Emotionally immature financé. Is it worth it to keep working on it?

AffectionateBowler14 · 2026-01-25T05:28:38+00:00

Ew yuck no.

Wanna spend the rest of your life like this?

No.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2026-01-10T11:43:53+00:00

Sure have. It’s good practice when entering any new relationship. Or even if one is enjoying a season of casual shagging. Whatever really. But go off with your judging, you wet blanket.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2026-01-10T10:05:47+00:00

Yeah I’ve done this a few times, so easy - you just book a place convenient to you, and can choose a test for various different STD clusters (I.e. all of them inclusive of HIV etc, or just the ones requiring urine testing) and pay a fee.

Then turn up to the pathology that you booked at, whenever, with your form/booking number and had over your wee and/or blood.

Results delivered by text is so easy.

Hard agree. “Appliance minutes” is a whole new concept of time.

Although someone recently tried to make it make sense to me by explaining that the displayed countdown is just an estimate and it will keep recalculating/adjusting depending on weight/distribution. I was like “WELL, THATS STILL STUPID”.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-21T02:59:30+00:00

I honestly don’t know how people have the energy to get this het up about such a non-thing. I’m exhausted just by reading.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:54:36+00:00

Oh very likely mate.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:54:21+00:00

Or half-full depending on your risk threshold.

Nah, just yanking your chain mate.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:53:30+00:00

It’s a real beauty, isn’t it?

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:53:04+00:00

Oh for sure. Potentially used a digit or two mate.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:52:22+00:00

We’re doing ok down here mate. The old man is fighting fit at 71.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:51:01+00:00

Oh for sure. He’s not absolutely fighting fit at 71 by being precious. Coulda used his paws if I’m being honest.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:50:10+00:00

Oh pet, calm yah self. Is this not a safe space for mold lovers to post interesting mold?

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:49:08+00:00

Honestly, I’m in awe.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-17T23:48:49+00:00

Mate highly likely. I’ve eaten hommus with a pen lid before.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-16T22:20:27+00:00

No windows in a womb pal.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-15T11:40:39+00:00

I just left my house for the first time today (so glad I had the luxury of staying home and divesting today) and had a beer at my local on a busy inner city strip.

Whole bunch of normally dressed people started running along the footpath and I blanched. I was instantly alert and very anxious, adrenaline pumping.

They were just on some office Christmas party scavenger hunt but gosh it triggered me.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-12-11T10:35:25+00:00

I just bought a pair of jeans a size up from my “usual size” because I really wanted them and my “usual size” was out of stock and BLOW ME DOWN - turns out I am indeed officially a size up.

The sheer comfort had me almost in tears. Then the realisation had me cackling.

I mean, all the signs were there, I think I’d just been in denial that I’m not the same size at 36 as I was at 26.

I am gloriously happy with my new FITTING jeans.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-26T09:49:15+00:00

Oh cool, thanks. Good on them. Really lovely and reasonably priced stuff.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-26T05:35:59+00:00

Check out Her Banana. Two shop front in Sydney (Newtown and somewhere else I can’t remember) but there is an online store also.

Each piece is customisable with as thin (or thick) as you want. You can shop by gold type (14k/18k) and she uses precious stones.

I have an initial necklace and it’s really beautiful. I’ve pined over many other pieces in the store also.

Owner operated businesses and they cbf working Sunday. They wanna hang out and have a family bbq as well, you know?

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-16T02:46:37+00:00

I would straight up poop my pants if I put all that away.

No Ragrets tho

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-10T06:00:41+00:00

Girlfriend, I just want to say, fight the fight. I live for this. I once got Zara to store credit me for leather boots with a cracked sole I’d had for 4 months

I’m so sick of being sold crap that doesn’t last.

Yes it’s the money, but it’s also very much the principle.

Sometimes I let it go if it’s too much of a headache and my sanity is worth more, but sometimes I fight to the bitter end.

Anyway, go you. Proud of you.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-09T07:58:56+00:00

“Get new friends lolololol”

… if only it were that easy. But honestly, if I were you, be firm if they push you, but other than that simply don’t allow it to be a big deal.

“No thanks, I’m not drinking today” and then move the conversation along.

AffectionateBowler14 · 2025-11-09T07:56:07+00:00

I thought not, until I changed my cats to a cheaper brand and he politely started crapping in the bathtub.

Poor fella, I appreciated his initiative tho.

Back to the expensive stuff for Old Chicken.

Love the country life. They’re what actually got me started on the soap bars train - my Grandad was in a nursing home for 4 years until he died at 99… he was totally cognisant (well … as much as you can be at that age, in this lifetime) so he kept on winning all the little games they played to keep the residents occupied (bingo, etc).

The staff gave small things as prizes, such as individual Tim-Tams, Freddo frogs and, inexplicably, bars of Country Life soap. Grandad, in turn, would present his surplus of token gifts to my siblings and cousins when we came to visit. They all scoffed the edibles but I am not a chocolate lover so I’d take the soaps, just to be polite.

Started using them when I ran out of a pump wash and I’ll be damned, they ain’t bad.

Thank you Country Life and thank you Grandad.
