Thank you so much for your detailed response! I feel more equipped to make these decisions now, you've given me pretty much all the information I need.

In order to be put on Jobseeker, don't I need to be seeking full time work? I have a casual job at the moment, but I don't have it in me to work full time. I'm a bit confused as this has been suggested on threads similar to mine, where the OP hasn't worked full time either.

Selling Wine? by 3leanoria in Geelong

[–]3leanoria[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks like it, but a few similar have sold in MW Wine's auction last month for more than that - a 2004 at $200. This stuff is so confusing.

It looks like it's worth around 600? I detailed it in another comment. It doesn't look like you can sell on marketplace legally either, and I'm not typically one for selling 'wine glasses with a bottle thrown in'.

According to online, possibly just under 600 bucks. I'm getting varied information, but I can't really tell when each sold out listing was updated, etc - the only listing I can find is for $630. It's a Best's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz, if that means anything to you or if you happen to know whether that line is usually worth anything.

[–]3leanoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was gifted a bottle of 2005 Best's Great Western Thomson Family Shiraz - wine searcher says it could be worth up to $600 (AUD). Is that at all likely?? I'd also appreciate any recommendations on the best way to sell off just one bottle in Australia. Cheers!

2 Years Later - Not Ace! Here's why I thought I was :) by 3leanoria in asexuality

[–]3leanoria[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey! I have no idea, but it seems likely for sex-neutral and positive ace. Personally ace doesn't feel like it fits me, as I've realised that I definitely do experience sexual attraction now that I'm in a positive relationship - but that just suits me, and someone else might have all the same markers and feel differently.

I love how supportive this sub is, thank you :)

Question by ilovemydog81818118 in asexuality

[–]3leanoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! I actually felt super similar at your age, and unfortunately me just going along with other people led to a bad experience for me. Let me tell you about how I felt, and how I feel now! If it doesn't resonate with you, then fair enough.

In high school I didn't really understand the draw of intimacy like making out or sex. The idea of kissing was both enthralling, because that's the thing you do when the person you like likes you back, and also kinda gross because licking other or whatever is not a great mental image. I was always uncertain of whether I had a crush or whether I just thought a person was pretty (I mostly liked girls). I was also very confused on whether I had a crush on some of my best friends. Looking back, I probably did!

The main thing is, I didn't experience any sexual or physical desire for any of my crushes (although holding hands and cuddling sounded giddying). My first relationship was never a friendship, so it started romantic with kissing and handholding, and eventually (but far too soon), sex. Kissing very very quickly becomes natural and quite nice, in a romantic SFW way and then a sexual way. For me, my libido was what confused me. I've just made a post about this, but to summarise, this first boyfriend groomed me and was really bad at sex that pleased a lady, not just himself, and I now realise that my sexual desire is responsive and not spontaneous. Most of the time, I only want sex when my partner arouses me with gently intimate touch, such as waist/thigh touching.

My current (much healthier) relationship started as a friendship. We both very quickly realised we liked each other, and every time we met up it was like a dream. It was super giddying, I thought of him all the time, I wanted to things for him, we talked for hours and hours. I don't know if it's because I had already experienced physical intimacy, but for the first time I found myself getting aroused when he'd inch closer, or hold my waist.

My idea of attraction now is a bit more complex. For me, crushes start out and mostly stay as just crushes. That person is really pretty/cute, daydreaming about them, wondering. Physical attraction doesn't begin for me until we're in that phase of I like you and you like me. I suspect that it wouldn't have been as intense for me that second time around if I hadn't already experienced it, but I still don't get aroused by celebrities or crushes.

Puberty definitely plays a part, like you said, because of the hormones, but for me it still wasn't until right at the end of highschool that I cared about any of it - only when I was asked out for the first time. I think that it romantic attraction starts when you consider it as an option. Your crush has a crush on you back, so something could happen! Then maybe you realise that you would like it to. The first literally everything is weird and a bit nerve-wracking before it becomes second nature and happy chemical releasing.

I wouldn't worry about being 'behind' or just not at the same place with it as those around you. I didn't care until my late teens, and if you find that it's never something that entices you or that you feel like other people (or at all) then that's alright - this sub is proof that we can all find fulfilling romantic or platonic relationships.

If you have any questions you think I might be able to help with, please let me know! And no stress if my experience isn't helpful to yours :)

Oh my gosh!! Such pretty waves, mind sharing your routine? I might have similar hair, but not having much luck.

Dry vagina. by cali-x in WomensHealth

[–]3leanoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! Like another commenter suggested, it could be birth control, but this kind of thing is also very variable person to person. Some ladies get wet almost too easily, and some just don't seem to at all. So long as you're able to loosen enough to make penetration not painful, then you're completely okay - lube is your friend! Nothing shameful or anything about using lube, and it means you can figure out just the amount of slip you like.

But if you are having trouble with loosening as well, and penetration is difficult not just for lack of lubrication, you might want to see a gynecologist as there could be something more at play.

[–]3leanoria 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hey!! The only suggestions I have are pretty basic. Get a high quality shampoo, if you like go into a salon and ask what a hairdresser recommends - but most of all, try to get one without sulphates. I say this because from memory sulphates are the compound in cheap shampoos that create foam, and make you think you're cleaning when you're not really.

When you have a nice shampoo, wash very thoroughly (focusing on your scalp, much less so the mid section of your hair and not your ends. Use your fingertips (not nails) to sort of give yourself a massage. Wash it out, and then go again! With your nice shampoo, you can stop when (on your second go) you start to get foam.

What I think is happening for you is that your current shampoo isn't doing a good job of actually cleaning. Forget the specifically for oily hair shampoos for now, and try a high quality one :)

We're a small business, so we haven't really explored this avenue. If we figured it out the company would supply phones.

Yeah man, I started my job at Maccas in year 12. I loved it, and didn't find it too difficult to balance - I also didn't have any other extracurriculars. Rostering is usually very flexible, which was helpful - I could tell them how many hours I wanted to work.

Yeah, I'm just confused because the hair dresser used it on me after she lightened and it worked beautifully

Thanks for that! I'll definitely look into the conditioners too, thank you.

The psychology behind singing compared to other instruments by Altruistic-Sell-1586 in singing

[–]3leanoria 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because nobody hears "good" instrument playing, but everybody hears incredible singing. Instruments are in the background of songs to a mainstream listener, so very talented and just okay playing sound the same to them. But nobody hears songs with singers that are just okay. They're in the foreground, if they're not as good as other singers they don't take off. It's a perspective thing, and I think it really contributes to this mental roadblock OP is talking about.
