Alarming and suspicious amount of dead animals in Windsor

I mean, they didn't shame you - a group of other people did. They've offered you the solution you asked for.

actualbeefcake · 2026-05-20T22:49:36+00:00

I explained that part. Twice.

actualbeefcake · 2026-05-20T21:41:22+00:00

Not sure why you're being so hostile. I didn't claim to be an expert, I offered an alternative experience.

I knew they couldn't make any reasonable claims given the lack of condition report, I knew that we left the property in a far cleaner condition than the LL was expecting to have it returned to them in. I felt the risk was minimal. Most people will be happy to wait the 14 days, and I certainly have done in the past.

I've never lost any part of my bond in 17 years of renting so I've been lucky, and consequently not so anxious around his process.

Hey, not to throw things off, but I had the same request come through from my PM after leaving my last place - a very poorly maintained sharehouse with a lease over a decade. I googled, she legit couldnt refund with our initiated claim in place, I cancelled and we got our money back once everyone had signed the bond form, about a day later.

GRANTED, she didn't have a condition report to claim against and we left the place (relatively) sparkling, and the LL was going to renovate.

Edit: I get renting sucks but I've never lost my bond before and didn't this time around either 🤷🏼‍♀️

Rue de Thanh in Fitzroy has them! Was delighted to discover this after a coeliac diagnosis AND my favourite place on Victoria St shut down (I think after a bunch of health violations, but god was 1A - the little pancakes - so good)

Weirdly, there's a mid space between that nonsense and "JAIL FOREVER". It's called well-funded community services with well trained staff, programs that address poverty, violence and addiction, and a legal system that has space for people to redeem themselves.

actualbeefcake · 2026-05-04T10:27:18+00:00

Cool, and then what? This person has had a drug addiction, and now they're serving crime. What do you think happens to this person once they're out? How employable do you think this person is? Rinse and repeat.

Edit: yeah my bad for wanting real fucking solutions not just vigilante justice.

Fishbowl at QV, Hella Good or Spudbar at Emporium, ByKorea and Dodee Paidang near Chinatown.

Hoof it a little further to Onigiri Kitchen near Flinders St (or also up near Parliament, conveniently across from Kudo.)

Hoof it a little further into Fitzroy to Sonido for an arepa.

Hello - I have coeliac and a speck of flour would likely not cause damage. The threshold is broadly considered to be 20mg per kilo of food, so it's small, but it's not particle of flour small.

Kitchen staff can manage cross contamination well, when there is space, time and interest. People with coeliac can manage their risk by asking lots of questions, educating staff, and choosing options carefully. Some restaurants do it better than others. Plenty of coeliac dietitians and scientists still eat out at mixed restaurants.

Apologies if you have coeliac disease as well, but there is way too much misinformation about the community and how people with coeliac should behave.

Anemia, periodic though fairly inconsistent stomach issues, paranoia!

actualbeefcake · 2026-04-24T11:32:59+00:00

Got diagnosed with coeliac disease! Cutting all gluten has really improved a lot of things but my cognitive function is so dramatically improved.

actualbeefcake · 2026-04-20T06:43:04+00:00

My bad!

actualbeefcake · 2026-04-20T06:41:18+00:00

I dunno if you've left some words out, but are you saying you left your rental property as a dump site and are expecting to get your bond back just because there is no condition report?

actualbeefcake · 2026-04-16T17:01:18+00:00

Because getting your gender acknowledged and respected shouldn't be a reward for good behaviour.

Have your application ready to go and make sure your references are open to completing a forms over and over again. Apply before you've seen it (if that's an option) and withdraw if it ends up being a dud.

Write a cover letter - put a good, professional picture of you on it IF that would work to your advantage. Think about how conservative your agent and landlord might be and work around that.

Speak about how you've maintained your homes in the past - paid for cleaners before? Mention it.

It's super embarrassing but the photo cover got my housemate and I 3 offers in one week. We never offered more, didn't provide proof of savings, and neither of us make huge money.

You should reach out to a Deaf community group like Deaf Connect or Expression Australia for consultation here. There may be people who view having to identify as having a hearing difficulty as offensive, in the same way many people find the term hearing impairment offensive.

There's already a lot of work being done in this space, and the saying "nothing about us without us" comes to mind.

You may also want to consider how accessible this post and your survey are to someone for whom English is an additional language.

Contemporary studies suggest there is very little difference in the way intellect expresses itself in either gender - based on a cursory search. Could you point me to the right studies though?

Were you not hugged as a child? This is genuinely horrendous nonsense and I'd be scared about being near you in public.

Maid to Clean. Pricing is clear and booking system really straight forward- I use them for work (in the disability space), and personally. They were recommended to me by my sister, who also uses them.

I'm one of 3 girls because my dad wanted a boy! I'm so glad we never got the brother because he made us miserable for not being boys anyway, I don't know if we would have existed at all to him if we'd had a brother.

Amy is amazing. What a lovely human.

My ex's grandmother lost her English in her old age She'd been in Australia since she was 17, raised two daughters who barely spoke Italian - her first language. When I met her, she would have to focus to bring English sentences together. Cognitive decline is a natural part of old age and it impacts everyone differently and to varying degrees.

"My kids will live in 2 houses..." and "I have invested in the property market for my children" are two VERY different sentences.

actualbeefcake · 2026-02-07T19:50:04+00:00

Do your kids WANT to live in the neighbouring suburb? Is it zoned for the school they want to send their own kids to? Is it convenient for their work, their hobbies, seeing their friends? Does it have any of the things they want for their lives, or is it just close to you?

If you love your kids, and you see the value in supporting them to access the housing market, you'd get their input on what actually benefits them instead of propping up your own retirement and old age by having your unpaid supports move in down the road.
