I think I’ve overdone my stress eating.
Oooooh carbs. My old friend.
Hello carbos, my old friend,
I’ve come to gnaw on you again,
Nighttime I dream I’m consuming
Noodles, pasta, rice I’m wanting
But eventually you’ll turn to sugar from grain
And cause me pain
From diabetesand through the salted water I saw
A hundred noodles maybe more
Softly bubbling without leaking
They float around and they’re not stickingSalted strandlets coiled and headed for my maw
I do adore
The taste of pasta
😍
I’ve already had about half a cup of rice but I’m about to chow down on some chips… definitely craving the carbs tonight as well.
Yummy chippies.
As ambitious as it was I wasn’t able to eat the whole lot so I have dinner for tomorrow as well.
The surf is roaring in the distance… ‘bout 1.5km away, honestly one of my favourite sounds. Then every few minutes the neighbours’ cow moos and I lose my shit. I don’t know why a random cow mooing at 1am is funny but it is. Dog barking isn’t funny, plovers squawking isn’t funny… but when the cow goes it hits different.
Good night everyone.
Nice emoji choice 😺
🙂
My father kept us imprisoned in the house. He would take me to and from school, and my mother to and from work.
Sometimes I would be allowed to go with him to do the weekly food shopping. That was it. The rest of the time, we were props from him to unleash his insanity onto.
As I grew older, my mother convinced him to let her take me to the doctor with her, by ourselves. She would then tell me to go visit with friends, then we would meet back up and go home together, with him none the wiser.
Sometimes my mother is in my dreams and for a split second when I wake up I have forgotten she has passed away.
What a life it has been.
Bro. thats… thats so shit. I’m glad you are free now. Cant physically hug ya so go stand in front of a mirror give yourself a big hug and pretend for me, ok?
I’m glad you made it out and are here now.
Stories like this one, make me tear up knowing there are families out there living in forced nightmares.
Wouldn’t hesitate to sue if I can. All proceeds from the suit for a parenting licensing scheme.
Both my parents were the prison wardens of my life; without hijacking your post I’ll just say I grew up in a very uncharacteristic way for someone born early 70s. All those memes where they say they rode bikes all day with their friends and had to come home before the street lights came on and mucked about building cubbies etc., I cannot at all relate to. It’s hard when you can be long out of an abusive situation and it still just randomly pops up for no reason, like you’re out of it but never really free. It took a shamefully long time into my adulthood to realise that I am an adult, and have to employ my own initiative in life. I’m glad you’re out of that situation, and I hope the random “pop up” trauma doesn’t trouble you too much 🙏🏼
I’m sorry you went through that.
I truly understand how you feel ❤️
Slept for 7 hours uninterrupted. Luxury!!
This level of sleepage is unheard of by those in my household aged between 13 and 79 lol
Anybody what anything from Aldi while I’m down there? Milk, bread, power tool?
Ooh, may I please have some salted pretzel chocolate? Thank you! And if there’s something crafty and cheap from the Middle Aisle of Dreams, that would be so fun, thank you!
Will do.
some lactose free milk please, do they have lactose free condensed milk?
No. I’ve never seen condensed milk there but I have seen evaporated milk.
They do have lactose free milk both fresh and long life.
evaporated is actually what I meant , it’s for in coffee
Oh. I had a look for condensed anyway and they do have it. Wasn’t there when I needed it.
gratin please mother
Such beautiful manners. Of course anything for you, now clean your room.
thank you mother, yes mother
Felafel mix please, theirs is quite good
Question. What’s in a falafel mix? I’ve only ever made them from scratch.
It’s really just pre-herbed flour. But if you don’t do much else with besan it’s handy rather than having loads of plain in the house for moths to get at.
Interesting because when you make them from scratch you don’t put much flour in. Maybe just a small sprinkle if it’s too moist for frying.
Gin! mine is always out of gin!
Hmm… I’m a fan of the Trimat sensitive laundry sauce, the dark chocolate, and I used to like the Lacura red tub face cream. (Do they still have it?)
The soy milk and bread are also the same thing as elsewhere, pretty solid
They have a lot of alternative long life milks for cheaper.
I think they still have the red Lacura but it’s a special buy. I’ll see what I can magic up.
2 boxes of spinach and ricotta flavour potato gratin please.
