@calhoon2005@aussie.zone avatar

Bloody right ..he even called me after pickup saying that there was a problem with the order and I needed to call the restaurant. I KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS BUDDY! YOU WERE EATING MY DUMPLINGS!

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

Oh that's a shame mate because I had a $50 tip waiting here for you

StudChud,

On the metro site as I was trying to check train time table and I see only 4 lines are green and every other line is yellow with Work Alert. Jeepers

Electronic_Owl,
@Electronic_Owl@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah, I heard the PTV rep on Radio Melbourne earlier basically saying shits fucked on most of the lines from 9pm. For once Frankston wasn’t included, but we’re already on bus replacements :0/

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

The lines that are green include: Alamein, Hurtsbridge, Mernda and Sandringham

Does anyone else get quite easily influenced when seeing food and wanting it. Even if you’re not hungry? I really need to stop looking at food on Instagram 😅 I have new food cravings almost every night. So easy to look at food and go down a rabbit hole on Instagram. Tonight I have a hankering for Xiaolong bao (dumpling soup)

Cendana, (edited )

I'm thinking about grilled chicken. Village style (freshly slaughtered minutes before and then cooked over a wood fire) and consumed with white rice.

Absolutely craving it right now after thinking about food thanks to your post. XD

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Replace chicken with fish and I’m right there

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

More than you’ll ever know. If I’m at a restaurant and the wait staff come out carrying a plate, my eyes follow that plate all the way to the table even if it’s not mine.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Omg are you me? I am the exact same. Sometimes I would make a note, next time (if there’s a next time) that’s what I’ll order 🤣

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

I peruse the menu in advance so I don’t waste time when I’m there. 😂

Goddess_Amaterasu, (edited )
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

I’m almost certain we are one person. I do the same. I research stuff online first

Edit: I used to write bullet points in the notes section of iPhone with name of restaurant and address. Then go there and say whether it’s worth returning or not. Not a full review or anything

Still have places I haven’t visited, places that closed down and new places looked at recently

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

Haha. This makes me very happy.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Me as well. I thought I was just this unusual person. But sometimes for me if I know a place does good food, I like to go back. Some become regular places for me 🤷‍♀️

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

I ask friends to bring back menus from overseas so I can try to recreate dishes. 🤷‍♀️

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Ooo that’s genius

Llabyrinthine,
@Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone avatar

Food envy.

CEOofmyhouse56, (edited )
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

I don’t know if it’s envy. I’m usually very happy with my careful selection but I do tend to go “Oooo looook at thaaat” as it floats past me.

StudChud,

Im home, i need to know if anyone here knows and loves Blind Guardian, bc I’m drunk and listening to them and I love them. I’m so sorry, DT, I love you all so much!

Thank you for putting up with me; it means so much to me, honestly. <3

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Glad to hear you got home safe

StudChud,

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Wow being that close makes it so easy. However, still good to see you go home without any incidents. Is it warm pjs time?

StudChud,

Of course! got me trakkies on and will crash imminently

Goddess_Amaterasu,

I hope you have a good nights sleep when you finally sleep and you’re not feeling too hung over tomorrow

One love

And who you calling human?

StudChud,

Well, not myself. I’m a kobold, a little germanic household deity. I’m not a human, I’m just a blob.

Of course I know them, the guys who did a middle earth album ? 😊 cool

www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ1bbXUEweQ&ab_channel=la…

StudChud,

Yess!! Nightfall in Middle Earth (1998) was their Middle Earth/Silmarillion album. (I’m a HUGE Tolkien fan btw). They’re my fav band of all time!!

Seagoon_,
@Seagoon_@aussie.zone avatar

yup, The Silmarillion :)

Taleya,

I heartily recommend live double album be played at this juncture. mordred’s song👌👌

StudChud, (edited )

mordred’s song is life!!!

halibutherring,

Hey, I made it. Behind the times on a good thing, as is my raison of sorts, it seems. Um… hi.

Hey 2 fish. Welcome

Hey there! Officially welcome to the site! 🙂

As it’s Pride month (love all my gay/queer/trans homies and homettes) I’d like to share that we have had three separate friends of our kids, come out to us before telling their parents.

My wife responds with a motherly hug and I put the kettle on.

I’ve told all the kids that if they need adult backup when (if) they tell their parents, I’ll happily accompany them and offer sanctuary, just in case.

I may not be their parent, but I’ll pretend to be one if it makes them feel safe.

I don’t share this a lot in real-life to keep our space safe for the kids, but felt like saying it here tonight.

StudChud,

the willingness of them to come out to you, that is a measure of a good character on your part. <3

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

My wife has this amazing ability of having anyone and everyone open up to her.

She’s had new friends (like meeting for a second time) confide in her.

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

Thank you for looking after our young ones.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

Just doing my bit for the cause.

CEOofmyhouse56,
@CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone avatar

You and your wife are bloody legends.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

Aww shucks… we’re just parents trying to make a small positive difference in some lives

The least we can do.

For a grumpy old cunt that generally hates people…I guess so

My man

TinyBreak, (edited )

Good on ya! I wish I had someone around when I was younger to tell me it’s ok to be who I am, or give me the love and support to go out there and find out. Trying to do that shit in secret sucks ass! Edit: it’s not an exaggeration to say you’ve probably saved some of these kids lives.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

You and your wife are good eggs

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

We’re young enough to remember that puberty is fucking crazy and old enough to recognise that kids need love and acceptance.

If someone enters our house, they’re are under protection, whatever that entails.

