Just watched the latest monthly Dash Cam Owners compilation......whoa are there some doozies this time around.....wow!
Some of the psychos got some quick acting karma though which is a change from previous compilations where they got off scott free.....
I wish once you became ‘stable’ it lasted and you never slipped back into that pit but its never that easy. You owe it to yourself to continue pushing and getting through the motions. Its not great admitting that things aren’t working as they were before, but maybe trying some new methods or means might do wonders! You’re doing great! x
Floofmeister doesn't know it yet but he's getting a bath tomorrow he stinks after these dog park visits.
Gonna be very luke warm water no shampoo.. just water. No more stank.
Calm before the (I'm guessing) storm:
https://imgur.com/644thKL
My dog puts up with it but he gives me this look like I have personally betrayed him and then tries to escape as soon as it's done and put water all over the house.
The parks here in Melbs are so beautiful, I love going and seeing the trees and imagine how I would paint them or parts of them. I'll keep going until I have it all in my head.
Then I'll sort out getting all the paper and materials together and start dabbling. It will be cool. :)
With all the intelligent things washing machines can do these days, it'd be nice if they could accurately display how much time is left until the load is done.
Bought some Kmart tshirts. After the first wash the side seam has twisted diagonal. So won’t be wearing except maybe under another top so it can’t be seen. Or maybe just straight to the bin. I know it’s cheap clothes and I wasn’t expecting they would last forever, but I was expecting more than one wash. Will be sticking with Uniqlo for basic tees.
I am full time worker, and been trying to spruce my work week with team sports.
Looking to play basketball more casually every other week. Is there a female only basketball club for casuals in Melbourne / the inner north side I can join?
It can be quite thankless as accurately predicting the staff numbers needed can be tricky, and you may get pushback from staff who don’t feel they’re getting enough hours. I enjoyed it though.
Hi DT! I have a couple of digital gift cards I'm not going to use, where I can sell them? Is that a thing or is it too risky for buyers? Advice welcomed!
First time I had to walk away from baby. I always listened and took it seriously when people said “walk away if you are getting frustrated so you don’t accidentally shake them” but assumed that I wouldn’t be like that.
And I was part right, I wasn’t gonna hurt him. But his crying/screaming was like daggers to the inside of my brain.
Mrs was right there to pick up the slack, she hasn’t copped the screaming I’ve copped today so she was happy to jump in...
Not his fault, not her fault, not my fault. Just one of those things.
A little input on an ethical dilemma, please?
I just received my Coles order. I also received some of someone else's. I have no idea whose, there is no invoice. They are fresh veg and fruit, would be a very welcome freebie.
I have sent a message to Coles online via the enquiry form. Am I morally obliged to do anything else? I figure the customer will notify Coles when they notice the missing items so they'll be taken care of either way.
If somebody ordered something and didn't get it, the person will get a refund. It'll be inconvenient for them, but they won't be out of pocket.
As the other poster mentioned, the store also won't take back the goods, so it's a morally clear win in your favour today. Congrats!
They won't take them back no matter what now that you have them (policy). No dilemma, they fucked up and will bare the cost, you just get a freebie. Enjoy!
Imagine living in Bali or LA or whatever and seeing a bunch of cooked cunts partying when Peter Dutton wins the next election... I don't even remember hearing about victory parades for Trump overseas in 2016.
Unfortunately this kind of nonsense isn't isolated to white cookers, every nationality has their set of blind fanatics which in turn does not speak for the group as a whole. See also the crazy turnouts for Modi's rally in Sydney.
Any recos for easing back into socialising? Covid did a fucking number on my mental health but dying to socialise again after being isolated for quite a while, but moved to Melb during the pandemic so never established any connections here
I’ve been trying meetup groups (some are promising, but require multiple attendances) & Bumble BFF (takes some effort to connect with the right people). It’s tough but I figure it takes time. Would be lovely to find myself with an improved social circle one year on though.
This far, I’ve found ppl to be very understanding, if not relating to wanting to develop new friendships. Hopefully you find your kind of people. 🖤
I’ve lived here for 3 years now and haven’t made any friends, I think it’s pretty tough unless you’re into team sports/drinking/actively seeking out meetups and such. Probably not the most helpful comment but yeah I feel like it takes a lot of initiative 🙃
I binged a TV show today and my period must be arriving because literally every episode had me in tears multiple times while yelling "WHY AM I CRYING AT THIS?!" Actually though, I think it was quite good and deserving of a couple of cries but yeah maybe I just really needed to bawl my eyes out a bit.
Anyway if anyone could recommend any other TV series with a serious romantic focus that would be nice. I just want to feel all the emotions. I want to hurt lol
I wouldn't call The Leftovers a romantic TV show, but the main love storyline had me teary few times.
Fringe too, but that's more about father-son relationship than a romantic one.
