Having to keep your phone in your hand when crossing Elizabeth and flinders street intersection because if you put it in your pocket the Bluetooth cuts out.

Huh, interesting. Mine used to cut out a top of Lonsdale and Spring st. Anything to do with having a train station below?

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago

Probably, since it craps put at the ground floor escalators in Melbourne central as well.

It's not only dresses that women get short changed on pockets. As a man, the shirt pocket and inside jacket pockets are up nice and high on my body to keep the BT connected.

I'm not sure if it's a large man thing, but I can block my own BT, If my phone is in my back pocket and I'm bent over gardening, my BT drops out.

I have Bluetooth permanently switched off on my phone, same with wifi

iow, I use it as a phone and camera. I have a few apps, only a few. Like dictionaries and such.

I'ma label this as TMI just in case lol

TitleI had a pap smear last week, my first one ever (I'm 31, I know I should have had it waaaaay earlier) and I still feel weird as heck down in there. Doc was lovely, absolutely no complaints, but I am most certainly not a fan of the process. When I pulled my dacks back up and sat down again, she placed the smear stick thing on her desk, and the end was red - gave me the heebies. She asked if I bleed a bit during sex, which I do and said yes, but I thought it was just little tears. Apparently my cervix is swollen. Go figure.

I should apparently get my results in another week or something.

In other news, my cat is so damn cute! Here's a pic of him mid-yawn with his pretty white belly, he lets me pat his belly without losing his mind (mostly haha)

The bleeding thing would alarm me. Your partner(s) never raised concerns?

I could hear a noise outside so I went out and saw bats circling next doors fruit trees. I quickly ran back inside and shut the door. Now I know what little dog barks at when he's out there at night.

First fledgling of the season made it through their first night. Although I think mum has decided she's done because it's been screaming all morning to be fed and she's not been by.

Do you add anything to your wash to make your clothes smell nicer? Can I add a little eucalyptus oil to every run?

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You can buy stuff like this scent booster. Eucalyptus oil can have a pissy smell after a while.

[–] fullkitwanker@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ooh thank you CEO. I liked the strong smell of Eucalyptus oil but it never stuck to my clothes. I'll try the scent booster.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

I use eucalyptus washing liquid and that's it. I used to use a bergamot liquid but I can't find that here.

I suppose you could add one drop, and only one drop, to the machine/load
