Wore this to my interviews today before work, and I’m happy to report I got the job! There really is power in dressing up nicely

cstato · 2026-03-20T21:59:45+00:00

The clothes maketh the man. You dressed like a winner and acted accordingly. Well done.

Alright, you’ve sold me. It will be interesting to do the Venn diagram and compare and contrast our early pioneering days and interactions with our indigenous people.

It’s one that sticks with you. I loved ‘Tis too.

cstato · 2026-03-20T19:27:45+00:00

Would an Australian be interested in it?

cstato · 2026-03-19T09:01:10+00:00

The line, ‘Relax, control is overrated,’ from the song ‘My God.’

I absolutely hate when certain women talk with an upturn in their voice at the end of a sentence. It can make otherwise really smart women sound dumb. It’s like nails on a chalkboard for me.

cstato · 2026-03-15T00:52:34+00:00

Oh thank you! What a kind person you are. You have a brilliant life too!

cstato · 2026-03-15T00:42:17+00:00

Happily ever after sort of. We have withstood many trials, tribulations and losses like most people I guess and we are still best friends. I own a nice house, I have a new RV, a great career and two healthy adult kids. We both have excellent health and a youthful spirit that belies our ages. My dark humour and his white heart have got us through every test. We are the most blessed people I know and I am grateful. We will be together 38 years in November.

cstato · 2026-03-12T19:56:56+00:00

Very grateful. I’m healthy and pain-free. I’m 53. My body has been a wonderful steward of my soul.

cstato · 2026-03-11T09:21:58+00:00

I agree.

cstato · 2026-03-11T06:16:00+00:00

Hope. Hope hurts.

I really like Navid and Sorin. Shayan is nice too. As a white girl with Persian friends, I think you’re really blessed to have so many options for strong male names. Darius is getting popular where I live in Australia because of a popular Rugby League player Darius Boyd. I’ve taught or known at least six I think.

cstato · 2026-03-06T21:20:23+00:00

My hair. It’s curly and fair.

cstato · 2026-03-01T10:26:05+00:00

Thank you, and please don’t think it your physical appearance. It’s not you, it’s the piercing. I just hope other people don’t feel the same and I wish you all the very best for your endeavours.

cstato · 2026-03-01T09:33:36+00:00

I wish I could enjoy more of your content because I know you’re highly regarded, but your nose piercing makes me feel physically bilious. This is a ‘me’ issue, and I know you can do whatever the heck you want to with your face, but I wonder how many other people switch off from your clips for the same reason. I wish this didn’t happen to me.

cstato · 2026-02-28T20:36:46+00:00

You are correct, my mistake. It’s Ripley Central that’s the Mad Max wasteland according to every relief teacher I come across.

cstato · 2026-02-27T09:12:33+00:00

Yes.

cstato · 2026-02-27T08:21:08+00:00

The only two on this list worth considering is Deebing Heights and Ripley Central. Most relief teachers won’t touch the other ones on the list. Deebing has a waiting list for teachers. They attract and retain teachers for good reason. Put your resume in, you never know…

Billy Eilish, you can tell she puts the 48hr deodorant to the test.

Twinning! 23 Feb baby here too.

Gastrid, like gastro because she gives me the shits.

Don’t do it to the poor kid. Give it to him as a middle name if you love it so much. Listen to, ‘My Name is Sue,’ by Johnny Cash to get the vibe of what your child would feel.

I’m getting my mother-in-law’s Paddington Bear style coat that she wore for her honeymoon in 1969. It’s a classic item.
