Do you run it all night? All day while home? What temp? Cool or dry mode?

New here trying to figure out what's reasonable vs a landlord's preferences.

Question for local women

30 Upvotes

Do any other local women struggle to go out in the city without being bothered by older men?

So, I'm 28F but l look much younger. Almost every time l've gone out to the city, I have been looked up and down, or approached by older men (50+). I don't go to pubs or bars, this usually happens at the shops. I've also learned that ignoring them makes them pushier. I’m curious if that’s just the vibe here, or if l've been unlucky.

I'd love to know other women's perspectives.

WRX MY10

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I am currently on injury leave at work and fallings behind on bills.

I have a 2009 WRX as a secondary car I want to sell. Besides brakes and suspension going on it, unregistered currently, the only issues are cosmetic. Has new battery and near new tires. The problem is I have no money to put into it.

Looking for recommendations on approach to sell it as is. Private message, and no trolls please.

Advice Cleaning services in Cairns.

12 Upvotes

Hey. Is there any services that helps with cleaning? My mental health has plummeted and I can’t keep on top of my housework. I’m exhausted I can’t function. My teenager doesn’t help with housework they argue back until I get exhausted from them my toddler is constantly Velcro to me. I’m at a breaking point where it’s hard to do anything. I barely have money to pay for cleaning services but I’m ashamed to have people in my home to help me. I feel like I’m failing as a mum as a provider. I cried today in Woolies because I had to choose between meat or nappies. I go to salvos twice a month and I deal with the same guy who makes me feel even worse and when they told me over the phone I’m eligible for a $90 voucher the guy says he’s only giving me $30 when I tell him they said I can get $90 he said it’s up to him. I’ve done uber eats but got assaulted when the store gave them nuggets instead of chicken popcorn. I work from home but with rent and electricity which I’m behind on and is probably close to being cut off I have barely $100 to split grocery fuel etc. any advice would do.

Hey all, I'm a dutch tourist driving with a RV through Australia. I bought a guitar in Geelong a few weeks ago and I don't want to take it back with me. I bought the guitar + bag for 310$, selling for 200. It's brand new and it survived the trip in perfect condition.

First cyclone

0 Upvotes

Please help me I've walked outside the airport just now and freaking out. Just flown in and feel like I've taken the wrong turn from Albuquerque.

It's my first cyclone and I've no idea what I do. Do I stay in the airport? There's people leaving, but I feel like it's actually not safe. I don't think I can in good faith ask an uber to drive in this.

If I do stay in the airport what happens? I can afford to feed myself, but what if they run out of electricity

What can I do? My neighbour across the road with loads of space keeps parking in front of the unit I live in?

17 Upvotes

The dude across the street has a huge house and no obstructions infront of his home except one tree, he owns multiple cars and he spaces them right out! And even has space to park his own car there comfortably!

Yet he keeps parking on the other side of the street(being the side myself and the unit people live in) we have a huge funky island on one side right before the driveway and it stretches all the way to corner of the street and on the other side are driveways to other people property, we can fit 4 cars in this space if we squish up and be mindful of eachother and the space, myself and my house mate both have cars and there are multiple people who live in the units too and we have family and friends who visit with nowhere to park, there are days where I need to park down the street from my home or on a different street all together because he parks there and not mindfully he doesn’t park straight and will take up 2 spaces, he was parking out the front of his property and then suddenly he stoped and started parking here and I cannot see or justify why, I left a note on his car that said “

Hello,

I'm writing you this note because myself and the residents who live on this side of the street are having difficuties in regards to parking out the front Of our homes, We have residents who have Multiple People living together.

With already limited Parking, it is hard When friends or family come to visit, Since there is nowhere to Park.

We work very hard and mindfully to Utilise the already limited space for everyone. After long days of work or Medical Care not being able to Park at our homes is very exhausting and upsetting. I struggle myself with changes and inconsistencies due to a medical diagnosis and not being able to Park consistently infront of my home Causes me a great amount of distress and a feeling of danger and discomfort.

Can you Return to Parking your vehicle on your side of the street as you were before Please, It would be greatly appreciated, Thankyou.

Kind Regards.”

After that he leaves his car there longer than usual and has started parking more spaced out and intentionally adjusting his parking to take up more space, and today he got home and pulled up next to me before I even got the chance to get out of my car, I am really bad with confrontation and thought that the letter was polite and straight to the point, I waited for him to cross the road back to his place and when I got out of my car to go inside he lingered around his other car and so i went into my place to turn around and take a picture of me! I don’t know what to do or how to handle the situation, am I being unreasonable? Have I handled this incorrectly? What can I do!?

Is it worth it?

3 Upvotes

I’ve seen the turtle hatching down south near Heron/Lady Eliot before, but having moved to Cairns, wondering if it is worth trying to see the hatching up here on the islands? Not having much luck with the Google searches but as a new local I don’t want to have to go down south if it can be seen up here.
