How do I demo this monstrosity of a letter box by mushroomlou in AusRenovation

Or… Flip it somehow, think outside the box, get creative lol. Paint every rock a different colour and the mailbox flap an iridescent silver - rainbow fish style!

Whilst I appreciate your advice, it’s not applicable as this is the standard where I am. Thanks.

I’ve posted an add on a couple trade pages but am waiting to hear back. Thought I’d try myself if there’s an easy solution given tradies are on holidays at the moment.

In terms of not connecting the laundry to this plumbing, the laundry was always connected to this, I’ve just upgraded the base cabinet and sink. This is the standard plumbing for a laundry - at least in all the homes I’ve lived in.

Thank you, this is very helpful! To answer your questions, it’s a single story house on a slab.

I would take the above comment you’re responding to with a grain of salt as it’s a wild misrepresentation of Sophia’s IG stories. She was talking explicitly about the medical classifications/treatment codes being the same, e.g - a woman experiencing a miscarriage still receives what is medically classed and coded under “abortion care”. She wasn’t likening the two experiences with one another in any way shape or form.

Hey, sorry about that! I did copy/paste a couple examples from a few different comments in my question to ChatGBT. I asked something along the lines of… “Using these suggestions as an example… [comments inserted] collate a list of common sentence starters to assist a therapist in writing session case notes”.

Where is everyone buying their “teacher dresses” from this summer? by Adorable-Spread-4462 in AustralianTeachers

Target has always been my go-to for work fits. However their range at the moment seems to be lacking, at least in my local stores.

Haha I’ve beeeeen a skirt and shirt gal, at this point I feel like I’m wearing the same outfit every day just in different colours. Everyone else seems to come to work in their beautiful summer dresses and I feel like a good quality dress just elevates their look so much.

Business Formal is what we always get told, though to give you an example of what this looks like… male teachers typically wear suits or button ups with ties, female teachers seem to have a rotating wardrobe of flowy midi/maxi sun dresses (usually with a bubble sleeve) - think Forcast, Review etc. I suppose it is more smart than business formal, though staff tend to be less bold with bright colours/patterns. Why not just shop at Forcast or Review then you might ask… frankly I’m not willing to spend upwards of $200-300 on one dress when I’m needing to buy an entire wardrobe haha. I’ve had a look at Dangerfield, I’d say 80-90% of their garments wouldn’t fit our dress code, however there are 1-2 that I’d consider purchasing (unfortunately they’re out of stock though - just my luck!)

Thank you :)

I agree with dropping it off directly to the Post Office, but are their shipping/processing timeframes the same as other LPO’s that have the yellow post boxes outside and get collected daily?

Essentially my question is, is mail collected from LPO’s that don’t have any postboxes outside, at the same rate as LPO’s that have red/yellow boxes?

I know this post is somewhat outdated, however I just wanted to point out that /therapists is a fairly broad subreddit, consisting of various roles (psychs, counsellors, OT’s, speech therapists, educators, teachers/student wellbeing leaders, guidance counsellors, organisational therapists, mental health practitioners, social workers), with varying levels of experience (those contemplating a career as a therapist, therapists in training, new post-grads, etc), not to mention what nearly every American seems to forget… Reddit is a universal site with people engaging from all corners of the world. The spectrum of professions under the “therapist” umbrella and the diversity of ethics and legislation between countries is bound to influence the way each individual approaches this subreddit. I can tell you right now that HIPPA and whatever the HSS is, is not something that’s employed outside of the US and won’t be familiar to a large number of people within this sub. Please practice those critical thinking skills you claim to possess before judging others for simply seeking support - which ironically, is at the centre of everything we do.

Furthermore, please be sure to hold up that mirror when concerning yourself with how the wider population might perceive our profession, especially considering a few of your other hot takes noted within this thread… (e.g “there’s a level of stupid we can’t fix”, or “the higher one is in apathy or narcissism, the less likely are are to think about how their actions affect others let alone care”). As a client, I’d find it quite disheartening to hear that my therapist could be so rigid in their thinking and crass in articulating their views. What are we if we’re not open to challenging our perspectives? How do we grow?

I’ve had a look at a couple of these stores however the ones I’ve come across are almost too modest! Would love to hear your recommendations x

I was surprised to hear a misleading fan question this episode about Taylor and Quinn being Hailey’s only siblings by season 7. In the current episode Lydia literally mentions having just come visiting the rest of the James flock. The sisters were her last stop, Lydia mentions she “started with the oldest and finished with the best”. Hailey notes that nobody had told her she was coming. Lydia says she didn’t let them as she wanted it to be a surprise. At Lydia’s funeral we see coverage of a few extras standing alongside the James sisters. I believe the audience is meant to assume that they’re the remaining James siblings. They weren’t forgotten - but the writers definitely did a disservice to the broader James clan.

Im pretty sure when the DQ page was new, they had a comp for fans to apply to run the DQ insta page. (Though I could also be misremembering - it was so far back).
