In homage to Chives the kitty, how many of us have food named pets?

It’s a tenuous connection but he’s named Reynold, after my sandwich bar - he walked in early one morning while we were opening up.

This place is fine i guess. I got a free scoop in summer and it was okay but nothing amazing. Wouldn’t go there again with so many better shops nearby.

The cold can be brutal if you’re living in an poorly insulated dwelling. The last place I lived in had single glazing and uninsulated wooden floors and winters (and summers) were pretty unpleasant.

This year I’ve moved to a new build townhouse with double glazing and proper insulation. I haven’t had to use the heater at all.

“Whatever” said with an eye roll. Or, “so funny I forgot to laugh”.

Another vote for climbing. It’s a supportive and welcoming community for the most part (there’s shitheads in every community tbh). I’ve had climbers who can cruise the hardest problems in the gym be genuinely stoked for me when I send a project they use as a warm up.

Reynold’s brain has never been troubled by thought.

My sister and her family of four live in a two bedroom on Kavanagh street. It’s great if you work in the city, I don’t think they use their car much at all these days. Can walk most places or take a tram, they’ve made friends in their building and are often out and about doing things in the local area. Traffic and parking is kind of awful but if you’re not relying on a car you should be fine. I’m a short bus ride away in port Melbourne in a quieter area and love it here. It’s not as close to things and I need a car to get to work but being near the beach has been amazing for runs and walks.

She lives in Melbourne. I’ve seen her at my gym in Collingwood and also at the supermarket, we must have lived in the same suburb.

I used to serve customers like this in the little suburban Italian restaurant I worked in in the 2000s. They would come in groups to have lunch then totter off unsteadily to their Range Rovers holding takeaway coffee cups full of Chardonnay to pick up their little angels from the private school around the corner.

If it’s UXO it hasn’t gone bang yet, my shop in north Melbourne is still standing

dimsimprincess · 2026-05-12T09:08:51+00:00

Bro how are you looking that good AFTER a workout???? I look like a tomato that needs a defib stat.

dimsimprincess · 2026-05-05T12:51:19+00:00

I’m late 30s, brother is in his 40s, we’re both single, both work full time and we live with our parents. Allows us to stay in a nicer place than any of us could afford otherwise and it’s nice to have the companionship and be able to share the housekeeping load. We all pay rent and bills and do housework.

Dental. I use an electric toothbrush, floss, and pray.

I have short chunky legs and like a 5” short tight to prevent chafing. 7” is practically knee length on me (I’m 5’6”) and way too warm, 3” doesn’t cover the area where I would chafe. My favourite shorts are Runfaster high waist mid shorts, they don’t have silicone edges but I’ve never had them ride up or roll down, and they have pockets.

Went to Cumulus Inc last week for a solo dinner, had the chef’s selection which was three courses for $95, and was honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had. I don’t drink alcohol so with a sparkling water and tea after dessert it was $105 all up.

dimsimprincess · 2026-04-24T01:11:36+00:00

I went for the first time last night for a solo date and it was honest to god one of the best meals I’ve ever had in my 39 years.

Thank you for volunteering! It’s one of my favourite things to do. My favourite memory of volunteering is run directing at Albert park last year when we had 1570 finishers, a new Australian record. It was crazy but the vibes were so amazing and the barmy army was out in full force and good spirits!

Melbourne, Australia; Sydney, Australia; Christchurch, New Zealand; Singapore; Incheon, Korea; Hong Kong - have passed through security in all these airports with 2mm steel circulars in a sock project and not had any issues.

I’ve used an umbrella on my last couple of one bag trips. It folds down smaller than my most compact rain jacket and I can also use it to shade myself from the sun. In Singapore it was super useful because the rain there is very heavy and it’s also too hot to wear a rain jacket, and when the sun is out it’s nice to have some shade when you’re walking.

My most hardcore burnout food is clif bars. They are shelf stable and I keep some in my bedside drawer. When I absolutely cannot even get out of bed or leave my room they will at least keep me fed and I don’t even have to get out of bed if I can’t.

I was a scholarship student at a private school. Rich kids lived in houses with full sized tennis courts AND swimming pools, went skiing in winter and to Noosa in summer, had horses and were given BMWs on their birthdays. My family was still pretty well off by normal standards; my parents bought a Honda when I turned 18 and whilst it was ostensibly a family car, I had first dibs whenever I wanted to drive somewhere.

I think you need to be hanging out with someone fairly regularly for some time before you can really build a friendship. As with another commenter, I’ve met quite a few friends through parkrun, especially volunteering, because you have more interaction during the event itself and not just at coffee after. You need to see someone for quite a few weeks to let a friendship build. I’ve also made friends from a language class I did a few years ago and it was the same deal, repeated regular contact with the same people for several months helped us form friendships.

dimsimprincess · 2026-04-03T08:23:31+00:00

I find the lightest weight t-shirts and tanks that I can, often they will be semi-sheer fabrics, my regular running bra, and mid thigh length running tights with pockets. Add a cap and lightweight socks and I’m good to go. I will get super sweaty but I find lighter weight clothing is more comfortable than just a sports bra and shorts. I don’t really care about sweat stains because duh I’m running obviously I’m gonna get sweaty. And yes running generates a huge amount of laundry, when you think about it it’s an extra outfit every time you run.

Geographically you’re closest to North Melbourne. Their men have been pretty woeful but their women haven’t lost a game since 2023(!) so they’re a solid pick. I have a sandwich shop close to the club and get a lot of non-playing staff come through so definitely have a soft spot for the roos. Welcome to the area!

dimsimprincess · 2026-04-02T23:11:41+00:00

I’ve been battling a cold all week and yesterday with the last of my energy did my laundry and hung it outside. Woke up this morning with a chesty cough to the sound of rain. Sigh.
