Acetone and kitchen bench tops are not normally compatible. Just sayin’

Not acetone on the bench top Vicky South Park, on my fingers.

Hot soapy water, dry, acetone, moisturiser, wipe, dry, abrasive scrub, repeat. An elaborate process of surfactant chemistry and mechanical engineering has been required to partially restore digit dexterity.

EDIT: let's just say I am part-way to having no finger prints.

The Journal of Bad Parenting: 1

A decade ago, took daughter (8) and son (7) to watch Wests Tigers play at Leichhardt Oval. Wanted kids to enjoy suburban ground footy and this is as close an experience as they could have to Victoria Park. Beautiful sunny day - we sat on the grass hill and ate gelati (local Italian food at the ground in addition to Spotless catering).

At the end of the game we were trapped in the carpark for about an hour. To keep the kids entertained, we were singing along to the radio. Then the Angels came on with 'Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again.' Naturally, I taught them the enhanced version.

Car windows down, the kids were belting out 'no way get [expletive deleted] [expletive deleted] off'. This prompted one woman to pause and tell me that I was an absolute disgrace of a parent for letting my children swear. Before I could defend myself, daughter and son chimed in from the back seat with 'he is a disgrace!'

You are a disgrace! Sitting in traffic with the windows down, imagine the car fumes your poor children were inhaling.
 
Wests Tigers.

Now thats a disgrace.

Rabbitohs or death.
 
Patiently waiting for WalterBlaknWhte next installment.

Mate of mine was dumped by his fiancee after she met a new guy on a plane. Mate was devastated. For more than a year he avoided dating, wary of being hurt again. Then he met a really sweet girl. After several dates he invited her to his house for dinner.

But his bedroom was a shambles - dodgy, mis-matched bedding from when he was at uni. So we went on a bro-date to DJ's. We returned with new sheets, doona, pillows etc. And new fluffy towels.

Dinner was a success. He is now happily married to her with two kids.

If I take the fluffy towels away, will that rid me of my Carlton supporting other half?

Hi Aenima, you got the 'like' for re-posting my earlier post in full! Guess with your name you flush out the good stuff on this board.

Sidebar: my mate featured in that post distinguished himself recently. To his wife's bemusement, he bought a very expensive bicycle to further his new-found interest in triathlons. Mate returned home with cycle on car roof after one competition. Absent-mindedly, he drove in his garage, destroying bike and damaging car. Wife is a saint - she merely shook her head then helped him clean up the mess.

I'm not an NRL person; however, I was given this tie years ago - original Wests (prior to merger) tie. Always thought their particular Magpie motif was rather cute...

If he lives in Almond street that was me beeping and laughing driving past.
 
A day of freedom in the joys of relationships...

All of us cherish freedom. To be free to marry the person you love is a wonderful part of being human.

This vote should not have been needed, but it is a very good result for us as citizens. And kudos to the massive voter turnout.

Cyber-hugs to all BF Collingwood members who will soon have a freedom they were denied :rainbow::rainbow:
