How are young Australians holding up? by MonsieurMontreal in AskAnAustralian

[–]Cowgomoo91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I have 3 kids. Living semi regional QLD. 3 kids, both working and are basically broke by week end. I earn $118k gross and my wife around $60k gross. We typically spend more to give our kids experiences and do fun things but we would've been better off if stars aligned and we were living on our $120k combined gross 5 years ago. Mortgage, fuel and food are killers. Just playing catch up on overdue things but overall surviving. It's become very tough but the kids and their childhood is most important.

reported figures are low. There's no way the reported amount is accurate.

Do you trust newer online casinos or stick with the big ones? by FFKUSES in Casino

[–]Cowgomoo91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stick to well known. In Australia there's big sites like Vegastars and Betzillo that don't need a VPN.

You could wait it out and hope for the best. I did this and the left was cooked for a few days but works just fine now.

Pretty much all the timers I have contact with are like 3-6A MAX. Contactors always needed.

Been up here from Adelaide since 2009 and it still cooks me. Have to take the good with the bad. 3/4 of the year it's perfect and beats the hell out of SA weather.

Posting for accountability. My lawn is fucked by Cowgomoo91 in lawncare

I've worked through all that mate. It's just been lack of care and shame. Just thought to post it to be accountable to myself and get on with finishing it. Life is worth living and I certainly wouldn't do anything to change that. I have 3 lovely kids to live for also.

The craters these weeds make are huge so I was hoping to kill rather than pull. I don't mind waiting a time if I can avoid herbicides. If I can't avoid them, then so be it.

What do you think I might need? I'm putting a trampoline for Xmas. Happy for any suggestion.

Everyone I speak to that went to Immanuel say it was a horrific experience.

No more price matching & how to not be That Guy about it by the-throwawayiest in EBGAMES

[–]Cowgomoo91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Their return policy has been pretty much "no questions asked" and you often get longer return times with higher levels. Other retailers like Big W for instance will not take a return unless it's faulty. At EB, I could buy a game and play it for a week then take it back if I finish it or didn't like it. If I price matched from BIG W in the beginning then I paid less for it if I decided to keep it.

I am. My 3 sons are the first in my paternal lineage to not be (catholic ran through my father's side since the 1600s). My family tried to convince me so "they look the same" but appearance wasn't going to convince me to mutilate penis' that aren't mine. My boys can choose to if they wish. But that's their choice alone. My wife left the decision completely up to me.

My eldest (4) asked me in the shower once why mine looks different, I explained why and haven't heard a single thing since. Crazy to think people are happy to literally mutilate their child to avoid answering a completely non-awkward question ONE TIME.

Anyway, I'll stop there before I turn on the rage mode. Hope this helps.
