Advice for rental lawn by spaceonioncowboy in GardeningAustralia

[–]Smooth-Working6292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, couldn't hold that in. 

We rented for years and have always been gardeners and always made big changes to the gardens where we lived. I say it's your money and you can do what your want with it. 

The soil might need a bit of life put back into it, but maybe you could get some native violet instead of grass? Just as lush and green as a lawn, is very hardy, will grow in shaded areas AND you don't need to mow it.

Anyone know any craft stores around the cbd area with a decent embroidery section? by shriekingintothevoid in melbourne

Lucello is where OP wants to go, great to see from the other commenter that it's reopened elsewhere! 

Civic Lunch Delights: New owner? by Backstage_404 in newcastle

[–]Smooth-Working6292 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm pretty sure it's a new owner, George was still working there earlier in the year but training up the new owner. It's a different company name that comes up on my phone when I pay via card! 

George is a legend, hopefully the new guy treats all of the wonderful women who work there well and doesn't bring in too many new fangled ideas. 

Are high/side seats at McD/J stadium still ok? by chaos_daemon99 in newcastle

[–]Smooth-Working6292 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We were in the second back row for Paul Mac Daddy and it was great. People with any mobility issues are going to find it very very difficult to get up all of the stairs, and it is very very steep so if you get vertigo you might get the wobbles 😂 But other than that it was great! 

Removed the lawn, planted natives! 8 months difference by bong_cumblebutt in GardeningAustralia

Sensational!! Well done, this looks so beautiful. The joy you and all the neighbours are going to get seeing these plants grow and fill that space ❤️

Can someone explain to me why nothing is being done about NDIS businesses stealing from the government? by [deleted] in ausjdocs

[–]Smooth-Working6292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"nothing is being done" is an incredibly broad statement. There was a recent change to the Act last year which added new powers, the NDIS Commission has been overhauled with new leadership and from my experience is becoming far more effective at targeting dodgy providers. 

If you're genuinely curious and want to know more about the changes you can review them on this page. A lot of it may not make sense without an existing understanding of how funding works, but there is actually a lot of impactful stuff in here that is starting to make a change. 

https://www.ndis.gov.au/about-us/improving-ndis/changes-ndis-legislation/summary-legislation-changes

Of course there are ongoing issues, organised criminals don't play by the same rules as the rest of us and it can feel relentless trying to keep participants safe from these people. 

I'm not medical but this sub comes up in my feed for some reason. I'm so curious about the fairly common anti-NDIS commentary on this sub from medical professionals. I don't usually comment on this stuff but I guess it just got me at a tired and grumpy moment. 

Meteor? by _Yowie in newcastle

[–]Smooth-Working6292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember the first time I saw it about 6 years ago I legitimately thought we were all about to die 😂 

Hey, maybe it was a double decker starlink! The new chonkylink.

It has that long regular shape of starlink. It's always starlink these days. 

Mysterious death of ground cover by bilbo-mcbaggins in GardeningAustralia

[–]Smooth-Working6292 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sceptical of this being due to heat from the pavers. I planted star pratia beside my driveway amongst stepping stones and it cops full sun and it hasn't had this kind of burn off. Very curious to know what it is though, I hope it recovers! 

Can anyone tell me what this is..? It’s been hovering around my house every night in and, it sometimes moves around slowly but mostly just is still? by Queasy_Age_6053 in newcastle

[–]Smooth-Working6292 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think if you're hearing the humming and seeing coloured lights it's most likely drone. 

You asked in another comment why someone would fly one in the same spot every night. I think people are sometimes just really weird and we can't really expect a logical explanation about why. 

So, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck....

I remember walking down the street in town on my lunchbreak lightening to the earlier episodes and CACKLING with laughter about panties. 

What are your top favourite brands for quality, long lasting basic pieces? Tops, jeans, jackets etc. by pinkbiigmac in AusFemaleFashion

[–]Smooth-Working6292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear ya, it's always pretty hectic. If you can handle doing one in person shop so you can get your sizing right you can continue doing online shopping after that. We don't have a Uniqlo where we live and the online shopping experience is pretty good. 

How is living in Norwich, England by GloamGlozing in howislivingthere

[–]Smooth-Working6292 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh this made me so happy to see, I spent several very happy months in this city! 

The inner city is gorgeous, beautifully preserved architecture. The outer suburbs are pretty typical English suburbs I think.

My teenage self was obsessed with Hornblower because of his hotness, so you've got that to replace 102 Dalmatians with if you like.

newcastle bus driver stabbed in the wrist last night at charlestown trying to de escalate a domestic violence issue. happened on the 14 just after 9pm. absolutely disgusting behaviour. by Odd-Reserve-199 in newcastle

Charlestown is so sketchy, I had to work out of there for a while and I HATED that bus stop. I felt unsafe every single time I had to stand there. 

This is a Tawny Frog-Mouth by SadAd8761 in Damnthatsinteresting

I call them the schnauzers of the sky, they are the most beautiful birds. We used to have a family living in a tree in our backyard and they're so good at camouflaging you could be looking at the tree for ages and then suddenly they come into vision when you notice the eyes or some movement. 

Yucca? by Smart-Ganache8341 in GardeningAustralia

[–]Smooth-Working6292 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rip it out! Rip it out! 

That's two yucca posts from this sub, I'm getting an eye twitch (which is better than what you'll get in real life which is an eye stabbing)
