Hey Baku, if you're reading this I hope you are okay. I'm sorry that you felt you had to delete your profile here; you are a valued member of this community, and I hope, when you are feeling better, that you return. But if you don't, and are reading this, you are always welcome here. Always welcome to make another profile, and to return.
Sending you good vibes man, and I know you're gonna smash your TAFE classes like a pro.

Oh Baku deleted?? Itโs sad to see that. Top young bloke who didnโt deserve the cards he was dealt but continues to play them bravely.
I wish I could have been more supportive, Iโm not too good at it and donโt have a lot of bandwidth left in my own struggles. All I could do was make suggestions for dealing with rough co-tenants.
I hope he comes back or at least that he manages and life gets better for him.
I hope he's doing alright. It sounded like TAFE was stressing him out. I look forward to Baku2 posting on here when he's ready
Oh no, I thought he'd just deleted a comment, didn't realise he'd deleted the whole profile. ๐ข
Dude I wanted to offer to make you a train cake for your 18! Practice ghost version will be up in a few days
Just chiming in to hope Baku returns whenever he feels ready. He's one of the leading lights of this little corner of the internet but also destined for amazing things ahead... if you choose not to come back buddy I hope you might dimly remember us when you're 35 and running your own IT business mate.
Oh no poor Baku, I hope you're OK ๐ฅบ
Baku if you create a new fake account and want someone to just vent to and to listen you then DM me. I won't ever tell another soul anything said to me in confidence.
We're all here for you though when you come back properly!
oh gees โน๏ธ
Oh no! Why? โน๏ธ
Oh poo
Oh no! Baku is awesome and I always enjoyed reading his posts. Have such big admiration for him, just a genuinely good person. Hope all is ok. Hope he will rejoin us one day.
oh man what did I miss this time?
Why work when you can smothered by a cat instead? Or have his claws in your neck because he needs skin contact. This animal is a lot.
I've taken to wearing a hoodie backwards when I'm studying at home. Put the smothering cat in the hood. Keeps the cat happy and off my workspace. And snuggles. Many snuggles.
Eyebrow love ๐ค
Well, I guess that justifies buying another pair of shoes.
Was accused of being drunk yesterday... 'My dear, you are ugly, and whatโs more, you are disgustingly ugly. But tomorrow I shall be sober and you will still be disgustingly ugly.'Not the best thing to say to your mum but I didn't coin it.
It's midnight.
You're sleeping peacefully, having a nice dream about being overseas.
Suddenly, someone starts choking in your dream.
You wake up.
The cat has hocked a hairball up on your doona.
You frantically clean and strip the doona. Your restful sleep is gone.
The end.
TIL Woolies don't have prawn crackers and some people don't know what they are.
whaaaat, it's 2024 and you don't have prawn crackers?. When I said that I may have been joking but also serious.
I'm sick as a dog and His Lordship is in full pantshit mode over his ADHD assessment. Fun times in the haus today
....i like this
I also like this because:
a) PACKIDGE!
ii) It's the first screenshot from a phone I've seen in ages where the battery isn't at 4% remaining and I'm silently anxiously screaming CHARGE YOUR DAMN PHONE! ๐
You know what would be nice?
some chocolate bikkies, some dinosaur lollies, endless cups of tea
and a one month holiday in venice or naples where I can sleep as much as i want, take baths, read books and not cook, sandwiches in my room is perfectly ok cos looking for restaurants can get fucked . maybe after a week i'll go for a walk to a museum
Looooooong fucking day. Just left the office now.
Guess all the people and culture stuff came back to bite me in the ass lol
Landlord has suddenly withdrawn any option of negotiation - her accountant has apparently told her she "has" to up her rent to match market rates.
110/week extra. 21% increase. 550/week. This system is just not bearable any more. I'm going to seek advice... at least as to whether market rates include typical real estate agent fees or not
Oh biggest hugs. That is absolutely so wrong. Near me there's a whole strip of shops that's now half empty because it's worth more to the landlords borrowing potential to have it on paper as "rental return potential is $x" even if that means it stands empty.
It's criminal.
