I was just looking in my junk email folder and I almost missed seeing an important email from the Director of the FBI. Apparently I was almost scammed out of lots of money, which means I am entitled to millions of dollars in compensation. But the FBI put me on a blacklist for my dealings with untrustworthy individuals, so I can't get the money and might even be arrested! Fortunately the Director of the FBI believe I'm inoccent though, and they want to help me clear my name so I can get the compensation. I just need to send some personal details and all will be well. It's a bit weird that the FBI are using a yandex.com email address, but it has the name of the actual Director of the FBI in the email so it must be legit.

Edit: Someone who just won the lotto wants to randomly give me $10 million as well, and I've got a couple of million inheritance coming my way if I can just clear up a little misunderstanding about being reported to be dead. What amazing luck I'm having.

Because they wanna be your friend. Sky pretty

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

aw, they must sense I like dogs 🥰

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 4 weeks ago

They want you to scratch the sweet spot above the tail. Plus you've probably got clean pants on.

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 points 4 weeks ago

Another 7 hours in a row!

But woke up in one of those existential crisis moments unfortunately.

I'll take what I can get.

The peregrines are back at Collins Street and laying again. https://www.youtube.com/live/oibsohQ14cY

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 8 points 4 weeks ago (3 children)

Just went and laid in the sun for half an hour. 9/10 would recommend ☀️

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 5 points 4 weeks ago

I think I'm going to have a walk outside on my next break. I'm also looking forward to being in Melbourne tomorrow, predicted to be 20 degrees!

[–] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago

Thanks for the suggestion!

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago

I have steak for dinner and was planning on making salad to go with it. But I think I'm going to do vegies in cheese sauce instead. Plus onion gravy. Maybe potat.

[–] Eagle@aussie.zone 7 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Always potat.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 6 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

Last time I did potat I went overboard and ended up eating three.

Gym, shopping then the last responsibility free zonk.

Next weeks timetable is drawn up and ready to go. Last time if some of you remember, was a shitfest as far as upskilling or having any kind of positive experience while I was looking for work.

Defs biggest change is being off suboxone this time.

Would anyone like to have a bath on Titanic?

[–] TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Great article. Fully endorse. My own grandmother would have been completely comfortable with such arrangements in early 1900s Sydney.

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

To their credit, they stocked very nice soap

Wrote first new song since things changed. It’s guitar and vocals only so it’ll be perfect for open mic in a few weeks!

Time to do covid test

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Results?

[–] LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 4 points 4 weeks ago

It's negative for covid and influenza a and b! On my third day of symptoms, so I wonder if it's just a cold. I did sleep a lot yesterday though which doesn't normally happen with colds.
