My kids really enjoyed their Chinese takeaways tonight. They ate everything on their plates. I put my home cooked stir fry with organic chicken and my homegrown organic vegetables into takeaway containers.

@griner @chamfy This is awesome!! I had a shock last Halloween when I put together a drive by Halloween event with my neighbor. We borrowed about 300m of street verge for it. The newspaper and tv found out and 18k people drove by 🙈

@AlHendiify @LadyDoctorSays I had a break in once where they stole baby gear and toys. Even took the baby wash from the bathroom. I had very conflicted emotions, but someone needed that stuff more than me.

@NBedera Almost every date I went on in my early 20’s ended in the guy saying he was too drunk to drive home and asking to sleep over. Every. Single. Date. I told them to sleep in their car and organize themselves better in future. Suddenly they were not actually so drunk after all.

@Dr_BellaR A year after losing my newborn daughter I was posted in NICU. I couldn’t brave it. Just quietly swapped with a friend in wards and hoped no one say anything. Wasn’t even ready to explain why. You’re lucky you have a supportive supervisor ❤️

@juamei @fesshole Someone set up a tent in the nice park I drive past every day. They’ve even built a little fence. It annoyed me at first, but then I started to think fair play to them. Might go down and see if they need anything.

I just realized that junior doctors earn around $25 per hour in New Zealand. My 18 year old son earns $24 in his after school job. Are we seriously still trying to convince kids to study hard so they might become a doctor one day? 🧵

Flew Bali to New Zealand red-eye last night with my baby (on his 1st birthday). The drunk guys in front of us were real tough guys swearing at my baby for crying (as he fell asleep) and laughing loudly, waking him up again repeatedly. Babies are not the problem on flights.

@shortstackDandN @UjuAnya My 65 year old Nanna after my Grandad died: “I wish I’d divorced him 30 years ago. I also wish I’d tried some of that whacky backy stuff.” She met him at 15 and married at 16, he was 29. He loved her, but she wasn’t allowed to work or have her own life. 6 kids keeps you tied.

@FreedomNZ2022 This was really hard to watch. If she was a nurse she would have some idea of what killed that lamb. Pneumonia most likely. Sounds like she is making excuses for her lack of knowledge.

@kvetchings @carol_stirling I’m kind of glad they did it and got caught, because it shows people that they won’t get away with trying that. It’s not the fear of punishment that prevents crime, it’s the likelihood of being caught.

@proustmalone My country’s airforce base sits beside a primary school. A fence is all that separates them. We still use leaded petrol in aviation. When I suggested people get their children tested for lead exposure I was laughed at by people with zero medical knowledge. Nobody tested.

@M0ATH @buitengebieden Wow he saw the plane flying overhead and thought it was a bird of prey, that’s why he froze!! My rooster did the same when he was little.

@sarahjaneparton @StereoIncognito He’s only recently completed a long sentence for attempting to murder his stepmother. If PP supports him then her motivations are not at all about protecting women. RWNJ’s Trojan horse.
