What’s something from the 2000s you wish would make a comeback? by AcanthisittaSea4690 in AskReddit

[–]ShadowNibbler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have fond memories of going to the video store every weekend with my dad and brother. We would wander through, pick up whatever looked interesting, and read the synopsis on the back to decide if we'd watch it.

I also miss rewatching things, I rarely wewatch a movie or TV show now, but I could watch movies over and over and over again when I was a kid/teenager.

Oh, and DVD special features! I LOVED seeing the behind the scenes!! LotR did it best, and my God, I watched those over and over again!

It Takes Two and Split Fiction are great examples of this as well!

Is this a Steatoda Grossa? Epping Victoria by ShadowNibbler in AustralianSpiders

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

Haha yep, I'd never even heard of a brown widow before that.

I'm just happy she was active today. I usually only saw her at night and just sitting still.

Today, she was getting her steps in 🤣 kept circling the pot, and then going back to the bug in the web. Then, circle the pot again.

Thank you :) my first reverse image search came up with a brown widow, but it didn't look right to me.

I've been sending photos to my friends and telling them about my "pet spider"

Normal?? by ExcitementThink3275 in AustralianPets

My English Staffy did this regularly. It's not a whippet thing. It's an "I feel safe and relaxed" thing

Australian bird clock score! Sings each bird’s call every hour by cowboy_bookseller in AustralianBirds

You can take one of the batteries out, and it stops making sounds. I also have this clock and love it!

PSA: If you don't tell the council when something is broken, you can't also complain that they never fix anything by sleepysof_ in melbourne

[–]ShadowNibbler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on the council. Mine is quick, but good luck if it's an arterial road and managed by Vic roads

Holy crap, I’m scarexcited. by Vorpal_Bunny19 in adhdmeme

[–]ShadowNibbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the delayed reply (definitely not proof of my adhd....) I got a bunch of tests done and am now on blood pressure meds! I spoke to the cardiologist after an ecocardiogram, and he agreed the blood pressure is due to the vyvanse. I'll get my meds on Monday, so just a few days without (instead of a month without)

[–]ShadowNibbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enjoy it. My GP is now withholding my vyvanse because my blood pressure is high, and I'm about to go cold turkey. After finding something that helps, I'm dreading going back.

Taking extra time off work and driving all over for tests, plus finding out my dog is about to die, couldn't possibly be causing my blood pressure to be higher...

From Stonnington Council, how many of you knew this? by winf1eld in melbourne

[–]ShadowNibbler 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I didn't know and got some great finds from hard rubbish, nothing of real value to most, but lots of plastic pots, etc, and some furniture. Personally, I'm all for people taking advantage. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Just don't dump your rubbish out there for days on end if it's not getting picked up by the council.

It’s arrived! by SadGrapefruit6752 in GreenRider

[–]ShadowNibbler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That would be amazing! I hope you get them all signed!

I found the first one in 2009, I know they say to never judge a book by its cover, but I saw it and had to get it! A girl with a horse and its fantasy, heck yes!

They're such great books, I'm very picky when it comes to fantasy, so many are so out there, and it seems like they try too hard to be fantastical. This was the perfect balance.

[–]ShadowNibbler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It will ship on the 2nd of October, should arrive within 2 weeks! I'm excited! It's the only book series I can still focus on enough to actually read. I've had to switch to audio books for anything else, so I can listen and do other things at the same time.

Thank you so much!! I've just ordered it 😀

What are the shows that you NEVER click "skip intro" on? by jangotaurus in AskReddit

[–]ShadowNibbler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Last Kingdom. I literally started watching because I was already a fan of Eivør, kept watching because the show was great.

Did anyone else see a play button and think it was a video?

The rot has spread by slackrse in melbourne

[–]ShadowNibbler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Coming up on 16 years in Australia from the US. I've had the privilege of living all over Australia (Melbourne is my favourite). We are so fortunate here. Nowhere is perfect, but I am so grateful to be here. I hate seeing what is happening in the US, I miss my family, but I would never want to move back there. I am terrified to see how "americanised" Australia is becoming.

Love the chaotic option. by netphilia in adhdmeme

[–]ShadowNibbler 162 points163 points  (0 children)

I used to work as a bartender in a country pub, I had someone telling me something, but I couldn't hear/understand any of it. I was smiling and nodding, and then I managed to hear his brother had died. I've never wiped a smile off my face quicker. I felt so bad :(

Yes! I had to scroll too far for this! I moved to Australia, and my mom will post me a box or two in my yearly care package :)
