Title
Me. It was me. I regret nothing
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English8•9 months agoI looked at these on the supermarket shelf last night and didn’t buy them because I knew I would’ve done the exact same thing as you
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agoAfter dinner mints require very little chewing therefore I can plough through a box of those.
anotherspringchicken ( @anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoFuel for the afternoon!
wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agooink oink
TuxOfStars ( @TuxOfStars@beehaw.org ) English3•9 months agoDamn straight
Llabyrinthine ( @Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoI used to do Tim Tams.
TuxOfStars ( @TuxOfStars@beehaw.org ) English1•9 months agoI was actually looking for the new gluten free Tim tams… Found the GF mint slice. When I do find the holy grail of the GF Tim Tam rest assured it will be dealt with in the proper manner.
MisssDarylC ( @MisssDarylC@aussie.zone ) 14•9 months agoI am officially diagnosed with ADHD combined type! After waiting so long for my appointment and feeling so anxious that I was somehow wrong about it, it’s a huge relief. I get to try medication and looking forward to the bonus weightloss that comes from it lol
Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agohugs and good luck
Electronic_Owl ( @Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agobonus weightloss that comes from it
I’m on day 3 of starting my meds and I feel like the loss of appetite is real. Like, I used to forget to eat at regular times because of the ADHD, now I’m not eating that much because of the ADHD meds. I could barely finish half of my dinner last night and as of 1pm today I’ve had half a banana.
MisssDarylC ( @MisssDarylC@aussie.zone ) 1•8 months agoOh damn, it really is hitting you hard. For me it hasn’t been too bad overall, my appetite seemed to not be too impacted, but I’m wondering if it’s the low dose I’ve started on.
TinyBreak ( @TinyBreak@aussie.zone ) 13•9 months agogod that was weird, I had to call Daycare back about something. I called and introduced myself with full name. They go “Who sorry?” I repeat, a few seconds of silence and I go “I’m X’s Dad” “Ooooooh, X’s dad, hang on a second I’ll find who called you”. I think its the first time I’ve said I’m someone’s dad out loud. it has a very sobering effect.
fullkitwanker ( @fullkitwanker@aussie.zone ) 12•9 months agolook at your highness basking in the morning sun
PeelerSheila ( @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ) 11•9 months agoThere was a cat sitting on the side fence yowling during the night. Mr Ps bedroom is that side, so he scared it off by poking the rubber chicken toy out the window and gave it a few good honks 😂
the_procrastinata ( @the_procrastinata@aussie.zone ) 4•9 months agoThat’s brilliant! 🤣
anotherspringchicken ( @anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoWe have had problems with yowling cats, and I’m going to steal this idea and buy a rubber chicken. Genius!
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 10•9 months agoRan 10km this afternoon. I think I’ve earned a Ferrero Rocher.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English4•9 months agolol Perth Water. I want to meet the public servant who named that!
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 4•9 months agoThat was probably John Septimus Roe nearly 200 years ago. He’s kind of a big deal in Perth history. Major highway named after him, High school etc.
He is Perth’s equivalent of John Batman, but revered more like John Monash. It’s all Johns for days.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 10•9 months agoincoming rant. Vulgar language may be used.
Yesterday I noticed that Coles flatbread has gone up a buck from $3 to $4. That’s 16.66666666667c increase per wrap. It’s flour and water! I only buy it because it’s made fresh right before my eyes so if you’re reading this Coles you can go and lick my old man’s left testicle you fucking bottom dwelling scabs. Yeah I’m dirty. I hope Santa brings you a big bag of farts ya scumbags.
The End
SituationCake ( @SituationCake@aussie.zone ) 8•9 months agoI think you could get a job writing rants. That was top notch.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoIt’s one of many talents I have.
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agoIt’s just price gouging at this point. I wish Aldi was more accessible for me.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 9•9 months agoAldi are going to start delivering soon.
Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoYES!!! The day that happens I’ll no longer shop at woolies
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoI went to Aldi the other day. No cottage cheese. No alfoil. No Lactose free milk. I was forced to go to Coles unfortunately. But I do hope that when Aldi starts delivering it forces the other 2 to stop the bullshit.
dumblederp ( @dumblederp@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoI get the Aldi flat bread. $2/5pc.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoWe normally get lebanese bread (made that day) for $1.60 for 5 but sometimes it’s nice to mix it up. I’m seriously thinking about making my own.
dumblederp ( @dumblederp@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoI’m looking for something lower joule to swap out but most wraps are small or thin, or expensive, or all three. Leb bread is such an all rounder in my diet.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 1•9 months agoA1 bakery are the best ones.
Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoI’m with you. Bloody Woolworths rises their homebrand soft drinks to 1.10.
Original they were about 69 or 75 cents.
Pretty soon it’ll be double the original price.
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 8•9 months agoMelbcat is fussing around giving indignant huffs. She’s had breakfast, meds and a treat so I think it’s because I won’t let her out. Accidentally letting her slip out behind me into the yard made her forget she’s an inside cat.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English8•9 months agoHahahaha ok so I just brought my golf bag up to my apartment and I’m looking through all of the pockets to clean it out/try to find my glove (found it) but I also found something completely unexpected AND telling of how long it has been since I played golf. I found 3 old porn DVDs in the big pocket, which were my friends DVDs he asked me to hide for him (I know how this sounds but I swear it’s true). This is a friend I haven’t seen or spoken to for about 10 years.
Hmm my apartment building has a free public library shelf thing… maybe I should make a donation.
Duenan ( @Duenan@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agoI have to say it, an oldie, I can’t resist…suuree for a “friend”.
MeanElevator ( @MeanElevator@aussie.zone ) English4•9 months agoWhat are the movies? Anything good?
