When do you stop wishing others a happy new year

nnnnnn... now

 

[Catfish Alley]

I think about now. Once it gets into second week of January you're pushing it.

When do you stop wishing others a happy new year

There's no limit. Just if you know someone and haven't seen them since last year.

 

[Catfish Alley]

Ha. Nah, it would be weird in February let alone saying it to somebody in July.

What about if you haven't seen someone for a few years, do you have to wish them happy new year multiple times?

Has anyone moved back to where you grew up? I've spent the last week in the Blue Mountains, particularly Blackheath. I've loved it and think that I could quite happily retire here after I've finished traveling. However I wonder what it would really be like. Would I be disappointed that it wasn't the place I grew up in? Would I be continually bombarded with childhood memories that would become overwhelming? Especially as I'm a very nostalgic person and think about the past a lot. I've felt very emotional at times this last week..Anyway, definitely don't have any plans and it's probably unlikely it will happen but was contemplating what it would be like.

Apparently there is a word for this. "Hiareth", meaning "a homesickness for a time or place you can't return to".

That's interesting. I actually get that a lot. Places I've lived, vacations, when kids were a certain age etc.

I've lived in lots of different places but the Blue Mountains is the only place I really get this feeling for.

Can leaving electric windows down while car is off flatten a battery ? I'm at a loss on how my car died overnight.

No. How old is your battery? They're only good for about 3 years on average i think.

Put it on a charger. If it charges ok then something might have drained it. If it won't charge then it's reached the end of its life.

 

[Big Sauce 21]

Charged it last night and still wont start. Thinking either Starter motor or bad wiring on battery. Gave no signs of dying it just didn't start 12 hours after driving it the day before. Clicks then winds.

How do you kindly and lovingly tell people to shut the **** up?
I am making some big life changes and everyone wants to put their two cents in on what I should do next and the decisions I should be making. It's exhausing but I know it's coming from the right place so I don't want to be a campaigner but the pressure is eating me alive.

Im not taking advice and suggestions right now. Appreciate the offer. But pretty please, with sugar on top. Shut the **** up

If it’s coming from a good place you shouldn’t have to keep treating yourself. That’s just disrespectful. Just say thanks for the advice but I’m working through things and weighing up my options. Just give me some space to work it out.

Thanks for your input but I am finding all the differing opinions overwhelming so can we please change the subject now?

It used too be people old people move to Queensland to hang them up.

But it really depends on the person.
I guess being older you need to be enough to doctors and essentially things you need

Its quiet cold in those parts aswell.

If the price is right ️.

Ok so Gethelred I know is a no, but is it ok to eat spag bol with chop sticks? I've done this for a few years, so much easier, an asian noodle dish can actually be harder with all the different meat and veg, spag bol the sauce usually sticks to the spaghetti and it's quite easy, garlic bread to get the rest of the sauce at the end.

peternorth interested in your thoughts too #notracist
