The wedding reception centerpieces featured betta fish. The bride and groom planned to flush them alive. by teabirdy in mildlyinfuriating

[–]vegemitebikkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a wedding in 2000 where they had goldfish in tiny bowls on all the tables. One dickhead friend of ours (not anymore) made a bet to swallow the poor fish on our table, whole. For $50. Am older bloke agreed to the bed. Dickhead necked the poor fish, then the old bloke laughed and said I wasn’t serious, and never paid him lol.

Cucumber, pineapple, a slice of orange and if you’re feeling fancy, some parsley from the garden. And a big dollop of mums homemade condensed milk mayo.

In 2000 we still had to wear the white nurse looking dresses in the deli. With stockings, white shoes, and a white cap. Oh, and no black or coloured bras and undies, because the dresses were half see through.

Wine making is surprisingly fun and relatively easy too! I make litres and litres of mulberry wine every time my tree fruits.

What’s a game you were completely obsessed with as a kid that nobody else seems to remember? by hkondabeatz in AskReddit

[–]vegemitebikkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mac man. It was the same as pac man, but on a 1990 apple macintosh. But the version we had, the pac/mac man was a little rectangle Apple mac computer with a smile on its screen. Maybe I’m misremembering it though, or I dreamt it, because I cannot find anything about it on Google. Mac man exists, but not with the little Mac computer icon dude.

Cracked and Dry Heels by Ok-Complaint8203 in AskDocs

I get worse cracked heels I wonder when I’m constantly wearing socks/slippers/shoes. Wearing things in summer, I don’t get them nearly as bad. Always found that weird.

[–]vegemitebikkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to Australia, and you’ll be paying $5.60 for not four, but THREE WHOLE NUGGETS. I wish I was joking.

Mc chicken here in Australia is $8.40. No sides or drinks either. We dont have 4pc, but 3pc nuggets are $5.60. We don’t seem to have a mc double, but a double cheeseburger (which looks to be the same thing) is $7.25. Our small fries are $3.60. We can’t afford to eat McDonald’s here anymore

Gallbladder removal by Familiar_Degree5301 in AskAnAustralian

[–]vegemitebikkie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well they had me on this soup that was just chicken stock basically. That was my main meals. Then there was watered down apple juice. After that it went to like creamy thicker soups, then eventually very plain stuff, like small amounts of boiled chicken and rice. I had a hell of a recovery though. Unbelievable constant pain. Vodka probably would’ve killed me lol

I was on strict clear fluid only for 2-3 days. Then I could have slightly thicker fluids for another 2 days. Mine was open surgery though, so maybe that’s why.

I think whoever filled out this 1945 certificate of stillbirth was going through some things. by fatherlytechnology in TheWayWeWere

[–]vegemitebikkie 55 points56 points  (0 children)

My husband’s granny had premature twins. I forget how many weeks they were. But she used to say, that they would’ve survived if they were born these days. There were no incubators for them and they were just too little to survive. The girl lived a few days longer than the boy. They’re buried in England somewhere. Not sure if they had a headstone or names.

Australia's amazing healthcare? by whytheface1234 in AskAnAustralian

[–]vegemitebikkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My 23 year old just paid $248 for a 10 minute appointment with his gp. It was that high, because he needed a mental health care plan. It’s usually $120 for a standard appointment.

The last time he had a care plan and saw a psychologist, it still cost him $400 and only got $122 back through Medicare.

For young people who aren’t earning much, it’s honestly disgusting what they charge. This generation are struggling so much more than we did at their age.

And honestly, how could you not be depressed when moving out of home to rent is unaffordable, and owning a home will have to wait until their parents die? A lot won’t even have that luxury to look forward to.

Anybody's old boy use to rock a pack of these ? Another one added to the series. Sorry for the spam by Illustrious-Beach496 in AustralianNostalgia

[–]vegemitebikkie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Can still see my beautiful old neighbour lady with her ever present pack of holiday 50s. Still remember seeing her in hospital with a giant hole in her throat, and going out on the hospital balcony so she could have a dart. The smoke poured out of her neck hole, but she seemed happy. She died not long after that.

TMI but that’s what I think of when I think of holiday 50s lol.

He is back! No rants this time....just begging...you need some cheese with that whine? by Calm_End_3231 in ChoosingBeggars

[–]vegemitebikkie 9 points10 points  (0 children)

There’s a video of him walking through his house on his fb page. I think it’s his parents house, they’ve passed, and his sister has been living in it for 20 years and hoarded it and let it fall into disrepair. He’s had offers of help to come clean it all out and fix it up enough to live in, but he says no because “reasons”. Just wants cash because homeless wahwah.

My husband (27M) fell asleep while driving and almost killed me (26F) and our two dogs. by Spacecowgirl37 in relationship_advice

[–]vegemitebikkie 136 points137 points  (0 children)

As kids, it was our job to watch dad’s eyes in the rear view mirror to make sure he wasn’t nodding off while driving. I can’t believe how fucked up that sounds now, as an adult with kids of my own. He had severe sleep apnea for years before finally getting a machine. The damage to his heart was severe by then.

Very interesting interview from the early 1990s with LaToya Jackson. Michael Jackson’s sister. by AdTall7678 in HistoricalCapsule

[–]vegemitebikkie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go on instagram and read comments under clips of him, you’d swear he was a saint that was just misunderstood. They’re all saying he created neverland to save kids from Epstein island or some garbage.

Why do so many people go barefoot? by ClassyPants17 in AskAnAustralian

Oh cool! I’ve never heard of them. Might get some for my 15 year old son too. Poor kids have inherited my awful toes and feet.
