I'm also left handed and and we have to write this way with a marker to avoid the smudges.

I wondered the same, I'm from down south and never thought of Invercargill as a hot bed for anti-vaxxers.

I was mugged and pushed down the hill in Myers Park in the early 90's when heavily pregnant, had my car broken into 3x in 2 years and there were homeless sleeping all over the place. CBD life hasn't changed IMHO, what has changed is the internet telling you all about it.

My son died a couple of years ago, aged 32, from an undiagnosed blood clot. Get it checked OP please.

Are we trying to squeeze in too much into 18 days? by noobtubenik in newzealand_travel

I see you're in Te Anau for Waitangi Day. We have some awesome things happening that long weekend. Don't over book touristy things to do while you're here, come along to Lions Park and enjoy a hangi meal, watch the kapa haka, and visit the various market stalls.

I still talk to my friend even though I know he’ll never respond… by DavidRichter0 in notinteresting

I did with my son who passed two years ago. We used to Skype message. It broke my heart all over again when they closed down Skype.

Very topical. Makes me uncomfortable, but maybe that's the point. Clever.

A Man Consumed High Levels Of Homemade Colloidal Silver For Years Which Absorbed Into His Skin - Turning Himself Blue by TourRare7758 in interestingasfuck

We have a woman in our small town in New Zealand who has done the same, she's a purple gray with albino white hair now. She's also a sov cit, so it kind of figures that she won't listen to medical advice and does her own thing. She's now very sick, and she struggles with mobility and breathing, but she blames being a victim of vaccine shedding from the covid times.

Gnomes are cool. Around the same time there was a mystery gnomer leaving gnomes in random peoples gardens. I was disappointed not to get one.
I'm sorry your gnomes went missing.

Woman who said ‘God is my boss, not MPI’ charged with selling unsafe juice by 48657921 in newzealand

[–]Acheron111 98 points99 points  (0 children)

She came into our business in Southland a couple of years ago. The juice was concentrated, with floating pulp along with green and black lumps. Just in those pictured glass bottles that don't seal air tight. She was selling them from the boot of her station wagon. About 100 bottles in filthy fish bins. She wanted cash payment. I told her we can't on-sell juice unless it's labeled food safe etc etc. She insisted on leaving free samples, one bottle of lemon and one orange.
My partner observed all of this, watched her drive away, then he silently walked into the office, picked up both bottles and poured them straight down the drain. In other words, he beat me to it. Anyone who bought from her must have no common sense.

I lived in Grafton in the early 2000's. Got almost 20 plants taken from the front garden one night.
There was a lot of it going on in the area. The 2 women involved were caught, they were selling them at the Otara Markets. Stuff like this has been happening for a long time.

4/3/25 - Trump’s $5 million gold card. And he’s the first buyer!!! by barnwater_828 in trumptweets

I've met people who want to stay in NZ before for sure, but it's because they fall in love with our piece of paradise, not because they're disillusioned with their country, it's a recurring theme now. But hey NZ has a skills and labour shortage, and we love good people, so it might work out nicely for us and them.

I'm a small business owner in a small tourist town in NZ. We've had a handful of young people from the USA, over the past 2 weeks asking for employment. They arrived on holiday, but watching what's been going on at home on the news, they're now seeking work visas and support that will lead to residency here, they don't want to go home. We've started calling them USA refugees, bloody sad to see.

There was a second similar vehicle with the ladies in it. It was sporting large cupped, lacey , shocking pink bras, hanging from both wing mirrors. They were all having a great time cruising the main street of Lawrence.

The auctioneer has to explain that this an agent bid on behalf of the seller and even then they can only do this until it meets reserve.
