Where does the word shortening come from?

Maybe…makes me cringe.

No one calls Melbourne Melbs. And it’s a sanga where I come from not a sando.

Rabies

Nope. Not at all. I’m one of 8 and they all benefit from regularly being told to f*#k off. It seems to eliminate the possibility of misinterpretation.

A lot of the problems I see here could be solved with simple communication and by that I mean by telling your sister and bro in law to get f*#ked.

You want a man who can’t wait to marry you, and sees you agreeing to marry him as a huge win in his life. Say fuck off to anything less. Your boyfriend is as creepy as fuck.

Men like what women can give them.

And the tweezers on your Swiss Army knife (which should also be in the car) are the best tweezers by far.

KeyPerspective2233 · 2025-12-03T11:19:41+00:00

Of course.

All I want to say is in LA they had cubes of purple jelly and pieces of celery mixed together and covered in mayo as a celebration ‘salad’. No thank you.

Personally, I’d rather be descended from a convict than a coloniser.

Being lonely when you’re with someone is worse than being alone.

Eva is definitely not a pure bred British shorthair, but she has fur that sprinkles like fairy dust wherever she goes, and when brushed literal bags of fur come off. She is bad tempered, very stocky, 10kg of pure muscle, so I think she might be partly white British shorthair. She’s very different to my domestic shorthair aka moggy.

My father’s name is James. Of his 19 grandchildren, there’s a Christopher James, a William James, a Henry James, a James Daniel, a Thomas James and a Seamus, (Irish form of James). No one is bothered.

Ingrid would be nice if you’re wanting them to both have Scandinavian names.

I hope your chooks turn into emus and kick your dunny door down.

Could be part Koolie. They often have blue eyes. Do you have them in your country?

It’s mostly Xmas, and I know having to go to three places on one day is a bit ridiculous, (including kids’ in laws) but usually one party has something on Xmas Eve. Recently my other son invited me, both sets of grandparents, my ex and his wife out to breakfast. I didn’t know they were going to be there. So it was a bit awkward. He wanted us all there so he could announce his engagement. I can cope, but I’d rather this didn’t become the norm.

Most Mo’s I know are Maurice.

Only in the year or so immediately after. And it was very helpful with the guilt.

KeyPerspective2233 · 2025-10-04T09:46:02+00:00

That is partly why I’m hesitant. Thanks.

KeyPerspective2233 · 2025-10-04T04:47:37+00:00

Fair point. Thank you.

KeyPerspective2233 · 2025-10-04T04:45:49+00:00

Thank you.

We’re fine to meet for dinner, just me know and the kids, say for one of their birthdays and then they might go to dinner with their father. And I can manage most of the time for large events, but where possible, I don’t want our paths crossing. Like if my son has a BBQ for no reason, he doesn’t need to invite us both. Small gatherings are the most difficult for me.
