this was from the dude with the disgusting valentines card yeah?
First up, I'm sorry.
Second of all, and again sorry if this sounds rough, but I am CERTAIN you're gonna look back on this relationship and be glad its over. Probably not today or tomorrow, but that day is coming. Take a deep breath in and out, cause you're free of that asshole.
I'm sorry for the pain he has caused you, but the trash took itself out. Block them back, just in case they get drunk and weird, and leave them in the past.
Ah man. I remember how giddy and excited you were when first meeting the guy. But it sounds like it's all for the best now (what a dropkick breaking up with you via text). And you're very much ready to move on yourself.
You're better off without the guy, and I think this experience will be a great one to take note of what worked + what didn't. Pay attention to what you felt you needed from him (that kept you in the relationship) and try to find other sources for that, or interrogate the quality of what you were getting, so as to avoid going back to him in a moment of loneliness and/or inebriation ;)
He was no prize though. He was noncommittal, self centred, low effort, and consistently treated you like an option. I agree with the advice to block him everywhere in case he comes back sniffing around again. It will also stop you lurking his page and picking at wounds.
If we add up how much we spend at our usual shops, many thousands a year, it's shameful how we are treated, absolutely shameful.
And the reason they do it is so that we forget the customer shop relationship, that we have a valid expectation to be treated with respect and politeness and that we have rights.
Maybe we should start shoppers associations. The problem is in a duopoly what kind of power can we exercise?
And the racism? I suggest take videos and post about the racism.
I'm personally really looking forward to them installing those self closing gates at my local coles. If it closes on me I'm gunna wear a face mask and shout "Cant hold someone captive you profiting fucks" as I kick it down. I obviously wont be acting like that if there is young kids around.
Some great leftist thinker must have a chapter in a book about how the corporations are thrusting more of the responsibility onto us whilst also treating us as a criminal for doing so
After months of snap send solve for a mattress dumped in the park, someone spray painted "Handjob Club. Thursdays 9pm. Kids Welcome." on it and stood it up next to the scout hall entrance. Mattress gone the next day.
Very few photos are more humbling then the passport photo as someone who doesn't ware makeup. Being forced to remove your glasses when they're something I use to detract from the ugly also doesn't help🫠
Even makeup goes wrong, too. Mine looks like a complete mug shot. Seriously. Everytime I look at it I immediately can see it being splashed across some US channel. LOL.
So you guys remember that FOI request to AmbVic I was considering last month? Well I decided to go ahead and make it. They seemed a little, um, unsure about what I was asking for. They misspelt my name, deemed my request invalid because they thought I was requesting information about an ambulance attendance so they wanted ID, a phone number, and more information. Then 12 minutes later they sent me another email stating they realised I was not requesting that information (but nothing else) then an hour later sent a third email apologising stating they realised I was not requesting information about an ambulance attendance, I didn't need to provide ID, and I did not need to provide a phone number.
Well, they finally processed it and provided a list of all the branch locations and their addresses today. But they sent it as an encrypted excel workbook thing that they didn't provide me permission to open...
Also, I don't want to rag on them too much, but their emails have had so many typos and grammatical errors I found it kind of concerning.
A lot of FoI requests come from the media (Josh Taylor from The Guardian is notorious for them), or from industry groups, businesses, and parliamentary staff.
They're probably not used to media requests that have come through from the customer service team, rather than their media relations team.
Typos in internal emails are not that surprising.
Did you end up cracking the spreadsheet? Did you find out anything interesting from the documents you got?
I'm not sure but I think we are the only ape that doesn't eat mould or mouldy food . It's why we don't have a blue food group. The only reason is that we are so good at finding food we don't need to eat mouldy stuff. We can digest it, we just don't have any appetite for it.
Off foods, such as dairy or meats are different and you shouldn't eat those.
So I was at supermarket the other day, low key jamming out to Coles Radio as you do in your 30s apparently. Then they play a new taylor swift song. And something inside me just... snaps.
Previously I was like "Ok, talented artist but getting a bit over the hype". Now I think i actually hate her. Like I cant even do some shopping without having to hear her shit? The song sucked. It was all mopey and shit and felt like 0 effort, but its somehow still getting air time? I hate even posting this cause I feel like its just giving more air time, but I need to vent my frustrations. cant we all (myself included) just move on!?
