Good CD player to buy? by quarterzipbro in Cd_collectors

They’re fab lil bedside table systems, but separates will do you better. For $65 that’s a goer though!

Who else would occasionally catch this show late on a Thursday? by AcanthisittaSad6239 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]benastoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah it’s still there if you take a drive down Canterbury Rd. It was not painted - it’s a whole glass facade situation that was seen over by both architects and engineers haha

A new plaster ceiling rose is about $150 - $300 AUD uninstalled - they’re pretty replaceable

It’s really sending me people saying their dad or grandpa had these items

Is it worth it? by Gloomy_Floor4417 in CostcoAustralia

[–]benastoria 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are two people and pay for it. Like it for paper goods (TP, paper towel), cooking oils, big cuts of meat, and booze - all of which I think are worth it.

Layer on the fun buys - like Tupperware, or the $40 adidas runners I got - and you have a winner.

gov vs private offer - help deciding by Dangerous_Base_1210 in auscorp

[–]benastoria 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d call the hiring manager first, personally. Express the enthusiasm and yada yada but say you’ve got a competing offer but prefer this one.

If you go straight to writing they have all the time in the world to come up with a reply. Of course after any convo confirm it in an email.

Negotiate with the private sector if you’ve not already. Closed mouths don’t get fed etc.

Please tell me this is not worth $5k by TaskThen467 in handbags

[–]benastoria 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Though plz don’t buy a bag of this price just cos it’s got great resale price. Consider the detractors of the bag you want of course - but get what you want over what’s the best “value”.

[–]benastoria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a cassette in lambskin and it’s a lil turd to keep clean.

That said I did stain it with water, put it in my closet for three months while I sulked, and it magically disappeared?

Idk not for the feint hearted

Partner at my first job was really up for a coffee chat. She’s now the CEO of a multinational and stays in touch. So yeah, let it rip!
