As a kid, I would have freaked out if my brother did that!
My husband gets night terrors, but not scary, realistic ones like that. His are mostly crazy, and pretty funny once he's calmed down. Once he jumped out of bed and tried to climb the tiny, flimsy table in the corner, yelling that a bus was coming and we needed…

Up until a few months ago, I flogged myself at the gym. I felt like I had four jobs: be a good mum, do well at uni, keep a lovely house, and be hella buff. Because I worked so hard on #4, I was too tired, or too sore to do the rest. I liked my biceps, but I was so dissatisfied with my life. I slew my aesthetics on the…

Yeah, even the one compliment he paid her was how she inspires HIM....

Well..... I got proposed to (privately) with "I really love you blah blah blah, I want to spend the rest of my life with you, blah blah blah... Will you marry me?"

Oh hell yeah. My husband and I had a German Shepherd who was smart and loyal, and after saving our lives a few times in various scrapes, she was counted as a fully fledged adult member of our family, and was treated like a princess of her kind. She had her own purpose bought microfibre couch, and she slept on the end…

I have a rescue dog. She's a sweet thing, smart and loving, and she never growls.... except at the back door last Wednesday, just before the guy who was going to break in started knocking.

They took away the Australian Regular Army's berets. Grown men cried. Apparently it was for "sun safe" reasons, which I fully support, but since they let the special forces keep theirs, everyone was a bit bitter.

French? I think you mean "cheese eating surrender monkeys".

Maybe second sight is what I have, then. I'll have to look into it.

My Gran hung around with me for a year or so after she died. My mum has some issues, and when Gran died she did not cope well - she got downright mean and it was very hard. I think Gran was just hanging around to make sure everything was ok with me and my daughters, she doted on us in life and I suspect not much…

Not a ghost story, because he's still alive:

On Waitangi Day at our Australian military uni, our visiting kiwis used to gather and do the Haka at sunrise, on the grass in the middle of the accommodation blocks. It was a crazy thing to wake up to!

Oh, no, your husband will be fine. White people "rescue" black babies, but black people "steal" white babies, don'cha know.

As the mother of a four year old dancer... I reckon she needed to wee, and is trying to wiggle it away.

Good luck to her, good luck to her parents, good luck to you, sending you some internet hugs and loads of love.

BUUUUUUURRRRRNNNNNNN!!!!!!

"For we are young and free"

My husband says whilst. I suspect he thinks it makes him sound more intelligent. I think it makes him sound likes a pretentious git.

I find meeting racism with racism is very helpful. Let's all continue to promote divisive stereotypes, shall we?

Hi, I'm here too.
Australian, white, not racist.
