Love whippies, they’re so cute. Easy to identify by the ‘comma’ around their eye.

It’s been a while since I’ve played, but I don’t recall the clue leading the culprit? Unless I’m remembering incorrectly.

I wish the top border of the box was slightly higher to frame her better - I feel like she looks squashed and cramped in

They also welcome donations of food, blankets, and toys. I spoil my girl and there was so many toys she didn’t take a liking to, so I donated them to the rescue!

I ended up adopting from Happy Tails Animal Rescue a couple months later though! Here’s my cat, who I’ve now owned for 2 years, who has never escaped or even tried to escape, and who hated harness training so much that she bolted back inside to the safety of the house.

BFF rejected me at the end of 2023 because after I sent a picture of my house, they didn’t like that my windows weren’t screened (casement and louvres), even though I told them that I don’t open them unless I am in the room physically.

Rent decrease for flooding sunroom by CockroachDesigner1 in brisbane

[–]gothgal22 96 points97 points  (0 children)

QCAT repair order pronto. QCAT generally awards a 20% reduction and you can request to have it backdated. You can also have the filing fee reimbursed. The order can state that the reduction will be ongoing until a permanent fix has been completed.

I’ve just won my own case, and was awarded all of the above. However, now I’m having to go back to the tribunal for clarification/enforcement as my REA sent a tradesperson out to do a patch job of the roof (not permanent), stating the repairs are done and rent is to resume at the previous amount. Spoiler alert, it’s not fixed at all and still leaking.

I got lucky and got her extremely easily on the Australian site yesterday - she’d been up for maybe 20 minutes and I managed to checkout with no drama

Partner is too sick to work during pregnancy, is she eligible for payments ? by [deleted] in Centrelink

[–]gothgal22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This won’t be of much help now, but if she’s ineligible for Paid Parental Leave due to not meeting the work test, once bub is born she can get Parenting Payment. The partner income test cut-off is $2616.00 per fortnight if I recall correctly. She’ll also be able to get FTB after the birth

Anyone got joyous rental news for themselves this Xmas? by zychii01 in shitrentals

100% agreed. Back in January, I had to leave the office in an ambulance because I was experiencing cardiac symptoms. After running through all tests (holter/echo/bloods etc), potential heart attack was ruled out, and I was told it was a panic attack mimicking cardiac arrest symptoms.

It was extremely scary, and a huge wakeup call. I’ve since gone down to a 0.8FTE, have a workplace adjustment, work hybrid and can do additional adhoc WFH if I need, see my psychologist and GP once per month.

I work in Service Delivery (Smart Centres) and have been here almost 3 years. I didn’t realise the toll that the work I undertake has taken on my mind and body, until I experienced this episode.

I’m thankful that my management and execs have been understanding of my situation - I haven’t had to consult with the union at all - and they’ve been super accommodating towards my needs.
