think Maccas and their ilk would be taking the risk of illegally employing children, at least not in countries like Australia.
Also, if this is a young child, is it not a bit wrong to be sharing their image around like this?..
I have taken up cross stitching and can spend an entire day just sitting and working on a one.
I want to watch ALL THE TV SHOWS AND MOVIES before I die (well the ones that interest me), but my hands get bored so usually I’ll play Switch games but then I’m often not really paying a lot of attention to either thing.
With cross stitching, I can get focused if it’s a difficult part or I’ve made a mistake, but mostly I can follow the plot of the show/film much better.
Plus I get a lovely physical “trophy” at the end, and have given a few as gifts.
I gave up on it entirely probably a year or so ago, as I found if anything it was getting worse.
Not sure if you’re pulling our legs or really don’t know…
We’ve had the term “suss c*nt” in Aussie English for decades, and British English isn’t that far removed.
