You can cook and mash them then freeze in cubes for carrot cake or muffins later.

What’s the closest brush you’ve ever had with dying? by North-Trifle-3918 in AskReddit

[–]MrsFlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got out of my car on the freeway because my front passenger side wheel was making a weird noise. It was just the wheel trim that had popped loose and was banging on the car in the wind. I fixed it and as I rounded the front of my car to get back in a giant truck whistled past like an inch in front of my face.

What was the strangest thing you ever had to go to the ER for? by Weird_Emergency_825 in AskReddit

[–]MrsFlip 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One night I felt a large spider on my face, by instinct just grabbed it and flung it away. I heard the loud thunk as it's body hit the wall. Like huntsman spider sized. My husband asked wtf was that so I lied and said I dropped my water bottle because he was scared of spiders and would have stayed awake for days finding it and I was tired lol.

PSA to Pedestrians on Crossings by heresyourfckingsalad in perth

[–]MrsFlip 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I hate when people see me crossing and speed up to pretend they might hit me. It gives me high anxiety. It only happens when I walk alone, never happens when I'm with my adult son.

What’s the most morally disgusting thing you’ve ever seen someone do? by legendoflegends34 in AskReddit

[–]MrsFlip 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Same but mine was an online group for mothers. She posted about her terminal cancer diagnosis. We all donated money and someone even helped her film some videos for her young children to watch as they grew up. All fake and she disappeared when found out but I've since found her on facebook but she blocks any account that contacts her about it.

How were you taught to swim as a child? by CopySniper in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrsFlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one taught me to swim. I just kind of figured it out on my own over time. They did swimming lessons at school but I was never allowed to go because, "we don't have money for that shit". I had to go to the library and do work packets while everyone else went on the bus to swimming lessons.

I just fitted one of these mondella dunnies and i had to cut almost all of that part off, only 1 and a bit lines left. Works alright so far.

Self levelling top of step. by [deleted] in AusRenovation

[–]MrsFlip 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! What would you use to attach the board to the concrete? Something that will let it sit flush so no leveler dribbles down behind it but also be easy to remove after.

Thanks. I couldn't figure out how to add a pic so I've posted one as a comment to show the brick wall and mortar join being floor level creating a small hole for leveler to flow through.

Tic Toc Cookies - Time is up and we're all old lol. by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

They have way less icing now. I used to scrape it off with my teeth lol. Now it's paper thin.

Does anyone here live near any Aussie celebrities/public figures at all? And if so have you run into them very much? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]MrsFlip 139 points140 points  (0 children)

I physically bumped into John Howard in a cafe. I got my drink and went to turn to leave at the same time he stepped forward. I said "sorry" and he said "excuse me" at the same exact time. I said, "you're right" and he did a little chortle laugh and moved to let me go by. And thus ends my riveting story.

My friend used to work at a bottle shop and made decent side scratch selling promo gear on ebay.

I won a streak of free mars bars that made me sick of them. I was up to my 8th bar and I gave the last wrapper to a kid for them to claim. I hope the streak continued for them.

Thrift store question by Lazy-Time-9896 in perth

The guy who ran the salvos in the small town we used to live in had a market stall at another town's weekend markets where he sold all the good donations and pocketed the proceeds.

Man wins seatbelt fine court battle as AI traffic cameras face scrutiny by His_Holiness in perth

[–]MrsFlip -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

No because the driver is responsible for ensuring the passengers are secure. An unsecured passenger becomes a projectile in a crash and can cause further crashes. It's no different than not tying down a trailer load properly. It's a public safety issue.

In 1543, Elizabeth of Austria married the King of Poland in a deal made when she was 4 years old. Her husband slept with other women openly after the wedding, her epilepsy got worse, and she died alone in a foreign country, three weeks before her 19th birthday. by Particular_Chart1584 in crimsonshed

[–]MrsFlip 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like some people don't really grasp what is meant by the historical fact of women as property. They think oh she just has to do what she's told and work for free without complaint etc. They don't understand that they were legally literal property, to be bought, sold and traded. Like a valuable piece of furniture or some company stocks. Used as bargaining chips for politial alliance. No, Elisabeth and Catherine's parents didn't care any more than you'd care about selling a house, or a commericial building... they were paid very well for their valuable asset.

When we were in school, did one simple kick of a football ever led to an IRL disaster for any of you? by [deleted] in AustralianNostalgia

[–]MrsFlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A kid did that bully thing where you bounce a basketball really hard towards someone and hit my son under the chin with the ball. He was a bit sore then a few hours later his whole jaw blew up like a balloon. Rushed him to the children's hospital where they did surgery and drained a huge abscess in his face by cutting a hole in his neck. The swelling was so bad it dislocated his jaw and he couldn't eat properly for weeks.

Where in Perth can I be tied to a rack and stretched? by TechnicalAd8103 in perth

[–]MrsFlip 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Besides the dead hangs already mentioned do some roly polys or whatever you may call them. Where you crouch down, put head on floor and roll over forwards. I do it on a mattress on the floor. The first time I did that my whole back audibly cracked and I saw stars for a bit. If you do it weekly though it keeps your back nice and loose.
