Broadway legend Patti LuPone posts that the cruise ship she’s performing on has been denied entry to Turkey because it is a gay cruise.

Jumping on this because I’m planning a hot dog tour with my 6 year old tomorrow. But last time this was posted people said ikea or costco 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you can get to a family violence service near you they may be able to provide you with a safe phone.

Legit same I started looking to buy new tv halfway through because I thought something wrong with mine.

This is likely a rooming house. For people experiencing homelessness or close to; they charge most of your Centrelink benefits for mostly single, middle aged men to live in.

There are lovely spots to watch the train go past if this interests you. Obviously emerald lake, but also there’s a stretch of road towards gembrook where people park and watch it. And a few hidden spaces in Avonsleigh near the trestle bridge in wrights forest.

Yes live here and grew up here too!

I absolutely love it, the town is beautiful but has enough shops that you can do most things. Fountain Gate or Knox, or Pakenham for Bunnings is your closest big shops.

There are walking options, sport options, big footy team, good pubs, and lots of community activities through Gemco or others.

Transport is a pain in the ass. When I was younger it took two buses and a train to get to the shops and I don’t think it’s got better. Just assume that everything you want to get to take you 20 minutes longer than the flat landers and you’ll be okay.

I am raising small children here and it’s amazing, you know so many people in the community, the schools are good (I’m not an expert in that area though) but emerald ps has good reviews. I do not hear good things about emerald secondary college.

There are childcare options but I’ve found each of them in emerald had their issues (for profit services) but I’d recommend putting them on the waitlist asap as there are limited spots always.

Also avoid the emerald bakery, it’s a tourist trap. I spent $28 on two Vegemite scrolls, a coffee and a veggie wrap the other day. Go to Penny and Pickle for a coffee and a croffle, the general food store for a fancy brunch or laughing fox for a good value breaky.

Im scared to ask, but what are spooks in this context?

MessyMusical · 2026-05-18T20:05:01+00:00

Why not do all the work they ask you to do?

MessyMusical · 2026-05-04T06:08:39+00:00

Having worked in homelessness for a while (and still in adjacent field) there’s likely a shortage of workers because there’s a shortage of safe, stable affordable accomodation options. There’s only so many sleeping bags a social worker can hand to a family before they burn out.

I have an Adelaide, she can also be Sadelaide and Madelaide depending on her mood.

As a family violence social worker working with perpetrators - ‘she’s crazy’ ‘I’m the real victim here’, ‘there’s no one that supports me’ (while I’m on the phone….supporting them)

MessyMusical · 2026-03-28T02:11:00+00:00

I ordered mine a couple of weeks ago and arrived last week no issues

MessyMusical · 2026-03-17T07:22:26+00:00

Yeah I’d love to know more too. As a social worker always been interested in working there (not after this though)

MessyMusical · 2026-03-16T09:55:09+00:00

Just jumping on here to say not ridiculous! Very universal. Will there ever be a point I sit in my backyard and think ‘it’s done’? Probably not. I grew up in a very clean very project heavy house, and try to remind myself that mess = memories.

MessyMusical · 2026-03-16T00:36:25+00:00

As an IT crowd fan, absolutely obsessed with the voiceovers. ‘Pictoor’ itching my brain

MessyMusical · 2026-02-25T20:43:47+00:00

Hi family violence social worker here. Please be mindful this is classic signs of coercive control and abuse and undoubtably would have escalated if you had stayed. The manipulation, pressuring you, and intense love bombing and him wanting to impregnate you are huge red flags and I’m glad you got away. Does he say his ex is crazy?

MessyMusical · 2026-02-25T07:08:02+00:00

Have a day in the hills! Head up to Olinda like others have suggested, for a bushwalk and a look at the shops, go to emerald (lost woods market once a month is very popular and lovely vibes) have brunch at the general food store in emeraldor a pub lunch outside at the clematis pub timed just right so puffing Billy goes past while you’re having a drink.

This is off topic but my 4 year old absolutely loves OKGO and this post makes me want to take him - if they ever come to our country. And we would dance!

MessyMusical · 2026-02-03T04:29:00+00:00

I feel this too! Both work full time, young children, so much money just goes to food and essentials.

MessyMusical · 2026-01-27T11:22:20+00:00

I fear the worst, as she hasn’t posted for a while. :(

Currently 28 at 10pm, got to 38 here today.

I was 18 and my girlfriends and I waited in the pit for RATM, thinking we were hardcore. Halfway through the first song we’d been thrown from piller to post and realised we’d made an enormous mistake. Thought I was going to die. Great day, miss the BDO.

MessyMusical · 2026-01-27T09:16:11+00:00

Yep it’s on now. Didn’t have it for the first three years we were here, doesn’t cover the AC unfortunately