Noted. I’ll also grab you a box of their spinach mini quiches to try because they are really good.
Eggs. Local colesworth was fresh out of them last night. 1 doz of the largest size with the longest useby date please.
Oooo. You are pushing your luck there love. How about I pop over to the local IGA and get you a 30 pack of farm fresh eggs. You can share with your neighbours.
Thank you very kindly. Trade goods rating AAAAA++. Should be able to swap for tomato seedlings at the very least.
@CEOofmyhouse56
Their dark choc is better than most other brands that sell for twice the price.
@Seagoon_Better than Whittaker’s?
Much!
Laundrite powder and Logix Platinum dishwasher tablets. And chocolate!
They have proper peanut m&ms there now which is good and bad news.
Ooh I’ll take some of those please
4 packets of peanut m&ms
1 for you 3 for me.
😮🤤
Some beef mince, burger buns, cheese, bacon and sauce if you wouldn’t mind.
I’m craving burgers!
I think I am too now.
Had a dream that UFC was on at the MCG and I had lounge tickets, so I went and took my cat. Just carried him around with me and he was entranced because there was a parade of women wearing huge, sparkly ballgowns. The food in the lounge sucked and tbh it kind of resembled some old rich person’s house with pale pink carpets and curtains. Pretty sure I went ringside and watched a fight, but the cat wasn’t enjoyed it, so we went back up to the lounge. Cat and I went home where I found out that Lizzo was going to be playing at the AFL Grand Final alongside Katy Perry.
Better than dreaming about needing to prove myself at work, I guess!
I’m doing my part🏴☠️

Can’t believe the bear on a bike at Barkly Square was stolen?
The thieves used a crane!!! Seems very organised. You don’t just steal a very heavy very famous sculpture to put in your own front yard.
Professional scrap metal thieves, like the ones that steal the copper cables from railway crossings to sell.
who has a big enough pot to melt it down?
and who would buy it?
There has to be somewhere they take it to cut it into smaller anonymous pieces.
Some crooked metalworking place
Lots of these - with big machines to chop metal things up into smaller bits. Until recently there was one in Weston St in Brunswick - just near Barkly Square and next door to the Comanchero Bikie Gang headquarters. Not a coincidence I think.
Aww man I love that sculpture ☹️
Ahoy there m’hearties! It do be Talk Like a Pirate Day! 🏴☠️
Arrrrr!
1 seeder 200 leachers.
I feel a pirate song coming on.

As requested
Today’s the day I know for sure I need antihistamines this season 😢
Today’s the day I’ve ramped it up to nasal spray + tablets. And I’m still a bit concerned I could be coming down with something.
I’m so itchy it’s not funny 😣
I’ve wrecked myself today as well but stress could have contributed to it.
My birth certificate got lost somewhere in the house a year or so ago and after many unsuccessful attempts to find it, I’d decided today was going to be the day I’d apply for a new one. Checked the Justice services joint in Broady was open and off I went on the bus and train. Sign on the door apologising for inconvenience but they are no longer processing BD&M requests, scan the QR code for a list of other locations and go there. Ok, so I did and Reservoir was the closest, so off I went on the bus and train. Get to Reservoir and the same sign is on their front door!
Ended up getting photocopied notarised documents and submitted online, which I didn’t want to do because I hate sending personal ID documents online, would much rather do in person. I just don’t feel safe. The website is an utter shitshow, wouldn’t accept my postal address, I’ve seen window cleaning junkies work more effectively.
So I got home and baked brownies with the kids, and they are fudgy and delicious (the brownies not the kids)
Sorry to hear about the trouble you experienced today.
It must have been frustrating as hell to deal with.
Those brownies look so nice. I could really use a batch of them warm right now after the shitty day I’ve had and fall into a blissful food coma.
They look great!
That is so frustrating!
Yum!
they do look good 😋
Edit: Moved to gardening thread
I keep waking up swinging my arms. it started a week or 2 ago I dreamt the toddler was falling off the bed and woke up basically throwing myself over the mrs to catch him, only it was 3am and he was in his own bed. Happened a few times last night where i woke up jolting my arms out or something. Worried its only a matter of time till I hit the mrs or a cat in my sleep. Not exactly sure what I can do stop it.
cuddle a big teddy bear in your sleep
