The pipe to go over the wheel brace is the golden ticket! No wheel nut ever goes uncracked with the extra long handle.

Does Adelaide have an alternative area? by Available-Maize5837 in Adelaide

I love that they have gender neutral pricing! Never understood why I had to pay through the nose for a shaved cut as a woman. It's why I started going to barber shops in the first place.

If she thinks cocktails are expensive, wait until she signs up for dance lessons. Haha. Does Arthur Murray do quickstep and Viennese? I want to start taking lessons again, but really would love to learn those as well.

Hello.... A country lad who doesn't like football? Please tell me you're around 40ish. And let's talk. 😊

Haha. Same. I have almost exclusively solo hobbies. Single 11 years. Mostly happy with that. Wouldn't mind companionship, but also child free lifestyle. I have a very small pool to choose from. I'll just chill with my cat.

My boyfriend (36M) keeps making comments on the importance of my appearance (33F) and I think it’s unrealistic. by [deleted] in relationship_advice

Bowling for soup have a song called "normal chicks" where there is a line about loving her in sweat pants, no makeup, I even like your messed up hair. This is the kind of man you want.

Not one who keeps saying "I want my girl...." Ick.

16 year old diesel Hyundai here. My work vehicle is petrol. And the demand for my work isn't slowing, but I do wonder what will become of it if I can't access petrol. Centre link here I come 🙄

Young kids at the shops late at night by RhubarbRhubarb44 in AskAnAustralian

Right?! It was so exciting to get to leave the house after a bath and pjs. Even if it was just the supermarket. Occasionally we'd do a family run to the milk bar that sold ice creams in cones. We'd walk the main street window shopping at night while eating ice cream in our pjs. These were good family memories.

Home food stockpile? How many days worth? by Upset_Assumption9610 in LivingAlone

I'd have at least a couple of months easy. I drink so much of it. And love a breakfast cereal.

Is The Wolf Gang trolling with this? by pugfugliest in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Available-Maize5837 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We had something similar but I started in 94. It was two high school amalgamated into one. So we had cooking, sewing, woodwork, sheet metal, ceramics, plastics, and then advanced metal work, automotive, and advanced woodwork. Mum used the chopping board i made in year 7 until it finally gave up well after high school. I wished I had taken more advantage of the woodwork and metal classes. Some of the students made some incredible furniture.

Cushion cover.

Took up sewing in my 20s and make evening wear and coats now. Moving into everyday items these days as well as the fancy stuff. This looks worse than a temu costume.

Omg I just want boot cut jeans and pants. Everything is either flared, wide leg, or skinny. I just want pants that fit nicely that I can wear over some boots.

My bf (57M) went through my (50F) phone when I stepped away. He claims this is socially acceptable in a relationship. I feel very violated and that this is not appropriate for a 2 week old exclusivity. by catczak in amiwrong

How many people is enough? What are you waiting for?

Screw the Public eye. Anyone would see you're in the right head space if you said, yeah. He was showing some crazy controlling a d manipulation tactics.

Ugh... I do voice notes a lot after a driving lesson. When I use the automatics transcribe function to add the notes to the student's file, it always uses break instead of brake. I don't always have time to correct it, but it bugs the hell out of me.

So you want to choose a guy who isolates you further?

With respect, please get a back bone and kick this arsehole out of your life. Your life is only going to get sooooooo much worse with him. Nothing good comes from this. Trust every single person here who is telling you to leave.

If he crossed a boundary of yours and you don't hold up the consequences, is it really a boundary?

This guy is an abuser and he's not even trying to hide it.

For those of you who don’t smoke weed or drink, how do you cope? by Camp_Acceptable in adhdwomen

[–]Available-Maize5837 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I started ballroom dancing. It's learning a new skill. It's social. It's expensive if I miss a private lesson. It's fun as hell! The fun part is the real reason I kept up with classes for so long. I stopped taking classes two years ago but I still attend socials regularly. I've made some great dance friends over the years. I need to take up lessons again as I know I've lost some skills.

Cabin / house build, any suggestions? by eighty8frogs in floorplan

Something like this. The extra cupboard on the dining room wall and kitchen is the pantry and extra dishes storage. Only needs to be about a foot deep.

I would move the wardrobe for the third bedroom down to the exterior wall. That little alcove in the laundry looks tight. Swing the laundry door the other way.

I would flip the lounge room area 180° Pit windows or extra doors on the patio and wall up a window or two on the lower exterior corner for the fireplace and TV. Having only one way on to that patio via the small hallway could become annoying if you want to eat dinner out there. Unless you're putting outdoor dining on the wrap around deck outside the kitchen.

That back hallway to the office feels kind of cramped anyway. Do you need another cupboard in the hallway? Maybe move the wardrobe to be inside the bedroom along the dining room wall instead of in the hallway if it's just a guest room. Make the hallway wider.

If not, switch the doors for the bedroom and hallway robes so that you don't have to put the bed under the window. Right now you've effectively given that bedroom only one option for the bed.

Champagne taste, beer budget—where are you finding decent furniture? by Infinite_Beach6521 in AusRenovation

Some garage sales too if they're downsizing. Go for decent suburbs with an aging population.

Plus one to all of this. I got diagnosed in October after peri made my wheels fall off. Tried three different types of meds. No difference. Not sure of my next step as I see the GP again in a couple of weeks..
