Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
I 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
bonus 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.
Oh 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.
god 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.
There 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 😂
'm fucking screaming that is genius. And the mental image is a delight.
We have had problems with yowling cats, and I’m going to steal this idea and buy a rubber chicken. Genius!
incoming 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
It’s just price gouging at this point. I wish Aldi was more accessible for me.
I 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.
I’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.
We 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.
I'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.
Ran 10km this afternoon. I think I've earned a Ferrero Rocher.

That 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.
cats are definitely adoring the new house. Oh that giant window facing north - not in my office, where I make noises at them for shoving everything off my workbench to sprawl, but in the dining room, where boxes and beds are placed for their use. Screen doors without modesty panels so they can breeze their whiskers and see everything and not wait for a human to put a little stool up so they can try and peep out. heating vents.
Plus now they can see the entire back yard....and they're gonna absolutely lose their shit when the corellas invade the fruit trees.
Scooted 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.

Is taht Dan Murphy's pub still at the end of the walk near you? I used to enjoy that place.
Nope 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
Melbcat 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.
got a screen door that's in the sun? We placated ours by opening the sliding door and letting them breeze behind the screen in the sun
Unfortunately it takes until late afternoon for the sun to slant through the window and screen door. Cruelly she can even see it approaching without being able to bask.
I could drag myself through setting up her little pipe frame house and wedge the opening against the window to let her out in a controlled way but the intruder cat would come fight with her
After 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!Hahahaha 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.
'Driving it home' '3 wood madness' 'David leadbetters' guide to putting'.
You missed the obvious hole in one joke.. actually that's probably for the best!
Hmmm 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.
Who has DVDs approx 10-15 years old, internets already existed 🤷♀️
So, were these fave DVDS and were they niche 😉
I could claim an Intellivesion, but I’m not certain it has survived a hoard shed situation
Um, 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.
I wasn't sure if I should say what they are. One of them is fairly niche..
Oops, apparently I accidentally fermented the cat

I did brew some anise seed stout awhile back, amused me to label the caps ASS
Woo hoo. It's that time again folks where I like a 🍺 🎶 🏏 and a little chat so 🍻 everyone and 'ave a good weekend.
Cheers to you. I have no alcohol sadly here so this is the best I can do.
🍻
With you on the cricket and will be watching!
What would you do if people at a workplace were organising lunch and openly invited everyone around you, but not you…. And you were sitting at your desk only metres away from the conversations.
I'd feel sad. Then I'd order a big pizza and eat it while making yum yum noises and licking my fingers and talking loudly on my phone.
Ps That's a pretty shitty thing to do in a workplace. Big hugs mate.
