Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
So I know I always call him Mr. Omoikiri but that’s just for ease because he’s my human and he has been for a long time and we always knew we were stuck with each other for forever. But I guess he really is (soon to be) mr. Omoikiri now
spoiler
Congratulations 🎉 After the vanilla slice incident he did owe you big time though.
He was on thin ice after that
hah I'd forgotten about that.
Maybe he's making up for it by proposing.
oooh congrats!
Congrats! That is a lovely ring
Omg congratulations!
To Mr and Mrs Omoikiri! 🥂
CONGRATULATIONS!
Also, nice ring.Shiny!
Congrats!
That's a nice ring there too.
Hope you're both very happy!
I was always against the idea of diamonds, but mr Omoikiri thinks we’d best have something we can hawk in case the internet goes down and/or we have a zombie apocalypse and everything goes to shit.
FUCK YEAH! Oh that's bloody awesome! Congratulations!
(Also spoilers work on the Jebora app that's great!)
aww, congratulations to you both.
Congratulations!!! What a lovely ring!
Congrats to both of you.
CONGRATS!!
🖤🖤🖤
Yay, congratulations!
Congratulations! So happy for you!
Congrats to you both. Looks like serious conversation turned out to be super cereal! 💍
Congrats!🥂
Congratulations to you both 🎉🎉
Congratulations! This is so lovely ❤️
Congratulations 🎉🎉 exciting news!

Congratulations! 🍾🎉🥂
Yay! Congrats! 🥳
Congrats!
The changes I have been making to diet, exercise & no alcohol have been doing me good. In the past I was constantly running out of sick leave, now I have just passed one year without taking a single day. I now understand how people can end up with such high leave balances.
Dodgy property developers on Four Corners tonight. I have laid in a supply of popcorn. Should be fun.
Oh the man is not well. This is about the 4th cold he's ever had in the 28 years that I've known him. I'm keeping busy prepping because if I go down too the kid will have to look after us and she only knows how to cook 2 minute noodles and scrambled eggs. I did however show her how to use the airfryer. Please pray for us.
Oh no, how bad is it?
Plenty of bedrest and fluids and if you want you can try some cold and flu tablets or Armaforce.
You can't get sick, not with the Ashes coming up on Wednesday night!
Just your common cold. I'm keeping him drugged so he won't be any trouble at all.
Given how much you cook for your fam just drop a stack of recipes on the kitchen bench and say it's time you stepped up kiddo.
Oh she'd do it for sure.
Oh noooo fingers and toes crossed for you. Hope you managed to stay away from the germs 🤞🤞🤞
Thank you.
Bit the bullet and got a med cert through to Wednesday. I still have some unavoidable work things but this will significantly help reduce the timesheet anxiety
Very nice, I hope you get some well deserved rest!
You just gotta do what you can do (he says knowing that he's taking a mental health day tomorrow following my psych session in the morning). Here's hoping you're able to get some rest and recovery in over the next couple of days.
I don't think I'll get too much today (morning was a writeoff but I'm finally sat in front of the puter to clear the most urgent things so that I can fully switch off the next two days). I really just want to stare into space for a couple of days without that nagging guilt
Ugh, I need to do something about my weight, wearing office clothes again has me acutely aware of just how much I've gained in the last few years. Just feels so out of my control due to working shift work and often doing shifts up to 12hrs long, I just work, sleep, and eat because I'm miserable about it all.
Just returned from hospital. Honestly thought I was having a heart attack last night. So thankful to be back home with my kids again. I think I’ll keep them home from school today and spend the day with them.
Oooh goodness, glad you're alright. We've had those kinds of scares in this household before, important to get it properly checked out.
My uncle and cousin (from 2 different families -- my paternal uncle via marriage and my maternal cousin) both had heart attacks and it's not fun. They're also both like active-ish, I know my uncle looks like a long bean, he's a massive cyclist. So doesn't matter what active level you are tbh. But I'm glad to hear you're okay, and yes spend time with your kids! Because you never know when you don't see them again.
We ate already. Used the new crockery for Korean ramen, mushrooms, bok choy, coriander, crunchy noodles, gyozas, an egg and Kimchi on the side. Little dog is very confused about the time. I promised the kid if she's hungry later we'll have mini pizzas or chips and gravy.
