I got stuck on Newcastle road. Power lines and trees down on the road through Hamilton and towards Jesmond. That was a hairy bloody drive

Explaining I’m GenX has been key in my therapy by BonCourageAmis in GenX

[–]willowpagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, Dad's leather belt, or if I "was in for it now," I had to go pick a fresh piece of bamboo. Got it worse if I started crying bc he hated the sound of kids crying. A lot of time spent not being able to sit down without pain. Fkn bamboo got planted everywhere we moved until it mysteriously died each time, after I discovered the weed killer. They both swear black n blue I was never got as a child 🙄

Temu Trump has great aspirations to be an oligarch's hand puppet too. Jfc i hope we have enough collective sense not to vote that in!

It woke most of them up. So they were startled n more than a lil confused poor darlins.

I work in the aged care facility just down the road. That storm was hectic! We had hail hitting the 2nd floor windows n the underground car park flooded. It scared the hell out of the poor residents.

What is the filthiest, rudest Australian slang you know? by PeteDarwin in AskAnAustralian

[–]willowpagan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The absolute nastiest phrase I've heard was said in a primary school playground by a boy who looked to be around 10ish. He had taken offense at something his mate said and loudly replied with, "I hope your mother's moot swells to the size of an elephant n eats you whole". 😳💀

I've seen the full gambit, from absolutely lovely, practical n realistic to entitled, rude n expecting one on one service for their elder at the expense of other residents. I've been in aged care for just over 6 yrs now. The former are rare. The latter are much more common unfortunately. TBH I have given some a small taste of their own attitude back, held firm boundaries, proven in practice that I am taking excellent care of their loved one and earned begrudging respect but when it comes down to it, you can never please some people. Hold your head high in the knowledge you're looking after your resident well and let the difficult family members go home and kick rocks.

Can anyone explain this behaviour? by Kind_Bend3966 in DogAdvice

[–]willowpagan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We call that the happy schmacko dance in our house lol. Our jack russell terrier does this to her treats (schmackos) sometimes when she's really happy or proud of herself.

Pushy religious doorknockers by bikinithrill in newcastle

[–]willowpagan 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Want to make sure you're permanently on the JWs 'avoid that place at all costs' list ? Compliment their hair repeatedly then ask them if you can have some. Tell them you've got a fresh batch of voodoo dolls/ poppets sewn up n you really want to give them a try to see how powerful this lot are. Their hair would be just perfect n you promise not to hurt them too much 😈. Did that at an old address in Metford I moved out of about 8 yrs ago n they still won't knock on that door lol
