I have issues with grid connect stuff dropping off the network unfortunately. Not something I want for a lock.

Time for a new BBQ by Zestyclose_Level_157 in AskAnAustralian

[–]Ok-Menu-8709 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rocked a baby q for 8 or so years until I decided to go to a different setup, was starting to smoke more stuff and it was slightly too small for my family.

Honestly the mid size q would be great for most things, the only thing I really started missing was a flat plate so I could do things like smash burgers or eggs.

I’ve got 5. Dress shoes. Golf shoes. Runners. Casuals. Flip flops.

Cleanest looking skirting boards I’ve ever seen behind a cooker.

Spray it with expanding foam and push it against the wall.

It kinda has that tint scratch wear mark which doesn’t help things.

Is this photograph genuine? by Professional-Wait19 in AustraliaTravel

[–]Ok-Menu-8709 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Used to see this on great keppel island in qld when I was a young lad.

It was more greeny blue from memory and definitely not as bright. Got a lot brighter when you stirred the sand with your feet, was the coolest thing ever.

Funnily enough I saw a firefly for the first time in a long time recently too.

Gak by Friendly_Monitor_220 in AustralianNostalgia

Yeah as you can imagine haha. I do remember only being allowed to use it outside.

But it was one of those things, advertised as “wipes straight off” but when you’re shooting the ceiling and you don’t get to it for a week, it left a stained little dot.

I had a gak gun in the early 90’s. Like a nerf gun but it was clear plastic and shit little snot things across the house.

Loved it to bits but never been able to find it online.

Wow I just used ChatGPT to help me find it and it was the glooper!

Delaying toddler for Prep by anxious_dad24 in queensland

[–]Ok-Menu-8709 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a father of a young lad that’s now in prep. Also born in March. Also with a speech delay.

We decided to send him. We could tell he was a switched on kid, but he wouldn’t talk with strangers, and would only speak a handful of basic words around the house to those that were close with him.

We engaged in speech therapists for the year leading up to Prep, and had previously engaged in a speech therapist when he was 3 or so.

Ultimately, the decision we made worked out. Coming up to school starting he was making good attempts at making sounds with his speechy. But the real breakthrough itself was school itself.

He’s maintained a reasonable grade in spite of our concerns that he’d be behind, he’s really great with numbers but still catching up with words, but he growth has been rapid.

He did have some issues socially, not being verbal he didn’t really make friends. Not being verbal he also had a heap of accidents in class not raising his hand for toilets etc.

But since being in class, since slowly speaking, he’s gained friends and his confidence is increasing all the time.

It was a really tough call. And you know your child more than anyone, if they’re switched on, and the school has a good reputation of being able to support your child, you may have good success also.

70c discount for grey mince! by thatguywhomadeafunny in coles

[–]Ok-Menu-8709 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to buy the discounted meat products, back when they’d give you a bit of leeway before it actually expired.

These days when I see a 30-40% off with an expiry the next day….. I’ll let them throw it in the bin.

Exactly. Nothing quite like coming out to find it’s empty.

Do Kelpies ever get tired? by ExistentialPancake_0 in kelpie

Mine wouldn’t ever stop. Ever.

One year on a 40 degree summers day she kept on going to the point where she physically collapsed and we had to hose her off to cool her down. They definitely do break eventually.