Zoo trip was achieved. Feet are sore. I walked there and most the way back. 🤨
I went on a mini African safari by seeking out all the African animals. Except the gorillas, I feel too ashamed to look at gorilla people that are effectively sentient caged slaves.
The baboons did their baboon stuff, lazing on warm rocks in the sun, grooming, wanking, teasing each other, shoving their bum against the glass windows to give spectators an intimate view. The little bastards would run off laughing.
Lemurs are actually marsupilamis . I always knew this and seeing their hanging nests confirmed it.
Giraffes were sweet. The lions were sleeping in the sun. They have cute tufts of fur under their arms.
Bin chickens, native to Northern Victoria, have taken residence en masse in the crowns of tall palm trees, making messes, skwarking and shredding the vegetation.
So, at the start of the year my regular GP said that I "probably have chronic fatigue" and that it's likely due to my depression. But lately my depression has been okay (anxiety, okay maybe not so much but I've been under far better control all things considered). And yet the feeling has come back of being super tired, headache, with pain at the back of my neck/top of my spine.
Anyway, found someone locally who specialises in chronic fatigue. He's away on holidays as of today though, so it'll be a while before I even set up a chat with him. Still, I'm hoping maybe it can lead to a bit more than a vague diagnosis with no real plan.
Hopefully you can get some answers!
Some days the HR office has a revolving door and it's a non-stop day of people stepping in. No time for a break. Barely time for hydration and bathroom.
Tomorrow I'm cheering up my manager and I by getting us out of the office to buy some more spicy nuts in our lunch break.
We'll get to make jokes about spicy nuts, get out of the office, and get some tasty snacks.
I see this as a win.
Nothing ever goes wrong buttering someone up with spicy nuts.
And we score at least a day of innuendos of hot nuts and the lines.
I live for moments like these
That sounds like a lovely plan.
I have almost reached 50 reviews/ratings on goodreads. That's about how exciting my life is these days.
What are you all excited/happy about recently?
Made stir fry noodles for dinner using Nagi’s all purpose sauce recipe. It worked out very nice. Recently have started listening to audiobooks. This is related because for first time listened whilst making dinner, and I very much liked the combo of the activities.
I’m happy to rest and stay warm tonight.
Not very ambitious though.
Might go charge my headphones and immerse myself in music for a bit later
I read a whole book yesterday! I haven't read a book in ages, it's called Wimmera by Mark Brandi. I used to be the sort of person who'd be reading 6 books at once, even as a child. But after I had a breakdown around 15 years ago I found I no longer had the concentration to read. I'd read the same few pages repeatedly and keep forgetting things, or be unable to grasp it somehow and give up in frustration and befuddled sadness. I found this book very engaging and, due to the places and times of the setting, very familiar also. So I finally read a book again. That was my excitement for the weekend!
It's a bloody beautiful day, I'm going to the zoo.
I'm going to the zoo zoo zoo
How about you you you
You can come too too too
I'm going to the zoo zoo zooI'd don't know where that came from but have a good time anyway.
Say hi to the lemurs for me
Lucky duck... I've got to go walk around a Kmart for 3 hours (I hate shopping, in case you couldn't guess)
I'm very early to Lizzo but my anxiety is soothed because I'm here and in the correct seat.
Hope you have a great concert.
When it begins you’re fully going to enjoy yourself and forget about everything else.
Better to be early than late. Hope the show is awesome!
It was amazing, worth being there early for! Lol
Have a great time. 😊
Have an amazing time!! I'm meant to be there but had to give up my ticket because I'm sick. I'd be more pissed at my body, but I saw her on Friday in Perth. Enjoy every moment, she's AMAAAAAZING!!!
SHE WAS AMAZING!! I'm going to her show again tomorrow but kind of wish I had a GA ticket lol
Anyone travelling to the city on the Mernda line is in for an interesting trip.
Our train was stopped at Reservoir, and is not connecting to the city.
Some kind of point failure in the line ahead.
Fun times.
yo ho ho a weeding I did go.
(Slowly untangling the horrible fact that all the things I fucking love doing have been tied up in a BIG TIME TRAUMA and now nothing feels like fun it all feels like duty. So on advice I go out and do something and then just drop it and fuck off when it stops being fun. I've been given a sociopath license!!)
I read the first part as "wedding" and thought holy fuck, what kind of wedding would result in the follow up statement. Then I read "weeding" and realised that both statements aren't connected. But if they were, holy fuck, what kind of weeding would result in the follow up statement!?
