The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

I think whats worse is your partner, spouse, whatever is suppose to be the person you can turn to for support and to protect you when needed.

I feel in trying to make out hes this magnanimous guy while giving others the opportunity to call her a cough (which shes not, but some of his older voters/haters will think that).

AND he doesnt want a paternity test? F you, Barnaby. That child deserves to know hes real paternity AND if its the ex fiance's kid, you wont have a choice in the testing because her ex fiance might be the father/go legal.

Well, the paternity test isn’t up to him to decide. I think all he’s saying is that he will support the child and taking it at face value. Unfortunately marriages can go bad. That’s reality. They’ve all lost something haven’t they. And only the current woman has gained anything.

I've been donating to Kiva for years and for more than $1000 I think there's less than $5 that hasn't been repaid

Is it tax deductible?

Is it tax deductible?

Good question and I can't find the answer on their website.

I've been putting in on my tax but only the money you put in and not the amount you relend. eg I put in $100 and once that is paid back then I will relend $100 and might put in another $20 so I claim the initial $100 and the extra $20.

I wonder if the other man reckons he's dodged a bullet. Barnaby is saying he's going to assume financial responsibility and regardless of what happens later there's no refund for Child Support payments.

Fabulous display again today by RAAF Roulettes. Was I prepared for it? Nope. I’d look at Saturday’s time not today so my plan to get to open ground was screwed as I was about to leave then heard them in the distance. We are close to the track, and east of it so the Roulettes circle around our area so I’m taking photos in a circular fashion as they fly north, east, South and west of me. In a spin so to speak.

Today’s skies were cloudy so did a bit of instagramming. I’ve been posting on insta too and have had lots of likes from pilots, airforce, and Adelaide 500 Team. So I’d like to think they are making special effort to fly around me :j

This mornings batch. This time I knew to hang around after it went quiet as they returned for another speccie run.

These are all taken looking west, towards the track and then the sea (way over)

And this is looking to the East. And my awful hated tree in the picture.


Insta killed the red of the planes that showed clearly so posting a couple again

Can the ongoing political discussions not go into a different thread?

Not sure, but staying up until 3;30am talking with old friend from school makes the next day a challenge ~ especially when I have a flight home today.
At this rate my husband is going to question my sanity. Sydney girls night out - leave club at 1am, Melbourne girls weekend - up until 3;30am, my normal bed time is 9;30pm. I am getting too old for all these late nights.

Giving back to the community? Buy coffee trees in northern Laos, a more sustainable operation to growing opium for the local hill tribes.

Ah. This is like anthropology to me. Do you want them to go? Or not go?

Opposite Waldorf Astoria (staying here for 2 nights) is a Kyloe steakhouse and they have a 20% discount coupon for first visit.

I guess we'll leave a 20% tip if its as good as we hope.

Visited our favourite display home today - I just have to be patient for 2-3yrs.

But did decide that I dont want a kitchen sink in my island bench and leave it as one big bench. I dont wash dishes/use sink often so why ruin a stone benchtop by sticking a sink in the middle of it.

No sink? So how will you wash crystal glasses or vegetables etc? Or are you looking at a different spot just not in the island. Mine is in an island and looking out into the room. Much better than against a wall I think.

ours is in the middle as well - don’t end up with nasty splashes on the windows. I couldn’t do without a sink either - everything I can goes in the dishwasher, but I still use my sink a fair bit. As you say crystal glasses (although I have what I call my “kitchen” crystal and they go in the dishwasher). I hand wash the wedgewood dinner service as well on the few occasions we use it. Also plastic lids and then of course veggies, fruit etc.

Ms FM has just started the design process - her builder will either do custom designs (too expensive for her), , or modify an existing plan. I am almost as excited as if it was me Her current house is on 950m2 which should give them enough flexibility.

I think the bit that may have confused me was when you said you hardly ever wash dishes/use sink. I couldn't do without my sink and a half (not a full double). Saucepans are all washed by hand, as are cutting and cheese knives, wine glasses, plastics etc. The only things that go in the dishwasher are really the crockery (except for that which has gold trim and is used rarely) and kitchen glassware.