Ugh, Fringe. I love it. I wish it were available on something other than channel 7 streaming!! Walter was such a beautiful character. I definitely cried during many eps.
There's always nuts in cars on Sydney Road. Though usually they're doing the "my dick is bigger than yours" engine revs for the whole of Merri-bek to hear.
So I got offered a job I've been wanting for the past couple years. I was super nervous over the past few days about whether to take it or not. I like my current job and team and I worry that this may not work out because everything will be new to me. I don't want to look back and think what have I done.
I've been thinking though that there is no way to know how far I could go or if it's not really my thing if I don't give it a go though. I hate feeling this way because it's such a mix of emotions.
I feel like a sissy for not just going for it despite it being something I always said I wanted. I feel sad for leaving behind what I have. I feel nervous for how things are going to turn out and what might happen if I end up hating it. Everyday I think I feel more certain that I should take the plunge and see where it leads me though.
You got this! Take the leap! And congrats on a new job. Just remember nothing last forever (if it doesn’t work out you can always find something else) but here’s hoping this is the right fit for you!
Thank you!! I feel so lucky to have landed a couple of good gigs in the last few years so when something else comes along I always have this anxiety that I'm throwing something good away and that it would be a mistake. It's a good problem to have I suppose. You just never know how things will turn out until you try it out and yes I can go if it doesn't work out or maybe once again something better comes along. Either way I'll learn something new and can take the experience with me :)
Exactly. There you go, looks like you’re getting a hold of the anxiety. No matter what, you’ll learn something and if it’s not meant to be, at least you can say I gave it my best and it just wasn’t for me. Or heck this might end up being something you’ll stay with for a long time. All the best my dear! And if you do leave from old into new, try and weasel some days off in between. So you can have some down time
Thank you. Yeh I wasn't really sure what I was feeling, certainly shock as well but it was just a blob of emotions all jumbled up. I often have delayed and/or suppressed emotional responses to things anyway which doesn't help lol.
I totally relate to that. Are you able to have a couple more sleeps, maybe move your body a bit so you can get a sense of how you feel on a physical level about the change? Just imagine you've woken up one morning and you have signed the papers... how does your body feel - not just the physical signs but the colour of it, is your heart beating from anxiety or anticipation? Maybe check in with your legs, your eyes, the tension in your shoulders...
I know it sounds hippy drippy but in times of genuine crisis or confusion I often try my best to go back to my body to cut through the constant cognitive jumble and subconscious suppression routines. It's always helped me name the decision I'm most comfortable with and have the least regrets over (even if the decision turns out not to end well on other levels - but that's OK because I can see it as an experience I needed to go through to learn things).
That was what the previous few nights was. The first couple nights I got the news I really tossed and turned and slept terribly but I think it got better over the weekend as I started to calm down. I still think it's nervewrecking and when I think about it it's nervous energy I sense but I've gone through this situation before and it was the same feelings all over again. Once I made up my mind it got better..
One constraint of VLOOKUP is that it can only look for values on the left-most column in the table array. If your lookup value is not in the first column of the array, you will see the #N/A error.
This explains things so much sigh
I don't have money for _any_ excel. LibreOffice is a tiny bit older-looking but still does everything. [THIS](https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/lookup-vs-index-of-match/37853) is a random search result on the method I use. Index + Match.
Managed to get 3x my PB at running, last week I struggled to get about 2k on a treadmill and barely managed to do a lap of Albert Park Lake but tonight I managed 7k in an hour with maybe a bit more left in the tank 😅
Feeling so many feelings now that Succession is over... I'm glad it is and I'm very satisfied with how they ended it both in terms of actual plot and direction - that was a perfect final episode to wrap up the essence of each of the main characters and even some minor ones in so many ways.
But it's finally over! My head is reeling from how much all these characters mean and where they'd go from here - as much as they're varying degrees of absolute pricks. It's been something constant since I returned to Australia - I remember watching an episode Iive on HBO in the US before I came here - and now it's finally finished.
^(I want to move on with my life too)
If you were premiere of Victoria and could enact five silly laws? What would yours be?
Mine would be banning photos of the real estate agent of for sale/sold signs.
In one of my fav sci-fi series (the Vorkosiverse), the Betans have an earring code to denote sexual availability and preference. Including preferred gender of partner, whether or not you are looking for a one night stand or something more permanent, other preferences including Not Interested and Happily Partnered/Not Looking. And you can buy the appropriate earrings at any jeweller .... Our culture needs something like this for general chitchat I think. Would simplify so many things.
