Q. How long does it take to process a god damn tax return?

It's been almost a month now, I want my ****ing money.

I'm not sure. I did my tax return and didn't notice when it came in. Whoops!

 

[Strangled Cat]

Depends on how much you are selling it for- I'd go registered mail if it's money you don't want to lose. ie- you can prove you've sent it and that it's been received. Not sure what cost that adds to your postage price, though.
Otherwise all you need to do is walk into the local post office- smaller ones have more helpful staff- and they can advise you as to what to pack it in and postage options and price. They sell small boxes, padded bags etc. that cost a couple of dollars. Otherwise you can just wrap it in a couple of layers of cardboard to protect it. Even just cut up a cereal box.

Oh- and you acquire life skills by watching other people do things and asking when you can't figure something out. People aren't born with life skills- and some people don't like trying new things so take longer to learn life skills.

Trying things, fcuking things up and learning from my mistakes was the most effective way I learned life skills. Ideally the fcuking up part should be kept to a minimum, but the key is to learn from your mistakes and to never make the same mistake twice.

How do I kill a spider I reckon has about 5 inch legs currently folded unless up that is on my mums rooms door. It's between the door frame and the top of the door so it's shut out into The hallway .

Nothing long to hit it with so I can't jump on it when it falls. There's no spray and only I'm here ..

Should I open the door and hope it doesn't drop on me and let it claim her room?

Squash him!

Nah but I deadset hate spiders and cockroaches. May be scared of them but I still get them so I'm not scared scared. I literally stand close to them and let them do whatever in their little spot and not distract them until I've thought through what I'm gonna do so they don't move around.

I'm only scared of cockroaches though due to one night in Darwin this year. In Nov14-May15 me and my siblings and my dad needed a house and we got one off a drug dealer and the house was pure rotten. The walls and doors rotting and a few holes at the bottom of the walls. The house was cleaned vaccuumed every single day so it wasn't a matter of us being dirty pigs it was the fact the previous people before us were disgraceful. The owner of the house is a wog who wrote down his debts to other druggies on the master bedroom tile flooring which had marks everywhere mind you - in every room. The house made housos look like cleaners.

No matter how clean you could be you'd get a cockroach every single day and these ones fly - which is where I'm getting to. One night I killed a cockroach nothing out of the ordinary at about 3am. I won't lie I was kinda out of it and at that time of my life I was sitting on Bigfooty and other sites all hours of the morning. Still am but not close to that extreme. Anyway another cockroach came at me so it was a one off night where I copped two. Suddenly a 3rd one came flying off a curtain direct to me in the opposite side of the room and I didn't literally but I shit it and since then I've been scared off them. And later again a 4th one came but come by then I was in ninja commando mode where everything was coming for me in a paranoia state which was stuffed.

What's even more stuffed is I reckon 90% of Darwin's drug users/sellers/fiends and other criminals including one murderer would always rock up to the house. Some are actually okay people and I have awesome instincts like this I could always pick the pieces of shit from the half decent.

Later in February that Greek sold the house to an Indian and the suburb we were in sometimes goes underwater during Cyclone Season dunno how a government ever gave permits to build there but oh well. Our house never went underwater but if someone showered the bathroom drain would flood the room, or if we did dishes the water wouldn't go down, if we did a shit it would literally go out this thing on the side of the house and all the toilet paper in chunks and shit everywhere would reek one side of the house.

So my dad didn't pay rent for 10 weeks because he didn't see a point when the bastard Indian didn't fix it and it's his responsibility as owner of the house. In the end we got kicked out May 13th I stayed at a mates for a couple days and I bailed on my dad, siblings and came to Adelaide alone and no one knew.

Now as of today my mum got my brother, my dad moved to Adelaide a month and a bit agoand has said I am dead to him which doesn't bother me. We are both too stubborn to talk to the opposite but I highly doubt he wants this he just doesn't wanna seem weak and give in first. I ain't weak so he'll have to be on his death bed before I give in

May aswell tag NSFB Hell Kitty Teriyakicat as they knew off this but not fully.

For different reasons I had a falling out with my Dad. We haven't spoken since 2008. I can't see it changing any time soon. The BEST thing anyone can do is rid their lives from toxic people. It doesn't matter if they're family, you've got to look out for number one in this instance, so good on you for holding firm. In that situation I would have been long gone, too!

I think that's it, although its name is a bit of a misnomer as they never ever come inside the house.. On the most extreme of hot summer days they have actually started dying and dropping of my patio when it's got too much for them.

When I moved to Adelaide, the first job I got was in a workshop where in Summer, Redback spiders would drop down from the roof and hover over our work benches. On out benches we'd have among the vast array of spray cans (WD40, battery terminal protector) a can of Mortein. The service manager would ensure there was one on every bench throughout Summer.

You wanna get rid of insects around your house?

Get yourself a live in blue tounge lizard.
(Dunno if ours is still here, havent seen it in ages, but since we noticed one under our porch we've had NO ants in the house and hardly anything else either)

I have one, it must be lazy because there seems to be more insects around than ever.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Oh so you're getting a crush on me?

I might like weird things, who knows?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Don't you EVER use that on me!!!
I makes me so so SO sad!!
I just love that little guy and that gif breaks my heart.

You know I was just joking.

 

[Teriyakicat]

Only if you hold it inside your mouth for half an hour and threaten to bite IT. They will not attack you or come anywhere near you by choice. Chuck 'em out but don't kill them, they are the good guys.

White tails? Pfft.

Black house spiders? Pfft.

Jumping jacks? Pfft.

Bullants? Pfft.

Blowflies/Bushflies? Pfft.

Looks like you're armed for bear, allrighty! You got a problem with creepy crawlies?

 

[Teriyakicat]

Mustn't have been a very good return. I sure notice mine- if I ever get anything, that is. I seem to bleed money to the ATO every year- and that's when it's not gushing out!

That's a good motto to live by, Strangled.

I have one, too- more than one, actually- and it's too busy eating mulberries atm to worry about insects!

Well I'm glad it's driveable and that you are ok.
And you'll have a good story to tell your mates and family. Like a fishing tale- the size of the too will keep growing.

(Not that I've heard of many Roos in fishing tales- but you know what I mean )

iirc I think they tend to come inside a lot more when you have had an extended period of dry weather.

I wish as a human you could somehow just make contact with the queen ant and just cut a deal, I'll drop off 2 kilos of sugar next to your nest every summer if you agree to keep your stupid workers the **** out of my kitchen pantry.
