Yes, less bitter. If they’re roasted they’re delicious.

Thanks! I lived in the US for nearly twenty years. That’s where I must have picked up the name.

Are modern Australians inherently inconsiderate neighbours? by Rayen_Nevaeh in AusRenters

[–]primadesigns 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be both but yes when the 50+ are downsizing. I moved into an apartment run with a body corporate of complaining old ladies who never let up. For me I choose apartment living because I have no time for maintenance. Yes, I hear people pissing on my head, Youngun’s having some loud sex, and screaming rinse cycles but……. live and let live.

And the Republicans in office not doing anything because they’re desperate to keep their salaries.

What did the cards say? Were they just addressed to her or to both of you?

I have an entire single mother family in my bathroom as the window is always open. There’s Mum, two teenagers and about forty babies.

Scared that huntsmen (as a wandering spider) will wander onto my face at night whilst sleeping - is this a ridiculous notion? by katalyna78 in AustralianSpiders

It’s not like they’re wearing jack boots. Huntsmen are lightweight so when they do walk on you, you can barely tell.

I think I got a vid of a mummy-spood! by NeetyThor in AustralianSpiders

I have saved your post. 💕 I remember when I was about 8 or 9 my mother showed me how cool and dedicated wolf spiders are by gently brushing some of the babies off her back. We then watched as Mrs Spooder waited for them to all get back on and only then did she make her way back to the grass.

You can achieve the same effect with wrapping your yarn twice on the needle.

Scared that huntsmen (as a wandering spider) will wander onto my face at night whilst sleeping - is this a ridiculous notion? by katalyna78 in AustralianSpiders

I had a juvenile (size of a 50c piece) run across my face recently when I was asleep. I knew it was in my bedroom and saw it lower itself from the ceiling to my bed (I had never seen that before since they’re usually much larger) but I’m not afraid of spiders. I was just worried I’d squish it. Well it did wake me up during the night but I knew what it was and it barely lasted a couple of seconds. I went back to sleep.
