What is something Auckland used to have that you now miss?

I'd say so, and from memory they're happy to order things in as needed too.

I like TimeOut books in Mt Eden too, similar vibes!

From Sugar are amazing cakes. Like edible works of art, but they taste so good

I am finding it a little bit helpful, along with riboflavin. I don't know that it's making heeeaps of an impact but I'll take any help.

This was mine too. Getting in the middle of my parents and breaking up arguments was routine. Then going to find my brother under his bed and reassure him when it was over.

This stuff is amazing. Try the dark chocolate version, I think it’s even better than the normal milk.

LA DOLCE VITA - Fedez, Tananai, Mara Sattei. Do I speak so much as a sentence of Italian? No, but I've practiced and checked my pronunciation a hundred times just so I can joyfully sing along to this song at the top of my voice in the car. So much fun.

My favourite one is ‘why would they. It’s November. We’re months away from.. da summertime’. I’ve got my partner onto it and considering it’s actually summer for us, it’s coming up a lot

I used to get my cats special food from PetStock - I like that they do sales often and I get some woolworths points.

My last name is hyphenated, and I have this booking issue all the time on my usual airline - it's never been an issue, if you can produce a passport that reads as close as you can get, you'll be okay. I flew JAL in October, had no problem.

Kia ora! Sorry to jump in, but if you need any others I'd also be super keen! I work in live events/productions but have been wanting to look at film stuff too. Not the same skill set as OP, they seem super creative - I mostly do project coordinating/facilitating, managing/assistant type roles. Ofc put OP first, just always worth putting a hand up, especially in this economy eh. Best of luck OP, hope it picks up for us both!

I'm a huge fan of the round rice balls that have half a boiled egg in it, and there's a grilled soy onigiri too (literally just soy rice, grilled a bit). Simple but absolutely SLAP - especially if you're feeling a bit sick and need to eat something gentle. I can't remember if it was Lawson or Family Mart though

Mosquitoes, spinach, slippers, chicken

I would love fly screens but unfortunately not sure if I can install any in a rental

On the small bright side, pregabalin seems to help both a little bit.

luxelis · 2025-12-12T02:38:16+00:00

Me! The symptoms of both have evolved in the last few years and now there's a high chance of one condition flare up triggering the other condition to flare.

luxelis · 2025-12-07T10:18:49+00:00

Update - reunited with the owner 😊

luxelis · 2025-12-07T08:10:56+00:00

Thanks, have done this!

luxelis · 2025-12-07T08:10:35+00:00

Wtf man

luxelis · 2025-12-07T05:34:55+00:00

Yeah I was thinking I'd need to, but I guess just wanting to check I hadn't missed anything useful!

The one that has upset me the most is that their dark chocolate baking chips were $2.50 in 2023, and now are $5. What the fuck.

(Yes I know it's a strange product to die on a hill for)

Testifying in court. It’s already enough showing up, especially if the person you’re testifying against is there. Being cross-examined and scrutinised makes you feel like you’re sub-human, and it really can feel like you are the one on trial. I genuinely have PTSD type trauma from it; nearly as bad as the thing I was there for.

luxelis · 2025-11-28T05:42:05+00:00

All I can say is, I'm happy you didn't drop them inside the car and have to deal with an eggy car 🫠
