About a dozen people have blocked me today for daring to point out that a bloke going to the footy on his day off isnโt the end of the world.
Apparently having a different opinion and not backing down when challenged means you get blocked.
Thatโs democracy and free speech.
Come at me if you want.
Iโm sick of this mother at the comedy show story.
Iโm a mum and a grandmother and a strong advocate for breastfeeding.
But babies donโt belong at comedy shows. Leave the baby at home if you absolutely have to go out. Or donโt go out.
I have had a horrific week. Something I will have nightmares about for some time to come. But a lovely gesture today brought the first smile in many days.
Thank you

How is an entire workforce and organisation to blame for one employee who turns out to be a murderer?
There are 19,000 police in NSW. One is a jealous murderer. Not all of them. The is is ridiculous.
If he worked for Telstra are we all cutting off the internet in protest?
@9_Moley
Donโt invade the pitch and you wonโt get tackled.
Has zero to do with violence against women - stop trying to push that narrative in this situation.
So. Went and sat with my dying father for a couple of hours this afternoon.
One thing I know from the last two years watching both my parents at the end of their lives and seeing my grandchildren born
Stop your whinging
LIVE your life.
Itโs short and the end is bad.
All the discussion around domestic violence and murder of women at the hands of their current or former partners.
And the question - but what can men do?
Well. Letโs start with organisations like the
@NRL
not allowing DV offenders to remain in the game. In any capacity. Yeah?
Iโm sick to death of the Scomo pile on. Leaving twitter till everyone shuts the fuck up.
Last time I checked he doesnโt have a magic wand to make drought end, or a rain making dance, and I donโt think he can magic the fires away that humans started.
First time Iโve been out of the house since I got home from hospital. And look who I bumped into. Bless them. Wished them all the best. Everyone feeling positive.
I say this every year. The
@NZWarriors
supporters are the absolute best as an away fan
Passionate. But very respectful.
I never feel worried over here - unlike somewhere like Suncorp where I cop abuse every time.
About 20 people just said - bad luck mate and shook my hand
This morning my baby boy went home - back to work tomorrow.
He has been looking after me for a month.
That meant getting up in the night. It meant helping me shower. Heโs done cooking, housework, washing, shopping.
I could not be more proud or more grateful. Heโs a good man.
Disappointed. Stunned. Angry.
Honestly completely over footy to be frank.
I support my local club and have all my life. Doesnโt mean I condone stupidity.
And makes me very pissed off that a young bloke who is a local junior with a bright future is dumb enough to fuck it up
Does anyone else see the irony that for the first time in my adult life I have had to PURCHASE plastic bin liners because I no longer have any shopping bags to recycle for this purpose?
If you havenโt watched the investigation in the the Ghost Train fire at Luna Park on

It fascinates me the women who sign up for โfarmer wants a wifeโ and burst into tears when the sheep are being mustered because she realises they will end up as food. โIโm a vegetarianโ
HELLO ?!?!
So this tall guy in a
@GWSGIANTS
beanie gets in the lift at the hotel as Iโm heading down to walk to the game.
He asks about the Sharks v Storm he said good Luck, good on you for travelling. I say good luck to your team tomorrow - nice chat.
Turns out itโs Phil Davis !!

Ok. Iโm seriously considering getting these done. No profit but I donโt want to loose money either

RT or ask your friends. If I get enough takers to make the print set up worth it - itโs on
Anybody who abuses or assaults a small business owner all their employees for being asked to scan the QR code or wear a mask in their business premises is a piece of absolute shit