The advice you received though... that's gold, right there.
I like to fuck around and garden and build ridiculous things and generally be an obnoxiously bogan builder. But there's a lot of shit tied up in these things with the forced eviction, having to destroy 16 years of work, then moving and renovating under the gun (which I did most of because I do love His Lordship, but he's all thumbs) so all my stressors got tied up in the fun stuff. So I'm having to relearn the fun of them. It's rather poo.
Beautiful day to be outside!
E: was in a rush before and missed the main gist of your comment - hope that the trauma fades and you find joy in the things you love again. I like the ‘drop it til you’re ready’ advice, too
fun thing is I can't "drop it" drop it as there's a lot of work that I need to do before this oncoming summer of fuckoff hits to ensure my established plants survive (irrigation, tanks, etc). The stress is not helping, but small progress is still progress - I got the area for the tanks cleared and mapped them out so I can at least put a pissy little standalone link to keep them on life support.
Then I got distracted by the giant reeled hose dying and spent a couple hours trying to repair the ratchet mechanism before ragequitting.
Oh my god I'm an idiot I miscalculated the 30 days from when my previous private health insurance cover ended and now I have to re-serve all my waiting periods FUUUUUUCK what a fucking waste of all that money I paid
Work was just super stressful today.
Gonna just go home and play some Sims tbh.
Same. Except for the gaming part. Currently listening to some uplifting soul and blues music
That's a good idea!
I only realised maybe half an hour ago where I realised I need to update the mods I have installed.... ugh.
Getting my ass kicked by the flu/rsv/whatever else nasty ass virus is getting around at the moment. Have the whole week off and need to actually proper rest. Hopefully I'll be doing a lot of bored shit posting this week.
one of us one of us
Some nasty ones going round this year. Hopefully you feel better soon!
Thanks! This is the third time I've been sick this year and it's gotten progressively worse each time! Am forcing myself to actually rest this time, normally I keep going and hope for the best.
Baby kicked me in the throat. Do not rate.
First time? Sometimes it hurts so so bad, but you've got to pretend it doesn't else the kid bursts into tears.
Yep first time. I still didn’t think he had that level of control tbh.
Must be something in the air, baby kicked me hard then laughed while getting ready for bed.
When my son was a baby he threw his head back suddenly and clocked me right in the jaw in the knockout place. Was all I could do to stay conscious! The throat though, that would hurt.
The initial hit wasn’t too bad. But is suspect he’s bruised something cause it’s sore to swallow now.
This woman next door (next building, not in mine) just won't. stop. yelling. Someone else in my building yelled at her to 'shut the fuck up', which made me giggle. But this is the same yelly woman from a few weeks ago... she has not abated; she goes out for whatever, and just yells the most heinous stuff. Super triggering content, like really bad, littered with swears (I swear a lot, she makes me cringe) and I just cannot deal anymore. I don't anyone else on my side of the building can deal anymore.
I wish I had of gone to Perth with the cat and mein liebe instead of renewing this lease; it would have been difficult, and expensive, but we could have made it work... I could be chilling the fuck out at Noranda Palms Red Rooster right now. Fuck. FUCK.
I have an actual migraine from being triggered, I swear to FUCKING GOD if I have night terrors tonight I am going to fucking SMASH SOMETHING FUCK
/ENDRANT ENDME
EDIT: AND XBOX GAME PASS IS GOING UP TO TWENTY-MOTHERFUCKING-DOLLARS MICROSOFT YOU ABSOLUTE SLAGATHOR GREEDY MFS
What is the woman yelling about or at? Or is it random and nonsensical?
I wonder if there’s something where you might be able to call the authorities for either some sort of wellness check or for a noise complaint or concern.
Ack. Is that by 20 dollars a year?
$20 per month, you sweet summer child lol
Heavy Trigger Warning - CSA/SA
I am not a doctor, tho it appears to be some kind of psychosis. She often yells to back off and fuck off and worse, but no one is there. She yells about being raped and assaulted, as a child and adult, both events I have experienced as a child and for 8 years with my ex-partner. It's confronting, triggering, my heart races; I cannot imagine the level of pain she has experiences and the lack of support she has had so far to deal with it. It saddens me deeply, as that could very well be me down there, I just want to fix it for her and take her pain away, but I can't even do that for myself. I have the start of a migraine coming, and I want to throw up.
