Yarrabyte has clearly celebrated a little too hard again. Must order some more beroccas, they’ll need them and I’ve run out of the hair of the dog.

My aunt is trying to give me unsolicited dating advice. She is only about 15 years older than me, but the advice reads baby boomer. The man should pay, buy you flowers, open your car door, spoil you. What if I want to spoil a man? What if I don’t even end up dating a man?
Her credentials include being in a ten year unfulfilling relationship and now a six month one where the guy has paid for mostly everything. I don’t know anything about the guy, except he makes money and takes her out to dinner. Her view is that I’m a coward because I want to grow into myself more before I date someone. I think you should be mostly happy with yourself before you date someone, or you’ve got a big fat lesson in self-love coming your way. Haha
buy you flowers
I used to grow flowers to give to an ex of mine. She and her mum always complimented that they last so long. When she found out I didn’t buy them she didn’t like them any more lol.
Hahaha Jesus Christ man.
Wow, that would make me love them even more! I’ve been wanting to grow more flowers for ages. Extended family are currently growing waratahs in the backyard and they are gorgeous.
Ex for a reason lol
What? Growing flowers is loads more effort than just buying them.
If I pay $60 for a bunch of flowers, that’s something like 1-2 hours work. Growing them? No idea how long that takes, but I bet it’s longer than that.
It constantly amazes how many boomer hippy feminists are all into men taking the initiative, men paying, men treating them like a princess, the women see it as a power move
it enrages me
and it also enrages me how many men believe it too , they also see it as a power move
No one is treating the other as an equal , no one is talking , making plans together,
and it’s not normal, it never was , successful relationships were always based on respect and equality even if there was division of labour
also, we have stop measuring people and actions in monetary terms
the home grown flowers are beautiful
but so can shop bought flowers be beautiful
it’s all about intent of the giver
and the values of the recipient
She’s a millennial 😛 but yes it enrages me too and I agree with you. I didn’t love the movie Materialists, but it does exaggerate how materialistic modern dating is.
I have always, and will always look for an equal.
Not a slave at my whim nor a monarch who requires tribute.
This. It shits me when people think men should do all the “charming”.
Be careful of these types. She might try to sneakily set you up with some rando just so you ‘have someone’. Because they pity single people and think that’s doing you a favour.
What if I want to spoil a man?
Be careful of doing that too unless you want to pick up a hobosexual. Which you don’t. (Btw they come in every gender.)
Staying single and growing into yourself is a really good option.
Thanks.
I don’t think she’d be that bad but she did say she would swipe for me if I had dating apps. No thanks.
Today I learnt what a hobosexual was. Definitely won’t fall into the trap of becoming a sugar mummy hahaha. shudders
She thicc
Today I did 10,704 steps. I took the Minipeelers shopping for a gift for their dad (it’s MrExPeelers birthday in a week or so) and we wandered all around Northland. When we got home I saw I’d done almost 8,000 steps, so I got out my trusty hand weights and did some step core and upper body exercises combined until I kicked it over the 10,000. Normally when I come home from an adventure with the kids I’m exhausted and want to go have a lie down, but my strength and endurance is slowly improving. Also my t-shirts seem to fit better. Yes! 💪🏼
Shopping is great cardio!
I’ve been meaning to start doing weights and am inspired by your progress
I should too but one thing at a time.
( maybe those ankle and wrist weights would be good for me??? )
You inspired me to buy a new fitness tracker. I got a new one, so cheap now and it’s great, does everything I want.
Just guessing my 3km 3x a week hikes don’t seem to take that many steps, maybe 5000 at most , and I walk slow but it’s roughish terrain, I jump around on rocks and across very uneven ground so that seems to be helping my fitness. The tracker will tell me!!
I have finally submitted a slightly overdue assignment for my course. It’s pretty rough, it’s the last subject and I’ve really lost interest now. I just need to do one more assignment well enough to pass the subject and the Diploma is done though. I am looking forward to not having any more assignment deadlines hanging over my head.
And I’ve picked up a cold from the 9mn old niece. The green snot should have clued me in, but I would have appreciated some warning from BIL 🤦♀️
Children = magic germ collectors. Not a fun Pokémon
BIL and his wife would be quite shitty if we didn’t attend the BBQ they’re having at FILs place. So I’ll go with a mask on and tissues up my nose and we’ll see how they feel then 😂
🐕🦮🐕🦺🐩🐶
Hair of the dog is something I have plenty of, anyone in need is welcome to grab some!
Wonderful! Please sling some my way.
Road has been tripped, birthday person birthday’d. Smoke washed out of sinuses and tent drying. Kitties predictably broke into the food robot. Way too much time spent near Boyo’s horrendous ex whom we were unaware would be in attendance. Hilarious small child not taught the meaning of the word Fucknugget 😝
teach them fartweasel. They can’t get in trouble for that one per se, there’s no rude words…but it’ll piss the parents off no end
I’m going to use that at work, for when I have to be proper and not swear
 don’t exist.
In-laws gotta stick together I guess 😂 it would be easier if they didn’t talk over us tbh.
I do love them, sincerely, but we’re just accessories I guess 😂
Anyone know of good places to scream at the top of your lungs?
beach
lol yep :)
Second this. Anywhere where there’s not many people, and it’s clearly visible that you are NOT being attacked. I would not recommend the reception area of your local police station cos screaming there could be misconstrued.
My fear would be worrying people that I’m in trouble. Now to find a beach where I can scream.
Whilst doing laps at the local pool…plus you get a bonus fitness point
I suggest in the car (maybe not in traffic) or underwater
Also, hope you’re doing ok
Cheers. I’m okay thanks, just have to let off some steam.
I screamed in my car earlier today, and it was justified. The world was TESTING me today.
Pity the footy season is over, I always found it ideal!
Into a microphone (at a rehearsal room, very cheap during the day).
Hammock set up. Time to relax for a little bit before work!
Luxurious!
I believe the hammock was purchased from Temu for 15 bucks. Highly recommend if you’ve got a bit of space!
i’m awake
The black cat has been hanging around my place heaps and I’m not sure why. Is it the water, is he hunting, is he being social?
I can’t work out if he needs help but I can’t feed him or let him in.
cats have a wide territory, they just like to walk around, there might be a nice sleeping spot in your yard,
That and they can be assholes, and he’s stirring Melbcat.
