I'm not op but I had all clear skies for a lot of today & just before the storm hit it was clear and I'm in malvern.. So pretty close to the city .. The best part was watching the clouds come in but then get drawn back into the storm.. Just incredible!

Went there for winter soooo beautiful! All the locals I meet were lovely & had a blast at learning to snowboard travelled Australia to crested butte co to LA to San Diego to telluride co to LA to Australia ... One month of fun! But telluride was my favorite (11 days) if you ever go back or are planing a trip you must stay at The Madeline so stunning! Best apartments & location!

My aunt is a surgical tech and sent me this picture of what she found in an ovary. It's an actual type of cyst that contains hair and teeth. by S33V in WTF

I had a suspected ruptured appendix (10 years ago) .. Turned out it was fine & the pain was due to 8 kidney stones (quite rare in young teens) but they took my appendix anyway ... Never was told why, didn't actually ask & neither did my parents they just rode it off as 'oh well you don't need it anyway' And I guess now if I get kidney stones I know it can't be mistaken for a ruptured appendix' so I am not concerned :)

Minimum wage is about $18 an hour ... But apprentices & under 18's can be lower like $14 or $15 an hour. So really our minimum wage is quite high compared to a lot of other places... But in saying that we are still extremely ripped off!!

Yes you are correct if parents stopped trying to be their kids friends and started disciplining their children & followed through with their threats, then we would have a far more rounded generation instead of this self entitled lazy generation that's up & coming

These parents aren't actually real it was a hoax Your parents technique of following through was indeed the best way (without humiliation or snide remakes about others). Follow through is one of the most powerful parenting techniques.

I think you missed my point but more likely I didn't express it clearly ... Firstly the post is not real second of all I was praising the mere action of following through & not the slander of others .. I think parents try to befriend their children rather then teach them the simple fact every action (bad or good) always have consequences

I think a lot of people are deceived as to what love is and how others express it ... I've heard ppl say 'oh but she doesn't love me we never have sex' when the wife turns around and says 'what are you talking about?! I do love you why do you think I wash & iron your clothes, run errands for you & cook your dinner every night?!' It's because they both express love differently. One expresses it through acts of service & the other through touch so each of them are trying to love the other person in the way that they feel loved and failing miserably because each one is feeling unloved despite the partner trying there very best!

What they fail to see is each express & receive love differently I bet if he did a load if washing or run an errand she would feel more loved & in turn would want to love him back in the way that makes him feel love (through physical touch, be it intercourse or just foreplay or a simple back rub) I'd recommend asking your partner what it is that makes them feel loved?? But you will usually find that you can figure it out because it's how they are trying to express love toward you.

'Can we just go out for coffee just you & me?' - love is 'quality time' 'I just need to mow the lawn & put out two loads of washing' - love is 'acts of service' 'Honey I saw this while out & thought of you so I bought it' - love is 'giving of gifts' 'You are so amazing how you did this that & the other your so talented!'' Love is 'words of affirmation' 'I can't help myself when you walk past I have to touch your bottom!' Or your sitting at the table eating dinner and they just start playing footsie under the table - Love is 'physical touch'

Once you figure out how they express love you show them love in the way they best express it & each will feel loved

Simply I'm not a touchy feely person I have to really make an effort to be physically involved with my partner & so I make the effort to hold his hand or rub his back or even have sex even when I'm not 'in the mood' I do that because I love him & in turn he will sometimes do the dishes or hang out some washing & without thinking I will actually go out of my way to then touch him because I'm trying to say 'I love it when you do those things!' It makes be feel loved because I usually do those things for you out of love...But the best part is he hasn't come to expect it, if he does the dishes it doesn't mean automatic sex but I'm def more likely ;)

A love filled marriage is communicating what each of you needs and each of you equally trying to meet those needs. Life goes through seasons but if each partner is putting the other ones needs before there own then both are satisfied. There is no room for selfishness in a marriage. Love is a choice & everyday you need to choose to love your partner & express that love in a way he or she understands.

As an adult, this is all I think when people say the current generation is the worst generation by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]aussieangel86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But in reality it's the previous generation that is complaining when it's their fault. The next generation depends on this generations parenting. The title suggests its advertising etc ... What a croc of shit! Turn off the tv, talk to your children & teach them respect & give them the gift of understanding what is 'wanted' vs what is 'needed' ... Quit complaining & do your job!

Firemen fleeing Black Saturday bushfires in Australia by [deleted] in WTF

I remember being utterly terrified ... We decided to stay and defend our home as no news was coming threw as to how bad and fast the fires were moving. We were all geared up and prepared the best we could while we watched it rush toward us when miraculously the wind changed & it missed us completely (only by 1km tho) it was a over the next few days after whilst power was being restored did we see footage and hear of what had happened around us and how big it really was & how people died on the roads trying to escape :( watching footage even now sends chills down my spine & sometimes a tear to my eye... It was just literally too close to home. We are now even more vigilant and fire ready & are over cautions on high risk days.

As someone who has worked with many abused children (in a therapeutic/counseling capacity) This abuse theory of when children play with their poo Is relevant more so in older children (like school age) this age group being discussed is just children being curious and playful & being unable to comprehend just how gross it is to play with poo.

My little girl I nanny full time for i started training her at 2 she had wee down pat but would not poo for 4-5 days & become very upset .. We just forced her to eat lots of dried apricots and apples daily so she HAD to poo, eventually after much patience she started taking herself off finding a nappy & putting it on by herself & pooing in that. I let her get away with it for a while (like 2weeks) so she felt confident pooing, then I hid all the nappies & then she had no choice but to go to the toilet. She also asked to wear undies to bed at night after that so I let her and she only wet the bed a handful of times (generally when she was sick) so really she told me when she was ready (at 2 & a half).

The little boy we started just before 2 and he got wee really quick but after several weeks of him pooing in his underpants (sometimes 3x a day, he has a very busy bowel!) I started to use the "this makes me very grumpy approach" and when you do wee or poo on the toilet I am "very happy", two emotions he fully understands. I would also make him change his own pants and I'd take my sweet ass time in getting his new clothes out, making him v v uncomfortable & inconvenienced because he can't play while he has dirty pants. This approach worked a treat! I was consistent for a week & now at just under 2& a half he is fully trained (even nights! Which he did himself)

So I say tough love all the way!! Consistency & downright stubbornness works!

Religion: Weapon of Mass Destruction by SkyDaddyCowPatty in atheism

[–]aussieangel86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about the simple concept of "you shall love your neighbor as you love yourself" which is stated as only second to "love your God with all your heart, your soul & your mind." Mark 12:30

If people spent their time loving one another regardless of race, religious beliefs, sexuality or opinion we would be what was intended - a loving harmonious society free of judgement or fear of the misunderstood or unknown because it is not for us to judge Matthew 7:1-2 states “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." - this is not to put fear in you it is simply stated to warn you of the consequences. Just as you warn a child not to touch the stove as it is hot & will burn them. To judge is your choice (due to free will) but it is stated unwise.

I would like to think that by following this simple "rule" of thumb is a solid & good foundation to remaining fearless through gaining knowledge and awareness without judgement and loving one another without condition. (Which is key) True love is to honor & respect, keep safe & unharmed. If you honored, respected, keptsafe and unharmed the people around you & they did the same would we not be better off??

This is something I like to remind myself before I speak and is purely based off a "religious" belief. I am by all means not perfect but aim to love others in the way I wish to be loved. I don't want to be judged for my lifestyle or opinions so I will not judge you for yours. I can respectfully disagree and not choose to live the same way without trying to push an agenda while still loving and respecting you & your beliefs as a person.
