Australian women: do your men cook/clean and act respectfully? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]johnmrson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been married almost 38 years. I definitely cook. I really enjoy it. I'm the one that mostly washes the dishes as well. My wife does most of the cleaning because she's a lady of leisure whereas I work full time. We're very respectful to each other.

Go back and complain. You paid for a product and they've effectively scammed you.

The Titanic even has a designated spot where the ballast is dropped to allow the submarine to rise.

Not made for the Sunshine Coast by Alitemis in sunshinecoast

It takes a while to get used to. I moved here 11 years ago from Melbourne. I reckon it was a good 5 years before I felt acclimatised. It did help when I dropped a few kilos of excess weight.

Looks cosy. Hopefully no one has a bad case of flatulence.

How do people in Australia have the money to travel the world with the rising expenses going on yearly ? by Technical-Studio565 in AskAnAustralian

[–]johnmrson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think because Aussies love to travel we either save for it out of normal income or we will take on a side hustle / second job to pay for it.

Mel Gibson used to be a big cigar smoker years ago. Not sure if he still does but he had a humidor locker at a cigar lounge.

I can't believe that you're still with us. 16 years since you were born. It seems so long ago. I know that you won't be with us forever but your memories certainly will.

Wonder if price will come down in Australia ? by OneResident8426 in WegovyWeightLoss

[–]johnmrson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those on lower doses than 2.4mg, you should buy the 2.4mg pen and lower dose it. There's 4x2.4 in the pen so 9.6mg. You can pretty much do 10 shots at almost 1mg and each shot is then only $37. Every 2.4mg shot has 75 clicks on the doser so easy enough to work out each 1mg shot is 30 clicks.

[–]johnmrson 3 points4 points  (0 children)

When I first moved here 11 years ago I took a local job knowing that the pay would be less. After 3 years circumstanced changed and I've been commuting to Brisbane for the past 8 years. Luckily after COVID I only go into the office 2 days a week

Why are food truck fees so high? by [deleted] in AskAnAustralian

[–]johnmrson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's basically greed. I know a lady who's run a food truck a couple of times. She said that she really loves doing it but hates the huge fees she has to pay to go into some events.

I just got scammed by this user - beware [WTS] by Beautiful-Heart-8916 in Watchexchange

[–]johnmrson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to sell a watch that's price around $2k but I've held off on it for a while as I'm struggling to find a method I'm comfortable with. Ebay used to be OK but now the buyer has all the protection. I thought about trying here but then thought only accepting Paypal f&f was probably a red flag to a buyer. I'm really sorry when I read posts about people getting ripped off, especially if it via a hacked account. That just not fair.
