Family are all sick with viruses and one with tonsillitis. There are also other health related issues with certain family members which have been dragging on for a while now. I’m the sort of person who rarely gets sick, so I have to be the nurse while working my 5 days a week. It’s hard and I’m not the best nurse if the truth be told, so I’m getting sick of the attitudes from people I’m trying to help. People aren’t really themselves when they’re sick so I’m just trying to be patient and tell myself that it won’t always be like this.

Hi fellow Aussie! Does your username by any chance come from this picture ?

I say yes to dog water!

My daughter has a new best friend and I haven’t met her mum yet, so the girls have organised a get together for us at a local cafe so we can meet and get to know each other. It’s kind of a blind playdate for the mums, lol. The cafe they’ve chosen is between where we both live and the food and coffee are excellent there. Apart from that I’ll be making my weekly assault on Mount Washmore in the laundry, and continuing with my only occasionally successful attempts to declutter the house.

As far as I know the only real Vegemite in Australia is made by Bega Cheese Ltd. There are other yeast extract spreads on the market which are milder and might be suitable for people trying this type of product for the first time, like Three Threes Mighty Mite.

Wow, I missed all the drama! Was spending time in Aussie Zone reconnecting with people from the r/melbourne daily thread now that we’ve recreated our safe and supportive familiar community over there (the mods of Reddit decided to nuke our sub at short notice and we were devastated!) I came back here to this drama, and frankly I understand it fully after spending some time quickly looking at Lemmy world (I was told there was a Bluey community there, and as an Aussie I was interested in checking it out and looked through the posts, comments etc to get a feel of it). Hooo boy, that’s definitely a different vibe, especially after the wholesomeness of Beehaw generally and my old submates. It’s not overly harmful but not a vibe I’d like here. I left quickly. I support the decision you’ve made.

Pasta with any sauce I can rustle up, or toasted Turkish bread with butter and Vegemite.

It worked for me and I like it, thankyou.

On Beehaw I’m grateful for the positive vibe of the place in general. There’s a lack of nastiness and negativity here which feels very comfortable. Others in this thread have mentioned the no downvotes and I have to agree to the extent that when I drop by other instances it kind of unsettled me to see it, I prefer life without it.

In life I’m grateful for the love of my kids, which makes me feel like I belong in the world. Also my job because I enjoy it and it gives me the means to support my family.

I’m still finding my feet with it but it’s an interesting experience and I’m enjoying the vibe!

One thing I definitely won’t miss is being downvoted for just asking a question!

When I joined Beehaw I decided that I would actually start checking out people’s music recommendations, and this is the first I’ve looked at. I’m so glad I did! Thanks for introducing me to this band! Just listened to this and Time Traveller… how awesome are they?! I look forward to going through their other music.
