It’s Friday, the day before the weekend and there will be some Sun!
Thank you all for the brain cells, the email is in its final draft! Tomorrow night me can have another once over before I hit send.
I didn’t have any brain cells to spare but you’re welcome anyway. I hope everything goes well.
Got homemade burger night down to a tee… The key you see, it’s lots of pickles, mayonnaise, bbq sauce and chilli sauce.
As a fan of saucy burgers, I like to alternate dry/wet layers to maintain structure but get a lot of sauce in there.
Oh yes. I’m partial to the inevitable drip down the fingers on the way to the mouth type set up.
You guys, the Australian Ballet performance tonight was amazing. So good. They brought back a bunch of retired dancers and featured them in the second half, and seeing some of my favourite dancers back again was just magic.
Last ballet I saw was Swan Lake. Every time I’ve checked the last few years it’s been sold out or priced in a manner that’d make the recent kettle chip marketers blush.
Well yes, it was exxy but I was splashing out.
I would like to just say that I was just talking about microwaved potatoes and everyone got all weird and sexual. It had nothing to do with me. Microwaved potatoes just do that to people sometimes
@spudslut@aussie.zone
🫦🥔
Gross. do you have their insta handle?
you want it so you can block them, i’m sure
I intend to review the content thoroughly before passing judgement
It’s you and your dirty potatoes. And your baked beans. And your hot sauce.
that thread is simply disgusting, i’m going to read it again several times just to confirm how appalled i am
right right right
hahaha look at you trying to be all innocent, we’re on to you!

I howzat-ted my kitchen earlier too, she’s gleaming. Until tomorrow when I somehow dirty everything from making one simple dish.

The cricket’s on so it’s Howzat!
deleted by creator
That’s it. You point at the dishes and yell HOWZZZZZAT. Then you throw the tea towel up in the air.
lmao.
That’s how I finish everything off. Howzzzzaaaat. Lol
When you’re working and things are going well do you say “bowling gary”?
I go “onya Garyyyy” or “good one garyyy”.
Happy to say that I slept better last night so I’m on the mend. I’m still stuffy and hear myself in my head but fingers crossed tomorrow gets better again. Got lots planned for the weekend.
🤞
Looks like there’s 341 subscribers in this group! Heck yeah!
… still feel like there are missing peeps though
bums me out that many might have missed the (tiny?) window when this link was kicking around before r/melb got locked up and not even know this place exists. i feel like the reddit thing might fizzle out and we all end up back there, but who knows
I mean I’m ok with this place being temporary and we all head back when it re-opens or stay idk 🤷♀️
But yeah seriously odd that they mentioned midnight and 4pm you couldn’t post anymore. Lucky I saw someone’s comment with the link and had 30 mins to an hour until they closed shop (11-11:30pm)
I rather people know this here exist so they don’t feel out of sorts. I would miss everyone too much if I was away for too long. I struggled with 2 days
i wanted to post SKY PRETTY but couldn’t
Omg that’s what I wrote as well and went to click post but nothing happened. Tried it 3 different time with several minutes given between pressing post and nada lol we both thought to post the same thing
Same for me! I didn’t check the thread until 11pm. Or I’d have missed the whole thing.
Looks like we were lucky
It is listed on the r/melbournereborn pinned post, so the link is still out there but yeah, you have to go hunting for it
the r/melbourne message only links to the discord though so people might not be able to find the reborn sub
Is there anyone who used the Melbourne discord and has linked this place as a just in case?
i could try posting the link there but there are SO many messages i day i doubt anyone would see it. I don’t recognize the user names there either
I believe you can pin a post but it’s not the easiest to find even if it’s pinned which sort of defies the purpose. Is Juggernaut one of us?
I have no idea. It might be awkward for me to pin a post there too since I don’t participate.
It’s a really impressive uptake honestly. So happy so many regulars came over
me too, I’m so glad, especially since most are people I converse with on pretty much the daily
We’re missing just_kitten. Does she have DMs turned on on reddit, does anyone know? I’ll try to reach out to her
there’s also another person whose Reddit handle I don’t remember. Only thing I recall is she’s around 50 and has a partner and not too long ago went up to QLD on a holiday and came back and I think has one child and looking to get back into the workforce. My memory has been on the fritz recently
bindlesspins?
