It’s been a week now and things aren’t getting any better. I’m still stuck in my house and I feel like my relationship with my husband is deteriorating. We’re not made for only spending time in our houses and only being together. We’re naturally social beings and have friends and family that we want to spend time with. This whole situation has been really tough and it makes me extremely
S: woah, what is this place?? Some sort of forum for old people to hang out, whingeing about how much their arms hurt? yikes, the internet sure has gone down the Tubes since we let you people on it! A: Now, young man, if you haven’t anything nice to say, then you should simply say nothing at all. S: Oii, granddad, do i come onto your internet and tell you
‘Where do you think you’re going?’ Alexi’s mother called as he barrelled down the stairs towards the back door. He skidded to a stop on the faded rug, cursing her bat-like hearing. ‘Just… out,’ he spun around to grin up at her. It didn’t work — she remained frowning at him. For a heart-stopping moment, he wondered if he was losing his boyish charm, and had to fight
Fifteen minutes until knock off. Even as the owner of my own plumbing company, I love knock off more than anything. I started as an apprentice plumber about thirty-five years ago now and then fifteen years into my career I purchased the company from my boss at the time. I’ve been the boss ever since and I absolutely love it. I love knowing that every second, every minute and every
My wife and I have lived in our new luxury home on the Mornington Peninsula for three years now. It hasn’t been the easiest transition, with so much of the house reminding us of the life our son was supposed to live. Sometimes, I swear I feel him out there in the wind enjoying the outdoor areas like he was supposed to. I assume that’s just a trick of my
I’m running late for my appointment with my careers counsellor. I’m a very on-time person usually, and so the fact that I’m running late would usually shock people. I’m not particularly shocked though. I’ve been saying for over a year that I want a career change, but I haven’t actually acted on it. Even though I know I’m severely underpaid and I would be much better off working somewhere else,
My housemates are literally at war with each other. Every morning I wake up to the sound of one of my housemates screaming at the other. It’s pretty exhausting if I’m being honest. Especially because I don’t care about what they’re fighting about either – I don’t shower, you see. I’m a blokes-bloke, and I don’t want to smell like soap and flowers every day. Women like the smell of
My boyfriend keeps getting migraines which are really scary for him and really upsetting for me. He works as an electrician, so is always up on the roof or ladder, or dealing with some really intricate and potentially dangerous electrical work. He also spends a lot of time driving between jobs and worksites, which makes it risky if he gets a migraine. He seems to get migraines most often when
I went on a fifth date with the boy. I wish I didn’t have to test him like this so early on in our dating experience, but I need to look out for the red flags early. I’ve been burned too many times before. So anyway, I got to his house because once again he didn’t want to come to my house, and he had a car parked in his
Can the weekend just hurry up!!!! I’m so ready to party. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but I’m so toey to get outside, see my friends and have a good time. We’re all going to the pub tonight to watch our favourite basketball team play in its first-ever finals series! We’re literally about to watch history unfold before our eyes, and it’s only four hours away. There