I'll call the non-emergency line in the morning; right now I'm just going to keep crying and listening to music. I'll be fine.
Yeahhhhh that’s gonna get me out of games pass. Or at least cancel it when I’m not actively playing something on Xbox.
Typical, I had to escalate my resignation to upper management as my boss hadn't bothered to reply to me. Such a lazy spineless pos. He had sent the letter on to upper management. A simple cc would have been easy. At least I don't have to rely on him to get my separation certificate. Not sure what to do next, I want to have the book thrown at them but I also want to put it all behind me. My best thought is to focus on the future and accept that I had a music and dj career far and beyond most people's dreams. Let the people left there deal with the bullshit themselves.
Easy day, dental hygienist appt, wasted trip to the bank, my first hiccup using my preferred name. Whatever, these things take time and I have the rest of my life to sort the beauraucratic crap out. Working in the moring at 630 am. It's nice becoming a morning person and I finish work before afternoon traffic. The cats always get me up pretty early but I'll need an early night. I'm tired of saying onward and upward, I just want a peaceful life. This endless search for more, better, easier is a load of capitalist crap. No walk, had an afternoon nap and glad I decided a rest day was in order.
Ah, ignore my question about your walk elsewhere in the thread, as you answer it here! Sounds like you had enough going on to keep you busy.
I cannot brain today. Shall we play a round of Bad Pet Art? Send me a pic of your furry (or otherwise) pet and a maximum of 3 minutes shall turn them into such glorious disasters as:
I love all your pet drawings!
Thankyou 😺
If you're up for a tuxedo cat I have my cat Bob in this ridiculous get up. Also have a tortoise shell cat and a choc lab if you're up for it.

Go Botbot Go botbot Go botbot Go! 💃
Good work
Good bot. 💗
The dentist is such a mixed concept for me. On the one hand, they come along with their little wizzadry hand tools and save your teeths from falling out, and hopefully save you a little pain. But on the other, as an outside observer the noises those machines make 100% sound like a torture device
Teeth are the weakest link
The human body is insane, right?!
Yeah, I've been paying for my recent neglect in money and pain just recently. Last week was hell, today though felt like it did when I was getting a bunch of tatts, bearable pain. One more session and I'll have saved my teeth from falling out as long as I look after them.
Oh dear, it's about 4 degrees outside according to BOM, it's not going to be a very pleasant morning outside when I go out.
Pray for me!
It's brisk, but it's sunny with no wind.
I tried to stay in the sun, there wasn't a lot where I was but it helped.
It was about 2 when I left the house 2 hours ago. The good news is that the sun will warm things up nicely....eventually
So I finally got off my butt to get a hideous photo of myself for my passport renewal of which I had to pay handsomely for a rapid renewal, and… my mug was too big.
So I had to pay for an AusPost mugshot. Like, truly, a mugshot. The only thing missing was an orange jumpsuit.
If I didn’t like photos before, now I truly detest them. 😂
Rapid renewal is a fraud.
I did normal and got mine in business 5 days. The lady doing the mugshot (mines not great either heh) / renewal for me was very naughty in trying to upsell the express imo.
Yeah, I didn’t know I could pick it up on Wednesday until after I paid, meaning I could have brought a resized photo. Unfortunately, I had to be sure I’d get a renewal due to flying out in a fortnight.
I have just been going through the material for the feedback on the proposed anti-vilification laws.
I find it a bit disturbing that there is so much focus on which groups should be protected. I absolutely agree that we should widen the coverage of the laws, but this feels like an exercise of deciding who is deserving of protection and who is not. This seems likely to both leave gaps in who is protected, but also likely to end up with court cases where the offender argues that their behaviour was legal because they hate someone for an allowable reason. Some awful variation of "I don't hate gay people, I just hate rainbows".
I am definitely in favour of this over what we have now, but it does feel like starting with a list of groups deserving of protection is a terrible way to make a law.
I think they've covered a lot of marginalised groups which weren't previously. I agree though they should just outlaw vilification based on any percieved difference. Oh and make the spread of information which could cause others to vilify a crime as well. Freedom of speech like every other right has to be balanced with responsibility with not using it to cause other's pain.
Seriously the man keeps shitting himself and it's putrid. Even the dog left the room in a huff and left me in the dust cloud. I have succumbed to tying a hanky around my head cowboy style with a little eucalyptus on it so I don't vomit.
