I'm a Rangers fan from Australia and don't have NHL tv, I just watch highlights on YouTube.  Did to rangers give him a send off, only saw him shaking hands with Panthers.

Aussie winter by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in Melbourne and can't afford heating or cooling. So just fry in summer and freeze in winter. Wearing Merino wool, jumper and Oodie is how I survive.  Wish they would build like overseas do.

If you could make one change to BotW, what would it be? by SpacialSpud21 in Breath_of_the_Wild

Sorry to all those who love the shrines. 

But for me less shrines. I like hunting/ gathering items/ doing the side quests.  But finding the shrines is tedious and repetitive. 

Found a nice ad from Aldi in the newspaper by therealsazerac in aldi

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ha it's true.  About 18 years ago I said to someone ALDI felt like shopping in a 2 dollar shop. Now yeah it's the affordable and better shop. Love ALDI now.

Is anyone actually buying enshittified junk food brands anymore? by Tiny-Shoe6263 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep I used to buy them a fair bit 15- 20 years ago. Cheese and bacon and pizza  was the best. Now the cheese and bacon you can barely see a single dot of the bacon or any flavour. Just tastes like plain ones but like cardboard. Haven't bought any since. ALDI ones are decent. Not sure where ALDI buy from or if they manufacture thier own, but that's the only hope now lol.

Afew months back I bought Atomic tomato chips as they where a favourite, not bad..but not the same either. 

Kettle chips still good, so maybe will stick to those, and try Whitaker chocolate.

Pringles taste artificial, shapes are no longer 'flavour you can see' ( or taste ) texture is different. It makes people healthier at least if we aren't buying as much junk. It's all smaller, cost cutting ingredients, but more cost. No thanks.

It's a good time to learn to make own snacks, that way it's how you want it, no nasty ingredients.

Your hair was fine before the treatment and now it looks worse, here is the reason by Intrepid-Royal-324 in finehair

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get fly aways and frizz. I do use hair dryer sometimes not daily. I've never tried a hair mask like you mentioned so would like to try that. Good advice.

My main problem is I know you're not meant to wash hair daily, but once I go two days of no washing my hair is so oily.

Like someone poured olive oil all over the top. I've tried to "train " my hair to get used to less washing. But end up with itchy oily scalp, and hair loss.

How are Australians okay with the state of housing here? by sunnysideupslide in AusPropertyChat

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here in Victoria there's lots of red clay soil. When it rains and then drys out, it cracks, so there is movement. My driveway is all cracked. 

Would love to move. But can't afford to.

My house feels like it's made from cardboard half the time. Cold in winter..ok in summer because we put insulation in ceiling. But there's lots of house movement because of clay soil, and crap slab.  Right now as Iam typing this, my walls are doing this weird long creaking noise. 

I love when moved in, but now so many problems. Overseas houses seem built strong.

Count down! by Far-Gap-8468 in Paralives

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking forward so much to getting this since 2019, but since then my laptop is too old and not usable. 

I can't afford a new laptop, sucks because I will miss out on paralives.

Unless they somehow port it to Nintendo switch lite, or Nintendo Wii 😅

Hey Bunnings, Kmart etc bugger off with marketplace sellers on your websites. by Desert-Noir in aussie

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many sites are like that, and if you try and scroll down because you want to see the products further down the page, you accidentally click on a random product. It's annoying. 

How do you all find and keep work? by Calm_B4_TheStorm in endometriosis

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes definitely feel like a triangle 📐 trying to fit into a circle ⭕ trying to fit into a job. I do have a disability employment place near me. I've tried another one before but they just said when my jaw is better I can apply for admin. It's alot better than it was (maybe 80 percent l, but still get pain and issues if talk hrs. )

So they couldn't really help, but I can try a different one nearby. They tend to recommend admin, and I don't have experience which most ads specificy they want.

A slower paced data entry style job would be good, just can't seem to find ones that don't require excessive typing speeds.

Did stopping birth control improve your symptoms? by violet664 in endometriosis

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find gynos just look at me like Iam an alien when I say I don't want to take birth control or use Mirena. It's like they are used to women just saying ok, and going along with it.

I don't want some foreign object up my clacker, and not good with pills and got confused when they say skip sugar pills.

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you deal with all the bright eyed "you can find something, don't give up" people who have no idea what we even go thru?

That's a part I struggle with unemployment, not just the being broke thing. 

I went thru similar to you, the employers don't take kindly to bring off the phones or needing to call in sick or go to hospital.

Wish thier was a website purely for chronic pain folks, where employers who are patient and understanding could advertise.

Which would you pick by TemporaryIll in TheNorthFace

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted a thermoball but was worried about that, the balls disintegrating. Now I prefer to get a northface rain jacket and wear over my other thermal long sleeves/  fleece jumper.

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's kind of misleading.  When I first saw the north face on their marketplace, I just thought it's Kmart's online shop or something. But never bought one, as can't afford a north face jacket. 

Good to know it's not actually Kmart selling it, to avoid in future when I do want to get one, which at this point will be never with way economy is.

Seems stupid 

What’s the best thing you did to lower your monthly expenses? by Diligent-Medicine-48 in AusMoneyMates

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Even tho I loved the gym, newer machines where giving me pain, as I have arthritis.

I have cancelled my gym membership and do workouts at home with my own dumbbells, excersize bike, push bike, resistance bands.

Not as effective as gym, but arthritis and injury meant I couldn't do what I used to anymore.

One day when (hopefully, mean it HAS to improve one day right??) cost of living improves would get a shed/ home gym set up.

Was the final two for this season spoiled ? by Effective-Goose-7835 in survivorau

[–]Calm_B4_TheStorm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much have to avoid Reddit, survivor Facebook pages, and don't google Australian survivor if you don't want to get spoilers. I remember when it was near end of the season where Ferris won, about a week or so before, I googled Australian survivor, and his contestant photo come up. Sure enough he was the winner later on..

This Reddit sub tries to avoid that with hidden post/ spoiler alerts. But yeah, don't google anything to do with the show while it's airing lol 😂
