The totally off-topic thread

[Pushka]

According to the article both the mother and grandmother of the bride thought the pictures were funny.

Who really cares, each to their own. If they want to do that then let them. They should just be careful where they do it.

They crossed that line. They posted on social media and so subject everyone to it plus deeply offended the church. Which has now banned such weddings. So others impacted by their gross behaviour.

Guess its a Lisa Day at news.com.au today. Nothing else happening in the world today, Trump tweeting BS again?

I’m surprised Trump didn’t tweet about Lisa as it’s such earth shattering news. I never watch morning TV.

Thats the point, when and where. Literally half a dozen footsteps outside a church is not acceptable and Im not religious but can have respect for those that are.

Seriously, theres lots of opportunity in marriage to have your husbands dick waved in your face. No need to immotalise it and offend the land owners of the foreign country you are visiting.

Just a quick query - is there is any behaviour performed in public which you would draw the line at? Or is every gross thing imaginable OK under the banner "each to their own"?

They should just be careful where they do it.

Would that include outside your house?

First weddings, now some tv personally? Think you've got too much time on your hands, Denali! No mi interessa.

What you get from the Novotel for your 60th stay, plus a bottle of wine. I love these chocolates.

So mother, being 95 years old, has an occasional minor incontinence mishap if she is not careful. As she is on a DVA pension they will supply Tena or Poise for her and the DVA nurse who visits her said she would arrange it. The other morning she went to go out the front door and there was a large carton with 24 packs of 12 Tena napkins sitting on the doorstep. That makes 288 of them or about 9 months supply.
Then of course she had to find somewhere to put them all. She did think it was quite amusing though.

I certainly wouldn't draw the line at a couple having a laugh.

Some people are treating this couple as if they slaughtered some kittens.

I suppose they could be the classy couples that have weddings at the local RSL and local pub that end in 40 people fighting and police being called. Maybe I would draw the line at that behaviour in public.

Your mum is cute.

Octopasta! Natchies! Here's what and how we ate in 2017 (and what we should be sorry for)

And I totally agree with, "Put your hands together and give thanks to the revolt against the deconstructed dessert. If you've been pushed one chocolate soil too far...."

Lisa must only be earning $5 million/year and Karl is on $6 million/year. I can see why she's concerned and wanted to leave.

These "personalities" really need a reality check. The vast majority of people would never earn that money in a lifetime but they're being rewarded for reading a teleprompter.

Why on earth are the two situations related? Why should we condone either situation? Why do this in front of the church?

Is that what they were doing? Again, I guess you'd love any number of couples 'having a laugh' right outside your house, or a school - after all, "each to their own", right?

I had to watch the Today program today just to see if there were lots of false we love you statements.I was not disappointed.
As most of you know I had the misfortune to be on a cruise with red bandanna.It was 20 days.Lisa was there.She didn't want to be recognised.Was beautiful when no one did.

I can relate to this. I have 2 special needs children and received a similar type of delivery while I was out. I came home to find I couldn't get to my front door and had to move 5 boxes to get to the door, then had to find somewhere to store them. We were grateful to receive the delivery but would have preferred regular smaller deliveries rather than 9 months worth delivered at the same time. I ended up with a pile of boxes in my bedroom.

or a school

Did I mention how much I disagree with the 'safe' [sic] schools program

I think she is doing pretty well. She had an ileostomy in 1973 so has managed a stoma for well over 40 years. Added to that there have been multiple skin cancers as she was a dairy farmer's wife out in the sun. One of the lesions on her lip was removed when she was about 80. She counted 76 stitches on that one. Oh and did I mention she has an esophageal web which does impact on the types of food she can eat and anything chunky can get stuck. Her heartbeat is now very slow and she tends to nod off at random times. But she doesn't complain at all and this week has things on everyday except Wednesday.
She is still in her own home and does her own meals. I think the reason she is able to manage is that it is a small country town with good services (even though she pays for many privately). She has a cleaning lady, her hairdresser comes to her once a week, the gardener does the lawns etc if he sees that they need it. Whenever she needs to go any distance for medical appointments there is a car and driver. For things around the town she uses a mobility scooter. The only thing she doesn't do now is travel to see people as she says she is 'past it'.

Scotters are amazing for giving people transport freedom, my mum hates when hers goes in for service because she feels trapped at home.

. I thought for a minute you were referring to love_the_life's Scottish ancestry!

Speaking of which, anyone watch Outlander? Have read all the books for a period of 12 years+ and Gabaldon is still writing more. Outlander on Foxtel has all the stuff of GoT just spoken with a brogue!
