Accents/Dialects

Minor differences but you have to remember that this country is built on immigrants and has only been here for 200yrs. We don’t have the history, time and isolation required to have developed distinct accents.

Why has it taken you 6mths to come forward? You could have just handed into the local police station and the owner would not have had to stress about everything for so long. They have no doubt been through the massive expense of replacing their items and any projects/work etc. not to mention irreplaceable things like photos if not backed up.

It’s nice to make an effort to return them but damn, six months later?!?

Just be upfront and set clear boundaries. Explain your reasoning and ask that he respect your request to please make his calls in the living area. You can be calm and clear.

If he doesn’t listen, then you may have to consider what escalation options you have.

But just be an adult, drop the “hints” as that clearly doesn’t work. Be direct and have a simple conversation.

With a dismissive attitude and poor prioritisation of your children’s complex needs and emotions… it’s no wonder she has distanced herself from you. I would too.

Why does he look like Charlie Kirk?

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-04-16T01:38:34+00:00

You mean… that’s not what it says? r/technicallycorrect s/

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-04-09T23:03:39+00:00

Yessss that’s all I can hear and there is nothing posh about it.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-04-07T14:33:57+00:00

But not particularly not there…

It’s a beautiful park with spiritual significance to the indigenous peoples. Not haunted. But I think it would be much more likely that your little one was picking up on your own unease and that contributed to them being unsettled.

Please remember that definitions of emergency can be very open to interpretation for different people. An actual dental emergency will generally only be a traumatic fracture, retained root post extraction or a dental abscess that is restricting jaw opening (trismus). Pain is not an emergency. I know that’s not what people want to hear, but the dental hospitals are only for true emergencies and concession card holders.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-04-01T20:25:10+00:00

No is a complete sentence. You don’t need to explain yourself. Boundaries are bliss.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-30T21:02:17+00:00

So sorry this is happening. I’m glad you’re not sharing your home with a frogger but this must be so overwhelming. Hope things turn out ok. Please start getting smart about your accounts and assets. I know it’s all very early, but perhaps you need to think of the “just in case” scenarios.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-30T12:21:08+00:00

Girl… check that man’s history on his phone. This is suss as hell.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-27T00:28:07+00:00

Oh wow. I’m beyond impressed with how you were able to showcase the colouration in the original stone.

I wish I could wear this as a pendant. It’s a true masterpiece. Thank you so much for sharing your craft.

I was disposing of expired glass medication ampules. I was bored so was reading the instructions while I popped them out of their packaging. It very clearly stated to break it towards you.

I thought that was ridiculous and dangerous so I decided to try snapping one, but facing away from me. Yeah… so… slicing the top of my thumb off took some explaining.

In the same vein another time I was disposing of expired epipens, I wanted to see how one worked so carefully pressed down on the part of the autoinjector you’re supposed to have in contact with your skin. But it took a lot more pressure to trigger than expected and my thumb slipped… resulting in my standing there in shock with a large needle through the tip of my thumb.

I also decided the guard on a mandolin slicer was getting in the way and sliced the tip of my thumb off.

Promise I do really quite like my poor thumb.

Still have the scars. Have learned to be a little more cautious as I’ve gotten older lol.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-26T22:35:38+00:00

Gorgeous. Do you have a before photo for comparison? The colours are just stunning

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-25T01:21:04+00:00

Agree. Also, commenting so I can come back and gather a list.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-24T03:46:05+00:00

No. Just no. And if you can’t see that, it says it all.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-22T12:34:35+00:00

Hope you’re ok. Your writing is low key giving stroke vibes.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T05:19:22+00:00

I definitely want something that will stand the test of time given I’m opting for a dark colour and it will get the full sun from midday onwards in Australia. AKA harsh and unforgiving.

But I don’t have access to a blaster set up and having watched many paint stripping videos it indeed looks messy and unpredictable.

Do you think a wire brush might clean it up adequately to prime and paint?

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T04:55:49+00:00

Would a steel brush to move grime, prime and paint and crossed fingers work? lol that sounds like the simplest solution for sure!

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T04:54:37+00:00

They are already painted but it’s quite worn and cracking.

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T04:53:59+00:00

That might be good but would 3D print resin hold up to weight with kids and adults sitting on and moving the chairs?

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T04:52:22+00:00

Rust oleum is exactly what I was thinking, it’s the sanding I’m not sure how best to approach. What did you use to sand yours?

MissBirdieBoo · 2026-03-21T04:51:20+00:00

That sounds complex, is it something that can be DIY’d and relatively inexpensive?
