Has anyone used instant scripts for a medical cert before?
Thinking about using it as work is asking for a cert if I’m sick tomorrow as well.

Thanks, that’s reassuring to know.
There’s a blue tongue lizard chillin next to my water heater tank outside. Lilttle dude is just basking and loving life.
Not liking these rain/storm forecasts, I’m supposed to be heading up to the Rangers to go camping this coming weekend.
welp, good news or bad, there shall be brisket.
It’s at the point now where the smell is slowly driving us mad
Also, racism and anti-Semitism of some fam members is so subtly expressed. Most know it’s wrong, that’s why they state it in passive aggressive ways. 🤬 The stupid ones just repeat shit they hear on Fox. Then there are the ones with “inside” knowledge. 🙄
I’m so sick of the petty hate.
I hated experiencing that when my ex-stepdad used to live with us. It always gives me such uncomfortable feelings and so jarring too.
Glad he’s not here any more, though not saying that I myself am perfect, but doing my best to unlearn a lot of it that’s just imbued in our culture. So I sympathise with you a lot.
My family is full of them. Partners family is full of them. They know my thoughts but they have safety in numbers at family gatherings so don’t hold back. Not looking forward to Christmas and hearing everyone’s opinions on the voice. Or Gaza. Puts me in a shit mood for the holidays every single time.
I suspect the racists/idiots etc can detect my utter dislike and contempt for their views. And yet I listen to them carefully and try to understand what they are saying and why. Something they never seem to reciprocate.
in a way I do not enjoy these discussions at all.

I hung up my new solar lamp outside. Is pretty.
Hopefully it holds up to the weather OK.
That is beautiful. We have lights too for the sole purpose of not stepping in dog poo
lights
Little dog likes to line them up on both sides of the car.
eee that looks great.
we saw a big meteor streak across the sky last night , it might be part of the Taurids, which is cool 😊🌠
Has anyone used the new container deposit scheme machines yet? There’s one down the road from us, and we had a house-warming on Saturday so there’s heaps of beer cans and bottles to recycle, probably a whole $3 worth!
Did on the weekend.
Get the app on your phone first, and away you go.
Make sure you get the right one cause there’s 3 different operators.
Is it based on an app? I thought it just printed out a little voucher, that you could go and redeem at the local supermarket or something.
You need the app for then voucher.
It’s convoluted a bit.
Just watching The Batman, 2022. Gees that’s such a visually beautiful movie, great music and dialogue too.
ugh hubs is about to find out if he’s fired or has to fire half his team. Sucks.
more 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Shit be serious when he’s the hubs and not His Lordship. Hoping for the best 🤞
🤞🤞🤞🤞 from me as well

Interview done - went as well as it could have done, once I had to stop because my voice shook but she reassured me and I took a deep breath and went on.
A lot of the questions I’d prepared she didn’t ask and a couple she asked I hadn’t anticipated, but I got through them just fine and she could see how I’d think on the fly and (I hope) knew my stuff.
She said I’d probably hear by the end of the day, so fingers crossed!🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank you and thank you to all who crossed fingers for me earlier!
Best shower glass cleaner? I’ve used so many and can never get a perfect finish. Looks great from a distance but once you get closer the soap scum is still faintly there.
antikal. that stuff is magic. Can’t buy it here
Gumption baby. Wax on wax off. You can do your tiles and grout with it too.
Just (almost - missed a few spots) cleaned our almost 80 years old bath with gumption and a stiff brush. The landlord told us it was stained beyond repair, gumption cleaned it in minutes.

Gumption is the answer to a lot of cleaning problems. The more people who hear about this little Aussie invention the better.
I have this but never found a use for it. Always thought it was really abrasive. So do you put it on dry or wet glass?
I wet the glass then wet my sponge and dip it in to the paste, rub it on in circles, leave it for 10 to 15 minutes and rinse it off. Do a spot test first but I’ve never had a problem with it.
Jiff and a sponge. Soap scum removal requires a bit of rubbing, don’t believe any magic spray claims, it’s all marketing trash. Wet the surface, put some Jiff on a sponge, rub over, rinse off. Will sparkle like new.
Prevention is the best cure for that - get a squeegee and hang it by your shower, and have a rule that if you get the glass wet, you get every drop of water off it. Some of the shower sprays just reduce the surface tension to stop water sticking (i.e. they are a similar preventative measure to just wiping all the water off) - they only work if you use them every time (but wiping with a squeegee is easier, the reason those products exist is selling a consumable you use every time you shower is more profitable than selling a squeegee).
If over time, you repeatedly get it wet, and don’t let any liquid dry on it, you’ll eventually leach out all the scum (most Melbourne water is relatively soft - low calcium - so just water works eventually). If you really want to accelerate it, try something with oxalic acid in it, which will strip calcium from limescale - but repeated cycles of tap water and squeegee will eventually get the same result.
