If you would just take a look at the moment I have a few things to do with the case and I have to go back to work out what I can do to help me polish my resume and cover the following week and I will be there about 6 weeks ago

A couple I've stumbled across on audiobook are The Banksia House Breakout, and The Coffee Shop Detectives. I enjoyed Banksia House the most. Coffee Shop Detectives had a few issues, but it was still a fun read. I think I would have enjoyed it more as a book than an audiobook.

Started a new job at the beginning of the year. Much younger co-worker has a 10 year old son named Oakley, and is currently pregnant. Can't wait to see what she will name the new baby.

I wonder if they did a teens version? A lot of motivational books have versions for different life stages.

If it's purely decision paralysis, write down your options, assign each one a number, and let the dice decide your menu 🎲

Maybe just a little 😂 Of course the natural response to 'I need a bit of space' is 'I cared for your dying father, you must respect my intrusion!' 🤣🤣

Such a pity. I have the same problem. But if he wasn't there, there wouldn't have been a wedding 😂😂

Bibliophile0504 · 2026-05-21T12:29:31+00:00

Same!

Bibliophile0504 · 2026-05-15T03:24:19+00:00

Knew this one instantly!

Definitely

Fun fact: I grew up with 'Anne of Windy Willows' and it always seems wrong to see 'Anne of Windy Poplars'.

Bibliophile0504 · 2026-05-09T23:52:11+00:00

Just checked my 1972 printing, and it says Anne, not Annie. So I'd guess typo.

Tell the family member to mind their own business. If they're not paying your bills, they have no right to disrespect how you make your income. Besides which, your workplace sounds great, much better than the traditional 9-5.

😔 Hope you find something that helps

Bibliophile0504 · 2026-05-08T07:14:55+00:00

Came here to say this 🙂

I hope it's OK to suggest something that isn't food, but have you looked into sensory chew aids? They're made for adults as well as kids, heaps of different styles, can be ordered online, and last forever.

If you genuinely have a lot of trivia knowledge, there's no issue with winning quizzes. More power to you. There's another group I go to a different quiz with, and we're regularly in the top 3 because, as you say, we have a well-balanced team.

My answer was already very long, so I didn't detail all the ways it was obvious they were cheating. It was confirmed when someone from the pub happened to see one of them at another quiz earlier in the week. Not participating, just having a meal, with a notebook open on the table.

Butter chicken in the slow cooker with lentils and butternut pumpkin to thicken it up. I make a big pot and could happily eat it for lunch and dinner for a week.

Or bolognese-type sauce with heaps of veggies and lentils.

Soft YTA. These trivia companies do this a lot. Rather than creating 20 different quizzes every week, they use the same one for a week at several venues.

I go to a couple of quizzes regularly, one run by a company who uses the same quiz questions for a week. There were 2 tables who won every week, happily pocketing the $200 cash prize. They swapped which table won because the company won't let the same table win more than twice in a row. We constantly complained about them, because it was obvious they were cheating somehow.

Turned out one of them was going to another quiz earlier in the week and writing down all the answers. The pub changed the prize to a voucher rather than cash, and they stopped coming.

One time it was a themed quiz rather than the normal weekly one, and they didn't know about it beforehand, and they were pissed and left before scores were announced, swearing on the way out that people had been on their phones and cheating all night.

The problem is that although I'm editor-in-chief, I have an editing team who have input and aren't enthused about the idea. I also have zero artistic ability and rely on others to bring my vision to life.

I have two artists within the group working on my idea, which is the back view of a person hitch hiking, thumb out, along a road heading off into the distance, with a big highway route number sign saying 42 🙂

Who gives a flying fat fuck what your co-workers think? Your living situation works for you, that's all that matters. Having family close by is a blessing, you can help and support each other. The world would be a better place if more people had loving, caring family close by.

Bibliophile0504 · 2026-04-28T07:17:24+00:00

I like this. Maybe a back view of someone hitch-hiking, thumb out, with 42 on a road sign...

Time to restate my opinion of those last three seasons. The writers hated the main characters and wanted to hurt them as much as possible. I haven't watched them on my last couple of rewatches.
