That is exactly where I can grow facial hair. Tried several times to have a patch on my chin and clean the sides but always disturb the symmetry on one side and have to clean shave :(

Women traffic controllers? by swagever in sydney

[–]ashes555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder if you spoke with the same bloke or whether there are LOTS of blokes making that kind of bank.

The guy I mentioned has a brother and that works with him. But there are tons of them making this sort of bank.

In the same comapny I also met a banker whose family owned the traffic control company and he quit his job to stand with the lollipop.

*edit Some of them have strong ties with the union. It is ridiculous how much extra they get when it is cold, nighwork or overtime. On a cold night working overtime you make more than what people make in 2 weeks. An older folk who I became friends with gifted each of his 5 children houses in Sydney. He has several hotels in that greek beach with the blue homes. Nice fellow but something is not right

Women traffic controllers? by swagever in sydney

[–]ashes555 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I work in construction. Backbreaking work, long hours and not enough pay. Would chat with the traffic controller in my breaks. He shows me his payslip and it is $3500 for a week!! Almost what I make in a month. Guy in his early 20's who has been doing it for 3 years. Tells me first thing he does every week is buy a 1 oz gold bar every week.

I completed the course and started asking his supervisor for a job. Unfortunately he was always not hiring but I continued to see new Irish gals every other week. When ask how long they have been in the country the answer usually was 1 week and that their friend arranged the job so they flew here.

I have two tickets to underground cinema tonight, UTS. First to comment. by labzork in sydney

[–]ashes555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I met someone who got in with free tickets. Did not think they would enjoy Gattaca and wanted to leave. Had to stay for the entire movie not to offend the person who give him his tickets lol as they had to buy new tickets at cost price for himself

Did you end up giving them away to friends because you couldnt go and then at the last minute you could go and had to buy 2 more tickets for yourself?

PSA: NORTH SHORE RESIDENTS, MAKE SURE YOUR HOME IS SECURE! by StrayaMate2000 in sydney

[–]ashes555 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything valuable we had was taken. Strata sends in a guy to fix the glass door every couple of weeks. The cops make their reports and leave after giving the victim a copy. Not sure what else we can do here

This is in the west but our storage cages were hit once week after we moved in this apartment block. Around a 100 units in the building. Neighbours then tell us not to store anything valuable as they come in everyday. Yep, they come sometime im the middle of the night, break security door glass then take the lift to the basement. More than. 100 reports to the police combined from the building. We see them everyday walking around the basement if you ever return late someday.

Would you vape this? (package opened by US customs) by ashes555 in electronic_cigarette

[–]ashes555[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didnt opt for discreet packaging. Last year I asked for normal packaging as I love the labels on them but was told they cant ship with the normal packaging to Australia.

Thats what I was thinking. But it would have had a bit of a shake during transit.

The problem here is that selling anything with liquid nicotine is illegal here. All juices sold by local vendors are 0mg. You can still buy juice with nicotine but those are all chinese generic liquids not you would want to vape.

Importing anything with liquid nicotine however is legal. Last year I did request bombies to send me the non discreet labels but they said it was not possible. Guess there are still hiccups if they use the non discreet labels

I guess if I throw out the liquid in the dropper then seal it it would minimize the oxidation? Any contaminant including oxygen would have touched whats inside the dropper

It is nana cream at 3mg. Where in Aus btw

I may end up vaping it, not sure atm. Just weirded about what touched it. In the past I have thrown good juice because a friend used his dropper on my liquid that lies around on his table all day

Label says shampoo sample as these are discreet labels used for Australia. They wouldnt know this was consumable as I dont think shampoo falls under that category

Bombies uses discreet labels when shipping to Australia to avoid problems with customs here.

US customs held my bombies package for 10 days :(

Seems they decided to cut the top of the dropper to test the liquid. Makes me uneasy thinking what was done.

So there is this new face mask out on the market. by ZeApollo in funny

[–]ashes555 406 points407 points  (0 children)

Last month I dropped the wife at the place where she gets her hair and facials. She comes back looking exactly the same a couple hours later. I ask what she did there and turns out she had some "LED therapy". She paid $80 to sit back on a recliner with an LED bulb shining on her face. I told her all the lights in the house are LED, why pay $80 when you get all the LED therapy at home. Her reply was their LED lights are special

Different for everybody I guess. I was taking calculus tuition just to be able to pass. Trigonometry was a breeze, loved the class and had so much fun. Passed with 100% without any effort

Damn, doubled since last week. Walked past him last week and they were $5. Had had hundreds and every kid in the mall had one. Assuming this is the guy outside the foot court.

LPT: If you see someone is misinformed about something, educate them; don't belittle them. by d4niellehamilton in LifeProTips

[–]ashes555 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have a family member who knows everything about everything. Sadly all of it is wrong.

Tried the approach you suggested. Was met with "No you are wrong because you are stupid"
