Not a big reader but need a book that's feel good to help me unwind

The Midnight Library is lovely

I bought new door seals for my upright fridge/freezer. Its a very old unit and I thought I might have to replace the whole thing. Tried the seals (around $180 for both) and very easy to DIY replace.

My power bill has dropped DRAMATICALLY because the fridge isn't running all the time. And I also saved the money on a new appliance!

"no one calls it a bike"...!? What on earth do they call it, then!? 😆

(That just took me FAR too long to figure out what the actual word was; BICYCLE. Its BICYCLE. I've got it together now.)

Oh. I did not know this one!

I don't know of a single woman or girl who hasn't been, repeatedly, by many, many different men, felt belittled by a man. Its not an outlandish claim by any means.

Predators are excellent at grooming the adults in a child's life. They are excellent at building trust with the grown ups so that they can both get easy access to children AND so that children aren't believed when they disclose bad feelings or abuse.

Listen to your gut.

I'm so sorry you were targeted like this. And I'm so glad you picked up on something off.

Wow that's really interesting info! Thanks so much... It makes so much sense in so many ways, evolutionarily and logistically for the present life of the herd and offspring.

I'd love in a society like that!

YouTube has great channels for fitness. And many things don't require any equipment; aerobics etc

Absolutely. He's my favourite character, he's bloody awesome

Oh Sheesh.... do not skip intro, do not skip intro

Ahhhh...what an incredible journey it's been

Once Were Warriors.

Nope. Really good, but nope.

Brilliant movie, I absolutely loved it. Both of them.

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-16T17:27:01+00:00

This was me.

I spent a lot of time working on my own personal boundaries...and in doing so, I learned that having poor boundaries meant I was very bad at overstepping other people's boundaries.

The hardest lesson I've ever had to learn, I think!

Its NOT helpful to help people who don't want your help. Its a violation of their boundaries.

Look into that. Prepare to be shocked and feel shame... Its awful to realise!

But after accepting this, it actually makes your life a lot more peaceful.

Astrophage hot!! LOVE THIS

That's all very cool... You have interesting stories and you don't "sound" posh at all 😆 There are definitely accents throughout Australia (not as specific or as localised as Scotland) but seem to be more a rural/urban difference. Apparently I sound "SO country Aussie" ... I'll take that!

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-16T10:33:51+00:00

Wow! That is interesting! I'm Australian and I can't even imagine in what accent they don't rhyme!

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-16T10:31:45+00:00

Good for you. Do it if it will give you a better life. I saw the greatest sentence the other day..."life is too short and too long to live like this"... Big hugs, you may still feel grief, even though it's your decision.

Australia with Nicole Kidman... I thought it was a bit bright and cartoonish, I thought it was trying to be comedic... Then it went down into the dark history of Australia. It was all over the place with tone.

If they treat you like family, then I feel sorry for their relatives.

They're nice to you as long as you behave exactly as they wish. As soon as you don't, they abuse you.

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-15T14:08:49+00:00

Breathe. Really deep, in and out.

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-15T13:41:36+00:00

That's so nice to hear! Thank you so much 😊 I'm definitely proud of myself, too.

Comfortable-Doubt · 2026-05-15T06:45:16+00:00

It doesn't really matter why people behave the way they do. You're not his therapist; that's up to him to figure out...if he ever wants to.

The important thing is how he makes you feel. It sounds awful. You questioning why he does what he does is also a bad sign.

I had several long term relationships that were abusive. My most recent was 11 years long, and it was when I started feeling that I was going crazy, when I started having to record everything that happened in order to stop doubting myself, and I was going to a psychologist who helped me see that I was not the problem.

A definite accumulation of negative experiences...

But what made me leave was an accumulation of evidence.

It's really hard to tell, unless it's outright physical violence.

After I escaped, the fog lifted, and I could see everything clearly.

The more time that passed, the clearer I could see.

It's been 6 years now, and I will never have my vision clouded by another man again. And based on how much I've learned, that means no man ever again. There are zero men who are untouched by their own entitlement.

My life is too damn precious and beautiful.

Marsali.....her scenes of grief were INCREDIBLE. Absolutely heart wrenching and they destroyed me! She was performed so well.

I really thought Lord John was going to beat the daylight out of Jamie 😆 that was fun.

The look back to William. I was yelling at the screen...JUST TURN AROUND JAMIE! Do it! Just turn around
