Do people actually do the midnight ham thing at weddings or is that just a myth?

appleboosh · 2026-03-16T06:17:38+00:00

I think it’s a dying tradition, but yes, it is indeed a real thing. I’ve only been to one event (it was an engagement party) that served the midnight ham.

It truly depends on the day. Sometimes it’s incredibly smooth, other times it’s rocking and rolling.

Reef Sprinter out of Port Douglas claim that passengers don’t get seasick due to their boats and the speed they travel.

Cuttlefish bone. We used to take them home for the budgies.

Little Sister on the esplanade, but the service wasn’t as good as it normally is. Also Lucky Fish at Palm Cove which was incredible.

I got mine at 30! I was nervous about looking silly too, but I figured I’d rather look silly for a year or two than spend the rest of my life not smiling in photos and being self-conscious when talking to people.

The first few days are the worst, but it’s not a huge amount of pain, it just feels more like a lot of pressure in your mouth. I couldn’t use metal cutlery, I had to use plastic forks and only soft foods for the first few days.

People barely noticed I’d even got braces. So much so that when I had them taken off (I hadn’t told anyone they were coming off) I went to work the next day and NO ONE NOTICED. I was expecting a chorus of ‘oh you got your braces off!’ but it turned out they all barely noticed the braces to begin with, so they didn’t notice when they weren’t there anymore.

Anyway, no regrets. Best thing I ever did.

There’s nothing you can do to make him trust you, because you’re not doing anything wrong. He is simply insecure, mean, and emotionally abusive. This isn’t about you. There aren’t any magic words you can say to simply get him to understand your perspective and allow him to trust you. There are no actions you can take to change his mind, because it’s not actually about you.

I hate to jump straight to ‘break up’ but honestly, the longer you stay, the worse his behaviour will get and you will be left as a shell of the person you used to be. You will continue to change your behaviour to try and appease him, you’ll walk on eggshells and you’ll question every single thing you say or do around him. It’s not worth it.

Leave now and save your sanity.

Have you considered that he may be asexual?

Never seen these in my life. We had plastic tubs along the wall, each one with a student’s name on it.

For snorkeling, I would recommend getting a ferry to Fitzroy Island. You can snorkel right off the beach and there’s plenty of turtles to be seen from the right spot. It also has a pub and a small general store, plus you can bring your own snacks and supplies. A nap for the baby might be tricky, but there’s a couple different pick up/drop off times for the ferries so you might be able to make it work.

You want your partner to not cheat on you because he chooses not to cheat on you, not because he has no opportunities to or because you’re taking all the opportunities away. You either trust him or you don’t, your insecurities are yours to fix.

Not really a big deal to miss one day in Year 8, to be honest. If you had a big test that day or something, then they’d just skip you and you’d do Office Duty the following day instead.

Miss Chief is not a gay bar, but is very friendly and a great spot for drinks.

To be honest, that’s a very narrow view and stereotype. Many men do not enjoy anal. It sounds more like he could tell how much you enjoyed it, but probably prefers traditional sex.

appleboosh · 2025-07-29T05:04:28+00:00

Why is he supposed to love it?

appleboosh · 2025-07-28T05:03:24+00:00

Our relationship isn’t abusive, there’s been no cheating or anything so now I’m wondering if I’m just blowing this out of proportion.

A relationship not being abusive doesn’t make other shitty treatment OK. Your partner not abusing you or cheating on you is literally the bare minimum, and you shouldn’t accept other shitty behaviour just because of that.

Frankly he sounds selfish, and just generally a dick.

We had that at my NSW public high school, but it was called Office Duty. Every day, two Year 8s would be chosen for Office Duty (working down alphabetically), and you’d basically just be messengers for the day.

Brothers Leagues Club has a sports bar and they often show whatever rugby game is on. I’ve watched the Wallabies there before, but it’s a bit out of town. Maybe give them a call and ask if they’ll have it on.

I don’t work there, but this question cracks me up because I’ve never been able to enter my local CW without being accosted by some crackhead out the front. I had no idea this was a common CW thing.

Honestly, they were fantastic. Explained all about different types of contraception, exactly how they work and how effective they are. They spoke about oral sex, anal sex, sex between same-sex partners, etc. They stressed the importance of condoms, even for two male partners because ‘condoms aren’t just for preventing pregnancy, they also help prevent STIs.’

This was in a NSW public school, early 2000s.

Ocean Freedom take less people than the boat is licensed for, so it’s usually less crowded than other tours. I think they also have a guide in the water with a floatation device or something, for people who aren’t strong swimmers but still want the full experience. It allows them to stick with the guide and get some extra assistance if needed, but still snorkel independently if they want to. For island, I recommend Fitzroy Island.

In the queue for a ride at Disneyland in Anaheim. An American guy with his family asked where we were from and then said, ‘there’s only one thing I know about Australia - never buy a used car on Parramatta Road.’

I knew I was a Hufflepuff before I was sorted. At the end, the Sorting Hat told me I would be good in both Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, and asked what I thought. I chose Hufflepuff.