Nah, but I’ve just messaged her.
maybe?
and is kidwithgreyhair here?
edit: just messaged both
I just messaged upyourmerricreek but I don’t know if I did it right because I’m old.
Mmm. Not ringing a bell. But I’ve not been active in the DT for the last month and a half because of work so I’m a little out of the loop
I just messaged her
5ivesos? are they back?
I haven’t seen them in here. Unless they too chose a different name
thanks, just messaged
Has nufan turned up yet?
Nah not yet. Hopefully soon
Kids are in bed, finally. Red wine has been had… I believe I shall watch Dune until I am too tired to stay up…
testing PC pic upload process…That is the best piece of art I’ve seen all year.
See, this move makes me want to try the books again. They are so goddamn dry is the thing.
🤭
Why are there bagpipes when they arrive on Araakis?
I ask myself that every time. Maybe Caladon sounds like Caledonia and is like the Scottish highlands with hills and lakes but then they had burial tombs like the crusader tombs along the Lycian coast 🤷♀️
The original town name for Bendigo (Sandhurst) is superior. There. I said it.
Mr. Omoikiri’s turn to pick the movie tonight. We’re watching 13 Lives, the movie about the rescue of the Thai boys in the cave.
Honestly the most fucked up thing. It’s such a feat of humanity and whatever other higher power there is that they all made it out alive and there was only one casualty in the whole operation.
Also no mention of Musk’s submarine, which is a plus. 👍
It’s sad that the one casualty was the man trying to rescue the kids 😔
Yeah it’s tragic. And as someone with a phobia of water, the small bit I saw of that scene made me want to vomit.
Yeah extra tough if it’s a phobia.
I had to leave the room. I’ve had to pace for this entire god damn movie. I know the outcome but it’s still the most stressful thing I e watched since Argo
Instead of pacing the whole movie regardless of knowing the outcome. Take the upper hand and switch it off and find something else and just explain to hubby. Don’t stress yourself unnecessarily if you can help it?
Oh, no. Pacing is just the thing I do in suspenseful movies. The movie was really really good, but I have a very low thread hold for suspense, even when I enjoy them. I paced the entire way through Parasite and All Quiet on the Western Front and Dunkirk and all of them. Apart from the one scene, I was stressed but not distressed. :)
We’re about 11 mins away. Who’s starting the Saturday thread?
I nominate you because you did such a great job today plus I think everybody else has gone to bed.
That’s fine I can do it :)
Thanks mate :) I’m incapable right now 😂
Nah no stress at all. It’s been a great Friday, everyone here has been silly and I’ve had some laughs reading comments.
That’s what it’s all about :)
Exactly. It feels great after the mess of reddit
New Saturday thread has been created
Congratulations we have slowly made it past half way through June yay. Inching closer and closer to the end of the month
Yay! Solstice on Wednesday, we’ll slowly start getting longer days.
Don’t want longer days during Winter. Want short days so warm weather comes back 😃
That’s great, one step closer to the equinox and Spring. Still got 55% of the year to go though https://twitter.com/year_progress
I’m not rushing for the year to end just to get to September
being poor poem
Rent has been paid, and now it’s quite tight
I’ll spoil the puss because he’s my light.
Not enough for my meds so it’ll be hard tonight,
Too many night-terrors, but I should be alright!
Things will get better, this is just a tough spot,
I will get better, I will improve my lot.🖤
🤗🥰
Good onya Gary
It kinda feels like the old DT of reddit sans reddit. Kinda feels like home away from home and it’s you guys who are helping. I’m glad I decided to join this place after all. Feeling happy and slightly teary? You all are good eggs in my book
Samesies - it’s nice opening up my browser and being greeted with so many awesome people. I feel like this is some bizaro version of the show Cheers, but I’m here for it.
This place is definitely bizarre anonymous digital Cheers.
I’m so happy we for this refuge!
Same
it’s like having the radio on in the background or something, just chill
It’s togetherness as we try to adjust to the mess that’s reddit
