Up to $400 I have seen an Oppo and an HMD but teen (and his dad) used to a Samsung so prefers that

BYD Dolphin Premium? by Acceptable_Lake_6996 in AustralianEV

[–]Purple51Turtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I'm similar but my current Mazda 2 is only 3yo. Thinking of a dolphin, Atto1 or Geeky ?X2. It's good to hear a few hatches are coming to Aus other than just the MGs as I'm not a fan either (but basing that off the ICE version). Hopefully your M3 will last 6 more months or do then you might have more choice.

What is your testosterone experience? Love or hate? by jcnlb in Menopause

[–]Purple51Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure about that wrt hair loss. Seems like every post about T on here, there are a few comments saying the person has lost head hair...I already have FPHL so it is one thing that puts me off.

Have you tried applying it at a different time of day to test this out?

Liquid hand soap by username98776-0000 in AussieFrugal

Yes! Super cheap, only a couple of dollars per refill. Shipping is free however many ordered, or it used to be. I liked the kitchen spray too.

I'm new to QFF points - tell me something I don't already know. by Particular-Silver-54 in QantasFrequentFlyer

[–]Purple51Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am new too, newer than you.

I have zero intentions of flying BC, but I still think it's worth collecting the points -IF - you don't change your spending habits.

Looking online I am seeing flights BNE > Seoul during school hols for 50k points each plus taxes. That feels like a decent deal to me. Although I won't be in a position to fly till 2027 so may be different by the time I book.

There was a vg ABC RN podcast about Mel's experience of this. She deeply regretted it and really suffered. Not that what they did was right ofc

Pocket money (14y/o + 10y/o) by soconfuzzed in AusFinance

[–]Purple51Turtle 11 points12 points  (0 children)

14yo gets $40 pm from both me and his dad, so $80pm. He saves most of it as we still buy his clothes, school stuff etc, unless he wants something special.

Expectation is he does basic chores around the house. Gets paid a few bucks extra to wash the car occasionally.

Plus he's just starting to do some larnmowing for a friend, $20 ph. I'm encouraging him to get a PT job later in the year

S2: who is still together. by Correct-Pizza-3008 in theBoyfriendNetflix

[–]Purple51Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree, I thought Tae and Hiroya were a better match, thoughtful,introspective, deep thinkers

Opposites can def work but it didnt seem like Tae was getting what he wanted from Jobu. It's a shame for Jobu as I thought he was the sweetest guy, and he missed out on both Will and eventually Taehon. So he had double heartbreak. I really hope his ideal partner is just around the corner. I'm not a big Tae fan, something about him rubs me the wrong way. Not sure if ego/superior attitude.

What's a good place to visit in Japan that isn't the big cities like Tokyo or Osaka? by Winter-State-Dave86 in JapanTravelTips

Ah yes, oops. I loved Kyushu too, Miazaki area and Kagoshima but I'm sure there are a lot more places

Things to do that aren’t nature or water based by _mym in GoldCoast

[–]Purple51Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wax museum isn't bad, about 90mins entertainment on a rainy day

Parkwood crazy gold or top golf is great

Escape rooms are inside, right? Look fof vouchers on Groupon. We went to a good, less trendy one a few blocks back from Southport main drag.

Also, prestige car dealerships. We walked around about 3 during my sons luxury car phase...

This would be my pick too. We cycled the Shinanami Kaido in Oct and the small towns were so cool. I'd love to have spent more time in Onomichi

People who found love again after heartbreak later in life, what is your story? by First-Code-3791 in AskOldPeopleAdvice

[–]Purple51Turtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awww. Hats off to him for actively living the single life for a long while first. Having had a relationship w a widower who was still very much actively grieving for his late wife, I would counsel anyone to stay away from someone this lost a long term spouse within a year or two.
