Daily Discussion Thread: Mon 30 Oct 2023
Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Imagine, you're sitting on the couch watching the block, desperately pinning the pleats into the skirt you made too big and you go to fart, only to straight up shart. This is me currently.
oh dear
Oh no. 😂
Luckily my reflexes we're lightening fast and I stood up in time to avoid it getting on anything but my undies 😂
I don't have anything to say that's important but I will say it's monday and that's an issue until friday.
The man bought me a chocolate self-saucing pudding. It says it serves 4-6. We'll see about that.
😂 No one should ever suggest pudding serving sizes to me.
4-6 minutes
4-6 large spoonfuls.
4-6 is a kid's size
10 days later and I've got my taste back! Oh yeah.
Kids got gastro. Has had it all weekend. We thought he was better, but I just ended up covered in puke so me thinks not better.
take care 🤗😘😘
Internet in this country is an absolute rip off.
Being in Singapore the past two weeks it honestly makes me feel embarrassed what I'll be going back to (putting aside the differences in scale and density)
It’s a drag on our productivity. Fucking joke.
Current state of Melbournians: sick or about to get sick
Yep! I was planning to be sick tomorrow, but now really am. Joy.
I'm still standin! Yeah Yeah Yeah!
does hayfever count
It counts in this house. It's floored me this year
Saw a dept of health ad on fb saying there’s a Covid outbreak…..
I just dropped a full carton of eggs. Fortunately they stayed in the carton so the mess is not too bad, but dinner tonight is now confirmed as quiche.
Reminds me of an old joke:
"I would like a quickie"
"President Clinton, it's pronounced 'Quiche'".
So I'm going to get tested for coeliac disease. If it turns out I do have it, it's gonna be a little tricky to navigate at first, but I'm happy to give up pasta and bread if it means I have a better quality of life.
You can get pretty good GF pasta these days. Barilla GF pasta tastes exactly the same..bread is harder but it's definitely worth it to feel better. Hope it works out and you get an answer
Typed out something too personal and doxable and don’t want to get into it so I’m just gonna say society is fucked and I am suffering.
Life just shouldn’t be like this.
😞 hope things turn around for you. Sending good vibes your way.
Sending you many hugs.
Adding more good vibes to the vibes already sent.
gah this is so hard, i think i need to see a psych. i'm international (no medicare). any idea where to start? how much do they cost? does insurance cover it? probably will need to talk to my gp & insurance provider?
decided to try and write my daily affirmations out in a decorative circular pattern to have fun with it, maybe change the ink colours up
...and now I look like a crazy person.
Not me posting recipes like my stomach isn't wrecked and I haven't become intolerant to everything. And posting frugal tips like I didn't miss a big energy discount and am not still being charged for a non-working service I haven't got around to sorting out yet. 💸
But you know. It's better than doomscrolling, and if it helps someone else...
That wind is a bit Cray Cray innit?
winzzz howling
Sewing of covid masks continues
lunch, just peanut butter toast
I had weetbix and blueberries.
It may be the (not-Covid, hooray!) anvils in my brain or just regular overthinking. All sealed, no nuts, and some stickers for the sugarless/food dye issues. Have I missed anything?
Oh that’s lovely. Nice work!
There’s also someone up my street with a giant inflatable black cat in the yard and the head moves back and forth. Dang I should’ve taken photos.
Cheers mate. Now I get to overthink wet weather plans. F my brain 🙀
Has anyone seen Rat tests in chemists that also test for RSV? I have a feeling that may be what I have but I don't really want to deal with getting a PCR by going to a GP if I can avoid it.
Wait. You have to pay for RATs? They just give them away at shopping centers, here. The School also sent heaps home with the kids. Pretty sure they're around the workplace somewhere, as well.
I paid for some at the very beginning, but the government program giving them out started soon ater and I felt foolish.
I think you can still get the standard ones for free but I was after some that tested for RSV as well which is a newer thing.
Found some over in Glen Iris so I made my partner drive across town to bring me some. I don't have RSV ☹️ The mystery continues!
If you don’t have kids, then yeah. My workplace doesn’t have them either.
Wife has gastro. Last man standing!
Don't be bragging, you're next!
Whole family had it last week, but I dodged it by obsessive hand-washing each time I dealt with a spewing child. It is possible.
So watching my new dripper hose system fail in different parts (where I forgot to use the clips) is sparking joy. I took the pressure reducers off because it wasn't enough and now it's too much. It's so counter-intuitive. I need to break it to feel comfortable.

sky pretty
cauliflower, coconut and chicken curry for dinner, was yumm :)
Such bad allergies, crappy sleep again. Going to need caffeine to get through today.
omg, Melbourne reddit 😭😭😭
que?
some lovely chap wrote a good bye thread
I had to look since you mentioned it.
Just awful. I’ve been looking at so many YT vids on people in similar circumstances lately, this was just a little too close to home. 😭😭😭
removed duplicate thread.
Thanks.