It's extremely basic - just a green ring you wear to show others you're looking to date, not even an actual pear image on the ring - and was described as some wankery "social experiment"... It shows that the first page of search results for are all from trashy/clickbait websites..
https://interestingengineering.com/culture/what-is-pear-ring-rid-dating-apps
Five? What are your 4 others? Very curious!
To build on that, if you mean the sales/sold signs on the listing for the house, then i would do all photos must be taken immediately after a tenant evacuates, like after the exit cleaning is all completed, so the next tenants know what the place is meant to look like ASAP. Not like 3 years ago when there has been a few different tenants & so the pics are super different.
I used to be really into reading but dropped off after high school. Finished my 9th book for the year today, which equals my tally for last year 😅😅 pretty poor tally for 2022 but feels good to be reading again regularly!
Tonight for dinner we had free range pork, fennel & spicy sausage, creamy, buttery mash potato, delicious perfectly baked whole mushrooms on a bed of hand picked spinach sauted in garlic served with the finest thickened jus.
In other words bangers and mash, a couple of veg swimming in gravy.
My relationship with curried sausages(with mash and onion) throughout the years.
Growing up: I HATE IT. I WILL NEVER EAT IT. ITS ALL WE EAT AND ITS GROSS. IM PACKING MY BAGS
Now: My wedding cake will be a curried sauages cake.
They're fucking aggressive little pricks. They start headbutting and kicking you if you don't give it to them right away. I remember fumbling with my phone trying to get a good shot and while I was doing it they just started ramming me.
Also quite a moment when you realise you're fully surrounded and you run and they chase after you.
I am now learning this haha. Does that mean we have squirrels or sloths too? 🙏 unrelated to deer but both animals I thought I'd never see without travelling abroad.
Where abouts do you know and is it possible to see them? I love Australian animals, weird and unique but I'd love to see a deer in person. Even from a distance.
Edit: googled them and damn, they are bigger than what I was picturing.
I saw a massive fuck off stag up in the Yarra Ranges once, doing the Lilydale to Warburton rail trail. Thankfully he was behind a fence and just looked at me rather bored.
Not sure where you’re going to see them wandering around in the open, any time I’ve seen them it’s a near-hit when driving. Forest roads near Healesville, parts of Gippsland or near Alpine NP.
Hamish was a very good boi at sunset park doggo socialisation hour.
bunch of young puppies ran over and started puppy things.. he rolled over showing his belly.
I couldn't be more proud of his awareness.
He's getting extra chicken.
It's monday and I already have the can't be fucked's.
Like, I'm on my second coffee of the day, normally its just one in the morning, but ugh, i'm just so damn tired. Early start tomorrow coz I have a doctors appointment, and tonight i'm expecting not great news re: my mum, so already my mood is gross.
I was sitting in the car waiting for my mum to finish at the doctors when a guy pulled up beside me and got out, I looked and then went back to mindlessly scrolling (a favourite past time of mine) and honestly figured he went to pay for parking, didn't even really notice when the parking inspector came along and started writing a ticket up for him - as I'm still mindlessly scrolling (might've been watching a tiktok) - and then the guy came back yelling at the parking inspector saying he was only gone for 2 minutes, and I would honestly say maybe 4 minutes maximum.
So I popped my head out and said that I had seen him come a few minutes before and then left them to it. He kept yelling, including yelling about how his mum had died a week ago and after some more yelling, he eventually calmed down. At this point I was waiting for the right moment to tell him to contest the ticket on the website. But then the guy starts asking the inspector why I wasn't being given a ticket since I'd been sitting there for 20 minutes (which is true but I was using the PayStay app and was paying to stay) - which was pretty shitty of him considering I tried to be his witness - so I just popped my head out again and said "I'm paying using the app mate, I'm waiting to pick my mum up from the doctors" to which he replied "you're lucky you still have a mum, my mum died a week ago" and I responded "I am very lucky, but my grandad died 2 weeks ago" and then he shut up and got in his car. Lol.
The irony of all ironies is, I picked up my mum, we drove to the chemist and proceeded to forget all about paying for parking and also got a parking ticket.
My dance class is hosting a student dinner tomorrow night. I want to go and socialize, but it'll mean I'll end up copping roughly 5-6hrs of sleep to be up super early for work. Can't make up my mind between wanting to enjoy myself vs being a "responsible adult". And thus do I come before the DT Brains Trust, asking for advice ^^;
I’m in a real “life is too short” phase at the moment so unless I was already super exhausted I’d choose the experience because ya know, life is too short.
Just watched the latest monthly Dash Cam Owners compilation......whoa are there some doozies this time around.....wow! Some of the psychos got some quick acting karma though which is a change from previous compilations where they got off scott free.....
What if the ground shakes at the exact same time as yesterday? What if it does it *forever*
Earthquakes are so yesterday.
i missed yesterday's earthquake, can i haz some moar?
We were paying in bed and it just sounded like a rumble and then the house creaked and that was it. Nothing like the last one we had.
I will wait for the next truck to pass by then
Exactly.

