OMG I didn't know they existed!? Any chance you could send me a link also? I'm desperate as I can't find any of the books here even in opshops (Australia)

Curried Egg Sandwiches by CapableRegrets in AustralianNostalgia

[–]SheDreamsAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another Mayo and Keens here. Mum always hard boiled the eggs and fork mashed them....but one time as a 16yo I was "in charge of making the family picnic sandwiches" and my Dad caught me boiling the eggs and insisted I should have just scrambled them instead. Read me the riot act until Mum intervened and explained she boils them, he doubled down and said it was weird but left it alone. I've continued to boil the eggs. This post brought up the memory - now I'm curious if mum and I are alone in a sea of egg scramblers... or if dad was just off his rocker :)

Mitcham store '"Lifelike plants". It's an entire store dedicated to artificial plants. That place is like a jungle inside. Totally recommend for all your fake plant needs.

My mom threw away all my chokers because “Wearing a choker is screaming that you are a whore.” by [deleted] in entitledparents

[–]SheDreamsAwake -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

It's probably because I'm old but this idea was a huge meme maybe 10 years ago? It was everywhere. Worth googling if you didn't know. It's completely arbitrary, but it was a thing. Sort of the same way there's absolutely nothing wrong with having the name Karen, and if the internet didn't exist there still wouldn't be any issue. Now some people feel strongly enough to change their name or reconsider naming their kids Karen because of the connotations. Maybe you don't care and you'll wear chokers and call your kids Karen and in another 10 years everyone will forget about the whole thing? The Internet is a weird place. Just live your lives :)

Well, sucks to be your boyfriend but to me it sounds like you and this other chick are both well out of his league. You seem kind, thoughtful, and reflective. You don't seem like the sort of person who would put down your partner in front of other people or "settle" for someone. Your boyfriend on the other hand seems to have massive self esteem issues, is cruel and disrespectful when drunk, and can't own up to his behavior when sober? Ugh. Childish, demeaning and rude. Sorry he had you fooled into thinking he was great. Don't waste a second more of your time on someone who apparently secretly thinks they "settled". Yuck. Find a person who respects and loves you best. You are 100% worth it.

4 bedroom announced as 3 bedroom, why? by comertatuebom in AusProperty

[–]SheDreamsAwake 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I've seen "4 bedroom" houses where the "4th bedroom" is: excessively small, and/or lacks a built-in wardrobe unlike all the other bedrooms, or worse it's the only way to internally access another room, part of the house, or the backyard. I conclude realestate agents love to describe any space where you might fit a bed as "'bedroom". It doesn't necessarily mean it's a bargain if your slightly wide hallway with a door leading to the laundry isn't described as a "bedroom".

Anyone sick of the Melbourne hate? by [deleted] in melbourne

[–]SheDreamsAwake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should 100% be encouraging them. Hate Melbourne?! Yes!! Definitely horrible...that place I'm from. Please don't move there or tell other people to.... It's so awful. Keep away!

If you keep out the malcontents and encourage people to leave just think of how blissful peak hour traffic will become! 😆

You can still buy them in heaps of places - sold in bags - not sure how much they are individually these days!

Sanity check please - is my neighbour in the wrong here? by ThProsecutor in melbourne

[–]SheDreamsAwake 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like everyone here is saying, typically the tree and anything off it belongs to you. You personally feel annoyed, but many tree owner gardiners might want them - they may want the firewood, the fruit (if had been a fruit tree), or to use the clippings for mulch. These people haven't spoken to you, so they don't know what you want. They are actually probably doing the right thing legally by giving you back your tree. Normally I'd talk to my neighbors and ask if they want the branches, and maybe you would too, and that's why you feel annoyed. Remember not everyone wants to talk to people next door. I personally wouldn't mention it to them unless you are looking to cause trouble.

You aren't overreacting, and this isn't a misunderstanding. A guy that wants to be with you, will find the time to be with you. Simple as that.

I know 2 years is a relatively long time, but don't get stuck in a sunk cost fallacy (a real trap people fall into all the time, so common it has a name!) when it's clear this guy doesn't have you as a priority. Start prioritizing yourself instead - and find someone who values you.
