    I left Adelaide almost 11 years ago to come back here. No real plan.

    After fucking around on the street for about 2 months, I found a place to live in a share house with an alcoholic who did more for me than my own family.

    I stayed there for a year. When I first rocked up I slept on a mattress on the floor wearing all my clothes because there was a gap between my wall and the world at large so it was quite cold.

    This is the place.

    It’s renovated now. I haven’t been back here since I moved out. I walked in gaunt, covered in track marks and walked out with an office job and a plan to study IT.

    Time flies.

    So anyway, back to the story.

    I enjoyed climbing as a youth, as most of us do. I was alone at a park and decided to climb to the top bar of a swing set, make my way to the chains holding the swing seat, and shimmy back down the chain. Brilliant.

    Except, the black plastic seats are held to the chain with a type of “s” shaped hook.

    When I slid down the chain, that hook embedded itself into my nether region and I ended up sort of hanging there; impaled…

    Oh shit. Adrenaline kicked in and I had to climb back up the chain to un-hook myself.

    I knew something was seriously wrong but I was alone and proceeded to walk home while holding my bike. There was no way I was going to sit on a bike seat and ride.

    Mum freaked out (and rightly so) and drove me to hospital where I received several stitches. No permanent damage, but the story continues to make people sick in the stomach many years later 😀

    Enjoy your weekend!

    Hey everyone, just checking over there and it looks like Melbourne cops have joined Sydney cops and started getting around with sniffer dogs at train stations. So, if you consume restricted drugs, be sure to carry a copy of your prescription (the sticker on the packet) to avoid any legal hassles. If you consume illegal drugs, it might be worth avoiding public transport all together. Someone mentioned that a sniffer dog detecting counts as reasonable suspicion for a stop-n-search. I can make my dog indicate things with the tiniest clicks of my tongue.

    What a bunch of bullshit.

        Candor has a $19 prescription process at the moment. CANDID19 is the code. My last prescription I wasn’t that impressed with but I wanted the piece of paper. That was a few years ago so I think it’s time to do it again.

          I’m with Medicann, a Perth-based clinic. They’re all about patient outcomes, so they ask about my mental health and physical health, basically a GP check up, plus the script. It’s a wholesome experience and they really make me feel like they actually care about my health and wellbeing.

        Oh I am firmly in camp #FUCK_METH_HEADS. I’ve walked away from three groups of druggie friends over the years as they’ve turned to meth. If the police dog had a sign on it’s harness saying “Meth detector” I’d put in for the gofundme.

    One of the reasons I love the market is that I can, if I don’t buy the extra nice things as well, feed myself for a week for about $30

      definitely

      when I was struggling I would buy a few big $1 bags of vegies, cheap rice from the Asian market, cheapest mince , a dozen eggs and curry pastes , supermarket bread , home brand cheese, etc,

    Shopping done, banh mi acquired. Time to pour out a cold one and chill for the balance of the day.

    By the way, I was recently gifted a dressmaker’s dummy - but its in medium/large size, and I’m only a small/medium. It’s a Singer 151 if you’re interested. Does anyone care to swap for a Singer 150 or equivalent? Full working order. If no-one wants it, I’ll probably dress it up provocatively and put it where it can be seen through the front windows. Heh heh.

    Went to the gym to reset myself after yesterday’s failure of a workout. Spent more time in the massage chair than anything, but hey, I went and it was still better than yesterdays!

      Me too. Sometimes if I’m lucky I can put on one of those satin eye masks and go back to sleep, but the local magpie clan warbling in the morning sometimes put a stop to that idea!
