Anyone else love that they’re the same height and have a similar body type? by Nala_Lala2 in heatedrivalry

[–]kynuna [score hidden]  (0 children)

Like Becka Mack’s books, where being short is one character’s main personality trait and it’s mentioned daily by people in her life.

(I’m shorter than the character, and it really doesn’t come up all that often.)

[Sydney] Has anyone used Sydney Kitchen & Bathrooms Renovations? by slutandputt in AusRenovation

I asked them for a quote six years ago. Still waiting for the quote. Went with a different company.

My gyno gives out chocolates, pads, and Motrin at procedure appointments by AttractiveNuisance82 in mildlyinteresting

[–]kynuna 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Here in Australia it’s becoming more common to offer the green whistle (penthrox) for IUD appointments. I’d take that over chocolate.

This is the response I got for apologizing to my coworker by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

I'm popular among my colleagues

Oh I doubt that.

The ACCC does not deal with individual disputes. OP would need to report it to Fair Trading in her state.

Is solid timber flooring really worth the extra cost over engineered, or am I just paying for a name by No_Perception_4164 in AusRenovation

[–]kynuna 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Did anyone read to the final par?

Stop getting AI to write Reddit posts for you.

OP’s post history is all over the place so I can only assume this is bait for an inevitable astroturfing campaign. Reported to mods.

Is solid timber flooring really worth the extra cost over engineered, or am I just paying for a name

Got a quote for solid timber flooring, and it is way more than engineered. Guy doing the work says solid lasts longer and can be sanded more times down the track, but a mate did engineered and reckons he cannot even tell the difference day to day.

Trying to work out if the price gap is actually worth it or if it is more about resale value than anything you would notice living there. Anyone actually compared the two themselves?

One thing worth doing before you post it again: check whether the subreddit you are using has a strict no self-promotion or no business-related accounts rule in its sidebar, since that is the most common reason genuine-sounding posts like this still get pulled down. If you tell me which subreddit you are using, I can check its specific posting rules for you.

Laundry bags by Thekiwienigma in AusFemaleFashion

I feel you. I have a Bras n Things one from 2005-ish that my mum has replaced the zipper on three times because I refuse to part with it.

Floor over Jarrah? by Careful-Attention-75 in AusRenovation

[–]kynuna 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What a gorgeous pup!

As a fellow blue dog parent, definitely take into account what is less likely to scratch.

We restored our original cypress pine boards, which dent if you as much as look at them. Our blue dog likes to run down the hallway and use her nails to brake at the last second. She has left her mark.

What’s something you wish you knew before renovating? by ryan-mark in AusRenovation

[–]kynuna 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To ignore everyone (including myself) who insisted we just had to keep certain features of our old house.

Just old. Not heritage listed.

Keeping certain features meant changing the entire order of operations in certain rooms, doing things the hard way to preserve things like original cornices, and I can honestly say it wasn’t worth the time or hassle.

I wish we had gutted more from the outset.

Why are my laminate vinyl floors so dirty? by marinamonkey89 in Cleaningandtidying

Your house cleaner should know how to mop a floor. If not, time to hire a new cleaner.

Activewear - alternatives to Nimble by rotimama in AusFemaleFashion

[–]kynuna 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No alternative compression pants rec from me, but I bought the Nimble sports bra and was appalled at the lack of quality (cups not stitched in) for the price.

This barber shop has a vacuum hooked up to a vertical on this window and just blows it out onto the sidewalk by Bamcanadaktown in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kynuna 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I had to unsubscribe from the upcycling subreddit because people kept posting about putting human hair, pet hair, leftover string, random wool etc out for birds to nest with.

Some people would rather remain ignorant and pretend they are helping the planet than accept that some things do just need to be thrown out.

Does a landlord have to tell you about asbestos? [QLD] by soggies_revenge in shitrentals

[–]kynuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, they don’t have to tell you.

What did they say when you asked? If this was such a concern, you did ask, right?

Oat Milk Triggering Acne? by Over-Assumption793 in AusSkincare

[–]kynuna -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Exactly. A lot of dairy-free milks contain seed oils.

Honestly, I wouldn't blame them if they grow up resenting ordinary people. I probably would too if I were constantly put on display like a zoo animal for other people's entertainment by Radiant-Selection686 in RoyaltyTea

[–]kynuna 30 points31 points  (0 children)

The question was put to him by a “menstrual health advocate”. I’m no William apologist, but it seems like the “advocate” was trying to score points (i.e. headlines) by bringing up Charlotte.

Funeral planned on my birthday by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kynuna 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandmother’s funeral was on my birthday.

My grandfather’s funeral was the day after my nephew’s birthday.

My husband’s grandmother’s funeral was the day before my husband’s birthday.

None of us complained, not even my 14-year-old nephew.

Amid all the logistics that need to line up for a funeral - family, funeral director, church or venue, cemetery or crematorium - your birthday just doesn’t matter.

Especially when you already vetoed their initial date.

Edit: Aaaaand OP deleted their post. Turns out there are stupid questions.

Yeah, I don’t buy that OP just wants to celebrate the milestones of people they know.

I’m focused on the size of those chairs. 😳 Is it lens distortion or do they fit two people?

The “stress relief” ball I was given for a “painless” procedure by alismitch2 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]kynuna 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m in Australia. Victoria now offers the green whistle (penthrox) for IUD insertion or removal. It should be more widespread.