Eating our bread and salt makes them our responsibility when here.

It’s the least we can do.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

I understand. I’m not against you or anything. It’s great that the kids have safe havens to go to, if they need. I’m not a kid

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

Oh no…I didn’t take comment the wrong way

Just added some more info

Peace & Love 😁

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Ok good. Added context is good. For a split second I thought maybe you saw me a youngster (kid) that didn’t understand. But yeah you’re a good ally but good parents too which is great.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I assume everyone here is over 30 and grumpy as shit 😁 for good reasons.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

I’m definitely over 30 and main concern/grumpiness is to the cold weather.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I like the cold, generally, but hate the poor quality of buildings that make me cold indoors.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Yeah there’s lots of those buildings around unfortunately

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I’m paying a bank to own one and somehow that puts me in a better situation than many others.

Shits crazy

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

“Shits crazy” pretty much everyone’s thoughts lately

melbourne_wanderer,

i have always been lucky enough to be surrounded by people who have accepted me for who I am (a big ol’ dyke). But even when I KNEW that my friends and family would be totally fine with it, I told a few people who werent necessarily my closest friends/relatives but who I trusted implicitly…just in case that 1% fear came true and my friends/family really did react poorly, I’d know I had someone to turn to.

Turns out they all twigged before I did, so, y’know, there’s that.

Rhanka for being a good egg for your friend’s kids.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I had a mate in high school who came out to us at graduation.

Out group’s reaction was along the lines of ‘no shit dude’ ’ we knew and wondered how long it would take you’ and of course ‘if you need a place to crash we have a spare room’

We were so happy that he finally was able to be who he always was.

It wasn’t a big thing for us but a massive event for him. He was also from a very conservative Catholic family/culture which made it very hard on him.

Being there for our kids’friends is just the most natural thing. A warm meal, roof and a sympathetic shoulder is the least we can do.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

Also…your kind words mean a lot. Seriously

Waddlekins,

2 more pakidges mailed to murican tea friends 🥰

Going out for Japanese tonight. If there are gyoza i’ll smuggle a few back and put them with this mornings croissants to share with the class.

melbourne_wanderer,

During lockdown, wanderer wife and I bought a konro grill. Best decision ever.

Seagoon_,

Japanese food is sooo delicious!!! My daughter is on holiday in Japan at the moment, and is sending me pictures of the most amazing food! Even their 7-11's have delicious food!!

Waddlekins,

Japanese food 😭😭❤❤ i want

Watching The Matrix, for the umpteenth time. Shit never gets old.

calhoon2005,
@calhoon2005@aussie.zone avatar

I liked the sequels, but imagine if it had been a one off finishing with that phone booth scene and the RATM song…🤯

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

The first is rewatchable. The rest, not so much.

I’m deciding on a feel good 80s comedy with John Candy on vacation.

heyheyitskay,

I thought it was very relevant and time to revisit again what with the rise of AI and everything.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I know we’re doomed and need no reminder.

Then again Carrie Anne Moss in that leather situation is something I can get down with

melbourne_wanderer,

Then again Carrie Anne Moss in that leather situation is something I can get down with

You and I often seem to agree on the darndest things.

MeanElevator,
@MeanElevator@aussie.zone avatar

I identify as a lesbian all the time… especially when shapely women in leather are involved.

StudChud,

I’m one of the minority (apparently) that liked the new Matrix. I really thought it was a good reflection of current society, especially with the Wachowski’s being trans, it felt on point as a commentary of their journey. Idk, i loved it!

heyheyitskay,

The first one is the coolest but I watch up to the first three. I really like some of the characters in the later ones.

Llabyrinthine,
@Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone avatar

I totally forgot about the new Matrix. Love me some John Wick, but was disappointed in 4.

heyheyitskay,

I’ve been recommended to try John Wick. Guess I’ll put it on the list.

StudChud,

John Wick series is actually amazing. Just some gratuitous action, Keanu being hot. Eye Candy!!!

Defo watch it!

LowExperience2368,

Aussie Zone has an icon where there’s no Tasmania, to add to the many in this world.

It is not Covid. Three years and counting of dodging that particular plague

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Are you just feeling a little rubbish today? CoVid doesn’t always show up on the test for several days.

Alamutjones,
@Alamutjones@aussie.zone avatar

I’ve felt sus for two days, but assumed it was lack of sleep yesterday.

Today I’m tired, sore and my throat is hurting.

Goddess_Amaterasu,
@Goddess_Amaterasu@aussie.zone avatar

Whatever the case I hope you feel better soon

FunkyClown,

I was once like you but got it a few months ago. If you are vaxxed up and the new strains being more mild it’s honestly not that bad. I basically had a sore throat one night and after that I was just tired as fuck but no other symptoms besides a bit of brain fog. Maybe I was just lucky.

StudChud,

Out at a bar, birthday, friend of a friend,
Feeling odd, poor, but drink to numb the end
I’m okay, just a human doing their best
Our rights, tonight, I’ll leave it to the rest
I detest, the way I am tonight,
I’m alright
Just doing my best\

StudChud,

Hiccups
What the frack
Tummy making a grand escape
To the toilet, not too late,
It’s okay, I’m not alcoholic
Just a binge drinker, when the funds allow it

The cat is very cute and when she sits next to me she puts her paw on my leg or foot https://aussie.zone/pictrs/image/fe4230d0-54ef-4b28-81c0-73655f7ca504.jpeg

Well, that was supposed to be a link but it didn’t work. She’s also the wrong way up. But still very cute.
