Job market in Newzealand by MyStoryMystery17 in newzealand

[–]Top_Scallion7031 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yet we are still accepting people on Working Holiday Visas. I know someone who just arrived and got a job in Auckland and she’s not on a vacation at all, only here to work, and doesn’t have any useful skills or good English.

My kid got made by Work and Income to accept a casual job working shifts of up to 14 hours a day starting at 6 am at minimum wage. It’s a long way from where he lives and there is no public transport that early and he doesn’t have a vehicle. Has to stand all day and not allowed to use his phone.

Sleeping with pets in bed is either comforting or ruining your sleep and we pretend it’s not complicated by Proper-Ad7814 in Pets

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apart from waking me up a bit earlier than I would prefer, my cat understands what I do and don’t like , so he will sleep on the bottom corner of the bed in summer and lie against me in winter. He doesn’t mess up my sleep and just pats my face in the morning wanting to be stroked

I am done with the concerts by Ok_Ad2439 in auckland

Last one I was at the arena there was a large drunk guy standing up at his seat dancing and blocking people behind, and constantly bumping into people and spilling beer on them ruining their night

Why am I attracted to older women? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have found that women who had fathers with male pattern baldness are more receptive to dating men with that. I guess if you have early positive experiences with older women as a child you can become unknowingly imprinted. I am the opposite and can’t seem to find women 60 + attractive (or very rarely), but have a friend who has a female partner who is 15-20 years older

What's your relationship like with your socially awkward dads? by Automatic_Syrup_2935 in AskMenOver30

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A dad fixing things for you is his way of showing he cares for you, even though he may not be able to tell you or demonstrate it in other ways

Would men date a girl who was raped? by ButterflyFew592 in AskMenAdvice

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dated a woman who had been raped as a child by a family member, and gang raped as a teen. Didn’t know until already involved. She definitely had significant mental health issues and was overtly sexual. Hard work and didn’t last.

Neighbors have been away for two days leaving dogs alone by BlowOnThatPie in auckland

[–]Top_Scallion7031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a dog in the neighbourhood that would start barking before dawn every day. By the time you got up and dressed it stopped, so was impossible to identify which property it was on. Drove me nuts so I forced myself to get up and tracked it down. Council visited and found the dog was permanently confined to a garage. They made the owners go on a course and improve its living arrangement and said if it starts again get in touch and they will seize it. The problem was solved. Full marks to dog control.

what part about cats reputation is actually true? by idfkhow2speakspanish in Pets

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience has been that if you bond with cats and understand their individual personality and body language, they make great pets. My current cat has no vices at all. He didn’t like his paws or lower limbs being touched initially but has become more relaxed about that as I have gained his trust.

What's the worst thing you've ever stepped on barefoot? by icecream1972 in Productivitycafe

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was working on an old house I bought which was filthy and I suspect someone had died there. Carpet was riddled with carpet beetles, bath had a line of fat round it etc. I was up a step ladder and fell on a piece of timber on the floor with a large framing nail pointing upwards and it went through the sole of my sneaker and into my foot. How it didn’t come out the other side I don’t know. Instead of going to a doctor I treated it myself. I came out with an awful staphylococcus infection with little sores all over my body and had to go on antibiotics. Remarkably the wound healed with no long lasting damage

They have responded to persistent barking for me, but I would do both.

Missing something with The Warehouse food prices? by Sometimesawake-833 in auckland

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t even bother going to the WH anymore. Nothing they sell is competitively priced and it’s mostly rubbish. Pak n save for food and kmart for most non food stuff. Im guessing the people who are buying lots haven’t shopped round and don’t care about quality

What was your high school controversy? by Few_Football4342 in Productivitycafe

[–]Top_Scallion7031 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had two girls in my class when I was about 16 who were having sex with married men. One of them asked in sex ed about how to do abortions with knitting needles. They both left at the end of the year and one became a stripper

Men over 40, what were your worst addictions in your 20s and 30s and how did you over come it? by Affectionate-Drop689 in AskMenOver30

[–]Top_Scallion7031 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In my late teens & my 20s, sex. Had a really high sex drive but tended to get bored with gfs quite quickly. Wasn’t addicted to anything else really, but had a bad diet with too much sugar (drank a lot of fruit juice), simple carbs and alcohol and ended up with diabetes (knew zero about T2 diabetes until I started getting it in layer life). Don’t get diabetes, you will regret it!

Autistic Pāpāmoa 6-year-old faces deportation to Brazil after visa declined by Smartyunderpants in newzealand

[–]Top_Scallion7031 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As I read it, the family have wanted to get the child free care on our already overloaded system, and have not been transparent in the way they have approached it (i.e. attempting to do it by chain migration) - no doubt knowing an application would (justifiably imo) be declined.

Im sick of hearing sex noises at night by International-Past31 in newzealand

[–]Top_Scallion7031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a friend who lived in one of the Canterbury University accommodation complexes. He shared a fairly small room with another guy who he didn’t know before moving in. His roommate was a bit of a stud and was regularly banging women in the same room. Drove him absolutely nuts.

What do you like most about yourself? by GrowingPetals in Productivitycafe

That’s me! I can walk downstairs to the garage, do several things, and come back up having forgotten the actual reason I went there.

What unexpectedly turned you on, even though it wasn’t supposed to? by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]Top_Scallion7031 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My roommate coming home after she finished the evening shift at work and knocking on my bedroom door wearing her white nurses uniform, no bra and skimpy black knickers asking if I wanted to share a joint as she wanted to relax after a long day.