If it's anything like what I went through a few weeks ago it's a tough time for everyone.
Give him a little pat on the back as a show of support. Not too hard though unless you've scotchgarded everything expensive.
He's sleeping now. He's waiting for HYBPA then he'll go to bed and I'll be able to breathe freely again.
hahahha my co-worker was showing me stuff his kid plays on Spotify when takes him to school, the tracklists consists of bangers such as: Big Chungus Fart, Techno Farts, I Pooped My Pants (In A Bowling Alley) and the all time classic - Sea Shanty Fart.
No secret who the culprit is if that school develops a phantom pooper
Wait until you hear Captain Underpants version of the 1812 Overture. In farts.
Day 22 of exercise program and day 6 of tummy exercises completed. I'm back baby 😎. The foot is much better today and I'm raring to go on whatever work holds for me today. Probably potatoes, lasagna and maybe pizza dough. It's gloriously sunny but bloody cold outside, which for some reason is weather I really like. So let's get amongst it! 👉👉 Have a great day everyone!
I'm on a rest day today (one benefit of doing heavy weights, lots of rest!) but have taken advantage of the lovely sunshine to take an extra walk. I've managed to maintain my weight now that I'm not specifically dieting, and am slowly converting some of the excess fat into muscle, so should hopefully continue to see some differences in size.
Go Rusty! It was a lovely day to get a bit of vitamin D, and was quite warm in the direct sunshine.
My feet have weird new sore places from all the walking in my new from the hips gait. It's affirming my gender transition while at the same time meaning I need to wear different shoes today to see if they combat the soreness a little. Wish me luck, I did 9ks yesterday but need unsore feet for work later in the week.
Goodnight everyone, sleep well, luv u all 😘
Time to sew up some patches to fix these pants - music reccs are welcome and wanted!
edit: these are great!! pls never stop haha
edit2: 😍 😍 😍 ty ty these are 👩🍳 😗 👌
I told Spotify to make a radio out of "Fader" by The Temper Trap and having a bit of a nostalgia hit thanks largely to a bunch of music that would have been on the radio when I used to work retail. Hearing Evermore's "It's Too Late" in particular was a pleasant surprise.

Made red lentil curry for lunch. It’s one of my all time favourites and it’s great because it’s all pantry staples. I just leave out the chillies if I don’t have any on hand and it’s still fantastic.
I have saved this recipe. Thank you very much.
I'm starting to get alarmed by how desperately I need my coffee to function.
I think I need to have a day off where I just don't have any caffeine at all and writhe around like a junkie in the throes of withdrawal.
I skipped having a coffee on Saturday morning, but had one after dinner. Day was fine.
Yesterday skipped coffee altogether with no ill side effects.
And I'm a frigging coffee junkie most of the time.
And of course I had trouble falling asleep last night.
Stupid body
Interestingly I've always found that caffeine doesn't do a whole lot to me. If I'm tired, I'm still just as tired afterwards. I only really drink it for the taste
Coffee makes me both buzzy wired and sleepy at the same time. It’s unpleasant so avoided mostly.
Problem is that it takes more than one day. More like a week +. One day off will just be one day pain with no gain
I think I relative get off lightly and don't get any adverse effects if I stop drinking coffee.
I can definitely get buzzed with a coffee high if it's really strong and fresh as opposed to instant coffee but I've never had withdrawal effects touch wood
Heading home from a big weekend in Bendigo. Glad hubby is driving, I am wrecked
Finally!
I got onto my payroll officer today and found out that the end of year financial data upload had failed and they had no idea until I emailed them about it.
If I hadn't said anything, who knows how long I would have had to have waited for the pre fill information to be up.
My BOM app has snowflakes tonight? I feel like that's a pretty good indicator it's fucking cold...
(Thought it's only going to be 3°, and I'm not near the mountains, so why snowflake?)
Areas of frost? Looks like we're back to some cold nights this week
Phew. Day done, dinner eaten, tax return lodged.
Time to kick the feet up and relax for the night!
Ugh, our admin still hasn't sent in the prefill information. I'm not surprised, the business manager is an incompetent mess who constantly prioritises the wrong things... If we don't get ours by the end of the month I'm kicking up a nasty stink. Even if my tax return ends up being $250 I'd much rather have it now please and thanks.
Might not hurt to send an email enquiring about it.
