Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
My guest has overstayed their welcome. I don’t know how this fly got in but it’s been hanging around and popping up randomly in the last few days but I found it following me to the loo just now for a two-ey and I think that’s the last straw.
I say let the fly live.
They’ve made it this far :(
I’ve lost track of where it is. It lives for another day.
Hit em high hit em low hit em with the old Pea-beu.
I really hate that when I try to study, I fall asleep. Holy shit, so inconvenient. Any suggestions for how to ease it?
sleep first get up early to study
Unfortunately it’s due to my brain chemistry more so then tiredness, because the topic doesn’t interest me and the questions confuse me, my brain shuts down as it’s always seeking dopamine and this doesn’t give me the dopamine I need. Lol. But I am going to try to go to sleep and wake up early to do more.
Can you trick it using something like Pomodoro where you get a little reward every 20 mins?
I used to listen to music or put on a movie for background noise while I studied.
Not for everyone though and I was always a night owl for those sorts of things.
Sitting here under two layers of blanket with an electric hot water bottle under keeping me nice and warm while I watch The Rookie.
Only thing missing is some snacks.
Sometimes I love looking up where a period piece was filmed just because it’s hilarious to see how unremote a location is or how surrounded by modern amenities it is. I mean obviously things aren’t nessascarily going to be period accurate, but seeing a shopping centre or a main road is right round the corner feels so silly.
Anyone here have recommendations for a good yoga youtube channel for a beginner with very low flexibility, dodgy knees and a lot of fat?
I know this has been discussed in the Daily thread previously but I forgot to save it.
Thirding Yoga With Adrienne, she’s so sweet and positive and gives tips on adjusting postures that might not be working for you. She’s also got some videos about how to do some foundational poses that might be helpful if your new to yoga.
I’m waiting till I have the house to myself for the day. Then I’ll clear the lounge and have a crack. Thank you!
Been super aroused lately, smashing blocks of chocolate. Fuck me I’m a pig rn. 🤢

you’d need to find someone who’s into bestiality
Or a pig…
I don’t really like the mint and tea tree body wash these days.
After years of using multipack soap bars in cardboard I saw the recycled plastic bottle and thought to try it again… the smell isn’t too overwhelming but it’s weirdly moisturising with the feeling of a residue and even on a loofah or puff it doesn’t actually clean you well?
Using it up as shampoo on my hair.
Could be they might’ve changed the formula since you last used it? I noticed a few things in my usage of things whether moisturiser or whatever the one item that worked so well a company will just up and change the formula, screwing up the customers who liked their product before the change. I wonder if this might be the case for you?
Yes, they keep changing things.
The deodorant I used for years is now scented despite claiming not to be, and even then it’s much less effective. The sunscreen moisturiser I used for decades began causing breakouts and hives and now the replacement is too.
They’ve changed this shower gel to something overly gentle and slimy.
Yeah you’re going to want to stop using that shower gel. That makes even MY skin crawl when you said it’s slimy. Shower gels have no rights to being slimy. They’re supposed to be gel like hence the name 🤦♀️
ti tree is so over rated as a natural remedy and I just can’t stand the smell of it, it’s too over powering for me,
I’ve officially gone insane. I’m listening to the entire Tornado album by Yes. Look, I have a brand new appreciation for the legendary Squire/White combination, but even the cat is worried about me
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
Currently rewatching Chef’s Table, and I’ve eaten at Osteria Francescana, but all I can think about is sardines
forgotten potato weeps in the corner
🥔😭
So since we are a very international mob here let’s share some good and bad flying stories.
I think my fave flight was flying on xmas eve/xmas day, London-Singapore-Melbourne. The pilots came on board dressed in santa suits and we had xmas dinners and got gifts! Surprisingly the plane was half empty.
Another time, this was before 9-11, I arranged for young Miss Seagoon ( age 15 ), and her friends who were travelling with us, to visit the cockpit. They were allowed to experience the landing into Singapore, they sat in the cockpit. . ( and that’s a lovely airport at night , the harbour is so pretty with all the lights )
Melbourne to Toronto 14 years ago (via Sydney and Vancouver), ~28 hours all up. I was withdrawing from nicotine and couldn’t sleep a wink. It was a torture I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
Flying from Bali to Sumbawa about 20 years ago as a kid. 12 seater airplane. Takeoff was held up for half an hour while the pilot unscrewed the panels containing wiring behind all the cockpit controls etc and tinkered around in there for a while , which was in plain view😬
