Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
This post is in memory of Bot #001 who sadly blew away in the wind.
I have two big sacks of skippy based dried food. Fresh skippy has been unattainable lately. Also have a sheepskin blanket?
I am a language professional. We tend to believe firmly in descriptivism. Language is fluid and you can do whatever you want with it. There is no right or wrong. Nothing really upsets me except for when people say ‘an historical X’ or ‘an horrific X’ but even then it just makes me scrunch my nose up.
But there is one thing that I cannot accept. One thing that makes stop what I’m doing and just want to scream in disgust ‘WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU YOU CLOWN??’
And it’s when Americans refer to pasta as ‘noodles’
Especially if they call it a ‘lasagne noodle’
Dear readers, I have figured our why despite all the meds and other morning rituals I felt like a fork had been stabbed in my brain and all hope was lost.
The carefully made mocha this morning, I have just discovered, was but a mere hot chocolate - with the freshly ground coffee still waiting patiently in its canister, aeropress dutifully washed of yesterday’s hasty activities but not a second time… I’m not sure how to resolve these heinous vicious cycles where a lack of coffee causes a lack of coffee and therefore the end of the world.
Anyway, the situation is currently being rectified and I remain mortified at this horrific act of self-abuse
Oh no. If you don’t mind me asking do you make real ones or instant coffees?
Maybe you have a sensitivity to caffeine?
I almost never have instant coffee. I make mine with an aeropress. I think it makes sense that my brain was melting down without actual caffeine this morning because a. dependency and b. caffeine can help relieve head pain anyway and c. additional pain/bleargh from neck. Also that time of the month
Ah ok. I go between instant to ground coffee back to instant but I’ve been drinking a lot of instant lately.
I have heard of people who go through coffee withdrawals and it normally results in headaches and migraines.
Im hope it wasn’t too bad for you. Im thanks to your post I made a real ground coffee today.
How’s your neck after last night?
A quick recent history of the two Melbourne daily threads.
My son is playing PS5 and chatting with his mates in the next room.
My daughter is sitting with the cat in her lap, watching the footy and chatting with her friends.
My wife is sleeping on one couch😁
I’m on the other couch watching stuff on the tablet
This still counts as family time, right?
