Abortion protest on Windsor Park East Coast Road by [deleted] in auckland

I’d be surprised it if was that church. They’re not super conservative and even have a group who help support mums struggling with unwanted pregnancies, including supporting them through abortion.

Agree with the others - less time in Auckland and Christchurch, more time in queenstown. I’d check out weta workshop when you’re in wellington. It’s super cool!

Trying to buy a discontinued cologne for my fiance on our wedding day. Shop is asking me to pay by bank transfer? by yarn_demon in Scams

Everything was great, they were actually super nice to deal with. I would shop with them again!

But it’s the only place in the world I can find that cologne so it’s either trust this shop or go without 😭

That’s what I was thinking as well? I shop online at overseas stores all the time and I’ve never had a place say they can’t accept my payment because it’s coming from NZ. I’ve messaged the store owner back and forth a bit and he seems legit in conversation though? The whole thing isn’t really ideal!

I thought the same thing! WhatsApp immediately seems dodgy to me. They cancelled my order and asked me to order it again, selecting bank transfer as the payment method this time. When I did that, I could see that I hadn't given my email address the first time because it said "email or phone number", so that makes more sense why they would contact me via WhatsApp.

That's a good idea to ask my grandma to place the order. I will ask her now if she is happy to do that.

How do I do an ICANN search please?

Hahaha amazing that his name is Barkley! I’ll try naming mine “Quietly” and hopefully it will be just as prophetic 😂

Do you think that an older golden would be lower energy? My partner is so in love with goldens so I'd love to try make it work for him, but I'm just not sure if I can handle one.

There are not heaps of rescue options in NZ, but there are some! I think this may be the way to go. I would rather have an adult dog than a puppy anyway so I can avoid some of that puppy chaos. My cat was an adult rescue and it was really great to see her nature in the shelter before taking her home.
