Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
Thanks for checking in on me and standing up for me re the Reddit post, pals.
Rough times over here but everyone’s alive so it can’t be that bad. Miss you! ❤️
It’s so good to see you around Lemon.
We were worried about you and have been keeping an eye on when you’d come back.
It’s a very friendly space here if you need to talk or just vent into space as well if you feel like you need to.
Anyway Welcome back!
Thank you! That’s very sweet ❤️
Yay you’re here. We’ve missed you. Please check in anytime. It’s soooo nice here without smartarses. Yay.
I’ve missed you guys too.
Hi Lemon! Nice to see you! 👋🏼
Nice to see you, too!
Lemon!! 😍 so good to see you here!! 💜💜💜
Thanks! 😄
I’m almost scared to go check reddit but it’s great to see you here 🍋
Aw thanks :)
big hugs
Bigger hugs!
Hi there! I was u/Positive_Complaint over there, and I occasionally contributed but mostly lurked. Sorry people were such jerks about your post.
Nice to see you in here :)
Thanks :)

Lemon!
Melb!
This year just keeps giving. Got some bad news at doc today and being sent for scan on Monday. Currently panicking about cancer.
Fingers crossed it’s a false alarm 🤞
Sending you best wishes and hope everything will be ok.
big hugs
💖💖💖 ugh, I hate that over thinking stuff.
🙏🙏🤞🤞
😭😭😭 just got an email from the palaeontologist guy I sponsor on patreon, he was contacted by Make a Wish who asked him if he could take a little kid on a dino dig. The kid just loves dinosaurs. He and the foundation seeded a beach area with bones and megalodon teeth and the little kid had a great time finding them all .
Must’ve blown that kids mind!.. Fast forward 30 years to this isn’t as easy as I remember…🤣
um, it’s from Make a Wish. The little boy might not even make it to ten. 😭 But I hope he lives a long life. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 ----------->>>
Yeah. A fair point. It was a misplaced joke…
no matter, I hope your joke comes true. 🤗😘
but really, when I got the email and photos I cried and cried. I just help out this amateur paleo and he shares his trips and his finds and I have learnt a lot ( and he has even found new species ) but to help with Make a Wish, I never imagined
Garden is looking good today, I really should be doing some weeding.
Image is a magnolia with a hot pink rhododendron in front on a sunny dayOh that is so pretty!!! 😍
Yes apparently prior owners were keen gardeners as we have lots of well established trees.
Awesome garden, but of course my eye went straight to the dog… very cute!
WOW, that’s a magnificent display!
- doggo found the sunCUTE!
I was just browsing r/melbourne and came across u/lemondrop post. Maybe someone can reach out and tell her it’s nicer over here.

I hope I did the link right. Lol.
Ugh r/Melbourne is so hostile. Don’t get me wrong aussie.zone can get spicy too sometimes but nothing like reddit.
Its full of keyboard warriors.
You reckon mechanical or apple keyboards?
Not sure but I reckon they’re sitting in the dark 🤷♀️
And in a basement.
Nah spare room with mum calling “Tea’s ready Tarquin”. Sorry to all the Tarquins.
🎹
Yeah…I miss the opportunity to say right on lemon and post a 30 rock gif
I miss that too! ❤️
… hey. Welcome!
They blocked me ages ago lol. One of many sigh
No worries. I did it and she replied so I know it work. Sent a link and every fink. She knows we’re here.
I’ll send her a message if someone hasn’t done so already.
Can’t believe how hostile they are to her in that post.
I just did it. Yay me.
Oh I did it too. Yay to the both of us!
Haha. I sent a link. 😂
What the actual fuck? Why be an arsehole to someone offering a room? People are nuts over there, glad I left.
Yeah I know. Cunts being cunty from the land of Cuntdom
I’m going through all my papers and I found this
spoiler
And I’m keeping it. Forever.
My miniature garden aqueduct is working well. I have an old sink near here that I use for garden stuff which is not plumbed to drainage, so I put the green tub under it to collect the water, which I used to just empty directly onto the garden. I have a bunch of concrete spoon drain pieces and bricks from old paving around the house, so created this to take most of the water across to the base of the apricot tree. A fair bit leaks along the way too keeping other plants watered.
This reminds me of an invention that a friend’s dad made at a party. He cut a large pvc pipe long ways, suspended it on bricks and had a bucket at the end to collect the waste for his lemon trees. It was a homemade urinal around the side of the house.
I went to a week long event where a few guys put handles on potted lemon trees and carried them around as personal pissoir
Impressive water feature!
The romans would be jealous!
If it ends up being El Nino I’m gonna do a similar thing with buckets and watering the garden. The budget didnt go as far as a water tank this year.

Well Dymocks has now confirmed that the basic contact information has been stolen and published on the dark web.
That might explain the barrage of calls I’ve been getting and ignoring since Monday.
Don’t like that my date of birth is out there now with my name.
If it makes you feel any better it’s probably already been out there for some time.
😂
Possibly but still :(
Ahhh so that’s why… Fuckin dymocks. Took a month for my order to get here and on top of it all now this.
Eh, my contact information was on the dark web because of Optus and AHM.
Have you put a ban on your credit file?
Nope. It is something I need to do?
I’m not up to running around doing guerrilla gardening myself.
But how cool would it be to seed bomb abandoned lots with native wildflowers for native pollinators?
(Not only bees - though they’re important).You can make seed bombs as clay-soil balls, soil bound with flour, dried paper pulp, or soil filled eggshells.
Legality is dubious so check beforehand if you want to do it. And don’t use anything poisonous or invasive.
Edit: Scratch that. This video is saying not to use regular wildflower mixes as some species may be invasive. The natives may be a much better choice until I look at what’s in the bee/butterfly mix
I have considered lobbing a few into my neighbour’s back garden (which is basically abandoned), but I’m not sure they would get enough sun or be able to compete with the weed growth.
alyssum are generally good, coriander and dill as well.
Almost got run over by a fucking mole in an SUV. Wasn’t even looking at the street she was turning into and instead at the road ahead.
You’re supposed to give way to pedestrians when turning into a street fuckmuppet!
That’s only if they see you in the first place and from what you described she wasn’t even looking.
Moles have notoriously terrible eyesight.
Silly me, thinking people should glance at the road they are turning into!
So I’m going axe throwing tm for a bucks and it was a very confronting waiver.
I don’t have a beneficiary or executor :(
Does anyone hate the media covering the AirBNB levy, through the “your weekend stay is going to be more expensive” angle.
How to pretend like you’re speaking for the people when you’re really speaking for big property.
STORM WON!!! Gotta get behind our only Melbourne NRL team, @MELBOURNE I DON’T KNOW HOW TO OR IF YOU CAN TAG A CHANNEL OR WHATEVER IT’S CALLED IN LEMMY
