It was bizarrely a frequently hired VHS back in the day in my family.

What do you mean by poor? As in ‘shit’ or that they’d be cut off from resources/at the mercy of neighbouring trade etc?

-/genuine interest in what you mean, not snark

What country/region is this? If you don’t mind me asking

Here you go:

You’re not stupid, just incorrectly informed. And smart enough to question that. That makes you waaaay smarter than the average person.

This is what I’m calling it from now on.

Honestly one of the quickest ways I’ve found to cool down is to run my wrists under cold water.

And for my dog, wet t-shirts and wet towels tucked under his groin and armpits. I wish he was a water dog (we’ve tried wading pools, sprinklers etc) but he’s not so other than forcing him to drink enough water, I’ve found he’ll tolerate the wet items on him.

I had both my knees done, I think it was AUD$400 because it was GP not specialist referred. Probably one of the more expensive things you can get done in this country, but I’m thankful it was only that much hearing from the yanks.

Her?

Omg thank you this. The way it runs away with its hands in its pockets afterwards.

… Do you have footage of this?

Same here

So many people I know through the workplace have done the Myers Briggs nonsense and hold onto their persona like a badge of pride. They’re well meaning, intelligent people who don’t know the background of MB and how it’s as scientifically rigorous as those paper chatterboxes we made in school to help you find out which boy you were going to marry by picking a colour.

I don’t say anything when people bring it up. I also have a few star sign friends. Sigh.

Most of our wildlife is cute I reckon. You don’t see the scary stuff that often. Unless you mean spiders and really the big ones are harmless.

The wild. I live in Canberra - it’s called the Bush Capital for a reason. Wildlife on your doorstep (or a 20min drive away at most).

Hoping to see some echidnas, fingers crossed!

I’m getting some springy marshy boardwalk this weekend. Can’t wait.

I went to relocate a spider outside yesterday like I normally do. Scooped it up in Tupperware and took it outside without much thought.

Only when I released it did I realise it was a redback. Those I usually do murder if I find them in the house, mainly out of concern for my dog. I’m now reconsidering that approach. It was no biggie catching or releasing it (huntsmans are a whole other story… So fast and jumpy) so maybe I’ll do that in future.

Mm something something you are beautiful… Something

To scale?

Ohhhh you’re one of those guys. Have you ever considered that people, especially those who have made it into their mid-30s, especially women, make choices that have nothing to do with putting on a show for anyone else?

It’ll change your world if you realise that once you’re a certain age (the younger the better) you don’t actually care whether people think you’re ‘cool’ - an ever-changing something that’s only meaningful to people in highschool.