Bottom_racer ( @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ) 7•9 months ago‘Driving it home’ ‘3 wood madness’ ‘David leadbetters’ guide to putting’.
PeelerSheila ( @PeelerSheila@aussie.zone ) 4•9 months agoYou missed the obvious hole in one joke… actually that’s probably for the best!
anotherspringchicken ( @anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoI’m sure there would be a market for those…
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoYou missed ‘Fore Play’.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English4•9 months agoHmmm ok I’m going to say what the titles are in a spoiler because one of them might be a little… well you’ll see…
titles
Tight & Asian 6, Lexington Steele’s Black Reign & My Girlfriends Cock (yep that one is exactly what it sounds like)
I can’t remember if he was genuinely into that last title or if it was bought as a gag gift between the boys back in the day. No pun intended.
Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoWho has DVDs approx 10-15 years old, internets already existed 🤷♀️
So, were these fave DVDS and were they niche 😉
halibutherring ( @halibutherring@aussie.zone ) 4•9 months agoCoulda been home made 😏
Catfish ( @6368_39162@lemm.ee ) 4•9 months agoPfffbbllt! I still have audio cassettes and use them
oztrin ( @oztrin@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoI still have Dad’s old 8-track. I must dig it out.
Catfish ( @6368_39162@lemm.ee ) 3•9 months agoI could claim an Intellivesion, but I’m not certain it has survived a hoard shed situation
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English2•9 months agoI wasn’t sure if I should say what they are. One of them is fairly niche…
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoUm, I still buy Blu Rays. You get loads of extras on them that enhance the viewing experience. Some of the commentaries are as good as experiencing a second movie.
wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 8•9 months agoIs it just me or has the world turn to shit ever since COVID? First we had the pandemic, then Russia/Ukraine war, then Uber inflation, now Hamas/Israel.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English9•9 months agoIt wasn’t doing so great before COVID either but the pandemic makes an excellent scapegoat for some of the shady shit going on
landsharkkidd ( @landsharkkidd@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoYeah the pandemic really just elevated the shittyness.
Bacon ( @baconmash@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agomy city had a failed revolution right before
MeanElevator ( @MeanElevator@aussie.zone ) English4•9 months agoThe Illuminati hit the accelerator on our doom
Catfish ( @6368_39162@lemm.ee ) 1•9 months agoExpect mole people imminently
melbaboutown ( @melbaboutown@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoIt really has
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 8•9 months agoI think these are meant to be waratahs but all I see are scotch thistles
I’ve gone with the gumnuts.
Catfish ( @6368_39162@lemm.ee ) 4•9 months agoWe made our own it says : go away or I shall taunt you a 2nd time
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoHahaha. I’ve seen ones that say FUCK OFF.
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoI think scotch thistles have flat tops - thistle pic
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoYeah they do but I still see weeds. Haha.
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoGood point.
Force_majeure122 ( @Force_majeure122@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoTerrible decision, absolutely shocking. I’m appalled.
Edit: are you actually trying to offend?
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoNo but I’m sorry if I offended anyone with my new door mats I guess.
Thornburywitch ( @Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ) English4•9 months agoI think the only really offensive doormats are those with picture of muscle cars on them. I can even live with a Happy Christmas or Welcome To this Hous doormats (spelling error intentional - I saw one with that exact error at Vic market once). I do like the Welcome to this Tardis ones that they sell at the comic shop on St Georges Road. And the Batman ones.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoWELCOME mats are a bit boring so when my friend said I’ve got some door mats for you I didn’t get too excited but when I saw them I actually like them.
Force_majeure122 ( @Force_majeure122@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoWell firstly I’m going to need you to stop yelling at me.
Secondly, I’m just talking total nonsense for no good reason.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 4•9 months agoHaha. I don’t yell on Fridays. It’s my rule.
oztrin ( @oztrin@aussie.zone ) English8•9 months agoAfter a day of mad cleaning the estate agent notified me that the client has cancelled the inspection.
BUT they’re still interested. Keep crossing those fingers, everyone! Seagoon_ ( @Seagoon_@aussie.zone ) 5•9 months ago🤞🏻🤞🏻
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English8•9 months agoScooted myself down to a pub along the river. Cricket is on the big screen, the beer is cold and $10 a pint and they haven’t played a song newer than the year 2000 yet. Life’s good.
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months ago82-0 we are on a roll.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English3•9 months agoLooks like it’s going to get ugly lol
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 1•9 months agoIs taht Dan Murphy’s pub still at the end of the walk near you? I used to enjoy that place.
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English1•9 months agoDan Murphy’s pub? Not sure which one you mean
Nath ( @Nath@aussie.zone ) 2•9 months agoOh, I meant James Squire. The other beer guy. 😃
bull⚡ ( @bull@aussie.zone ) English2•9 months agoNope looks like it’s gone. I can see there was a James Squire Brewhouse along New Quay but it appears to be a place called Almina@Docklands now
CEOofmyhouse56 ( @CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ) 8•9 months agoIf sneezing was an Olympic sport then I’d be on the podium.
wscholermann ( @wscholermann@aussie.zone ) 7•9 months agoPeople moaning that it’s hot. It’s really not that bad particularly in the shade.
calhoon2005 ( @calhoon2005@aussie.zone ) 6•9 months agoAnd here am I lying in bed with a hoody on because I’ve got the chills from this virus…
Rusty Raven ( @RustyRaven@aussie.zone ) 3•9 months agoIt’s beautiful in the shade. Unfortunately my yard doesn’t have any, so I need to retreat indoors during the middle of the day. I have considered climbing the fence to sneak into my neighbours yard which is very shady, but the blackberry thicket is growing up again so it is probably not safe.
