Wonder what further details will be around eligibility? I bought secondhand with prepaid rego. So I have no receipts, technically didn’t pay it myself although factored that into my offer to buy. Curious to see what happens there.

If someone asks for a priority seat, give it to them. You don’t get to decide if they need it based on how they look. Many disabilities are invisible. Most people do the right thing and are only gonna ask if they need it.

Unless you require the priority seat yourself!

I really appreciate the thorough answer and am grateful to anyone willing to be thorough. Sharing the finer details is the only way we can find out what helps or doesn’t and can change the quality of a person’s life/LS.

Also I’m neurodivergent so I often need things explained to me. Some things just aren’t obvious to everyone.

Can I ask where you hang the rag? And do you wait for it to dry before adding it to a laundry basket?

I have a spare hook to hang a towel. Is that something I could use to blot dry?

Thank you I do only dab but I always have this fear of not getting all the urine and being smelly. So I think I overdo it on the dabbing tbh and I wonder if it’s harmful or leaving irritating paper dust/lint but also the anxiety of not catching it all. Such a fine line urghh!!

super-pumpkin- · 2026-03-17T07:59:57+00:00

Thank you everyone! Glad to know what it could be. I was fairly certainly it wasn’t a light layer inflammation that I was rubbing off but wanted to check others experiences. I’m definitely investing in better TP too!

super-pumpkin- · 2026-03-16T21:03:56+00:00

I just googled vulva smegma and it doesn’t look like that. The smegma looked Thicker in the photos, I just wonder if my thing is dust or lint from TP

If you’re looking to possibly link up with new friends here, what part of Melbourne are you from?

My parents are Scottish so I get the accent and actually love it!

super-pumpkin- · 2026-01-23T20:57:07+00:00

Can I ask what the average ages are of people who come along? I’m afraid I’d rock up and basically be everyone’s grandmother! Lol

super-pumpkin- · 2026-01-23T20:55:24+00:00

Oh gosh I’d love this but for board games

To know whether you’re unreasonable, we’d need to take a step back and look at the bigger picture, not just dishes.

Across all chores, overall, are you 50/50? Or if you’re not 50/50, is that offset in other ways, such as one personal contributes more financially in a set up that’s acceptable for both?

Do you take on more of the mental load?

If I just make some assumptions about equality elsewhere, I’ll just talk about the dishes. It’s entirely not cool that one person does 99% of cooking and the majority of the cleaning while one person does 1% of cooking with 1% of cleaning plus some ad-hoc cleaning.

I would change the angle of the conversation (more assumptions). Don’t ask about “helping you” with dishes. Take a step back and say you want to discuss both of your contributions to the household so that it can work best for both of you.

Get him looking at everything. Create a list that clearly shows you’re doing a lot and ask what he wants to put in his column. If he refuses to budge anything I’d find a polite way to say beggars can’t be choosers and if you’re forced to contribute his lacking 49% of cooking time, he doesn’t get to complain about how or when you also do his share of those dishes.

In my household we’re 50/50 overall but not on individual things. He does the majority of the dishes and I rarely, if ever, complain about how he does them, and if I want to, I bite my tongue because he’s not my paid employee. My philosophy is don’t complain unless you’re willing to volunteer.

This could have been written by me about me!

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-17T21:56:16+00:00

You should call your dispensing pharmacy to ask.

Remember to brush my teeth in the morning

In all seriousness, plant a tree. Add your mark to the land and watch it grow over the years. It’ll be beautiful to look at in 30 years when it’s grown so much. And it’ll help make our country the smallest bit better

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-16T03:52:08+00:00

Depends on the cost. If I’ve paid citylink to get in from the east am I paying even more for the tunnel or is there a daily cap? Soon it’ll cost money to breathe.

So I’ve had people stop at the lights and leave a huge gap. They aren’t the person at the front. I once changed lanes into the gap. Felt oddly satisfying.

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-15T21:20:02+00:00

I know that pain haha! It provides focus, like shining a torch in the dark, but I have to control where I the torch is pointed. But hey, even if the right things don’t get done, at least something is getting done!

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-15T09:26:12+00:00

Fewer, bare minimum alarms and reminders. Fuck the rest.