@mrbargearse
Thank Bargey. Very succinct.
And he went for blonde attractive women - and the fact he was stopped by one in uniform is the perfect final statement.
PSA. had a lot of shit over the last year in my life now happily sorted
My father is in aged care and finally settled. We sold his house and have settled his affairs
Arranged to sell my house.
A fucked up one sided man situation is well behind me
Renegotiated my work contract
Had a shitty result some scans yesterday. A big cry today. Over being a fucking cripple.
But (thanks to almost a year of counselling) Iโm grateful for the positives in my life.
I can take care of myself
Iโm self-sufficient financially
And some special kids and grandkids๐ฅฐ
@_shanmoho
Be nice. My daughter married the โstay overnightโ guy. In fact he lived with us in my house for 3years. He is now the father of my grandchildren and he does all my handyman stuff. Couldnโt be without him.
Remembering my Mum today.
4 years. But more like 12 since we actually lost โherโ to dementia.
itโs awful and itโs evil and itโs terrifying. I hope it never happens to me but I fear that it will.
Could it be argued that making an exemption for a kid too young to play may have exposed his body to more stress than is safe for someone his age?
Facing surgery now.....
The age limit is there for good reason
Just worth noting. Jayden Brailey one of the nicest blokes in the game.
He was waking into a cafe as I was leaving - said โOh hi how have you been? Howโs the leg?โ We had a lovely chat - down here for a catch up with the lads and the family.
Youโve got a good one Newcastle
A terrible tragedy occurred at Little Bay this week and a young man lost his life
A few days later itโs still a dominant story on the news and discussions of how to prevent this
On average, one woman a week is murdered by her current or former partner.
Just an observation
Just watching this protest on the news - about 15,000 they reckon and one of the things they are protesting is vaccination
Truly. I give up.
I have never felt more hopeless about the ignorance of the general population.
The level of stupid is fucking astonishing
I find a new reason to be humbled each day.
My son in law is installing a grab rail in my shower so I feel secure when I get home.
His brother (carpenter) is re-screwing the handrail on my stairs and installing one on the other side as well.
Fine considerate young men.
Donโt waste time.
Donโt delay doing what you need to do or should do for happiness.
Donโt be unhappy. The prime of your life really is incredibly short.
Be careful. Plan for your own financial freedom but enjoy life as well.
Donโt take anyone or anything for granted.
Hey
@Channel9
Interviewing (and I presume paying) Meghan Markleโs dead beat dad makes you look really bad.
I for one will be boycotting. And I encourage everyone to do the same.
Feeding that monkey - very low attempt at โnewsโ.
@OiSimmo
Does no one else remember him arguing with the ref while Alex McKinnon was on the ground??? This is how he is.
I have zero respect regardless of how many points he has scored or games he has played.
I helped a woman in her 80โs with a trolley and a walking stick onto and off a moving ramp at Westfield.
I had a toddler and a stroller and heaps of bags of my own.
But I could not walk past her in obvious distress - although I saw a coupe of dozen able bodied people do so?
30 years ago today my daughter was born. She has now given the world her own precious daughter to share (and soon a boy as well)
Little did I know on that day she would become my best friend, toughest critic and greatest suppprt
My life changed that day. For the better forever
Andโฆโฆ itโs happening
Instead of retiring like I had been seriously considering (to be fair because of things happening in my current job of 14 years)
Iโm taking on a likely 5 year contract that is very favourable to me.
Older people are recognised!!
Excited and scared.
To be fair if you havenโt thought about this until 35 then ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ
If you havenโt got a bloke now - the next four weeks arenโt gonna make a whole lot of difference to your fertility plans.
Iโm really mad. Lockdown extended another 4 weeks. This is a joke. Weโre being robbed of our lives, time we will never get back. As a 35yo single woman who would like to have a family one day, these months dictate whether or not that can happen for me. Mad is an understatement
And here I am walking around the house without any sticks, vacuuming and mopping and doing kitchen stuff.
My daughter reminded me today - when she came with me to see the new surgeon the first time - he said Iโll have you walking by Christmas.
and I didnโt believe him
Been to the GP. Annual blood test results and general check up.
Lots of ticks. Sheโs very happy. Perfect health.
Swing past the bakery on the way back for a treat - thatโs ok right?
Captains log:
Day 29 in the air conditioned room. Today I am going home. Scared and nervous but also ready to get out of here. A whole new phase begins. My kids are legends and have everything in the house prepared ready for my return. Rehab/physio/hydro continues January.
I STOOD, with the frame behind me as a safety net, long enough to make damper pastry. Even rubbed the butter into the flour by hand.
This is a recovery milestone and a personal achievement
Just off the phone from a workmate/friend whoโs son tried to take his own life last week.
In hospital with a brain injury now and she is understandably beside herself and shattered.
Trust me. You are having a good day today. Not matter what little things seems large.
@9_Moley
Donโt become one of them Tony
The police found 400 people not isolating at home when they should be.
How would any more rules suddenly make people comply when they wonโt comply with the rules now?
@dailytelegraph
Is that not beholden on the Labour Party to do their due diligence BEFORE putting her forward for a Labour Senate seat!
NOW they bring it up? So they knew all along - thatโs a breach by them if so
Thatโs the problem. Heโs not a kid. Heโs an adult. In any other job heโd be expected to be responsible at that age
Everyone needs to stop mollycoddling these blokes on hundreds of thousands per year
Lying TO THE INTEGRITY UNIT.
Probably shows that pattern throughout his life.
