Very proud of my kids right now. They just watched Terminator 2 all the way through and paid attention the whole time. It goes for two and a half hoursbut they were attentive/asking questions/getting emotional. Shows you just can't beat a good movie

3 and a half months since I quit vapes/ciggies.

Made a huge difference to singing.

But I would still throw a workmate out of a window for a champion ruby rollie.

I maybe a little bit drunk.

It's your birthday, so all good.

Have a donut. Cut one in half fill it with bacon, let me eat meat vicariously through lemmy.

I feel like I'm being cheated by having to go to work.

Hello 3 day weekend, it's been a while.

Cheers πŸ₯‚

Back to melbs today.

Clothesline moved and in! Certainly won't be able to dig that out again. base is probably 100+ish kgs at this point and 70cm down.

Almost a happy bubble!

Didn't fk myself up or hit a pipe when digging so big success! I would like to pat myself on the back but it was honestly pointless. it was fine where it was. Did it as a favour for the p's but I know what will happen. When ol' girl comes down the first thing she'll do is complain, want it a foot to the north and use the dryer instead πŸ™ƒ

Which calls for a rave choon

  1. good work man
  2. tune is fucking sick!

Daughter and her beau broke up. We're 'dating' for a bit, made it official...and like a week later it's over.

Daughter is a bit sad but not too bad.

I've already offered to pay the lad a visit for a 'friendly and constructive exchange of productive ideas'.

My son offered to drive there, to get his learner's hours up, and to physically assist.

Daughter declined the offer.

Oh the things I would do for a parent like you

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My kids are my life. That's the long and short of it.

I will say all that was (thankfully) in jest.

We know the dude, and the breakup was pretty mutual.

But if he got fresh or uncouth, my girl knows that I've got her back and his fucking spleen in an eski.

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

his fucking spleen in an eski

Ooooh fresh meat too! I bet you'd bbq it up real nice πŸ˜‚

[–] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

Either that or the black organ market... might as well make a few bob

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

tired

noticed chest/boobs covered in bruises from the tension of bras during severe coughing bouts from allergies , no wonder they hurt

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Petty common as a myo to find the sore spot has the bra clip imprint on it.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago

yup,

also get shooting pains in my intercostal muscles during an attack

and people wonder why it's getting very easy to say no to all foods I'm allergic too, it's like a psychology experiment the way I've been trained

[–] Force_majeure1234@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I am up stupid early. I guess I'm going to start work stupid early and have my weekend start stupid early too cos why not

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (4 children)

His Lordship walks into my office cracking up "Hey Sammy's sucking his own cock" I go in and, lo, it does indeed look like that. I giggle with infantile delight. Then I move forward to kiss the top of his tiny peanut head like the inveterate cat lover I am and as I get close and he leans back I see that Sammy is in fact, fully erect and yes, he was sucking his own cock.

....pervert.

saw an interesting minor altercation at the savers op shop

a sales assistant came t the jewellery section to put more stock on display , then after a few minutes she exploded, telling a young woman to back away, to give her some space,

apparently the young woman had been closely following her for 30 minutes, checking out all the items that had been set out very quickly before anyone else could see them, she had a basket of stuff, she looked like a reseller, she had her phone out to check items

reseller then complains that the assistant was being racist, why didn't the assistant tell the other shoppers to back away

well, another shopper said we were giving the assistant room and also the assistant said you were following her around , so no, there is no racism and it's not cool to call people racist The reseller was so angry, she just couldn't see how she had been harassing the assistant

You would think it would be wise as a reseller to get on good terms with staff.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 1 points 2 days ago

Resellers are scalpers imo, fuck em.

book store visited, no luck, looks like on line ordering is the go

I did have a some luck at an op shop, found a 1960s red branch coral necklace for $5

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

were you following along closely behind the assistant for that one? :P

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago

No. πŸ˜›

[–] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 2 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Check out Moonhoney jewellery online - she has a major thing for coral and some lovely pieces.

Happy National Donut Day 🍩

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

RIP Moorabbin donut factory. I can't remember if you were Donut King or Mr Donut but the banana custard with nutmeg was great.

RIP cheap Colesworth cinnamon donuts. Seems like pricey krispy creams have taken over. I don't like them. They're neither krispy or creamy.
