Like cats. But bricks instead of slippers.They are mostly harmless, prowl around looking for insects etc, and scuttle away if you throw a slipper or something near them.

Joke! Calm down cat-ladies.

Eugenie was hand-picked by the Duchess to be among those in her 40x40 initiative.
I could have written this, word for wordOMG, I just made the horrible mistake of googling that spider.Stupid of me, as I have terrible arachnophobia. I may not be able to sleep tonight.
Oh you!It’s not the spiders you need to worry about - It’s the Drop Bears![]()
I would HATE to visit there. But that’s only because I’m totally spider phobic. Would pass out at any of the big bugs they have. This pisses me off because I love exploring new places but even spider season in the uk makes me a gibbering wreck![]()
I live in an urban area (outer suburbia) I haven't had big spiders in the loo (as in room not inside it) but small ones. I guess they are on the washing when I bring it in.Literally never saw either a spider or a snake in my loo. Perhaps if you lived in the outback with an outside dunny? But generally, no. I did have a frog in the loo once…
Also, America has rattlesnakes and black widows etc, as well as bears and coyotes (which Australia doesn’t have) but people don’t carry on about how dangerous America’s wildlife is.
Me too!I could have written this, word for word![]()
Same here - my Dad died when I was nine-years old. I would cherish every moment of us being adults togetherI know, I'd love 40 minutes with my dad, he died when I was 21... Sickening she professes to care about everyone, is so thoughtful, giving, "charitable" but can hurt her dad and the RF with a smirk![]()
Yes there is a massive mouse plague on the grain farms. I feel so sorry for them. Finally they get a good year after years of drought and the mouse numbers have exploded. Too many for any amount of cats to handle and you cannot have poison near a food source. I think the farmers have had to think outside the box.I thought Australia was having a humungous mouse problem atm?
eta: sorry tried a spoiler but didn’t work so removed it. Big story on BBC web site. Thumbnail was rather graphic.
There are some selfish idiots that have no brains. The things people do in bushfire prone areas is beyond belief.It's like saying you have heard xyz about the USA. It's a big country!
Totally. I am completely worried about bushfires this year. That's the real issue.
But aren't they cute with little furry faces? I saw one once.We have just been through a mouse plague, hate them.
The world is a big place. I would love to see a bear but that puts it in perspective.Also, America has rattlesnakes and black widows etc, as well as bears and coyotes (which Australia doesn’t have) but people don’t carry on about how dangerous America’s wildlife is.
I use to live in a Mountain Resort town. Black bears were an incredible nuisance. they cause hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage every year. I had to chase them from my yard with a boating airhorn and lots of yelling every night. You also forgot about alligators, sidewinders, brown recluse, scorpions and tarantulas. I will say the grossest and most fearsome American bug I have encountered in person is known as a toe biter (and it's bite is known to be extremely painful). Also don't forget that brown bears or grizzly bears are true carnivores and wolves are being re-introduced in many areas of the US. In Montana, Wyoming and Idaho they do kill stock every year. So your point is well made.
You will be safe in WA, they are only in the zoo or wildlife parks there as they are native to the east coast.It’s not the spiders you need to worry about - It’s the Drop Bears![]()
But she's very persistent - and I've told her all that; and I honestly couldn't care less about her 'problems'; she's just a taker; tonight she asked for money first, then use of my mobile phone - both declined. Finally settled on some coffee and sugar! I live in a rough inner-city area, so have to be careful to not make enemiesShe may well be lonely say no to money and cigs and ask her what the problem is and tell her you cannot afford it. I had exactly the same problem and did just that and she stopped asking.
I know how you feel, I sometimes find it hard to not be "naïve" if you know what I mean. I am too trusting and caring, and sometimes people take advantage...
Then they cross a line and being firm becomes a necessity!
It's not being unkind, it's laying boundaries. So far, no further.
I cannot help anymore.
You have betrayed my trust, no more.
Do not disturb me after this time, if you insist, you give me no option other than to call the police.
Lay responsibility of breaking trust/confidentiality and trying to take advantage of your good nature back on them. It's immoral behaviour on their part - just like the twunts in Cali - and you don't have to accept it or live with it. Seek family or official (police) support if necessary.
Hope you are ok @Tattyfilarious![]()
Thank-you so much - I'm also trusting and caring (my unfortunate default); this started when I gave this woman a couple of pounds in the street; didn't know that she lives across the road from me.I know how you feel, I sometimes find it hard to not be "naïve" if you know what I mean. I am too trusting and caring, and sometimes people take advantage...

What? That’s not a nice thing to say.No offence, but why on earth would anyone want to live in Australia?
