Bummer
I’ve been struggling for hours to get my abdominal pain down to manageable levels and am currently back on a liquid diet. The severe pain is happening so frequently now and all the specialists so far have just shrugged or been jerks. Trying to get in with a pain management clinic via a private route now because this is debilitating.
I’m sorry, there are still areas where modern medicine just goes 🤷♀️
Yup. ‘Guess it’s all in your head, GL.’
Except they don’t say good luck.
Yeah, it’s more like, ‘welp, I’m all out of ideas so…you’re on your own’.
I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I hope they can help.
Thanks. Fingers crossed there’s something
I’ve made a new post named Tucker Time on !foodaustralia@aussie.zone replacing What’s for dinner? That way you can post about your breakfast, lunch, dinner etc.
It would be great if you could contribute unless of course if you live on air. Thank you.
Just watched my elderly neighbour reverse into his mailbox. Barely any damage, but I just know he’ll spend the next 3 days ‘fixing’ it loudly with every power tool he owns.
is the car ok?
Might have cracked his bumper a bit but that’s all. He was going very slow, but managed to knock the box over.
yikes. Vic roads should probably have a “dob in an old person who shouldnt drive any more” hotline. Though TBH, one incident probably isnt enough to make that judgement call. But its a small step from there to “Was trying to park and accidentally ran over the wife and went through a shop front”.
I’ve seen him drive around locally and always seemed fine. But yeah, he’s in his late 70s (maybe even early 80s now) so not gonna get better.
The press fawning over “our” Queen Mary is really cringe and gross. She got married so what. She didn’t invent the cure for cancer. Australia isn’t special, deal with it.
She bailed on Australia to go live in another country. That’s how much she loves Australia
It’s a little fairy tale not as bad as the humidity.
All that glitters ain’t gold.
calm down space cowboy
There are worse things in the world we can be angry about.
I wouldn’t say I was angry, more repulsed.
That aside what’s your point? That I shouldn’t have posted the comment? Hmm no I don’t think so I’m entitled to critique the medias silly fawning.
I hope the press doesn’t harass her to death. The Ghouls.
PSA: I’ve lost some photos. Partly my fault, partly computers dying. Anyway right now I had 3 or 4 repositories or backups, most duplicated, but I only discovered recently that at some point something corrupted and I lost some priceless photos. Spent 3 weeks digging through old storage to find a backup and luckily, I found a VERY old SD card that contains them. Its a miracle that it survived this long. I nearly cried tears of joy. Anyway, if you don’t have a good backup solution? Go make one. Right bloody now!
I’m also open to suggestions for management/organization of photos. Right now im across iCloud for recent stuff, Dropbox for last gen stuff, and then google drive for older than that stuff. And its just chaos!
Print them out and put them in an album. Use the best paper, ink, glue and album you can find. The pictures should last quite a few decades, if not more.
We’ve just done that in the form of a calendar for the grandparents, but we’re talking a need for more long term cold storage.
This is a great idea.
Every year my wife and I pick out our fave photos of the year across both of our phones (because that’s where they all get taken these days!), and when Snapfish do their big yearly sale at the start of Jan we get a hardcover photo book made up.
It helps to have a folder that we just dump photos we particularly like into as the year goes on, makes things quick come book compiling time.
Just this weekend gone our niece was staying with us, and she loved going through our little collection of photo books on the shelf, and I admit I enjoyed it too! I love the experience of browsing a book or album of printed photos.
That’s a lovely idea!
A long time ago people used to get “slides” made out of their photos and would have slide shows at home. Slides are quite durable and in a pinch you could even have a lantern show.

I just put my shower curtain liner in the washing machine, and it made me wonder how many people actually have shower curtains and not glass panels these days. I suspect it is an ever-dwindling number.
I feel like they’re still a feature in accommodation.
I tend to see them as part of shower-over-bath arrangements, which I have. My MIL had her bathroom done out like a hospital bathroom (ie the floor of the bathroom is also the shower floor, so you walk straight in without stepping over anything) and she has a curtain too.

How on earth did that get approved for the App Store?
Anything can really as long as it’s not a virus.
Someone on reddit Melbourne dt can’t log in to aussie.zone using Firefox. I don’t know what this means. Maybe someone here can help.
Get them to try dumping their cache, i’m on ff and it’s working fine
Work goes so much faster when you have something genuinely interesting to investigate. Accidentally stayed late, I never do that!
So sore and tired , no cooking, I’m having gyoza for dinner 🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🥟🌶️
Yum yum!
I have encountered the most saddest Apple strudel.
The pastry was so thick and claggy… I could only eat the filling.
This has made me angry 😡
Oh, it was not good. I have made a cheat one with frozen pastry that was better, even days later.
mmm, it should be light and fluffy
at home if it’s a problem brush the pastry with beaten egg before making the pie and that will help stop it going soggy
I know! I already knew something was wrong when I spent a minute trying to sever the end bit of pastry. I should have taken a photo.
Sky pretty
Top night for it! Enjoy your tennis 🎾
Nice pic!

it’s a toss-up in my household as to who sucks more: Colesworth or Australia Post.
At least colesworth delicer, I guess…
Colesworth for me
Never had major issues with Aus Post. Hate the duopoly bastardry.
That’s a tough one. Aus post I haven’t have any issues but my local post office sucks. On the other hand Coles worth suck but the staff of my local stupor markets are lovely.
Not my f’ing day.
Just spilt my entire dinner on the god damn carpet and had to do a massive cleanup and remaking dinner again as all of it had to be tossed out.
It’s the last thing I need right now!
gees
Poor bugger, I feel for you, that really sucks. At least you made another… I’ve been known to crack the shits and go without in a huff like an idiot
Trust me I cracked the shits.
It was souped based as well which made it so much worse to clean up.
Almost thought about going without as well.
Anyway time to take a deep breath.
Still annoyed at myself.
