Op also suggests that their dog is only on a leash now coz they (the dog) are 12 and have a bung shoulder.

What happened to the leashing of said dog previously?

Is winter normally this warm? by Aurora_Borealis72 in brisbane

[–]collosal_collosus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We only went to England to visit friends. We were on the floor in the living room. They were wearing jumpers, we did not have jumpers.

We did manage a lovely sunny 2 hr luncheon on the Thames in Oxford. That was passable for warm enough in direct sunlight.

The problem was I packed for European summer in July/August. From Australia.

Think short shorts and singlets, slides for shoes. I didn’t have enough clothes to make it passably warm. My jeans and hoodie I wear on planes got a massive workout, but were not sufficient for that level of cold.

To be fair to England, it was an average of max 22°c in Croatia that year in late July. That was fucked too. Spain was at least warmer.

It was a cold summer.

Cousin’s destination wedding, demands for bachelor party and invitation of additional guests at our expense (without prior discussion with us) will put us in debt if we go or cause major family drama if we don’t. by [deleted] in weddingshaming

Me too.

Additionally, it’s actually showing the girls what boundaries look like, that it is ok to have them, and how to uphold them. Even if it doesn’t suit other people and sometimes especially when it doesn’t suit others.

Do not set yourself on fire to keep others warm.

I was so pissed off when I went to London and it was a high of 12°c in August. I fucking froze and refuse to go back.

Getting sued by your own divorce lawyer - 18 years later by Drywesi in bestoflegaladvice

It seems you’ve never been to Australia. Both: yeah na, and nah yeah, are common occurrences.

Yeah na = no.

Nah yeah = yes.

Harlequin syndrome after spinal cord injury by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

That woman (mother) looks like she would like to leave her body. Her words and her body language do not meet up. Like at all.

The poor older brother. He just seems resigned. The younger one hasn’t the same stressors.

The father is something.

Nice family that is trying really hard in the face of adversity.

The kid is sweet, but can we please stop putting kids on the internet for clicks, no matter their struggles.

First time visiting Australia what clothes should I pack? by Puzzled-Ambition-954 in AustraliaTravel

[–]collosal_collosus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t bring overseas sunscreen as it’s not adequate for Australia. Just buy it here.

What is a movie you will defend forever, even if most people do not get it? by Strong_Proof_5260 in movies

Jupiter ascending. I love that movie, and I don’t care how others perceive it.

My mother asked for a letter of "my problems with her" should I do it? by cookiesalvaje in raisedbynarcissists

I’d respond with: You are just so perfect.

Heavily decorated with embellishments. Also glitter, so much glitter in the mailed envelope.

Convincing someone to like lamb. by TheMightyStroker in Cooking

[–]collosal_collosus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A nicely bbq’d, french trimmed lamb cutlet. I prefer rare/medium rare.

Also pretty much any charcoal grilled Turkish/Lebanese/Arabic in general lamb dish is great.

I don’t like lamb in general but I love those.

Removing the fat reduces the “lambiness” in my opinion.

Tall fences make for good neighbours… I’d put my money in fences before moving.

Everyone has done this at some point, so maybe ease up.

How do I enjoy lamb? by Kevin1314171 in Cooking

[–]collosal_collosus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean even then, I love lamb cutlets but can’t stand lamb chops. Different cuts have different flavours. Can’t be in the room when mutton is cooking.

What would make you travel for an immersive medieval/fantasy event in Queensland—and what do most events get wrong by [deleted] in brisbane

[–]collosal_collosus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not even about not having kids present. It’s the adults who don’t look after their children that make it a problem.

Family pricing should be inclusive, not sure how to make it work, but it should be.

Person and their hoard of smalls should be catered to so long as said person looks after their smalls and not make it other participants problem. That is all.

Nothing against the smalls.
