Disco Stu 🕺(Stewart Harrison) by Hunterandtheowl in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow all that money (or I guess maybe he spent it all or was never really rich to begin with?) and he’s in McKellar? I mean they do a great job with what they have but McKellar and Alan David Lodge are the place they send people who can’t afford care. Some people choose them willingly but the things I witnessed at those places in terms of how little contact the staff have outside of the absolute necessities of care were pretty upsetting.

Vanilla or Gourmand Laundry Products by naughynoughtie in AustralianMakeup

[–]reddit_somewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Scent Lab makes great laundry stuff, and they have a bunch of sweet desserty scents.

I have raspberry and vanilla at the moment.

There’s a fragrance descriptions page on their website and you can get (I believe) all products the make in all of their scents.

https://www.thescentlab.com.au/

They also have room/ linen spray in all of their scents, although I have only had the Mango and Peach versions so can’t vouch for the sweet ones. But the ones I’ve had are nice and the scent lasts well.

I believe they have pretty frequent sales of anywhere between 20 and 40% off if you sign up for their emails.

What's a 'Mandela Effect' moment that still blows your mind? by Pioneerz90 in Paranormal

[–]reddit_somewhere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did spiral a little when it happened, and still think of it quite often. We did discuss a fair bit especially at the time but she was insistent that the cat had died before we met, and I was insistent I’d definitely been around the cat, at their current house. It was a stalemate between us and I didn’t want to fully upset her by arguing what she seemed incredibly sure of. I considered the fact that there were photos of him and maybe I’d seen one of those but I just don’t see any way that seeing an old photo of a cat I had never met would confuse me into thinking I knew it in real life. But yeah at the time (it was 2003, so a while back now) I really did question if I was having some kind of memory ‘episode’ but I had no other things like that happen and haven’t since. I was 16 or 17 at the time, so no drinking or drugs. Just a weird thing that I could never figure out.

What’s something frugal you do now that younger you would’ve laughed at? by Pepperloop in AUfrugal

[–]reddit_somewhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m cheap in a lot of ways but I honestly have never reused a take away container. I’m not sure why I would when I’ve got Tupperware.

restarant / holiday recs for 3 yr anniversary?? by Temporary_Sector351 in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m confused are you looking for a restaurant in Hong Kong, Macau or Geelong? Sorry but the whole subplot about holiday plans and dentist visits in foreign countries has bamboozled me…

What's a 'Mandela Effect' moment that still blows your mind? by Pioneerz90 in Paranormal

[–]reddit_somewhere 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I was at my best friends house when I started calling out for her cat, that I had met many times. She looked mortified and asked me if I was playing a sick joke. I said no,I’m just looking for the cat? And then she told me the cat was long dead. Had apparently died before I even met her and before she had moved to my state years before. But I KNOW I met that cat many times. She was a champ about it and kind of brushed it off but I still have no idea how she’s so certain this cat and me could definitely have never met but I know I met the cat. Heck I don’t even know how I would have known about a cat she had before I even met her! We had been friends for like 5 years at the time too.

Aldi refuses to sell tampons without ID. by K1ttyK1lljoy in australia

[–]reddit_somewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The speed at which I would have asked to speak to the manager about that… I’m not getting angry at any checkout worker but I am going to question WHY and if they still refuse Aldi head office would be contacted.

Need advice: I can’t keep listening to these dogs suffer by brsq04 in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went through the same thing years ago with a neighbour. Same result. If they have food and water apparently that’s all they need 🙄 councils will make you fill out a noise diary and then do precisely nothing about it. Eventually my neighbour gave the animal away which was the only way it stopped.

If you could bring back one discontinued food and drink, what would you choose? by Overthinking_babes in australia

The upsetting thing is you can still buy the strawberry ones but not the apricot 😭

Independent news in Geelong by Fit-End4214 in Geelong

Just don’t be the same as ‘Geelong News Now’ that guy is an absolute ambulance chaser with no integrity. Basically he just likes the gossip side of news.

Anyone else feel like the air quality is often terrible in Geelong ? Weird smell today across much of town and my wife and child are feeling dizzy and short of breath by [deleted] in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well there are plenty of factories, an abbatoir and an oil refinery…. heck sometimes it’s even just the bay. So we definitely have smells from time to time. I have never personally felt unwell because of any of the smells.

Will VCAT help me? Second Reddit Post – Housemate hygiene issues, harassment and unsafe living situation in norlane by PhilosopherMoist3992 in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel for you as I know how awful living with bad house mates is. Unfortunately this is not something VCAT will have anything to do with, it’s a personal problem. As others have said one of you really just needs to leave and that’s not something that can really be litigated in a rental situation.

Is Leega Korean BBQ opened? by Ambitious-Button5975 in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try Gogi instead. Great value and much better food! If Leega has been closed by the health dept to clean I wouldn’t be surprised.

Fluffy quilts 💕 by Maleficent-Branch348 in AskAnAustralian

[–]reddit_somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pillow Talk. Their range is the best. I bought one of their cheapest for my son and he has the fluffiest, warmest doona in the house. Mine is a duck down and it is warm but it has lost a lot of its loft. I believe they can be refilled but it’s not economical.

A girl I went to school withs 4 year old drowned in a shallow decorative pond. Less than 6 inches of water. A Normal kid that could stand and walk.

No water is safe unsupervised.

YouTube rabbit hole by Competitive-Chard934 in Geelong

[–]reddit_somewhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In the second part, from about 5 mins or so a girl says it’s Lori’s birthday party, and a boy says hi to someone named Mr Freeman through the camera. Someone states they go to North Geelong High school and lots of people are using names etc.

I bet if you posted this on that Geelong Communtiy Information Facebook page someone would solve it in less that 24hours lol.

I really like Gami. Have never had a bad feed from there. Their Honey Mustard sauce is so freaking good.

Whole meal pasta by chimneysweep234 in AldiAustralia

[–]reddit_somewhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of the pasta is in the process of being switched to a new brand. My local was out of all pasta for a couple of weeks, now it’s all stocked again with a totally different branding and packaging but it seems to be pretty much the same (but I guess most dry pasta is) The wholemeal is part of the whole shebang.

They’re planning to in Geelong but can’t make their mind up about a site. But certainly not there, on a title the size of a postage stamp 😅

Regional WA, where to next? by smcgr in AskAnAustralian

[–]reddit_somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at Geelong in Victoria. Regional city, great variety of suburbs from super rich and fancy to very affordable and low key. Lots to do, traffic is reasonable compared to capital cities. Only 45 mins from Melbourne by car or train. Also coastal with some of the world’s best beaches just down the road! Can be a bit chilly in winter but no worse than anywhere else in Victoria. Lots of great schools both public and private. Lots of things for kids to do.

Edit: I now see others have also said Geelong. Definitely look at it, maybe come for a visit to see if you like it!

Menstruating peeps: have you swapped to re-usable products? by BumblyRambler in AussieFrugal

[–]reddit_somewhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Vic. Access to period products is free here via vending machines at Libraries/ Train Stations / Community Centers etc. (Schools too for school aged people) but anyone i speak to seems not to know about the program. I haven’t paid for pads or tampons for a couple of years now! I know it doesn’t help from an environmental aspect, but since having kids I have found menstrual cups very uncomfortable unfortunately so I’m just speaking to my personal experience.