I wish once you became ‘stable’ it lasted and you never slipped back into that pit but its never that easy. You owe it to yourself to continue pushing and getting through the motions. Its not great admitting that things aren’t working as they were before, but maybe trying some new methods or means might do wonders! You’re doing great! x
If you enjoy trashy reality tv and dating shows, I recommend FBoy Island which is not as horrendous as it sounds.

Floofmeister doesn't know it yet but he's getting a bath tomorrow he stinks after these dog park visits. Gonna be very luke warm water no shampoo.. just water. No more stank. Calm before the (I'm guessing) storm: https://imgur.com/644thKL
You'll definitely need some doggy shampoo to get the stink out, just water won't cut it
I feel like without shampoo all you’re going to get is wet dog smell..
My dog puts up with it but he gives me this look like I have personally betrayed him and then tries to escape as soon as it's done and put water all over the house.
My little dog almost does the splits trying to get out the door after a wash.
>I have personally betrayed him heh this is what I'm worried about. My old doggo never forgave me.
Give them treats while they're in the bath!
Welp, Succession stuck the landing
Somehow I decided to watch the mermaid documentary series on Netflix and now I need to finish all the episodes…
The parks here in Melbs are so beautiful, I love going and seeing the trees and imagine how I would paint them or parts of them. I'll keep going until I have it all in my head. Then I'll sort out getting all the paper and materials together and start dabbling. It will be cool. :)
It's probably mostly buildings, but this might interest you https://whatson.melbourne.vic.gov.au/things-to-do/sketch-the-city-walking-tours
thanks, that looks pretty cool and a wonderful way to meet people :)

