I don’t know but worth a try. Thank you

Sometimes I do, but if it’s the news for example then it is already finished. I never had this problem at the last place so I wondered if it was the wifi but that doesn’t make sense either

Hive mind, I need to pick your collective wisdom.
My tv is struggling to stream more than 2 days in a row before I have to switch it off at the wall and walk away for a few mins. That seems to reset it but a couple of days later, it happens again. I’m so over it! What am I doing wrong?

Hey hey!

As a truly progressive leader with those things called values, today I'll be:

Getting Labour off X immediately and calling for it to be banned.

Calling for AoNZ peacekeepers to join any such European force to Greenland. (What a time to be alive...)

*How about you real chippy?*

I’ve just taken some ibuprofen and am watching my husband unload the trailer by himself.

Omg I’ve ripped something in my shoulder/neck. Hurts so much. Was dragging the trailer out the gate. Have a long drive tomorrow. Could be interesting

Just been to IKEA and I have sussed their recipe for success. Make exits almost impossible to find, for both the shop and carpark. I went in last Thursday…

My first student flat was on Russell St. Many a life saving pie was purchased from that dairy on a Sunday morning

Finally!!!
I pushed through lots of pain to finish her. Really need to sell her quickly, & for as much $ as I can possibly get… definitely wanting at least $1500 as she’s very big.
78.5cm x 70cm.
Please share widely, I would greatly appreciate the help.

Kia ora koutou,
Maraenui Bilingual School is looking for sponsorship as we take on Manaiakalani from 2026. We are a school in an area of high social deprivation but also amazingness that constantly fills my heart with joy.

Give a man a fish and someone with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about people getting free handouts. Teach a man to fish? Yeah, that person with a thousand fishes is going to bitch about that too.
