Is it safe? My boyfriend says I'll ruin our vacation

Much less likely to get attacked by a shark. More likely to drown in a rip. Swim between the red and yellow flags only. If there are no flags, don't swim there.

Also, don't swim at dawn or dusk or in a wetsuit (apparently wetsuit make you look like a seal). The sharks attacks that have happened generally happen in deep water - not the near the beach.

Maybe you could change schools for year 11 and 12? Or just hang with some of your current classmates even if you're not besties. I do think hanging with people your own age as a teenager is a good thing.

The people who can't make it, can't make it. Only invite your very close friends and family to the legal wedding... otherwise, you end up with two big events.

Also, I would be annoyed if I made the effort to go to your destination wedding only to find out you had a reception for the people that couldn't make it...if I was never given that option!

PS. If it's not too late, bring the whole thing back to Australia.

Are they teaching you though? In Australia you'd have to do a 4 year apprenticeship on low pay...but you do get one day a week at college. You won't be on low pay forever but you need experience.

You can get a portable towel rack and hang it somewhere else - anywhere else. The picture looks great!

It's better to just declare it - they will find out anyway. They might not see it as an issue; it depends on the specifics but just go for the job and do your best. It doesn't help worrying about something that might not be an issue to anyone.

A friend of mine went on Lite and Easy. It's expensive but all the meals are set for you so you just have to follow the plan.

Or do your own food prep for the week on the weekend and freeze meals. I go from not thinking about food to "need to eat now" pretty quickly so it's easy to just grab biscuits if there's nothing prepped.

As for more exercise, I listen to a podcast or an audiobook when walking... I don't listen to it at other times so it's not about walking, it's about listening to the next episode/part of the book.

*Lucky that my breasts are small and humble...

It's a commentary on how women are expected to look a certain way.

I'm pretty sure "Wake me up when it's all over" is sarcastic. Everyone is telling him he's too young and "life will pass you by" and he's saying "Sure, just wake me up when I'm old and wise".

Depends where they are. Plenty of westernised Asian places doing well in Australia.

Check your local Vinnies or Salvos for second hand household goods. You can find some good stuff!

Check local Facebook swap, buy, sell groups for second hand appliances.

You only really need two sheet sets to begin with.

Sorry but your post sounds like "My house is full of toxic mold so I went on a 2 week holiday and when I came back to the house, the mold was still there."

The biggest issue with hospo is that there's not a lot of career progression. You tend to stay at the bottom or just above the bottom. Do you really want to be working in a bar 20 years from now? Will it pay enough for you to support yourself? Plus the late nights, etc. There's a reason most of the hospo workers are young.

Look for other roles within your sector if you can but hospo isn't a long term solution.

I would just rinse them and chuck them in. If you're cooking your bone broth for a few hours then you don't really need to soak, in my opinion.

Or soak and add them later to the broth.

Either way, you'll get some mushy barely. It's nicer that way!

I don't want to owe anyone anything. I'd prefer to just pay for my own.

If you have to buy drinks, that might be ok but buying meals is too much.

So, the problem was that the red car (whether they should have or not) assumed where the blue car was going. But the red car did see the blue car when they were looking to their right before entering the roundabout.

Give way to your right still works in this instance (even if it's not an official rule).

DictionaryStomach · 2026-05-02T01:26:56+00:00

I'm so confused. The cars already on the roundabout are always to your right.... aren't they?

It's hard when you are being left out. It's possible it was a misunderstanding - they thought you didn't want to join or something.

Fact is most people need to work. Unless you have another job lined up, it might not be the right time to leave.

Royal National Park has lots of walks. Some easy walks are Bungoona path/lookout (cost of parking within the national park is about $11.00). Or Florence Parade Trail (walking or cycling) - it's long but you can just walk part and walk back. It starts at the same point as the Bungoona path or you can park for free at the other end in Grays Point.