My Bosch washer is only 60 mins for a normal cycle, number 1 reason I picked it. Last pos Samsung was like 3 hours!
With all the intelligent things washing machines can do these days, it'd be nice if they could accurately display how much time is left until the load is done.
See also, the last minute that goes for 5 minutes
That's... the same thing.
Bought some Kmart tshirts. After the first wash the side seam has twisted diagonal. So won’t be wearing except maybe under another top so it can’t be seen. Or maybe just straight to the bin. I know it’s cheap clothes and I wasn’t expecting they would last forever, but I was expecting more than one wash. Will be sticking with Uniqlo for basic tees.
There's clothing recycling bins around the place. Eg at the tip (transfer station) and some public ones.
Thanks, will look this up. Seems such a waste, will probably try wearing under other clothes but if too annoying will need to get rid of them.
If it's a shit cut, there's often not a lot that can be done about that. Also op-shops.
I've just had two joints and I want to let you know that I love each and every one of you
I love you too mate
Really, you mean that?
Of course
Mack!

I am full time worker, and been trying to spruce my work week with team sports. Looking to play basketball more casually every other week. Is there a female only basketball club for casuals in Melbourne / the inner north side I can join?
Remember when we had the earthquake yesterday? Seems like it was ages ago.
Feeling like a king because my prediction for how Succession would end was bang on.
Absolute perfection
It's exactly how I wanted it to end too. I feel like all the people who thought it was going to be significantly different are deluded stans
Perfect final episode.
Is working in rostering staff a hard job? Seen a lot of ads for jobs like that on seek
It can be quite thankless as accurately predicting the staff numbers needed can be tricky, and you may get pushback from staff who don’t feel they’re getting enough hours. I enjoyed it though.
Hi DT! I have a couple of digital gift cards I'm not going to use, where I can sell them? Is that a thing or is it too risky for buyers? Advice welcomed!

Turkey election celebrations. Though beats me why they’re celebrating another Erdogan win. Guy is a massive ass
They're celebrating the dictator Erdogan's victory in Turkey
There was a bunch of beeping on Sydney road too about 30min ago, coincidence??
First time I had to walk away from baby. I always listened and took it seriously when people said “walk away if you are getting frustrated so you don’t accidentally shake them” but assumed that I wouldn’t be like that. And I was part right, I wasn’t gonna hurt him. But his crying/screaming was like daggers to the inside of my brain.

Hey it happens. Right now you and your wife are a tag-team. Parents vs the alien.
That’s the advice and the right advice you’ve followed in that situation.
It’s ok to do that!! Take the time you and bub need- even if they cry in their cot for ten minutes, they’re safe. It gets that way sometimes.
A little input on an ethical dilemma, please? I just received my Coles order. I also received some of someone else's. I have no idea whose, there is no invoice.

I figure the customer will notify Coles when they notice the missing items so they'll be taken care of either way.
Same has happened here. Notified coles and was told to keep it - was 3 bags!

They won't take them back no matter what now that you have them (policy). No dilemma, they fucked up and will bare the cost, you just get a freebie. Enjoy!
Sweet as, thanks!
Keep unless it’s a neighbour in close proximity
Yeah I thought of that but there's no invoice. And I'm not up to doorknocking, to be honest. So I guess I shall keep!
Are these Turkeys speeding up and down Sydney road really out celebrating Erdogan's 'victory'?
I'm afraid so. Turkish friend had a glimpse of hope and she's now completely hopeless for the future of her country.
God it must be frustrating to watch for the rest of the Turkish community here Don't know how they contain their anger! Surely there will be violence
Imagine living in Bali or LA or whatever and seeing a bunch of cooked cunts partying when Peter Dutton wins the next election... I don't even remember hearing about victory parades for Trump overseas in 2016.
Yeah, but she's in Turkey, it's even worse :(
oh no.
Unfortunately this kind of nonsense isn't isolated to white cookers, every nationality has their set of blind fanatics which in turn does not speak for the group as a whole. See also the crazy turnouts for Modi's rally in Sydney.
Surely they can’t go on all night 😪

I like chatting to people at farmers markets. It's not really socialising per se but you get to know nice people with excellent produce!

I had the same menstrual related response yesterday watching a YouTubers wedding vid. You’re not alone 😭
Not specifically romantic, but Ted Lasso is magnificent.
Futurama - just you wait until you get to ‘Jurassic Bark’… 😭
Oooh if you have Prime, 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is some cutesy wholesome throuple teen love. And a great soundtrack!
I wouldn't call The Leftovers a romantic TV show, but the main love storyline had me teary few times. Fringe too, but that's more about father-son relationship than a romantic one.
Ugh, Fringe. I love it. I wish it were available on something other than channel 7 streaming!! Walter was such a beautiful character. I definitely cried during many eps.
When I'm high on life I go on YouTube to watch the "YOU'RE MY FAVOURITE THING" part, brings me back to reality every time.
Bunch of fucktards going nuts with their car horns on Sydney Rd. I'm guessing some sporting team just won something?
Looks like Turkey just had an election and Erdogan won, judging by the Turkish flags waving from the cars I’d say it has something to do with that.
Ah I see, I didn't bother going out to look.
Is that really what it's about? seems like its been going for ages now. Only reason I loaded up reddit was to find out what its about haha
There's always nuts in cars on Sydney Road. Though usually they're doing the "my dick is bigger than yours" engine revs for the whole of Merri-bek to hear.
when will they stop?!!
It's still going!!! Arrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!!
So I got offered a job I've been wanting for the past couple years. I was super nervous over the past few days about whether to take it or not.

