Thanks for checking in on me and standing up for me re the Reddit post, pals.
Rough times over here but everyone’s alive so it can’t be that bad. Miss you! ❤️
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 13•1 year ago
It’s so good to see you around Lemon.
We were worried about you and have been keeping an eye on when you’d come back.
It’s a very friendly space here if you need to talk or just vent into space as well if you feel like you need to.
Anyway Welcome back!
- lemondrop ( @lemondrop@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Thank you! That’s very sweet ❤️
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 12•1 year ago
Yay you’re here. We’ve missed you. Please check in anytime. It’s soooo nice here without smartarses. Yay.
- lemondrop ( @lemondrop@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
I’ve missed you guys too.
Hi Lemon! Nice to see you! 👋🏼
- lemondrop ( @lemondrop@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Nice to see you, too!

Hi there! I was u/Positive_Complaint over there, and I occasionally contributed but mostly lurked. Sorry people were such jerks about your post.

😭😭😭 just got an email from the palaeontologist guy I sponsor on patreon, he was contacted by Make a Wish who asked him if he could take a little kid on a dino dig. The kid just loves dinosaurs. He and the foundation seeded a beach area with bones and megalodon teeth and the little kid had a great time finding them all .
- calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year ago
Must’ve blown that kids mind!.. Fast forward 30 years to this isn’t as easy as I remember…🤣
- Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago
um, it’s from Make a Wish. The little boy might not even make it to ten. 😭 But I hope he lives a long life. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 ----------->>>
- calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year ago
Yeah. A fair point. It was a misplaced joke…
- Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
no matter, I hope your joke comes true. 🤗😘
but really, when I got the email and photos I cried and cried. I just help out this amateur paleo and he shares his trips and his finds and I have learnt a lot ( and he has even found new species ) but to help with Make a Wish, I never imagined

I was just browsing r/melbourne and came across u/lemondrop post. Maybe someone can reach out and tell her it’s nicer over here.

I hope I did the link right. Lol.
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 9•1 year ago
Ugh r/Melbourne is so hostile. Don’t get me wrong aussie.zone can get spicy too sometimes but nothing like reddit.
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 6•1 year ago
Its full of keyboard warriors.

You reckon mechanical or apple keyboards?
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago
Not sure but I reckon they’re sitting in the dark 🤷♀️

Yeah I know. Cunts being cunty from the land of Cuntdom
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
I’ll send her a message if someone hasn’t done so already.
Can’t believe how hostile they are to her in that post.
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
I just did it. Yay me.
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Oh I did it too. Yay to the both of us!
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Haha. I sent a link. 😂
They blocked me ages ago lol. One of many sigh
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
No worries. I did it and she replied so I know it work. Sent a link and every fink. She knows we’re here.

Piedmonte’s has $5 choccy mud cakes. Pray for me (and my waistline).
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year ago
Praying won’t help you. You sold your soul.
- Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English5•1 year ago
Not ME doing the praying. I’m hoping some better endowed person (soul wise) will be motivated by a charitable impulse and do some praying for me.
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
I can be proactive and help you with the cake.
- Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English6•1 year ago
Umm, confession time. I bought some cream to go with it … I do like the dollop cream - so unctuous.
- CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago
I’m sorry but that’s a winning combination there. I am jealous.
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
I will silently offer you a prayer 🙏
My your soul be saved. 🕯️
- Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English4•1 year ago
Thank you. Although compared to mud cake and cream, soul saving starts to diminish in importance in the overall scheme of things.
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
I knew what you meant but my comment still applies haha!
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Oh damn. You just reminded me that I have donuts hidden in the cupboard
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 8•1 year ago
Almost got run over by a fucking mole in an SUV. Wasn’t even looking at the street she was turning into and instead at the road ahead.
You’re supposed to give way to pedestrians when turning into a street fuckmuppet!
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
That’s only if they see you in the first place and from what you described she wasn’t even looking.
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Silly me, thinking people should glance at the road they are turning into!

Well Dymocks has now confirmed that the basic contact information has been stolen and published on the dark web.
That might explain the barrage of calls I’ve been getting and ignoring since Monday.
Don’t like that my date of birth is out there now with my name.
- wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 5•1 year ago
If it makes you feel any better it’s probably already been out there for some time.
- StudSpud The Starchy ( @StudChud@aussie.zone ) English5•1 year ago

- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Possibly but still :(
- 38fhh2f8th5819c7 ( @38fhh2f8th5819c7@lemm.ee ) 5•1 year ago
Ahhh so that’s why… Fuckin dymocks. Took a month for my order to get here and on top of it all now this.
- landsharkkidd ( @landsharkkidd@aussie.zone ) English4•1 year ago
Eh, my contact information was on the dark web because of Optus and AHM.
- Mittens_meow ( @Mittens_meow@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Have you put a ban on your credit file?
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 2•1 year ago
Nope. It is something I need to do?

So I’m going axe throwing tm for a bucks and it was a very confronting waiver.
I don’t have a beneficiary or executor :(
- Electronic_Owl ( @Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
executor
I read that as executioner, which given the axe reference is understandable I reckon :)
- bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English3•1 year ago
I’ve been thinking about going to do this! I’m keen to hear how it goes

I hereby bequeath 3 chillo (the good ones including the ones in the freezer they’re still good) and all residual coriander (which are bolting) to @just_kitten@aussie.zone
That is my will.
It has been said.

Just tried the tap pressure gauge.
Who wants a kilopascal I have 600 of them eee.

Something funny to me is that out of the 5 weeks I took off work, traveling throughout the US and spending almost 2 weeks in Vegas… it’s the Friday night before I go back to work that I finally get drunk. At home in Melbourne. By myself.

Wahhh. Long long day out in the 'Rat using every last drop of my EQ to help smooth out a delicate family situation but it turned out good. I’m just wiped out though. Won’t be able to drive back up there again until I buy a car some day but I will NOT miss the Western Highway for a second.
Highlight of the day was this VERY friendly boi. He hates kids but just showers everyone else with tender affection. I love him.
e: also I accidentally drank caffeinated tea way too late this afternoon, help
- Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago
You didn’t get stuck in the traffic accident did you?
Thank goodness you managed to smooth things over with family.
Also how bad is caffeinated tea going to be with you? Is it going to keep you up all night?
- just_kitten ( @just_kitten@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Didn’t get stuck in one, haven’t read about it yet… That would’ve been really awful.
Caffeinated tea can definitely keep me up all night. Esp as I had my second dose of meds later than usual as well (that also can keep me up). Time for melatonin tonight I think.
- Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 7•1 year ago
Another jigsaw done. 🤗 This one of birds but strangely I did the vegetation first. Also, it only had a tiny instruction picture .

…500 pieces?
- Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 4•1 year ago
yah, just a little one, but like i said, no picture to work from , that and I took my time
- calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 3•1 year ago
Nice. Just also saw they’re labelled and there’s a key down the bottom. A functional jigsaw.
