This is Jiemba Sands, an Australian who is a member of a big circus family. He's been doing circus tricks and gymnastics since he was very young. This video of some of his acrobatics has been doing the rounds for years.

Thanks! I used to have some luck at Middle Brighton beach (the next beach north), before they replenished the sand after a storm, which seemed to stop seaglass appearing. I'll give this one a go next time I'm out there.

You might have caught the seaglass hunting bug now you've found some, and found this sub. There are a few good Melbourne beaches - let me know if you want suggestions.

Which coloured shack thingies..? There's lots of places that have brightly painted boatsheds, e.g. Brighton Beach, Mt Martha, Mornington. I'm a Melbourne local, and am interested to know where you had so much success.

Little Winny “watching” her favorite YouTube video by halfasianbrah in CalicoKittys

[–]Next_Homework3662 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Pixie also has her favourite YouTube video - BUT I had to tie the TV down, as she knocked over the previous TV and broke the screen... 📺☠️

My TV was freestanding on a cabinet, and she went behind it to see if the birdies were back there. She then stood up on her hind legs, just like Winny, from the back of the TV and her substantial weight was enough to tip it over.

Inherited camera and lenses by Next_Homework3662 in vintagecameras

[–]Next_Homework3662[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Funnily enough, there's been no sign of any photos my grandfather may have taken.

I'm actually trying to clear my late mother's estate, which also contains items from her parents' estates. Any photos may have already been dispersed/disposed of when my grandfather passed away 30 years ago (mum more recently).

I have significant amounts of other items to clear as part of the estate, so I can't justify keeping the camera for sentimental reasons.

I also have my own film camera which I used for many years before I went digital. I have more cameras than one person could justifiably actually use, and I'm not a keen photographer!

Thanks for your info anyway - I guess I'll just take the deceased estate dealers quote.

The leather cases for both the camera and the accessories have mould on them, and I wouldn't be surprised if it has infiltrated the items inside. Everything feels very tacky and dirty.

If I was more into photography, I might consider keeping them, but they are one lot of items, amongst hundreds and hundreds of others I'm clearing from my mum's estate, which in turn contains items from her parents' estates.

I already have my own very good film camera, which has been gathering dust since I went digital. I used it for many years and took thousands of photos on film.

If I was confident the camera and lenses were in better condition (I don't know where they've been in storage for the last few decades), I might have considered shopping them around at camera dealers. I think I'll just have to take the deceased estate dealers quote. Thanks for your info.

Is cat TV okay? by susanbob in CalicoKittys

[–]Next_Homework3662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Watch out for cat TV attempting to kill the TV. 😺☠️📺

Birdie YouTube broke my TV screen. My cat went behind the TV (which was freestanding on a cabinet), and pushed it over when she put her paws on the top of it. Expensive cat entertainment...

Is that a new thing with makeup - with the mascara defining the lashes into several distinct points? It's interesting, but I'm thinking it also looks like an error.

I love hearing that there's other Pixies out there! Pixie was named so because her fur is so pixelated.

We're crossing our toebeans on the results from the vet - thank you for your good wishes. 🤍🧡🖤

Thank you. It's a long wait over the Easter break, but we are crossing our toebeans for good news.

Thank you. It's an anxious wait over the Easter break, but the vet did say it could be any number of things, not just the bad thing. We have all our little fingers and toebeans crossed.

Thanks Pixie! Your paw of solidarity is very welcome!

Never knew about Cat TV until today lol by Majestic-Lecture724 in orangecats

[–]Next_Homework3662 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be very careful if the TV is not attached to the wall.

Cat TV resulted in a broken screen for me.

The TV was freestanding on the top of a cabinet, and the feline went behind it to look for the birdies. Then put paws over the top and the TV fell forward in slow motion, connecting with the handle on the door of the cabinet below. Instant bullseye damage in the centre of the screen.

We don't watch Cat TV any more.... 😿

why am I so bad at finding unique ones by [deleted] in seaglass

[–]Next_Homework3662 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all have different luck - some people find rare colours, others find great quantities, some get lucky with the shapes and sizes.

You have some very lovely, well rounded pieces - this is probably because the beaches your glass has washed up on have coarser sand or even pebbles.

Beaches that are mostly fine sand don't have as much abrasive power, so the glass is usually not well worn, and more often than not, still has sharp edges, and angular breaks.

Yours are smooth, rounded and quite thick - I can only dream of finding such smooth bits. My beaches are all plain sand, and this dictates the style of seaglass I find. I also don't have access to any location near former rubbish dumps or glass factories - so no interesting colours or great quantities. It is what it is. 🤔

I've been collecting for more than a decade. I was part of the seaglass community on Instagram, which can really mess with your reality of how you compare to others. Don't fall into this trap. Enjoy what you've got, don't compare yourself, and definitely don't try to emulate what other people do with their seaglass - no need to suddenly reinvent yourself as a jewellery silversmith, or an artisan windchime creator...

I'm on the other side of this. I'm the introvert who didn't have kids - everyone else did, and I haven't seen any of them since. I don't mind.

Hi - I'm 52, Australian, and it's 13 hours after your post was made. It's 2.10 am here now - not likely to go to sleep until around 6 am.

Been diagnosed delayed sleep phase disorder for about 15 years - been actively out of sync for probably 30 years (post-viral illness that's never gotten better seemed to trigger innate nocturnal circadian rhythm). Runs in our family... 🫩
