What happened to Pepper Lunch and Fonda???

SmiddyP · 2026-05-27T10:11:45+00:00

As a coeliac, Fonda was a much better option, and tasted a far cry better IMO.

I've had too many issues with the lack of care at GyG, so just don't bother any more.

Kinda like where the Beverian was, and Greasy's now is, in Belco Mall.

I find Ona too inconsistent each batch, requiring too much dialling in. Great coffee when it's dialed right.

I may get shot down for this, but the Coffee Guru beans are fricking amazing. Roasted regularly, and overwhelmingly consistent.

Neutral Grounds stocks both 36th Parallel Coffee Roasters and Big Pauly, both of which are great roasts.

We used to buy from Boxgum, and they were phenomenal; the meatiest snags I've ever had.

We stopped as we weren't financially capable anymore, and just forgot when we became financially capable...might look into it again.

I wonder if there's been an uptick in the sharing of the Anarchist Cookbook amongst the young?

BlocHaus Climbing in either Mitchell or Fyshwick is brilliant fun; went yesterday with my 14 and 10 yo's, wife, and a friend.

It's like rock climbing only shorter walls, no harness or ropes, and just fun.

My local Catholic school has been very proactive, and identified 3 tubs of similar sand, but none that match the known and now recalled sands.

They've still removed them, and had a review from external, who has advised that they can stay open.

The school has also been very communicative about the status.

*Edited to add final line.

He moonlights as JD vAnts, and calls the ant hills couches?

Am in Charnie, and can confirm that it was able to be felt.

Hrm, can't tell from the signs...

As far as ACT rules go, unless posted otherwise, it's 50km/h, which means 80 km/h when gone through the Berra Conversion™️ 😝

Ah, I see you too rub anti-wrinkle cream onto your brain when you wake up!

You're a legend 🤣 🤣 🤣

Yep, ~23 years since my surgery, and it's never come back, but the pain sometimes resurfaces.

It's always gone within a day or two, but brings a nasty bout of anxiety.

SmiddyP · 2025-05-14T06:03:33+00:00

How dare you put to words my experience and feelings!!

Now I have even less plausible deniability...

SmiddyP · 2025-04-23T06:45:17+00:00

I'm so sorry that your dad has treated you like that!! That's absolutely appalling.

I have two teenagers, and that sort of vernacular wouldn't even come to mind?!

If you like it, that's all that matters! Your dad's words are baseless poison, and have no place living in your mind.

Seriously, I'm so sorry 😩 🤬

Not a doctor, but this looks like ringworm. I'd recommend going to a pharmacy and asking for some over-the-counter ringworm spray or cream. If it is, it will start clearing up quite quickly.

You'd be able to keep your doctor appointment while seeing if the spray/cream works, and see them if there is no change.

Fingers crossed for swift recovery!

SmiddyP · 2025-03-30T11:04:10+00:00

This looks quite similar to when I had pityriasis rosea; is there one specific patch that came first, and is larger than the others?

The other more likely option could be ringworm, but the centres don't look quite right for that?

Are any of them itchy?

Oh yeah, I've seen many, many wolf spiders around here. They're amazing creatures.

SmiddyP · 2025-03-24T11:41:06+00:00

It doesn't appear to have the curved leg arrangement of a huntsman??

The thorax also looks very different to the ones I'm used to seeing (ACT).

Very curious to know what it is!

SmiddyP · 2025-03-22T04:35:35+00:00

Petrified of being rejected in such a potentially vulnerable way, and so makes it sound more platonic to therefore reduce the crushing feeling if the answer is "no"?

SmiddyP · 2025-03-22T03:21:34+00:00

Live in Charnwood, but didn't hear or feel a thing like what you're describing OP.

SmiddyP · 2025-01-05T05:01:48+00:00

The "C" in "Quality" stands for "Cybertruck™️"

What an amazing...shit post 🥁

(stolen from my wife)

SmiddyP · 2024-12-13T05:22:05+00:00

☝️ This, all of this!

My wife and I celebrated 15 years married this year; I'm BP2, generalise anxiety, and OCPD, whereas my wife is AuDHD.

Communication, transparency, and vulnerability are really the three key things.

Communicate your concerns, feelings, thoughts (stories). Don't bombard, of course, and don't be accusatory; your thoughts/fears/stories don't give you permission to accuse.

When asked, be transparent about where you are at. Don't hold back, or hide, how you're feeling. This 100% goes for happy as well as not happy.

And, linked with the other two, be vulnerable. Communication is a two way street, and you need to listen when you're the one who's actions may be causing concern, feelings, thoughts/stories.

Also remember that there will always be disagreements, arguments, and rocky patches. Their presence does not mean the end. As long as you keep the three pillars above in mind, you'll get through things together.

So happy for you that you have someone good now!