Everyone at your workplace won’t be able to use the pre fill info if they try and do it.
I just sent an email today asking when the pre fill information for our tax returns will be available.
They sorted out the mess within hours and then the ATO flagged it as ready on my pre fill data check.
Might be worth asking?
I just lodged my tax return as well! Glad it's over and done with.
And now we play the waiting game.
I have onigiri I made last night forunch. I'm very excited to eat them.
Or as Brock in Pokemon said, Jelly Doughnuts!
This is my go to reference for the concept of domestication in my translation classes. The reference well and truely dates me though. Students are getting it less and less as the years go by
Oh no!
Regarding domestication, there was an anime I loved as a kid called Bobo-bo Bobobo and one scene they are eating Natto, but obviously western audiences aren't going to know what Natto is. So in the English dub they call it like "spiderwebs and beans".
I need to slow down. I've eaten about a third of a bucket of rice noodles. Not a mini bucket. A regular sized bucket.
Only 2/3rds to go you can dooo it!
Like what I'd soak a shirt in bucket?
Uh huh.
bloody cold last night/this morning.
Kidcalhoon2 is pretty keen to give skating a go after they had a session on a board I found in hard rubbish. I'm not a skater in any way, any tips on the type of board I could get them? I guess they just want to cruise, turn a bit, and maybe have a shot at the local skate park....
Go to a real skate shop because the people working there know what they are talking about and can hook you up.
With research you should be able to find a complete 7.25” no name/blank setup under $100.00 on sale.
The biggest hurdle while you are there? Your child will see an awesome looking deck design and they are going to want that one. but it’s too big and expensive brand name haha.
Yeah right on. Was just thinking of going to Kmart actually, but quick check and both Goliath and Hemley have complete entry boards for about $100.
Last week I boiled and somewhat successfully peeled 8 eggs for the week of eating, this week I almost destroyed two whole eggs with my peeling techniques. I don't think it's the longer finger nails but maybe it is?? Hahaha
I will bang on this drum forever but try steaming whole eggs. They're much easier to peel and taste exactly the same as boiled eggs
I'll definitely give that a go!! I need all the help I can get.
Hey hey
mymy
I hope so but I'm back inside now hiding from the cold!
Still awake, I just don't like the day ending.
I just did my tax and holy shit they weren't kidding about getting less back this year. I really really need to get myself an accountant/financial advisor who can help me finesse my money so I can pay less tax. It's friggin insane. I'm all for paying a fair share but I feel like I'm paying my share and maybe someone else's too.
Edit: just updated my income/tax spreadsheet and found that even though the amount of tax I'm paying is obscene, the % of my income paid in tax is actually pretty consistent, even marginally down from the previous 3 years. Still hurts but this puts it into perspective.
image is of a chart of my % Tax Paid for the last 14 years
Yeah but mate we’ve all gotta pay for poor Gina and Clive! The poor multimillion dollar bastards can’t afford to pay their fair share!
Also don’t forget, we gotta slash the NDIS!
With the scrapping of the low and middle income tax offset, stage 3 cuts are needed.
However I do disagree with the timing. Implementing them while inflation is high is just going to make it worse.
I got 18k back last year due to a workplace fuckup (they forgot to put in the low income threshold) so I'm already expecting a significantly smaller return lol. My accountant loves me though, i literally give them a fat record of every hour worked from home to calculate claims against
Not at all, knock yourself out!
Who's knocking themselves out?
Sorry, some jankiness with wefwef via desktop computer. Replies weren't going to the right person and posting in the main thread instead.
So follow on from the previous car rental post, now looking between GoGet (higher cost but seems better reputation) and Popcar (smaller and lower cost, has some positive reviews but a bit bare/lower on recent reviews). Both have cars near me.
Dropped Uber Carshare because of the ethics, and Flexicar (applied then withdrew) because the app store app is full of negative reviews, like 1 star lol.
Locked in $165 fuel this morning. Price must have gone up shortly after.
Ended up saving $17 on a tank tonight 😳
Thanks. You just reminded me to fuel lock! Got 164.9.
Locked in $164.9, good reminder! I was seeing $209.9 at several stations driving to work today.
Through the 7/11 thing? I might need to consider getting in on that.
FUCK you, duolingo, you don't get to ding me for using mangi over mangiate translating 'you eat the grapes' you don't get to fucking do that
