What cheeses me off

[Quickstatus]

Centrelink sends a text message to advise they will be calling from a blocked number , prior to ringing

The problem then is the txt displays the number.

Actually comes through as Centrelink with no associated number

I wonder if Telstra offers hidden number SMS

 

[p--and--t]

Is there a way to send a txt with phone number hidden but the recipient can know who it's from?

If you have a normal mobile and send a text, regardless of if you have hidden number or not, your number will appear with the text.

Some businesses have more sophisticated facilities to replace the number with generic wording.

I dropped an earring on the floor in my Airbnb and just spent several minutes writing a note to say if you found it to please email me. And then translated it into Italian.

Packed up ready to go and I thought I’ll just have one more look and swept the floor and I found it. Attached is a photo of the floor so you can understand it’s not easy to find anything.

This is actually a record for me because I’ve been away nearly 3 weeks and normally I lose something before I even get to the first destination

Damn tessellated polished concrete! Very popular in 1960s public toilet dividers….

Ha! Mrs FB lost an earing this evening too. Fortunately the floor was much simpler and was later duly located.

They are very proud of it

@VPS Did you find it by getting down so that your eye was at floor level looking ACROSS the flooring. I find that works for me almost every time.

Mmm nope. Knee replacement recently means kneeling even on soft surfaces is tough. I just got a broom and swept the floor which of course I had done before without any luck

If I did that would find it extremely difficult and painful to get up.

My knees are at a point where if I get down on the floor, I think what else can I do while I'm here

That's how I'm starting to feel every weekend I rock up for a game of hockey!

If you've got grandkids then that's the time they pile onto you thinking it's a game.

When someone clever decides the staff carpark can only be accessed using a hospital staff card, forgetting that there are a number of other institutes on site whose staff also use the carpark. Couldn't get in to retrieve my car yesterday and had to wait for a hospital staff member to turn up

People who act in silos. Never think of consequences and likely don't even bother to check out the full story before acting.

Oh no I have kept many but the 24 photos of spilt between the kookaburra on the hills hoist in mum and dads backyard, along with a few of mum posing (?) they get shredded lol
The old family photos especially pre 1980 (down to the beginning of the century possibly earlier still finding out ) I am scanning and then they are going into a grab bag at the front door

And we got rid of many 'landscape' photos - you know the ones with no people in them and no label on the back so only a vague idea of where they were.

Like the University of Tasmania library and one of their periodic book purges (this Library hates books#) gave away history textbooks that the history lecturers set as students set reading every year.

# Yer actual books only occupy 2/3 of a floor of the five story library. Plus another 2/3 of a floor for historical collections. The rest of the Library is student admin, eating lunch spaces, relaxing and talking on your phone spaces, dozing spaces etc.

Librarians love nothing more than culling!

Not so much the case for her prescription sunnies........ the ocean is a big old place.
