I missed your post from yesterday but just scrolled back to catch up. Big hugs to you as you navigate the choppy waters.🫂💐

Yeah, I had 30+ notifications, which is unheard of for me. I thought I’d been added to a list but when I checked, there was nothing new since yesterday. Phew!

If you’re a glasses wearer, have you thought about fitover sunglasses? You don’t have to get new sunnies when you get a new prescription, because (like the name suggests) they fit over your glasses. www.cancercouncilshop.org.au/collections/...

It’s giving me swamp vibes. Like it was left on a clothesline and nature took over, after the apocalypse.😬

I’m not sure what vibe they were going for. Maybe sadness and depression? I’ve never had a desire to visit Dreamworld and after the horrific accident, wished the place had been closed down forever.

Ouch! Is Hirudoid good for the bruising or swelling of bumps? We have a tube of this at home, but I don’t know what it’s for. I thought maybe varicose veins.

It was Supply & Demand. Blue and orange logo. It still exists, now at 508-510 Bridge Rd and there's also a shop in Hawkesburn, on Malvern Rd. Someone on Reddit answered for me.😊

Joy @joyjet.bsky.social · 19/08/2026
So it wasn't Swan St, it was Bridge Rd. 520 Bridge Rd, currently occupied by Dan Murphy's. I'm trying to remember what it was called when it sold interesting stuff. I'm thinking Boxworks? Or The Works? (Which became Adairs further down, or on Glenferrie Rd, I think.)

My ophthalmologist once told me that my eyes sting when administering drops into them, because the dry spots need moisture. The way they burn, my eyeballs must resemble the Great Sandy Desert. Ooft!

Hey Melbourne/Naarm folks. Can anyone tell me the name of the cool warehouse shop in Richmond, many years ago, that sold homewares, old props and really cool stuff? I think it was on Swan St.

If the players are “so stressed by the game, that they have to use slurs against other players”, then maybe it’s time they found a new career. John is on the money.

Interested in the answers, as this is something my best friend is thinking about doing. The new neighbours that back onto her unit are home more and talk louder than the previous tenants.

Yeah, my fridge is probably a condiments graveyard at the moment. That's a task for another day.

AFL players are not gods. Celebrities are not gods The media needs to stop putting these people on pedestals and start holding them to account. Stop with the "good blokes" rhetoric. Stop saying that it might destroy their career. Actions need to have consequences, so the younger generation learns.

Oh dear. I think there’s a story in this…😳

Whaddya mean I have 4 tins of expired condensed milk in the pantry? Surely I’ve made lemon slice for school lunches recently? (Counts back 7 years since my youngest finished Year 12.) Oh. 😢 _______________________ On another note, guess who’s sorting the out pantry tomorrow?

I hate 'remember when' features on any platform. I block the Facebook memories banner from my feed. Now Google photos has a thing at the top of the feed, reminding me just how long ago I started a project or did a thing. Fuck off! I don't need to be reminded of when youth and money were on my side.

Yeah, I gave this a hard pass because there’s no way I could pick just 3.

I’ve bookmarked this to remind me closer to the date. I’ve got a neck issue that I need to get better before I can fully commit. @justjim.bsky.social can you repost this next weekend please?

I watched that the other week and actually liked it. I’m enjoying watching old movies with special effects that don’t involve heaps of CGI or AI.

Not only is the SDA a do nothing union that is typically on the side of the big supermarkets rather than its workers, it’s a complicated process to try to leave it, so that you can then join the RAFFWU.

I convinced The Bloke that we should have fish and chips for tea and now I have a tummy ache. It was delicious, but the crispy batter was a bit much. I should’ve asked for grilled. No dishes to wash up though, so that’s a win.🥳🙌

Do people really care about a website's prefix these days? It looks like I'm going to have to let go of my .com.au domain as I don't qualify for an ABN anymore (no sales, LOL). .com is already taken so I'm probably going to have to go with .au. It should be okay, right? Right?

Guess who just found the missing tool, 15 minutes after ordering a new one? (I couldn’t find one within driving distance.😢) *sigh* On the plus side, I can keep one in the house and one in the garage.

I have not read this persons "article". But the comment section is 🔥, pointing out how AI "writing" actually works. By stealing. Not thinking. Not pontificating. By scraping and stealing.

I'm not sure if I'm actually losing my mind, or if family members are using my tools and then not putting them back. Either way, I'm getting a bit frustrated that a small project for myself has now taken the best part of a day, and is no closer to being finished.

A tech prophet finally gets her second coming
In 2000, Paulina Borsook published a book foretelling the anti-government sentiments of the tech world. Now that it’s too late, people are ready to listen.

Other than it perhaps being a prop in a film, the question I want to know is, why did the doll have convincing bruises and scrapes on it? What sick fantasy was being played out?

Yep. It’s not a problem for them… until it is. By which time it’s usually too late.

My elderly neighbour has me listed on her emergency alert, so I’ve just spent a few hours next door, keeping her company until the ambo arrived. It could be muscular or it might be her heart, but I think she’s going to be fine. She was just very anxious about having a fall.

After reading this, I realise I wasn’t going mad in thinking that the quality of some well known brands had diminished. They’d just been sold to conglomerates.🙄

I’m making tea early, as I usually do on Mondays. But I don’t think I’ll be playing tennis tonight. It’s a bit wet out there.

🤔Seems a bit odd that under Albanese's Labor "Social Cohesion" Government everyone & their foreign interference dog seems to have been given almost instant access & A Voice to its Government with the exception of First Nations People & most Australian citizens. They have to "lower the temperature".
