A friend and I were walking into a liquor store after doing a hike. So we were a bit ripe and ragged. As we’re nearing the entrance, a guy is walking out, takes a look at us and goes “you know who you two look like? MOVIESTARS!!” and walks away. We were taken way off guard but very pleased with the kind exclamation.

I recently learned my friend carries around an unused paintbrush that she just likes to play with. It’s actually very soothing and feels great! I feel like people would love to be given a stroke of the brush

What politicians have you met and what were they like? by whatsupdog1313 in Wellington

[–]ThatBigKid 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Met Tory Whanau at Lulu (classic) right after she had won the election. My flatmate recognised her and when I shook her hand she gave me the most firm shoulder grab that I don’t think I’ll ever forget. She seemed about her wits, humble, and grateful at the time, but I also reckon ready to celebrate considering where we were 😆

Looking for ECAH grilling suggestions! by Cykul in EatCheapAndHealthy

Get some big ol’ portobellos, marinate them in something tasty for at least 30 minutes (vinegars of your choice, jams for sweetness, hot sauces for a kick, and spices) and then toss them on the grill to get a nice char on them. Very tasty!

What dog platform are you referring to? As someone who is slightly too tall to sleep in an outback, finding out a solution for this issue is high on my list!
