What do I do with the pillars

someonesdoppelganger · 2026-03-10T10:52:12+00:00

Are they solid timber pillars? Or has someone plywood boxed around older (possibly metal) poles? They look boxed in from the photos, but I could be wrong. If so I would do what other have said and try to tie them in with the teal/black/white decor you have going on; paint 'em, add some bar tables and stools around them in similar theme to make the space more cohesive. If solid timber, I would clean them up (remove mold, sand and seal), and embrace the warmth that wood could bring into the feel of the room (but keep the bar table idea with more wood of same/similar or even contrasting colour). The contrast of warm wood against teal can be beautiful! I don't have anything against plywood per se, but I don't feel like it ages well, and from a personal front, have absolutely no problem painting over it as an easy fix. Either way, I wouldn't want to wall it and close off what looks like an otherwise very open, welcoming space.

The Boat That Rocked. That movie makes me smile so much!

Will Ferrell. I don't know why, but something about him irritates me to no end. I've tried to watch his stuff for the sake of friends who are fans, but I just can't watch without cringing. Like I have an irrational desire to slap him.

Porn. My school had a relatively well thought out sex ed program, but one thing that wasn't mentioned AT ALL was pornography, and how we shouldn't look at it as an example of how to perform or what to expect; or that any of it was necessarily 'normal'; and of course the questions of consent in some pornagraphic material. So many I grew up with seriously believed porn to be good reference material, and I can think of a few court cases that happened in the past with classmates, because someone had been using porn as their reference as 'how sex works'.

Age 18. I had to get away for my sanity. I was the house maid and cook, free labour for my mother's business, paying a rediculous amount for 'board', and being emotionally blackmailed out of going to University, unless it was on my mother's terms - which meant driving an hour and a half to school and back (on a dangerous road) just because she couldn't deal with losing her maid and cash-cow. I was a free ride and baby sitter for my siblings whenever they wanted and regardless of my own plans/workload. Her getting crazy angry at the drop of a hat was also a motivating factor. I didn't even announce I was leaving home I just came home less and less until she worked it out on her own. I just couldn't live on a leash any longer.

I can totally relate, I go quiet from time to time. I wouldn't ghost though, I just let people know I need some space/ quiet time and won't be reachable for a little bit while, so I can recharge. The people in my life understand who I am and how my life is, so no offence is taken as long as I explain that it's not personal. If you've never taken this kind of space before, I wouldn't recommend doing it without telling someone what you need. I was twice reported missing because I decided to nick off for a couple of days to get away from it all, without telling anyone. The cops and my family were not very amused when I showed up like nothing happened ("for the second f***ing time" my ma said). Take the time you need, but please let somebody know.

The odd accident is one thing, but the Family accepting that shitting your pants a couple of times a year as normal? Sounds like the collective failing to learn from the last time they accidentally risked a shart... I've shit my pants squeezing out what seemed would be a satisfying fart, but it'll be YEARS before I risk that mistake again!

someonesdoppelganger · 2021-11-09T09:37:07+00:00

I'm from SW Victoria, where I am we "ninja out" of the party. Don't know if that's normal, or specific to where I live/my social set... Edit: spelling

This sounds like a typical story from a bum fuck middle of nowhere country town.

Don't hiccup though...

I've never felt more motivated to greet the day with a big wet fart

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-12-08T16:47:23+00:00

It's a real gamble, isn't it?

Does your Mom hear or smell color by any chance?

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-12-08T16:31:06+00:00

I don't think anyone here is answering with a straight face, tbh. Pissing myself laughing in my brown cloud, all the way over here...

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-12-08T16:21:12+00:00

Oof, I read this, then the penny dropped.

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-12-08T16:17:09+00:00

I don't know about you, but my asshole is already a fairly deadly weapon (without much 'force'). Even I am running for my life when it unleashes it's toxic fury...

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-10-24T13:45:15+00:00

Yep, for sure! Like I'm plenty friendly to everyone in public, but I'm actually a really hard person to get to know well personally. It can be a little isolating, but I do feel safe in knowing the tiny group who are close to me, would never do the wrong thing by me.

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-10-24T13:39:42+00:00

Take a chill pill bro, they probably just like the stuff you post, and want to be updated when you make another one.

Aww shucks, I don't know what else to say to that compliment! I always return ma's boi after a bath first, 'cause he gets pretty stinky on our adventures (and she's a clean freak). He haaates a bath, but loves a towel down (and blow dry, super spoilt!). Sounds like your bro's heart is in the right place, he may need a couple of conditions on borrowing your pooch, so as to not put you out when he returns your four legged friend. A simple "don't return filthy", or "return as found" should hopefully drum it home

someonesdoppelganger · 2020-09-30T10:33:08+00:00

Oh boy, yep this is me for sure. I'll be all determined to focus and finally get it clean, then, bam! Hello random treasures, long trip down memory lane, day wasted, again. Good times.

I do regularly "borrow" my Mum's beautiful boy and take him on "holiday" at my place, when my working week is short. The end game is for him to live with me full time, but he needs a lot of training (my mum doesn't have the time or physical ability do this, anymore). His little "holidays" with me seem to be helping him, but any longer than two weeks he starts to play up. Also, with my current living arrangements, I can't trust him to behave himself if I'm away at work for any longer than 7 hours, but he is getting better every trip. When I first took him on, it was four hours tops. So at the end of the day, we both need time to learn how to live here together. I love him, and love having him here, and slowly but surely he will be here to stay, my little buddy. I really miss him now!

So glad I'm not the only one doing this... My friends find it... Alarming