Aldi would win because they don't play anything. It's probably a cost saving measure on their end but I'd rather listed to nothing than supermarket music and it's probably better for people on the spectrum as well
I barely register what's on the radio. I'm in and out in less than 15 minutes, concentrating on not forgetting anything I may need because I don't want to come back for awhile.
Temperamental car is in for a service (a waaaay overdue service, so I don’t really blame her for being temperamental!) and I’m at my desk just wishing I could have worked from home today. Was awake at stupid hours having imaginary arguments with work people.

Oh man, you've unlocked a memory of sitting at a mechanic as a twenty something waiting for the report to come in as to whats gone wrong with my piece of shit this time! I do NOT miss those days.
I have a terrible feeling I know what’s wrong with her and if so, it’s time for her to go. I might just be preparing myself for the worst, IDK. An excellently fun car, but just… too much.
Got home late today and just cannot be buggered moving all my plants around in the cold and dark. I know my landlord lives ages away so I'll just do it tomorrow. I'll definitely be leaving work at 4pm tomoz. Gotta head in early, so I'm leaving on time...
This week's off to a much better start, less overwhelming, more under control. Much more even-keeled having regular hot non caffienated drinks through the day. Meantime I'm so immensely grateful I made all that food last week. Ripper lunch today and tomorrow, and more goodness for dinner. Gonna do a bittergourd and tvp stir fry tomorrow night I reckon.
Think I'll have a go at trying to sleep without the phone tonight. I have a library book on ADHD I've been wanting to go through...
The Booktopia website is an absolute nightmare to use when you run a couple of privacy extensions. I am trying to browse the website to give you my money
Arise, arise, riders of Rohan!
Fell deeds awake, fire and slaughter!
Spear shall be shaken, shield be splintered!
A sword-day, a red day, ere the sun rises!
Ride now, ride now, ride to Gondor!
Does it feel unusually warm tonight? Feel like I'm boiling.
Meanwhile why are we still filling out paper customs declarations cards in Australia? Surely it's the kind of thing that could be made available online (where it could be translated in multiple languages).
I know there's data security to consider but they are probably already storing all sorts of data about departures and arrivals.
I think the purpose is to make you sign a declaration that you aren't a crim or a terrorist or have been deported etc etc That way if you do some dodgy shit or have done some dodgy shit they can get you for that
@Seagoon_ I'm very much a pack early/leave early person. My partner tends to leave everything to the last minute (although she's slowly learning about leaving early).
I'm the kind of person whose suitcase is fully packed a week ahead of time. She's the kind of person whose suitcase is fully packed the night before — because I've packed it.
Fucking hell boost still doesn't support spoilers and I was not prepared for this
Is it still going? If it is, I'd call the nurse on call. They'll ask some questions and advise if you should go in to hospital. Imo (not a doctor), that doesn't really look stitchable, your primary concern is probably infection, so antiseptic and gauze is probably what you need
Edit: I read 42 as 12. If it's still going now after over an hour, you should definitely call NoC
Thing is not going to kill me this is a good colour. Using a soil pH test kit (of all things) immediately headed towards acidic. That was a good ferment.
Going to blend it up tm with some vinegar to punch it down a bit more
Fermenting, like, turning into alcohol? I don't know how I feel about that, but chilli alcohol sounds kinda vile. Then again, I watched a series where a dude turned mountain dew into wine, and another where he turned peeper marshmallows into a mead and it looked kind of interesting.
Kiddo had a great weekend. We caught up with the folks from Mrs's mums group and it was great to see all his little mates. They are all within similar age as each other, but they were all so different. A few were walking, a few had a couple more words, a few were a lot bigger. Tinyest has probably 50% of his teeth and a full head of hair so he probably looked the most "non baby" of the bunch. He's currently trying to say "Dog" but has only gotten as far as "Duh" which is so damn cute.
I see that with my twins. It's almost more comforting having two kids because you can see how differently two kids in the exact same environment develop.
It is at this time, that I wish I could rip my nose off and burn it. So swollen is the tissue up there, not snot, just enflamed. Sat within my hoodie with a bowl of hot water to decongest or whatever, which provided temporary relief.
I can't breathe through it, but I am loathe to breathe through my mouth as it gets so dry. Everything fucking hurts.
I think I might go and impulse buy one of these and step up my blended drinks game. I have a blender but I only ever use it when I'm making frozen margs and it's heavy and annoying to clean.
