1am! Wanna turn on my slow cooker about then? Promised hubby beef brisket for lunch.

I'm in the Qantas Melbourne First Lounge - slow cookers would be among the furthest from my mind.

e.g. Do I really need another Pomerry?

Have it with a glass of water.

I do have other thoughts; many of them were sympathetic to those on the aircraft, who after a 14 hour flight, landed, but had to wait another unknown time hour to get off the aircraft.

With over 1800 lifetime flights I have been in similar situations, but as long, perhaps not.

Done!

My problem is what I feel as lack of fresh air. That what I hate, I need air movement.

 

[serfty]

Done!

At the midnight I set the slow cooker and went to bed (never used it overnight before).

About 3am, husband wakes me, to tell me something is cooking in the kitchen!!!

Yes dear, stealthy criminals broke into the our house and started a beef brisket while we slept.

Imagine how much happier you will be if you stopped caring about people that dont affect you.

Is that right? Great advice from someone who loves putting people down with posts sch as "This is so and so.... and look how they annoy me...."

Took advantage of our high dollar over the last few days to pay the balances for Giraffe Manor and Singita. So all paid up for our trip in September - just so long to wait though!

Your post is not incorrect but the thing is, I dont think of the person after our ships have passed for those few mins.

Edit: And no, its not "loves putting people down". Sometimes the behaviour is extraordinary that Im commenting on it.

Ear guages. Gross or not?

One of my nephews is currently terrorising the toddlers by sticking a pencil through his.

We've got cricket in the back yard happening... with a running hose for some reason.

And did you know about this?

Never tell us that some-one is having a go at you, again. Or 'I'm entitled to my opinion aren't I?'

So is it bad form, when you leave a family lunch, to take your unopened Woolies/Coles choc cake with you?

You can anytime you like.

depends if they wanted to keep it or not. Usually at our family lunches, everyone is fighting over NOT keeping the leftover junk.

Having a conversation with brother last week regarding parents house and dad listening.

"No dad, we won't be doing any of that as long as you or mum are around."

I think splitting the house into a sort of duplex would be a good idea down the track.

Quite warm weather in AKL - so it feels appropriate to watch ‘the sweatiest movie ever’ Cool Hand Luke on TCM tonight.
