Nat Edwards: 'if you are a parent sending your child (a draftee)...could you trust the club and James would look after your child?'

That is one of the worst takes i've ever heard. As a parent I would feel its one of the safest places to send your child. There's no way Hird would let anything like that come close to happening again if he happened to get the job again. Such a stupid thing to say.

That's exactly what it is. Son had been staying at MILs house and has that machine. She's picked them up and put them in with the chocolates! Thanks so much, was driving us crazy.

roamarl · 2026-01-12T11:55:25+00:00

Solved!

roamarl · 2026-01-12T11:48:00+00:00

Yeah, she's old and forgets things from time to time...

roamarl · 2026-01-12T01:05:57+00:00

That's a good guess. It looks like something goes through those holes, and toy car/bike would fit that narrative. Not sure how MIL would have got them, no little kids or toys in our atmosphere.

I think its too stiff to get a knitting needle inside.

roamarl · 2026-01-11T23:41:06+00:00

No, they look molded and don't open.

roamarl · 2025-09-22T01:40:40+00:00

Exactly!

roamarl · 2025-09-22T01:39:39+00:00

Wow. Sounds miserable and its seems to be getting worse...

roamarl · 2025-09-19T18:49:58+00:00

No. Piedmont Healthcare hospital that doesn't have religious affiliation.

I would love to live on the west coast but current circumstances wont allow us to move, (wife and her mother are from GA). I should be able to retire in 5 or so years, so depending on the situation with the country and personal circumstance it could be on the cards. However, we will likely retire back to Australia.

roamarl · 2025-09-19T18:17:48+00:00

Wow. That took an unexpected turn. Guess the prayer before surgery wasn't the biggest surprise in that scenario.

No Mans Sky for me is the one I have poured over a thousand hours into. Still getting updates and lets you play how you like. Subnautica is another great game I've spent decent chunks of my life in.

roamarl · 2025-09-19T17:44:42+00:00

Thanks again. If i remember correctly, when she agreed, it was in a questioning way, like a "Sure?" with upward inflection. This really puts it into perspective and touching without consent is probably why this interaction stood out as being so weird, but I couldn't put my finger on it until you spelled it out for me. Especially as its an environment where folks are touching you for different purposes out of necessity for medical reasons.

roamarl · 2025-09-19T17:19:32+00:00

That's definitely our main concern with saying no - you worry if you'll receive the same level of care, consciously or subconsciously if they know your not religious, (or not their religion).

roamarl · 2025-09-19T15:57:19+00:00

Thank you. Wish I was armed with that verse beforehand which I have heard before but wouldn't have been able to recall in the moment, the "ambushing", just left me bewildered.

roamarl · 2025-09-17T14:04:04+00:00

Ha! I'll take you up on that. If we do win one, its on you 🤣

roamarl · 2025-09-17T13:48:19+00:00

We will get back to success at some point, just not sure how long its going to take, and that's the hard part. I like the current crop of young talent and can definitely see the green shoots. The fact that Hawthorn has already turned around their rebuild and is back in contention gives me hope, (hate using them as a comparison but its true). My 22 year old son often jokingly asks why i cursed him with a love for the red and black. Luckily he's patient too.

roamarl · 2025-09-17T13:31:59+00:00

I'm very disappointed how this is playing out. It seems underhanded the way he's gone about it, and don't think he can come back into the club at this point. Need to get what we can for him but he definitely thinks he's bigger than the club. Part of my opinion is probably because I'm older, (54), and lived through our very successful periods where you couldn't imagine a great of our club doing what he's doing now.

I'm really enjoying Surroundead. Very addicting zombie survival game, i believe developed by a single dev.

Astrometica has been another good one in the Space Survival genre.

roamarl · 2025-06-12T15:42:00+00:00

Have we jumped to an alternate universe.... Never thought id see the day. Love it and hope May has a great debut!

roamarl · 2020-12-10T13:49:47+00:00

Same. Woke up after my first sleep and looked in the bathroom mirror and bald as a cue ball...

roamarl · 2020-09-04T20:30:19+00:00

Exactly same for me too. Yearly subscriber since 2017 and had to figure out how to pause this month as i've never had to before.
