    Can't enjoy myself

    After an incredibly exciting early life it took me a long time to find that balance, to be able to keep my emotions on a more even keel. Nothing really excites me any more but on the flip side nothing really upsets me or gets me depressed either. By comparison my younger years were like a...

    Bullying question

    You have to figure out responses that don't flatter their egos, don't give them what they want. Eventually if they can't get what they want from you they'll start trying elsewhere.

    Bullying question

    Just thought I should stress the importance of this. If you decide you want to talk to police then you go and talk to police. You don't threaten to call police, that will just make them extra angry and forewarn them so they can move to block you. Do something or don't. Don't discuss it with...

    Bullying question

    They really do behave like a drug addict, you've given them a taste of the drug they crave more than anything else in the world and now you want to take it away from them. No matter what you do it's not going to be a pleasant experience. I agree with Velociraptor that unless you're genuinely...

    Bullying question

    The one thing that all bullies have in common is that the more you give in to them the more they will demand. Conceding to their demands or trying to be conciliatory will always escalate the situation. There is no limit to how far they will go as long as their ego keeps getting stroked. That's...

    Post something Weird or Random

    The aftermath of a Category 3 cyclone - lots of mess but very little damage. 1 parked car got crushed by a falling tree, 1 business had it's roof damaged by a falling palm tree, and a window shade was torn away from the wall of the hospital. Power outages are a common thing in Darwin, pretty...

    Westall incident

    There's a crashed spaceship in Coober Pedy. They say it's a prop from the filming of Pitch Black but people from Wycliffe Well are suspicious. Wycliffe Well - Wikipedia

    Does anyone feel that they are now comfortable with social skills?

    I deliberately studied people and taught myself social skills when I was in my teens in order to be able to have a sex life, and I was very successful with that. Those same skills became incredibly important in every other aspect of my life too. In public situations I'm generally well liked and...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    A very popular breed for those in to self sufficiency is the Hyline Brown. They're prolific egg layers - at first. They'll lay every day for about 3 years and they don't seem to have an off season, but then they stop laying while they're still young enough to be good eating. And a tip about...

    Does anyone else dislike how short modern TV shows are compared to how long they take to get released?

    Another big issue from a foreign point of view is a trend in US produced shows that has gotten progressively worse and worse over the last few decades. The amount of screen time wasted on nonsense instead of actual program. To start with look at the difference in time spent on a program's...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    Just an extra idea - stopping the chooks from scratching out all your garden beds is quite easy. I also grew up with a chook pen in one corner of the yard. :) Lay some wire mesh down over the garden beds, plants can grow through the mesh but animals can't scratch away at them. This is often...

    Chicken problem AGAIN

    I had a similar idea but not quite so drastic. In rural hardware stores you can buy a plastic egg for a few pennies. These are used to let the chooks know where they're supposed to lay, they'll lay where ever they see another egg. So make a little box in the corner of your yard for them to lay...

    Delayed understanding?

    I think you're talking about Audio Processing Disorder. The short explanation is that it takes us longer to process sounds in to thoughts, and thoughts in to sounds. This affects many of us to varying degrees, me included. I'm fine talking to one person, I can handle two people at once pretty...

    Going Places

    I couldn't wait to be able to drive, and I started stealing Mum's car when the parents were out and driving it around the block at age 13. Yes, manual transmission, automatics were never all that common here until recently. It didn't take long for my parents to realise this of course, and my...

    Are You Eccentric?

    I'm similar in abilities, I never had to write a phone number down but soon discovered that I need to write it down anyway otherwise people think you're not taking them seriously and that you're just fobbing them off. I'm the same with names and faces too, completely hopeless there. One trick I...
