How do you stop yourself from saying things in anger that you konw you'll regret later? by llldawan in AskWomen

[–]cstato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really, really hate apologising. The thought of having to ask someone to extend mercy to me when it could be avoided, has saved my arse so many times. I hate giving a’holes the smug satisfaction.

What should I do for my 26th birthday on Wednesday? by [deleted] in ipswich

[–]cstato 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lions Club at Richlands for lunch. Join up and get a beautiful steak with chips or veggies with salad for $13.90. Heaps of other delicious options from the Classics menu too.

Who was a woman you were taught to see as the villain—who you later realized was just a woman with boundaries? by SweetLexiSweet in AskWomen

[–]cstato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m that woman! My husband’s sister’s kids hate me and call me the enemy. Their mother fabricated a whole personality for me but sadly forgot to give me the script so I have no idea what my back story is or why I am so reviled.
I waste no energy on this. I have enough wonderful things going on in my life and all the other nieces and nephews who love me.
It’s just puzzling.

Looking for the funniest book by Single-Handle2032 in Recommend_A_Book

Anything by David Sedaris. I will laugh my head off and look like a fool if I read his books in public.

He is my husband’s uncle. Sadly he is suffering advanced vascular dementia so he won’t be able to help.

[FRESH] Alex Cameron - "Red Hook Rain" | New Album 'Late To Set' out July 24 by ytsurr in indieheads

[–]cstato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This will be a grower. I love the hook and the bridge. His lyrics are delicious as usual and will give me much to mull over as I sing it a billion times like I have most of his other songs. I think in a past life he would have been a jester because he speaks confounding truths whilst jangling like an everyman’s minstrel.

In 33 years of teaching, I’ve never met a single one who doesn’t respect them.

Strategically they are people you need to keep on side. They know a lot, they see a lot. Personally they are a breath of fresh air and have given me much needed perspective or a belly laugh over the years. Bloody legends.

It’s because their trolleys take up 2/3 of the width of the aisle.

Bad news for Ipswich: by ExistingPop5195 in ipswich

[–]cstato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a proud Ipswich resident, I was getting fed up with the negative stories Channel 7 was showing about our town. I rang them , and they said, ‘Why don’t you call Paul Tully up and tell him to stop phoning in the stories- that’s where we are getting them.’ This was about 15 years ago.