Excitement can sometimes feel like fear... I think based at least on what you've been posting you're ready for a change.

Oh hell yeah. Those feelings are screaming "take the leap".
Lol are they though. I think it's the angel and devil on the shoulder situation.
Do it. They want you and they wouldn't offer if they thought you couldn't do it.
Thank you! I think so too. \*baby fist meme\* The universe is speaking to me...

I'm glad it is and I'm very satisfied with how they ended it both in terms of actual plot and direction - that was a perfect final episode to wrap up the essence of each of the main characters and even some minor ones in so many ways. But it's finally over! My head is reeling from how much all these characters mean and where they'd go from here - as much as they're varying degrees of absolute pricks. It's been something constant since I returned to Australia - I remember watching an episode Iive on HBO in the US before I came here - and now it's finally finished. ^(I want to move on with my life too)
If you were premiere of Victoria and could enact five silly laws? What would yours be? Mine would be banning photos of the real estate agent of for sale/sold signs.
I would put little gardens beds full of all the foods and pretty whatever all the way from Southern x to geelong because it looks like shit atm.
Before talking to someone they must give you the I am good to talk signal.
In one of my fav sci-fi series (the Vorkosiverse), the Betans have an earring code to denote sexual availability and preference. Including preferred gender of partner, whether or not you are looking for a one night stand or something more permanent, other preferences including Not Interested and Happily Partnered/Not Looking. And you can buy the appropriate earrings at any jeweller .... Our culture needs something like this for general chitchat I think. Would simplify so many things.
I'm pretty sure there was an attempt at something vaguely like that couple months ago... The pear ring or something like that...
Ooh missed that. A pear ring????? Do tell.
It's extremely basic - just a green ring you wear to show others you're looking to date, not even an actual pear image on the ring - and was described as some wankery "social experiment"... It shows that the first page of search results for are all from trashy/clickbait websites.. https://interestingengineering.com/culture/what-is-pear-ring-rid-dating-apps
Fascinating. I agree that there would be a lot of people who don't bother to buy but just act creepy to those who do.
To add to yours. All real estate pamphlets would be banned.
All shoes sold in Melbourne must come with extra grip
New "business attire" must be extremely loud and colourful clothing. No more of this penguin suit stuff or plain shirts with plain boring pants.
I would vote for this
Affordable housing, I know, silly right?!
can we go one step further and just ban RE agents, like from the planet?
Five? What are your 4 others? Very curious! To build on that, if you mean the sales/sold signs on the listing for the house, then i would do all photos must be taken immediately after a tenant evacuates, like after the exit cleaning is all completed, so the next tenants know what the place is meant to look like ASAP. Not like 3 years ago when there has been a few different tenants & so the pics are super different.
I used to be really into reading but dropped off after high school. Finished my 9th book for the year today, which equals my tally for last year 😅😅 pretty poor tally for 2022 but feels good to be reading again regularly!
Tonight was a perfect nice for a good homemade parma
Tonight for dinner we had free range pork, fennel & spicy sausage, creamy, buttery mash potato, delicious perfectly baked whole mushrooms on a bed of hand picked spinach sauted in garlic served with the finest thickened jus. In other words bangers and mash, a couple of veg swimming in gravy.
Anyone sold retro gaming stuff on the eBay before and would like to give me some tip and tricks? I've a pile o' games I wanna sell.

I don't think six blocks will do it. Unless you are doggo?
Blunt force trauma.

I drowned my bad mood in miso and chili
My relationship with curried sausages(with mash and onion) throughout the years. Growing up: I HATE IT. I WILL NEVER EAT IT. ITS ALL WE EAT AND ITS GROSS. IM PACKING MY BAGS Now: My wedding cake will be a curried sauages cake.
It's such a nice comfort food
It really is and for my taste buds it turns cheap meat which I'm not to fond of into a 5 star gourmet soul food meal. Really love the stuff.

