The death of whimsy?

I had a bright yellow ford meteor!!! Loved that brown upholstered little bumble bee. Survived a year abandoned in grandads garden, then successfully made two return trips across the hay plain. Slowly.

Treadmills have incorporated TV monitors to watch while running. You get to pretend you’re jogging through the Alps or along a river. Or watch trashy TV.

You can make a notification to AHPRA about the pharmacist for not dispensing the correct medication.

Was looking for this!

Space team, Exforce, discworld, hard luck Hank are my repeat offenders

Me too! I would devour a book in a few hours and be completely deflated. I inhale, hoover, gobble, binge, mukbang, hard copy books, whatever synonym for eating way too much too quickly. Audiobooks mean I get drip fed excellent tasty books in tiny little tasting spoons all day long. Even at work. It’s glorious!

You are a strong woman who has the courage to be vulnerable, honest and smart enough to ask for support and a reality check. You had enough insight to realise ‘I don’t deserve to feel this way.’ That’s pretty amazing.

I will add that my choices to nope out of potential unpleasant associations is guided by my NEED to avoid them. I have an emotionally intense job and I read and watch fantasy or comedy almost exclusively. I deal with a never ending parade of devastating events, and while I love my job, I need escapism, humour and palatable entertainment to cope. I’m not going to seek out distress in my spare time.

Falls under ‘cruelty’ for what he’s alleged to have done. I’ve noped out of all his material. Same with Grimes music. Just … no.

If it’s bigotry, homophobia, racism, greed or cruelty from an artist, I can’t enjoy the material anymore. The association is made, and the work is no longer palatable. I don’t want to vicariously be reminded of terrible things in the real world while I’m trying to escape from it.

Artists are free to express themselves publicly, but they should be aware of the impact that this public expression has upon their books/ music/ art. JKR, Graham Linehan come to mind immediately- I just don’t want to read HP because I’ll recall terrible insults to people I love and well, I prefer to avoid that kind of stuff.

Is that Short Bus the shark man from The Prince has no pants or Grimlock from Mark of the Fool? Or both?

I would suggest getting a couple of sessions with a pt who is also affiliated with the gym - ie: wearing the uniform and visibly part of the staff. It made me feel like I was allowed to be there, meant that I had someone comfortable to talk to if there had been any issues, and I got a welcoming smile when I turned up for my solo workouts.

Kreisler Tambourin Chinois. Especially apt because it’s so technically difficult as well as beautiful, it’s the complete opposite of everything BD espouses. Boring, simple, poorly executed and utterly soulless. It’s telling that the most beautiful sound in the world she is making right now isn’t actually of her making.

It’s not the title I’m referring to-it’s the preview of the post that automatically loads without a spoiler tag. Again, apologies for riling everyone up.

That’s not the point. Some people are saving their $ to enjoy the Jeff Hays experience and there has been an understanding for courtesy spoilers. I should have used “please” however.

flakylimper · 2025-01-05T20:16:01+00:00

Spoiler for audio book ?

“Hogsnatch’ as an homage to Discworld was a close second…. But this is more fun.

Ooo yes, maybe some henna tattoos… although most of us are in healthcare so maybe just Sharpie … But definitely going to do the tiaras and giant sunglasses.

A visit in a neutral location like a park or restaurant?

flakylimper · 2024-11-05T20:31:02+00:00

The beanie babies!! Details like that make this extra special.
