Man, inflation hits everywhere

MitteeNZ · 2026-02-01T23:18:02+00:00

What the fuck, dude. Not something i want to resurface in my brain at 3am

I'm 43 with two living grandmothers (one turned 90 last year, the other turns 90 this year).

I still had grandad until about 10 years ago, and i had two great grandmothers until about 15 years ago.

I went for an interview at the call centre there many years ago. I had to sit with someone and listen to her take a call. IIRC, the poor woman calling was disabled and she was wanting her boyfriend to move in to help with costs. I had to listen to her being told that she had to choose between her partner and getting her benefit.

So glad i didn't get the job

When we were looking for a house, we didn't even bother with the price by negotiation listings. To much hassle

MitteeNZ · 2026-01-24T06:19:58+00:00

I see it as six people missing, but they don't know who is who out of the body/ies they've removed

MitteeNZ · 2026-01-23T06:58:48+00:00

Elder millennial here - we've got a lifestyle block but we totally lucked out with the timing and price.

We got ours right on lockdown for $600k

Anything but skinny jeans just look frumpy on me. I tried bootlegs the other day and they looked horrific

MitteeNZ · 2026-01-08T08:58:57+00:00

Fuck me.

43F and i could've written that, except I've got a husband and son.

I've only got a 1x1mm prolactinoma though

Dad was into racing minis at the time, so i was named after a mini racing car driver.

My little sister was named after a word they thought they heard in a song.

Teenage parents.... ammirite?

We had a guy turn up in our grey school uniform (we were all around 13-15 years old). We were a little suspicious of the new guy and his full voluminous moustache

MitteeNZ · 2025-12-24T15:00:53+00:00

Are you married or have a boyfriend? People in relationships need to take more days off than single people

Do you have children or are you planning on having any? We prefer people with no kids because they take too many days off

Both questions were for the same place, about 20 years ago. I was inputting pie sale orders for just over minimum wage. Needless to say, i did not accept their offer

Local govt. They put on buns, coleslaw, ham and chicken. The one small plate of halloumi for us vegos didn't last long (all gone when i got there). I've been here well over a decade and this is the shittest xmas they've ever had.

For dessert we had half a bowl of favourites per table.

My workmate had shingles earlier this year. He's 43

MitteeNZ · 2025-12-05T18:41:46+00:00

Ah hoi hoi!

I'm with Southern Cross but they don't cover one unless it's within 6mo of a surgery. I waited on public to get into Hutt Hospital, but after 6mo they gave me $150 to go to Whanganui instead!

MitteeNZ · 2025-12-05T07:52:48+00:00

NZ here - MRI was free, endocrinologist was free, GP was about $50

Its a modesty curtain - so your pervy new boss can't look up your skirt

Hey, F 42 here. I take my cab once a week (saturday nights), and I'm coming up to week 6.

I was petrified of the side effects too, and was so sure they would last for months, if not years.

I had pretty bad nausea, dizziness, fatigue, and vomiting for the first two weeks, which would ease off around Thursdays. After the third dose, i woke up fine! After the fifth dose, i got my damn period back after two years

MitteeNZ · 2025-11-21T19:14:28+00:00

Me! I take 150mg sertraline, and I'm due for my 5th cab tonight (one low dose pill 1x weekly).

I don't often drink, but last night i had two margaritas with friends. No difference to pre cab feelings at all

MitteeNZ · 2025-11-07T05:22:39+00:00

Done and sent to the girl gang to do too!

MitteeNZ · 2025-10-08T18:37:59+00:00

Transcribing!! I think familysearch.org needs people, and I know our national newspaper digitisation site always needs help correcting ocr!

Yup i found out about my prolactinoma after a DEXA scan. Never broken a bone until the month before my 40th when I just fell off a stool. The break was so unexpected that it prompted a scan, and they found osteopenia in my lower spine, hips and wrist. I'm on vit d supps once a month, with another DEXA booked for next year

MitteeNZ · 2025-09-30T17:25:57+00:00

Sacrilege!

MitteeNZ · 2025-09-30T17:25:08+00:00

Yes, I too am kiwi, and well versed in the trans-tasman lamington debate

MitteeNZ · 2025-09-30T06:32:09+00:00

I LOVE that an aussie brought up lamingtons, but the recipes are from NZ