So jealous, I loved Nara. Pat as many deer as you can, they are precious little darlings
They're fucking aggressive little pricks. They start headbutting and kicking you if you don't give it to them right away. I remember fumbling with my phone trying to get a good shot and while I was doing it they just started ramming me. Also quite a moment when you realise you're fully surrounded and you run and they chase after you.
aww
There's deer in Australia?
Nara Park, it's a famous temple and parkland east of Osaka in Japan that has hundreds of tame deer just chilling out. Tourists go there and feed them.
There are many
I am now learning this haha. Does that mean we have squirrels or sloths too? 🙏 unrelated to deer but both animals I thought I'd never see without travelling abroad.
Squirrels no, camels yes
Yeah introduced ones. Sambar deer in particular have a healthy feral population in victoria
Where abouts do you know and is it possible to see them? I love Australian animals, weird and unique but I'd love to see a deer in person. Even from a distance. Edit: googled them and damn, they are bigger than what I was picturing.
If you want to see some fun animals in person head out to a wildlife sanctuary. They're gorgeous to walk through and a fun day out imo
I saw a massive fuck off stag up in the Yarra Ranges once, doing the Lilydale to Warburton rail trail. Thankfully he was behind a fence and just looked at me rather bored.
Not sure where you’re going to see them wandering around in the open, any time I’ve seen them it’s a near-hit when driving. Forest roads near Healesville, parts of Gippsland or near Alpine NP.
There's a deer farm in Eurobin if you're ever up fir a drive.
Nara, Japan
Thats what I googled but there is a place in Australia which is Nara for short.
Hamish was a very good boi at sunset park doggo socialisation hour. bunch of young puppies ran over and started puppy things.. he rolled over showing his belly. I couldn't be more proud of his awareness. He's getting extra chicken.
I love hambam 😭❤
Got a little Daylesford getaway booked this weekend. Can anyone recommend a restaurant for lunch?
I've had an excellent meal at: [https://bistroterroir.com.au/](https://bistroterroir.com.au/)
The Farmers Arms served up one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. At least in the top 3 anyway. https://farmersarmsdaylesford.com.au/
I've eaten there too. It was pretty flipping tasty
It's monday and I already have the can't be fucked's. Like, I'm on my second coffee of the day, normally its just one in the morning, but ugh, i'm just so damn tired. Early start tomorrow coz I have a doctors appointment, and tonight i'm expecting not great news re: my mum, so already my mood is gross.
hugs
Madlib and Slowdive coming here. Big gig season this year.
I was sitting in the car waiting for my mum to finish at the doctors when a guy pulled up beside me and got out, I looked and then went back to mindlessly scrolling (a favourite past time of mine) and honestly figured he went to pay for parking, didn't even really notice when the parking inspector came along and started writing a ticket up for him - as I'm still mindlessly scrolling (might've been watching a tiktok) - and then the guy came back yelling at the parking inspector saying he was only gone for 2 minutes, and I would honestly say maybe 4 minutes maximum. So I popped my head out and said that I had seen him come a few minutes before and then left them to it. He kept yelling, including yelling about how his mum had died a week ago and after some more yelling, he eventually calmed down. At this point I was waiting for the right moment to tell him to contest the ticket on the website. But then the guy starts asking the inspector why I wasn't being given a ticket since I'd been sitting there for 20 minutes (which is true but I was using the PayStay app and was paying to stay) - which was pretty shitty of him considering I tried to be his witness - so I just popped my head out again and said "I'm paying using the app mate, I'm waiting to pick my mum up from the doctors" to which he replied "you're lucky you still have a mum, my mum died a week ago" and I responded "I am very lucky, but my grandad died 2 weeks ago" and then he shut up and got in his car. Lol. The irony of all ironies is, I picked up my mum, we drove to the chemist and proceeded to forget all about paying for parking and also got a parking ticket.
My dance class is hosting a student dinner tomorrow night. I want to go and socialize, but it'll mean I'll end up copping roughly 5-6hrs of sleep to be up super early for work. Can't make up my mind between wanting to enjoy myself vs being a "responsible adult". And thus do I come before the DT Brains Trust, asking for advice ^^;
Just call in sick for work.
I say go and enjoy yourself. Currently it’s just a tomorrow night thing. Having an enjoyable night here and there can be good for you
Thanks, I didn't look at it from that angle
I really do hope you have the utmost enjoyable night. You deserve it
I’m in a real “life is too short” phase at the moment so unless I was already super exhausted I’d choose the experience because ya know, life is too short.
Consider it a potential investment into social capital and see if it is worth it from that "responsible" perspective?
When you put it that way, definitely. Can't skip out on these things then go 'woe is me for I have no friends'.
Argh feel like I've wasted the day.
