Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Today I went to Bunnings to buy something and I asked the cashier lady how she was.
She was genuinely surprised that I asked and told me barely anyone ever asks how she is.
That made me very sad to hear that, I also wished her a good day too for good measure but to that was how people engage with her at her job makes me sad.
Also I ran after an empty shopping bag that blew out of someone trolley as they were crossing the a road strip with waiting traffic.
Good deeds done for the day.
Put my phone in the washing machine and it died. Forgot my password here so new account it is. Shitshow start to the week with work laptop 2FA issues and having to re-download and log into everything. Also lost all my contact numbers. Yayyy
Gah-dam. You have my sympathy.
You know, I’m pretty sure I could have gotten you into your old account. Just sayin’
Sorry about your phone. I have done the same thing. It was over 20 years ago with a Nokia 8210. Such a sad end to an awesome phone.
All good. Doesn’t really matter. For some reason the password reset wasn’t emailing me, but it’s fine
Just got a call from my cousin who I’d be spending xmas with, xmas is now significantly scaled down as most of her in laws have made other plans - secretly super relieved it’s gone from a 11-person thing to 5, and they’re all people I know. Far out I feel like a weight has lifted…
More pudding and custard for you.
- mammatus clouds in the northWow that is insane!
I love me some mammatus! Always wanted to see a Lenticular.
As I’ve gotten older I’ve learned to appreciate dark chocolate a lot more although I still have my limits. Anything over 70% is still a bit too bitter for me. I’m currently enjoying this Aldi Organic Dark Salted chocolate. https://www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/pantry/chocolate/chocolate-detail/ps/p/just-organic-dark-chocolate-with-sea-salt-100g/
I’m a 75-85 person. Have tried 100, it’s straight to the mole bin.
100%? Omg that would be soooo bitter.
Ive tried 95 and 100.
So bitter is almost tastes like dirt.
70 or 80 is the sweet spot for me.
But that dirt is magic in mole. Use it carefully it’s effing good.
Oooh yeah.just too far for me, but as an ingredient fanoulous.
These Choceur Liviano from Aldi are a rip off of Kinder Bueno.
Might give em a crack next time I do shopping.
I think I like biscoff
It doesn’t look pretty but it sure was tasty.
Now I’ve been asked how to burn a CD. These time warps are disorienting.
Bring out an old rotary dial telephone and witness the confusion.
My kid has confiscated our cds and refers to them as “her collection”.
I sold all mine. As well as all the vinyl. Not even sad about it. Well except for that Ride the Lightning picture disc. That was cool.
I have a mp3/cd player in my car so I still get to play them. Two are permanently in there. Dark Side Of The Moon and The Very Best Of Supertramp.
Oh nice. They say Dark Side is the greatest album in the history of music 😀
They are wrong.
I’ve heard that too.
Real problem at work. I needed to read a cd rom, everybody is on laptops without drives. Poor planning.
Be grateful that wax cylinders are no longer a thing.
next she’ll ask you to show her how to record a song on the radio with a cassette tape
And hold the button just right so you don’t get a clunk noise
Awesome Mix vol.2 is sure to get the party started.
Also just off topic, do I remember correctly that you like Paramore ? If so are you going to the show?
or did I just conjure another false memory?
That was not me. I am a Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, MCR fan.
Ah my bad.

What a bunch of fucking weirdos. This has turned from a buffet breakfast to now they want you to perform magic. I don’t want anything except for you to have a great day bacon.
Tuesday’s just hit like that sometimes. The happy glow of the weekend has worn off and you are staring down the long dark tunnel of the rest of the week without being able to see any light at the end. Once we hit hump day and we can start to see a glimmer of aproaching light people’s mental health will start to improve and we should start to see some more normal breakfast orders again.
The thing is people think they are special. There’s a perfectly good buffet on offer. Stop holding up the line with your “I’ll have one of everything, flame grilled over an Olympic torch bullshit”. Choose something then piss off.
Black coffee for you this morn?
And I’ll be happy with what I’ve been given.
and everyone is super chatty on Friday lol.
Awww thank you. Here’s a hearty breakfast for you. 🥓🍳🍳🥞🍯☕️
Oooo. Ta. I’ll share that with little dog.
Three coffees and an umbrella in case BOM radar has a tizzy again and I get stuck in the rain like yesterday.
Thanks
☕️☕️☕️🌂
Flour of England, fruit of Spain Met together in a shower of rain, Put in a bag, tied round with string. If you tell me this riddle I’ll give you a ring. And some coffee please to wash it down.
🌾🍇🌧🛍☎️☕️
Thank you. Here is your ring 💍
Thank you. I think I see some kind of Elvish on it. I can’t read it.
This is probably a good thing.
anti-aging
Bowl of energy pls
🥣🔋
Looks like I just missed restaurant hours. What kind of services can the after 8 business provide?
🫣
Twisted Murphy with two?
👻👻2️⃣
Eye of newt, eel farts and one lass of virtue true.
🧿💨
Apologies. Human trafficking is unavailable at this hour.
I’m here for breakfast not excuses. Lift your game please.
Apologies. This is a law-abiding establishment. Please try again later.
Can you perhaps source a voluntary lass? I’m open to options.
We unfortunately do not have the resources for it in this economy.
after ~2 weeks of sleeping through the night this sudden return to several wake ups a night is BRUTAL. I know he is just teething and it wont last forever, but man I am tired.
Comfort him a lot. Being comforted reduces anxiety and pain. It will also help him sleep.
And pain meds too of course.
I cannot stress enough, babies and little children can’t get too many cuddles
my kid deffo can. He’s like “daaaad stop, I want to wiggle around on the floor I dont want a cuddle”. At least I assume thats what he is thinking.
Bonjela and lots of it. Panadol and Nurofen help with the pain as well.
Oh yeah, we give him Panadol as required, trouble is he isnt always super obvious with it.
yodels into the void
do do dooo
hellooo
Miss Meow is being very restless this afternoon, which I think means a storm could be on the way. Or maybe she just wants dinner early, it’s hard to tell.
por que no los dos?¿
I’m so middle age that you know that feeling after you do “the deed” on a hot summers night and you’ve got that warm physical exhaustion but your feeling pretty stoked that it was a job well done? Yeah, I just got that feeling from mowing the lawn on my lunch break.
😂
Ok well the internet has ruined me.
Dialling back my insane sleep schedule starting tonight. No more going to bed at 5am… Starting at 2am and working backwards to 9pm.
Also, have been going out the last 3 weeks with friends on the weekend. I’m emboldened to go out by myself this Saturday. I wonder how it’ll go. Worth a shot anyway. Like my mate says “nothing ventured, nothing gained”.
You must be young because no one over 30 is going to bed at 5 am 🤣
you forget us insomniacs. Beware the crawly brain bugs
I would absolutely go to bed at 5am if life wouldn’t bash me up 2 hours later. I’m naturally nocturnal.
I don’t go to bed because I’m tired now, I go to bed because I know how tired I will be when I have to get up in the morning.
sky pretty
Got this recommended to me and found them on deep discount at Vintage Cellars soooo here I am getting one. Will report later with results.
What are you going to do with it? My suggestion would be to pour it over chocolate or vanilla icecream. Yummmm.
Did this recommendation come from a mutually sworn enemy?
It did not… have you tried this? Is it no good?
Ask the sink.
Oh no
. agreed, it’s a poor substitute for a grasshopper
