    When my offspring were teenagers (last century 😂) their peers had a game of, “your boyfriend can only have 2”. Smart, funny, good looking or rich. Always a lot of discussion among the friend group but girls inevitably picked “smart & funny”.

    ACT’s gun policy fucking terrifies me. Knowing the govt is definitely going to make it easier to own a gun “because you have the right to protect yourself” is the worst thing that could possibly happen to this country. If you’re not worried about this, you fucking well should be.

    I love how IKEA tells you how many screws, bibs n’ bobs you should have left over that you should discard. Mate, I’m a NZer. We don’t throw out perfectly good odd screws. We keep them in a jar for just in case. They’re for the estate cleaners to throw out when we’re dead.

    My friend was a goalie as a kid for a pretty good team. They were playing a terrible team and my friend got so bored he lay down in the crease and actually fell asleep. The other team scored their only goal of the season.

    Could we please just acknowledge that two people are getting married surrounded by people they love and who in turn love and support them. You and I haven’t been invited. The fact that the bride’s job is PM is completely irrelevant.

    Does anyone else think the Auckland mayor Wayne Brown is absolutely rubbish at the job?

    19/ But if you think about it I do live my childhood wishes. Life is peaceful and safe and that’s pretty damn cool. Anyway, that’s the end of my thread. Thanks for sticking with it. Here’s a photo of the cat.

    Oh my gosh y’all! I just spoke to the pharmacist and the locum pharmacist is going to drive all the way out here to deliver my meds. It’s a 45km trip out of her way! And she even offered to go to the supermarket for me if I needed anything. (I don’t). Kindness. Pure kindness.

    Here I am thanking VICTOR HEDMAN for introducing me to ice hockey and the Lightning and why I’m here from New Zealand to see him play. He was surprised to learn we’re not a hockey country. I know right! I told him how much joy the Lightning bring me and he was just lovely. And
