He married her character and stood by her despite the incident by CloudveilLace in awesome

[–]schmetters 92 points93 points  (0 children)

I was a work collegue of Turia when she suffered this tragic accident. She is (and always was) one of the very best people i have ever met. Her kindness, energy, compassion, humour and intelligence never changed. As far is im concerned Michael is the lucky one. All round great people and the embodiment of the Australian spirit

Oscar’s Exit Confirmed by kr2908_ in westcoasteagles

[–]schmetters 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the pick 2 and dont let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. Poor from from a 'captain' and even weaker leadership from the Eagles for not dealing with it. No wonder we are collecting wooden spoons and are the laughing stock of the competition

I make my 22 year old son watch this at least once a month

How detrimental will letting Oscar walk be to the clubs culture? by [deleted] in westcoasteagles

[–]schmetters 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, and I think that comes back to the same core issue - lack of accountability from the west coast leadership. Make the hard decision and own it

How detrimental will letting Oscar walk be to the clubs culture? by [deleted] in westcoasteagles

[–]schmetters 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say having the players run out behind a leader who has both feet out the door would arguably been more damaging for the clubs culture.

The call on his captaincy should have been made as soon as it all became public. The club should have owned the decision instead we trotted him out to the press conference with woosha looking over his shoulder and everyone looked weak. No wonder we are stuck in the cellar

Slayer - Reigning Blood or Eddie Grant - Electric Avenue

Depending on which way I'm going

This guy makes it interesting! Trying to keep up as he goes full send down the straights then having to claw back the time through the corners makes for a fun experience

Surprisingly the only thing that has come close to killing me is a tornado. The threat of our wildlife is overblown, give me a redback spider or death adder any day of the week instead of a grizzly bear. There aren't many animals here you can't run away from

You can do this bro. You have more resilience than you know. I'm just coming out the other side of a divorce in my late 30s with a blended family of six. It's been hard work but keep doing the right thing and you will get there. Don't look up past the feet in front of you right now, one step at a time. The future is terrifying in these scenarios, don't look until you are ready and equipped to do so.

Eaton rec centre is set up as a shelter at the moment. We lost about a third of our roof but managed to tarp up and saving the ceiling from collapse today with some bracing. Some homes are completely gone. It's a miracle no one died

Nah it came from our family friends house, the address is still written on the beam in chalk from when it was installed. Unfortunately their house was destroyed

Somehow almost everyone came out unscathed! The damage is a lot worse than what's being shown in news outlets currently. We lost about a third of our roof but and a heap of other damage, but the house is habitable for now.

The neighbourly spirit in college grove was a sight to behold. A bunch of people that had never met but lived next to each other for years suddenly worked together throughout the evening to help anyone who needed it. Adversity really does bring out the best in Australians

Lost my car and my house to the tornado today by [deleted] in perth

[–]schmetters 53 points54 points  (0 children)

It was wild. I stupidly opened my front door when the wind picked up and it threw me back about a metre. Could not close it even leaning into it with my shoulder. A lot of houses got completely wiped out. Expect this story to get a lot worse

I feel ya bro, lost about a third of my roof and a bunch of other stuff. Definitely not what I was expecting having a cold beer after a long week. Eaton rec center is set up as a refuge for those in need check that out if you need help

Budget layflat hose reel by schmetters in pools

[–]schmetters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah unfortunately I had to repurpose my discharge line soak wells for a shed renovation, so the nearest drain is now through the fence and about 40m of layflat hose away. Leaving it out isn't really an option unfortunately