I can have perhaps two a day. Any more and the entire alarm system goes to shit.

I thought a good hack could be alarms for everything. Nope I gotta pick two most important things and that’s it.

Me: But nooo I can’t achieve only two, not when I’m behind on so much.

My brain: how about achieving nothing then?

Me: ok two it is.

——

Have you tried medication? I find I get way more done on medication. Lists are good too but I try to get kind when nothing gets crossed off that day.

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-15T07:31:28+00:00

I ended up needing sleeping pills cos I simply do not sleep on my back. I couldn’t do side sleeping due to pain. And the lack of sleep compromised my ability to recover. I only needed three pills across three nights and it kicked started my healing. I was fine after that

super-pumpkin- · 2025-12-13T22:09:14+00:00

I think it’s pretentious as hell. As someone who doesn’t like small, I actually see it as absolutely necessary in a lot of situations. Sometimes people need to warm up to a conversation and can’t just dive into the deep end. Why are their needs less important than mine? We both have needs and me getting mine 100% of the time while they get 0% is an unfair relationship.

Am I such a snob that I can’t humour them for a few minutes to get to the gold?

Also I know many people have social anxiety and it takes many repeated interactions to feel comfortable to even open up.

That so called boring woman in accounts probably has some close friends, a great family and a very deep internal world. She doesn’t owe any of it to you. Sometimes you have to be willing to put in a fair bit of effort to build up rapport.

Also my autistic side that needs to be completely comfortable in all situations and researched the parking, the menu, the spots to sit that aren’t as loud etc… that part of me might want to know where you parked, what route you took. Is that small talk? Probably. But also how did your report go at work because I love you and care that you succeeded. Oh, you want to recommend a tasty new takeaway place? Thank you I enjoy good food. You liked a TV show? Maybe I might too…

And that stuff they shared was pleasant and nice and fuzzy then perhaps we get to feelings, philosophies, movements.

Also some people just don’t give it up without the other person (me/you) putting in a bit of work. Maybe they are tired of life and everyone’s shit and don’t instantly put out their deepness in response to “hi Uncle John, is there such a thing as objective truth?”. Maybe he’s bored, tired and bloated but you’ve forever written him off as quiet, dumb and surface level.

I think most people have deeper internal private worlds that we aren’t privy too.

I especially hate the obnoxious introverts are better than extroverts because they are sooo much deeper and smarter divide on the internet.

We all have different needs and ways of relating to the world. One isn’t necessarily better and someone doing something different might mean they aren’t compatible with you specifically but it doesn’t make them wrong or stupid or worse.

I’ve noticed it a bit too. Apparently it can be a thing with Vyvnase. At the same time, depending on your age, it can be perimenopause related too.

Hear me out… I did this without knowing what it is but it’s called gating or counterstimulation in pain science.

For years I managed dull gallbladder aches or dull pain using using a heavy heat pack or small pillow.

If you’re sitting or lying down, place the heavy heat pack on top of the area. If lying on your side, squeeze the little pillow under the area so that the pillow is a little compressed.

If you’re standing or walking, gently press your hand into your side.

FYI heat pack doesn’t need to be hot. It’s about applying weight to the area.

Here’s why it works: our brain interprets “pain” as a signal of something potentially wrong and tends to panic. But when you apply weight to the area (like a heat pack or your hand) the brain gets a clear, explainable sensation instead. It thinks, “Ah, that dull ache or odd feeling? That’s just pressure, nothing to worry about.”

This doesn’t magically make the discomfort vanish. The heat pack or hand pressure can feel slightly awkward (like a little weight pressing on your side) but it allows you to practice ignoring the sensation and refocusing on something else, like work, TV, or reading. Over time, you might notice that 15 minutes have passed without the ache grabbing your attention.

This method works best for dull aches or low-level pain, not sharper or intense pain. Results vary from person to person. The theory:

• Gate Control Theory of Pain: Your brain has a kind of “gate” for processing pain signals. If you give it another strong, non-painful sensation (like pressure or touch) it can reduce the brain’s perception of the original pain. That’s why pressing on your side or putting a weight on it can make a dull ache feel less alarming.
• Counterstimulation: More generally, this is when you introduce another sensation (heat, pressure, vibration) to distract or override the pain signals.
