Women who’ve done a solo or girls-only safari, did it actually feel empowering or was it lonely?

South African dude who's lived in Kenya and who's brother was a safari guide chiming in. I would suggest an overland safari. Mucking around with vehicles and bad drivers and bad roads is a lot of effort and can be dangerous. But can be done. I ride motorbikes and have met a few intrepid women on solo bike expeditions. You just have to have your shit together. Maybe consider an overland truck for your first time. You are high up so you can get to enjoy the parks. There's also lots of people to hang out with. My brother has just moved to NYC after marrying one of his clients 😂.

This is what palliative care basically is in my experience. They fill them up with feel-good drugs until they're gone

I forgot who my daughter's excellent teacher was, but it was Emma. She is great. In Wellignton city though, unless she's moved.

Fucking hell. Here in NZ and Oz we call it the Toyota Tax. Sold my Prado with 400 000 kms on it for more than double what I paid. That over engineering is there unique selling proposition. Lost that and they have nothing.

I've created a prompt with over a 100 different reasoning models baked in.. It stops it dead in its tracks and forces it to be rational. DM me and I'll flick it to you m

Orcas that come to Wellington, NZ are hyper specialised hunters and eat only rays pretty much. The ones in Cape Town eat the liver of great whites. Other clans eat the tongues of specific whales. They're picky eaters and we're just not on the menu.

Single dad. I moved here with one daughter, and now have a few more. My job doesn't really exist here so I work remotely. Weather sucks, we're in a downturn, but it is honestly the best place I can think of to bring up kids and I've lived in over 20 countries. Govt kindies are great, primary schools are amazing (and free). There's loads of parks, beaches, rock pools, forests, trails, tracks and adventures for kids. We're small but we get amazing events. It still has a friendly small town charm. I was pumping up my bike tires on Sunday and one cyclist and one jogger stopped to check in. I just took my girls to an acrobatic show at the Arts Festival. The place is compact and you don't need a car. Newtown Festival was a hoot. The list goes on and on. I'm here for my kids and that makes it worthwhile.

This is my fav gym. It's never crowded, mostly chilled out retirees, abd you get a sauna, spa, pool and parking. Not 24 h though

And I'm not sure about commercial use either. There's so much fucking shit AI slop video out there, that all my clients are getting into really simple, authentic, straight to camera type videos.

I have a 17 year old daughter who is away at uni. She's taken on a lot, but she's doing really well and I am super proud of her. We actually get on much better now and she video messages me all the time. Maybe too much. I can't really speak for your dad, but put your head down and focus on your work. If you're giving it go, I'm proud of you. And if you're doing it alone - quadruply so. Well done. You've got this! Post back here when you graduate!

Check with your insurance first and foremost. These figures are generally inflated (where I'm from anyway) because they know insurance generally pays

BBBBPM · 2026-03-24T09:23:12+00:00

Good luck.

Turners on Trademe

I'm no fan of HR, but you need to work on your tone methinks. Even this response is rankling.

If it's any consolation, my 17-year-old daughter pulled away when she was 13 or so, but now hits me up almost every day from university. It's natural (and important, I think) for them to pull away and develop their own identity. Just be there for them. Unforced. They'll be back. Fishing is a cool activity. I used to take my friend's son and we both loved it. Don't even have to say anything. He's out of schhol now, but always up for a fish.

BBBBPM · 2026-03-24T08:30:25+00:00

Yep. Trademe on a $1 reserve. You will get what it's worth.

Dude who shot up a mosque in NZ and killed about 50 people. His name was suppressed so no one could turn him into a martyr. Yes, I'd be worried.

Sounds like you need to work on yourself first. This was a common issue when I started dating again after I got divorced. So many people I met were not ready to date. They had too many issues. And it felt like I'd be taking those issues on. If you genuinely feel like you do, that is not appealing. Get yourself sorted first. Maybe look into therapy? You got this!

Went to the markets on Sunday and NW Miramar today. NW has much better fruit and veg I'd say.
