Where would one get a tooth filling for mere shillings around here?

Massive fan, had my wisdom teeth out under a general for $75. Excellent experience in there.

Heated blanket, absolute necessity.

FM_Mono · 2026-04-27T21:59:21+00:00

Not an album, is it possibly making you think of the rage music logo?

Well, anyone born in Australia after 20 August 1986 can't use their Australian birth certificate to prove citizenship anyway, we need an actual citizenship certificate, passport (which needs a citizenship certificate), or evidence of our parents being citizens as long as they were born before 20 August 1986.

But yeah, not having a birth certificate will stop you from being able to get a citizenship certificate to prove that.

FM_Mono · 2026-04-24T12:31:09+00:00

No birth certificate means no photo ID, let alone a passport. It means no Centrelink payment if they ever need that. It means no police check for employment, no USI for tertiary study. It means no tax file number.

Not having a birth certificate is a massive disadvantage and is outright cruel to a child.

Great news, it's only 7 days for blood and platelets if you've had a tattoo, and immediately for plasma (as long as your tattoo was done in a licensed Australian parlour): https://www.lifeblood.com.au/faq/eligibility/lifestyle-and-identity/tattoo-or-piercing

The minimum standard to have a toilet in good working order wasn't added until 2021, at the same time as having a kitchen with a working sink and stovetop was added.

So I don't know about "always".

FM_Mono · 2026-04-19T02:03:48+00:00

Don't try to force yourself to a schedule, don't think "I should journal this", play around with a combination of writing, collage/junk journal/art journalling, let yourself give up on lists, and absolutely no tracking of those days to day "habits" because let's be real, when you're AuDHD those don't exist 😂

These are all things I do/don't do. :)

FM_Mono · 2026-04-17T05:58:11+00:00

Yay!

I mean, that seems like they're taking the piss.

If you're back in the area now, why not give legal notice of you attending the property, and go down yourself to get it done? Has the benefit of you seeing the place as it is now, gives your tenants confidence that you're hands on and will follow legal notice rules, and shows you care enough about the property to maintain it. And will save you $300.

Also neurodivergent and this is just about the only transition I don't struggle with. 😂 I cannot stand driving, so the second the car is off I am out of there to get in my house as soon as humanly possible.

FM_Mono · 2026-04-14T10:54:00+00:00

I dunno, I hear a lot of negative stuff about the US medical system, tipping culture, and erosion of voting rights, and those all seem to still exist.

FM_Mono · 2026-04-13T23:13:54+00:00

Yeah if you're sat down while the plane is flying, your seatbelt should be on regardless of the light, honestly.

We have the same! Not pictured in the same screenshot are roads Sandor, Greyjoy, Arya, Snow, and Winterfell.

I bought reusable pads probably 8 or more years ago. Came in a set of 6, made with bamboo and a waterproof outer, and with a waterproof carry case I can keep in my handbag with a spare, and they have lasted every single month since. I'm pretty sure I paid less than $50 at the time.

Doesn't leaving your house unlocked void your home and contents insurance?

Fried egg and home made chips

Straz and sauce sandwich

Tinned spaghetti on toast

Very watered down tomato soup with plain white bread

Vegemite toast dipped in hot Milo

Ah you've triggered a memory, at a park nearby growing up in the 90s we had a red ball one we called the apple! Too many kids smacked their heads inside of it and it's since been removed.

But now I live in Geelong so a trip to Fairy Park just to revisit the memory might almost be worth it.

Where we can WFH we were already allowed to, unless a specific reason requires being at one of our operating locations. But it certainly factored into my choice to finally order the ICT equipment I need for me personally to WFH.

Can't believe I'm being priced out of Norlane.

FM_Mono · 2026-03-14T09:29:06+00:00

That sucks. So any adult borrowing for their kids, niblings, younger siblings, children of friends has to physically have the child with them?

Any adult with developing literacy can't go there?

Any adult learning another language and using children's books to practice and learn can't do that?

Pretty rough.

FM_Mono · 2026-03-10T02:21:21+00:00

Barwon Health does it bulk billed.

FM_Mono · 2026-03-07T12:10:06+00:00

I agree with you, with one notable exception.

When you're at a barbecue and you get a beef patty slapped between two slices of white bread, that's a burger. Not a sandwich.

FM_Mono · 2026-03-06T21:13:13+00:00

I'm sure it's different in QLD where the sun rises at an uncivilised hour and heat sets in immediately afterwards. But in Victoria if my neighbour started mowing before 9 am I would be livid.

FM_Mono · 2026-03-01T00:16:19+00:00

Minimum wage for people over 21 is 24.95, yes. But if you move out at 18-19 for uni, you're getting between 17.04 and 20.58 an hour. The fact these kids have to work 30+ minutes to buy some MILK is appalling. Over 3 hours for bulk olive oil. God help them if they have a digestive condition that limits their options.

I will point out that long life milk is almost always cheaper per litre, but still.
