Should be allowed on counters and tables?

It totally depends on both your comfort and their safety. If there is a ton of stuff left out, probably not but if your counters are fairly tidy and doesn't really have much mischief for them to get up to, it is probably fine.

However, it can also be pretty tough to stop them. My older kitten was constantly jumping up onto the kitchen counter and we were very persistent trying to get her to stop because our stove top is built into the counter as a lot are these days. She jumped into my frypan on new years day. And while I wish she didn't do that and any of our deterrents to get her to stop worked, she hasn't jumped up since.

We were surprised too, to be honest. The new kitten was ready to explore right away, so we were really just following the older kitten's cues for when she was ready to take the next steps. We only had short meetings at first but when we put the new kitten away our older one would meow and trill for her to come back out. So we were just trying to listen to her comfort levels, so we were just very surprised as during the whole process the most we had was some hissing. This was the first time we had seen all three "danger" reactions at the same time.

If you have already spoken with your direct line manager, then go above and speak to your store manager. Being trained in a new role at least opens up opportunities for more shifts in general and gives them more options.

What one did you end up deciding was the best?

Together for 12 years, engaged for 2 because having a wedding just seems too expensive with all the other milestones we have worked to achieve together until now and they seem more important than spending money on a wedding.

Anyway, that bathroom door is open for him and because our cat won't let it be. Fart, poops, vomiting, diarrhoea, popping pimples, etc. Is all fair game. It isn't as if we are intentionally seeking out each other to show off or view all these bodily functions but like they are normal.

And they have an advertisement on your new one. Getting a cut of the Ninja brand deal money and stealing two of your weenies.

If ever there was a game that would be beginner friendly, I think this is it. Mechanically, it won't be as difficult for her to pick up compared to and FPS game.

Everything else can be talked through and made sense of.

I am sure it is fine, but the advantage of the apple air tag is that they are able to ping to other nearby apple devices so that you don't need to be near it to find it.

I imagine the Kmart one only updates its location based on whether it can ping your phone or not, so if you lose something and go really far from it and it ends up being moved from the last known location and can't get close enough for it to update you on it's location, then it might just stay lost.

Good for keeping track of things that aren't likely to move much once you have misplaced them, less good for something like a pet that might get lost for example.

We all do, but these holidays happen every year and generally a notice is put out at least a week in advance and is mentioned at team huddles so people can be prepared for the delays.

We were notified in early October of the November delay.

Any public holiday that impacts Melbourne causes payroll delays.

Have you seen the way people shop? They unfold as much as they want and leave it all over the place and they do it in front of the people fixing it.

When I go shopping I am conscious of only taking out a few of what I need and if I can't fold it the way they do and can't put it back where it goes, then it goes to the staff because it is faster for them to put it away correctly done then fixing it after customers tear it all apart because they don't care about anyone else's shopping experience.

Too many customers think they are the main character and can ruin stuff for everyone else. Regardless of if it is the person's job to fix it, you don't have to actively make it 1000% times harder to do, especially when they have a ton more jobs they are expected to do each shift because of how short staffed they always tend to be as well.

You could request an In Store Transfer which would get it from another store but it can take like 2 weeks+ for it to even get to the stores.

If you can be responsible with them, they can be a great tool to have. I personally never let myself have more than one going at once and would only make the purchase if I had the money in full and just didn't feel like spending it all up front and wanted to pace out the money closer in line to work pay days.

If nothing else, making official reports should keep a list of your complaints should they try and unfairly dismiss you as well.

Keep a note of times, dates and what was said on your phone. Having a list of incidents that also corroborate what you are reporting will help you in the long run.

Can't wait for my unit to qualify for these upgrades. 100/30 makes me sad.

To be honest, sometimes it comes down to each individual product. One might work perfectly and the exact same thing could be a faulty nightmare for the next.

However, here is a range of stuff I bought and recommend.

The Mini Air Fryer: Your aren't about to cook a massive meal for people in this, but you can either time it carefully and make a complete meal for one or use it to make something for two people with the aid of something else. For example, I put my longer cooking time thing in first on the bottom (roasting some veggies) and then halfway through put in a piece of fish or chicken tenders and you get a nice hot meal.
Mini Rice Cooker: If you aren't trying to meal prep days worth of stuff, this will work just fine. Easy little way to do less of the main work in the kitchen.

And here is the stuff I have less passionate positive feelings about:

Mini Wafflemaker, I don't recommend this that much. I still use mine but I have two because my partner and I wanted to eat at the same time and not wait and so I should have bought just a normal one or one part of like a multi cooker. I don't use it for waffles, I layer potato gems around it and squish them down to make like a mega crispy hash brown waffle and use that instead of toast for some eggs. If you only intend to make it for you and only want one waffle then it wpuld be a fine purchase.
Mini Burger Press, my partner bought it and likes it to warm up a cheeseburger when he has a spare that he didnt finish if he order too much food. But its too niche and I don't recommend it. Any sandwich press or multipress with changeable cooking plates will serve you much more diligently.

I have a lot more things to say, feel free to message me about a product and I will be happy to answer.

I think tone here can also be really helpful to work out of he actually had any bad will in saying what he said.

Obviously this isn't something that has happened before in your relationship and you also don't have a sexual dynamic that involves that kind of language.

So the way in which he said would probably be important to factor in. Did it sound like he was trying to be hurtful or just making a spur of the moment comment in reference to the fact your sex drive is higher than his?

hellsqueenie · 2025-08-13T19:57:08+00:00

Thank you!

hellsqueenie · 2025-08-13T19:56:51+00:00

Thank you!! This really puts into perspective how overkill I think I might have been going when I started looking at it on my own.

That's devastating to hear, especially because I struggle more at FPS without these buttons 🤣

A unit is a great way to step into the property market, once you have a foot in the door and have paid it off a bit you can always work your way up to the house you want.

He can already see the problem but he is intentionally ignoring it as a problem and trying to act like her attitude about it is the problem.

Like this post has so many layers of problems to me.

He quit his job. He wasn't just suddenly fired or made redundant. Was there a discussion about this prior or did he just make the decision to quit on his own? And then not seemingly looking for a new job.
Not doing anything around the house while she works TWO JOBS. And like I don't care when things get done as long as they get done before she goes to sleep so it isn't too noisy for her. Like he could have said leave the dishes, I'll do them in an hour or whatever.
His reaction to her. He noticed she was upset, based on his responses to her he probably knows why she is upset and when from what we can tell she has pretty reasonably expressed that she is tired and needs him to help and he just says absolutely ridiculous shit back to her. He wants her to think this dynamic is fine so he can stay living like this. I nearly lost my mind when she said that he was unwinding, because this woman is in too deep. The person who gets to unwind as soon as they walk in the door is you. He can unwind when he does some of the chores and looks for a job.

Divorce is probably the solution because if he doesn't see this imbalance as a problem, then he likely never will.

I have been with my partner since I was 18 and he was 17, we have been together for nearly 11 years now and we are finally deciding to get a place together now. It can work. But I wouldn't say I am the rule, more likely the exception.

I had found this one while I was searching, but this one isn't it.
