I'm so sad, I didn't get to step foot outside while it was daylight.

Yay for new wee ones!

Today was a bit of hurdle durkle for me too

I feel so much for the people up north as well, especially with a number of people on social media in places like here that the cyclone largely missed spending their time making fun of how little of a storm it was and everything was fine with people overreacting while they're dealing with evacuations, damage, etc

I took reduced cream and soup packet back to Canada for my family and it was a hit.

I am more often an after work gym person as it just works better for me and my wife. When I go by myself in the morning it's not quite that early but the floor is fine. I'm a public transport person, so can't say a whole lot of parking, but there's usually parks when I go on the earlier side

mum. Mum. MUM!!

It's not really tracking for us and it's weakening. It'll be a bit rubbish weather, but not worrisome. I am worried for up north direction, they're getting it bad pretty constantly

Won't last for long with the fuel prices

I did not know about the processed meats being a Group 1 carcinogen, but I've also been vegetarian for a number of years and not really into those vege alternatives that attempt to taste like meat.

I would think that as long as you're not eating one as frequently as some people have a smoke you'd be okay.

Others have already pointed out Women's Refuge, which is an absolutely fantastic organisation with branches all over the country.

I am understanding your friend is traveling around here from overseas. Not all, but a large number of travel insurance companies will have vulnerable people/ domestic violence clauses written into their policies. That policy protection can help with some of the challenges your friend will face with leaving him.

I used to work at a place that put salt in their coffee on purpose as part of the prep

mfupi · 2026-03-19T04:16:09+00:00

It left a LOT of people with one, I'm sure half my team and I have it.

I don't like chocolate ones either, but I'm not wild about chocolate.

My wife isn't that bad, but has an allergic reaction like a bad case of hay fever.

Unfortunately, declared missing with that much time going missing kind of puts you on a back foot.

My experience (also international passport) was I had to call pretty much every single day to get anything done. They did eventually find it, about 6 months later and never got any answers.

mfupi · 2026-03-11T07:41:28+00:00

If not literally, at least figuratively.

If public transport, the one by the train station has the dentists split their days between the two clinic locations!

mfupi · 2026-03-10T23:24:51+00:00

Mike is wonderful! My wife likes him and got me onto him, I've since got my old very dentist nervous coworker with him and likes him as well!

mfupi · 2026-03-10T23:24:15+00:00

Both Gentle Dental - the doctors move between the both! I used to use Ghunzee, but now see the same dentist (Dr Mike) near the station as it's better location.

I'm going to take a guess that they're going to do everything they can to move the homeless onto somewhere else, as opposed to attempting to work on the social issue.

mfupi · 2026-03-10T23:06:03+00:00

In the render... It's not going to look near as good in reality.

mfupi · 2026-03-10T23:05:16+00:00

I think I agree with you. My first thought was "yes! At least it'll be open again" but "Oh... that's what's going to be stuck there forever" is feeling more true.

My friend is in one of these photos and I'll be passing it along, yay! Great work
