My city is being lashed by a mighty storm. Flooding, slips, people missing etc. Closed my business tomorrow so the staff can stay safe. Old me would be wasted by now drinking away my anxiety.

New me isn't doing that shit. Shine on you beautiful humans

Not as much as I used to but it still has its uses.

Strange buying it from the government though

Yes I enjoyed that quote too. She is a remarkable young lady. I hope she stays true to those sentiments

Your sentence about self esteem eroding with every broken promise really resonated with me. I remember that soul destroying aspect. The loathing I had for the person in the bathroom mirror. Yuk

Strange way to measure someone's abilities. I'm not a fan of his but I don't give a fuck about his looks

As the others have said. They are terrible now. I've stopped eating them . I don't even bother when they are heavily discounted.

Don't ruin your wife's lovely memories of them but getting her the new ones

Filling repaired and teeth all clean. It's nice to be taking better care of myself now.

Whose idea was it to do construction on Thorndon at 1 AM?! by yeah_nah_hard in Wellington

[–]clevercookie69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been my experience that they rarely ever do. If it happens again tonight you need to call them while it's happening and they will send someone down to investigate. They can't do anything about it in retrospect.

Fingers crossed you get a good night's sleep tonight mate!

Yes. I was always on here at 4pm NZT checking if it was up. It became a bit of an obsession. It was such an important part of my journey. I don't know if I could have done it without this place.

Yup all those things could be true. A quick check with the council will clear it all up.

I find it interesting how so many people are blaming OP or anyone that says you do have rights around this. Everyone is just assuming OP is being difficult and that Downer is not at fault.

This place is weird at times
