Official Match Thread Season 39, Round 4: Mount Buller Demons v Fighting Furies at The Snow Dome

[ShaunDuggan]

I need a ruling guys and girls, some of my coworkers think its weird that a woman is staying with me and wife after we met her at a wedding a few weeks ago. She was a bridesmaid along with my wife but they had never actually properly met. The original plan was that she would stay a few days after wedding. Its been a couple of weeks, neither me nor my wife are worried about it, we both like her, she gets on great with our dog who has already fallen in love. It's not permanent, she is just stuck in a bit of a pickle. It's not an inconvenience to me at all, she's really chill. My workmates seem surprised I am not bothered about her paying to stay at our place but as I said she just lost her job or something. I am paying the same mortgage regardless so, should I really be worried about this chick paying us money? Sure if it stretched into months and she wasn't contributing then it could be a problem.

ETA: Also she is far easier to deal with than the last persons who stayed for a month(it was a couple) but only one of them was a PITA.

I've had this same situation, nothing wrong with it nor is it weird.

Getting some cash from her is a bonus.

So long as she doesn't start walking around in just a towel when the misso is out, that may become a problem.

 

[p4p1]

There are other methods of payment.






maybe best when your wife is away.

I have already told my wife that I absolutely wouldn't hesitate

But then at the same time do I want to be in the house with two women I have disappointed? I'm not so sure.

Not sure of the problem here.

But nah she is not interested in me at all. Not gonna lie, that hurts just a little bit (we all want to feel attractive and wanted right) but is for the best.

 

[Proper Gander]

I guess because it isn't or should I say wasn't a mate.
I assume it is also because I, if I am being honest, just do weird shit all the time as well.

If neither you or your wife mind, I don’t see a problem.

I get your coworkers point if it does become a financial burden or you reach a point where you would like some privacy, then it’s probably time to have a chat.

What do you mean pretend? I thought you could do anything

Bruh this chick could do so much crazy shit and still be less of a financial burden than my wife.

 

[Gralin]

What do you mean pretend? I thought you could do anything

Could I do it?
Technically I probably could

Would I do it?

Maybe to NaturalDisaster

 

[TRUMAN#1]

Well hasn't this thread exploded.

It's hard to keep up. The Demons go from playing nice to being mean.

It's an emotional Rollercoaster in here.

 

[James Colorado]

Board banning the Furies could be amusing

Would give me a lot more free time.

 

[Supersuns]

A bit of both.

I do find the idea of you being a genuine piece of shit difficult though

He used his mod powers to edit the post.
I would never say anything so mean spirited or outrageous.
Thats just hurtful.

Agree with PG. It's the co-workers with the problem.

A friend of our youngest had real issues at home and needed a place to stay until they got on their feet again. Stayed at ours while they looked for work and accommodation. Got both after three weeks.

There's a cost of living crisis on at the moment if people aren't aware, and if I can help (as someone who has had it tough when I was a child) someone who is doing it tough - well that's the right thing to do.

It's called a feedback sandwich.

Cost of living crisis is actually ****ed.

That's what p4p1 is worried about.

Yep, definitely raised the level of stress for a lot of people.

I'm amazed the little talk there has been around Coles and Woolworths' price gouging.

For every product that is 'down down and staying down', they jack up the price of 3 other products.

campaigners.

Absolutely. And groups like CHOICE can only do so much by raising public awareness.

It's the major issue with a duopoly and the only serious competition has all their profits going offshore.

Groceries have definitely been the thing that have hit the wallet the most over the past few years.

Both are starting to attract some attention in the media - ACCC sniffing around too.

In America, so probably different here, THE #1 cause of homelessness is basically foster kids who have aged out of the system and don't have a support network to help them out when they get into housing or job trouble. I have been lucky enough to have grandparents who were very supportive and always there for me.

 

[p4p1]

That's what p4p1 is worried about.

It's more the feedback part rather than the sandwich. The sandwich sounds amazing if I am being honest.

It’s pretty insane. I do my food shopping at the market - prices have gone up but not by the same percentage (probably because they were a bit pricey anyway. ). But going early on Sunday and filling up your 10 dollar box of veg is great. They offer that for fresh produce at the end of each week.

Another trick is to buy stuff online in bulk where it’s something you use lots, like tins of Italian tomatoes. Or sacks of rice from Asian grocers

 

[Gralin]

yeah stuff like milk has doubled in price

lots of basic food items have done that

its all things people can't avoid

housing
food
utilities

pretty rough especially for people that didn't have any breathing space to begin with
