    Happy Laneway day everyone! Time for one too many beers and eating far too much food. And there may be music on in the background.

    Anyone got good leads on places to acquire non-white patterned sheer curtains? Doesn’t need to be skulls & bats, but not bloody granny florals would be grand.

      Spotlight has pinstripes, plains and semi-geometrics as well as the granny florals. I would imagine most manufacturers would have at least some designs that aren’t floral.

      random selection

        You’re getting different search results than I. Looked there first specifically because of the sale. Bugger the internet, will go in person.

    I drinking piña coladas
    While watching exposés
    Of speedrunning cheaters
    Breaking rules of the games
    And it’s narrated by an Aussie
    But from Queensland they are
    But they’re actually quite funny
    So I’ll forgive that faux pas

    You shouldn’t let them have a funeral. It makes them feel like people.

        Would a hollow watermelon head filled with alcoholic punch do? That way we wouldn’t have to cut into it.

      God, she was so petty! “Anonymous” complaints about paperclips and big words, my arse. She sounds like some bitchy aunties I’ve worked with eons ago.

      I was so glad to see Helly R back but so sad to see her trying to grapple with iMark’s coldness towards her. What a difference from Helena when she heard about Ms Casey being his outie’s seemingly dead wife - she instantly suggested they find out what happened as a team, rather than cast doubt.

      Also, Ricken is so pathetic.

    Heading back to melbs today.

    Haven’t been back since xmas. Gonna be a shock going through the CBD. Always blows my mind down here you only see a few people daily (usually on the foreshore / beach / shops) but people go out of their way to interact. Had more convos with randos down here in the last month than I have in the last 2 years in melbs.

    I say bring back the rando convo.

    Ok so still waiting on Toshiba, software company called and I’m calling back.

    And I’ve emailed the 3rd place to get an answer.

    The 3rd place is the one I really want, but I don’t think I’m getting it.

    Our daughter, our only child, cherished baby girl is out on a date. Don’t worry, she’s keeping us up to date. Plus I have life 360. I know exactly where she is.🥺

        Thanks. This kid screams nerd (I’ve seen pix) drives a suburu, is into D n D and looks after old people. OMG. I can easily scare him with a baseball bat.

          Good to know.

          In any case, if you need a bunch of 100kg+ gospel singing bros to show up let us know.

          Otherwise, we can protect him too.

      I’m sorry but isn’t it a bit creepy that you location-track your child like this? I’m glad that I grew up before that was a thing my parents could do.

        Weird and gross to do to a partner (like my ex did to me, basically forced me to download life360 and then would still accuse me of cheating 🤦🏼‍♀️), not so weird to do with one’s child, especially if they are underage.

        There’s a lot of nasty rhetoric going around from boys and men regarding women and girls, it’s safer knowing where their kid is and with whom.

          I dunno, I think we as a society have been restricting the rights of teenagers more and more. I’ve helped a lot of young adults access resources to escape from less than stellar parents unfortunately.

          My household uses life 360, and it’s come in handy. If one of us need to be picked up, we don’t have to yell on the phone trying to give out directions. It’s also good for the female safety part.

        No one cares what you think or how you grew up.

        You know nothing about this person and their family and yet you’re judging them based on a single comment.

        Your arrogance is almost impressive if it weren’t so obnoxious.

    Still no joy convincing the mrs on the camper trailer/poptop/whatever you want to call it. Found a couple worth checking out. But the flipside is I found tons of places I want to go assuming we get one.

    Today I am going to an outdoor event and apparently there will be rain (where?!) so I bought some heavy duty ponchos that will not fit in my bag. Alas. I will give them to their recipients upon arrival, but hopefully it’s a great day.
