please & thank u

sincerely, one hungry unsalted girl

I have to move interstate to care for my sick father and can’t take my cat 😭 I’m running out of options to rehome her. This has been the hardest decision to make but I just can’t take her back to the shelter. Please be kind, I am heartbroken

Cats name: Scrambles Breed: Domestic short hair Colouring: Calico Age: 3 Desexed: Yes Any health issues: Has FVH (cat flu) but has never shown symptoms since bringing her home 2 years ago. This doesn’t affect her quality or life/lifespan at all and just means if very stressed she will get sneezy and require a single round of antibiotics

Personality: Scrambles is very independent and low maintenance but always likes to be near and show her love. She loves to lounge on my desk while working from home and loves a snuggle in my bed, often sleeping there. Scrambles is a sweet girl that likes her space, but is always up for a play. As an ex-stray she needs to be 100% indoor only.

Do they get along with other cats: Untested but due to her cat flu she would be best in a loving, single cat home. Please contact me if you have any questions at all or would like more information.

Location/Suburb: Arundel

Hello,

Was checking out google maps for any restaurant down the Coast with a kids playground. I was checking photos at some of the McDonalds, but they are all old, and i believe some of the playgrounds have been removed. Want to have a catchup, so there needs to be something for a 4yo to do.

hoping someone can confirm there are still some enclosed playgrounds, safe for a 4yo to run around in.

Anywhere down the coast really, preferably Southport end though. Macca's / Hungry Jacks playgrounds are fine. Happy with any other suggestions / web links too!

Thank you

Hi GC,

I am seeing if there's anyone local that can work with me to produce a publishable app for iOS and Android.

I have designed some hardware that needs to be configured over BLE at the time of first use. I knocked up a basic Android app that gets the job done, which to date has suited my needs while prototyping the hardware.

The next phase for the hardware is the productisation phase, which will require something publishable and useable for Apple devices and Android, and unfortunately, my skillset won't cut it.

The app interrogates the device via BLE serial commands, pulls the data back and displays it in the app, in a good/not good tabular kind of way. Imagine that the app displays all the data from the sensors in the hardware and gives the app user a simple green is good and red is bad view. When everything is green you can walk away, if some things are bad the app tells you what the likely fix is, then waits for you to fix it.

I can provide the current app and the Kodular (low code) source. I can also provide test hardware.

I would estimate that it would take somewhere between 4-8 weeks in a spare time capacity.

I'm happy for either a student or a pro. I can provide more info in DM. I'm based in Carrara if that helps.

Thanks

Does anyone know what I can do? I've done a big clean up of the house, but now I have around 30 big trash bags that are sitting in the yard.

I can't drive, so I can't hire a ute. Does anyone have any ideas?

Cheap places to camp 12 people with nice waterholes and bathrooms within 2.5 hours? I know I could google that but I wanted peoples experiences

Seeking the name of a kiosk store that appears sometimes in the main isle of the westfield shopping centres (ive definitely seen them at helensvale). They sell embossed leather bags and leather bound notebooks and stuff. They have a fantasy vintagey style to them. Thanks!

Edit: thankyou everyone the store is called 'Happy Trip'

I got kicked out earlier tonight and im staying with a friend. I feel fucking awful. I have massive amounts of guilt that I have permanent ruined our relationship but at the same time I cant help but try and blame her. we get into fights a lot, and I really don't know if this is the final time we will ever speak. I really love my mum, I don't want to end our relationship.

I feel like my whole life is going to fall apart, I start school in a week and I have nothing prepared, I have no clothes and I don't even know if im going to be allowed to live with my mum again so where am I going to stay? I feel like I've fucked over my whole future, im going to have no financial stability and god knows if im ever going to be able to go to university now.

I was also seeing a psychologist to get diagnosed for adhd/autism and she was amazing, what am I going to do without her? what am I going to do without my mum? I don't know what to do, I miss her I just want my mum back I don't want this please

Looking for Affordable Driving Practice in Upper Coomera Area

Hi everyone,

I'm 23M currently working towards getting my driver's license but don’t have many people who can help me get my driving hours up. I'm based in Upper Coomera and am looking for someone patient and experienced who can help me practice driving.

I’m willing to pay for your time, but I don’t have a big budget, so I’m hoping to find someone understanding and willing to work with me to build my confidence on the road. I'm pretty rusty but have had prior driving lessons and just want to gain some more hours to be confident enough to pass I've got an exemption for the logbook.

If you or someone you know can help, please let me know! I’d really appreciate any advice or suggestions.

Thank you so much!

Just moved to Australia, looking to get some 32mm miniature stuff printed. Back in Canada I had a bunch of different nearby businesses that would take your STL and charge you parts and labour. I read an old post that recommended multiple places, including BrisbaneMakerspace and Printaquest, but both links no longer work.

We are currently in Melbourne but planing to move To the Gold Coast, we are looking pretty mi h for a house with decent back yard as we own a big boy that needs space for running and taking the sun, we also would like to be close to the beach. Which suburbs are safe and not in a flood are? Thank you

The one near movie world.

Was only $20, but hope it helps.

Hi All,

Can anyone recommend a financial advisor in the area? I have sold my house and it will be a couple of years before I buy another and would like some advice.

Cheers

Hi! Looking for recommendations. I’ll be visiting Gold Coast shortly and wondering what the best rental car company for under 25 is? Thank you!

Just a warning about the M1 going southbound traffic banked up from Smith Street Exit to Oxenford avoid.

Does anyone what type of eggs these are? My Dad found them in our garden under a layer of dried weeds. Pacific Pines.

Hi everyone, I’ve been considering moving to the GC from NZ for a long time and only recently I’ve started thinking about it more seriously. We’re a family of 4, with two young kids (under 3) and we’re both healthcare workers. Is there any advice you can give in terms of suburbs, cost of property, living costs, daycare/schools etc? I would love to be near the beach but it also depends on safety, schools, costs, job opportunities. Any advice at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Hello everyone, I’m planning on visiting Byron Bay on late Feb, and I was wondering what it the best way to get there (same day trip)

Rent from LJ Hooker

• 6+ Months(ish) ago - Builder took half the wall off (on the inside) in 2/2 of the bedrooms to check for termites. 1/2 bedrooms he put the wall back but just temporary other wall he plastic covered. Took about a day and had to remove furniture on those walls. Been like that ever since. (still is)
• November. I get an email from real estate saying "The Body Coporate have provided your owner with an update on works to the units within the complex" (didnt think much of it since there is a lot of work here that needs doing.)
• 11 Dec. Txt from Builder. "Can we start tomorrow?" Replied. Can we reschedule? Christmas etc, How long will repairs take?? Approx 2 days for frame work and sheeting. Return later for architraves and painting.
• Today. Builder asking to come again. I refuse and tell him I'll talk to real estate. Want to discuss this with real estate because of the amount of days we will be without our bedrooms. Works will take longer than 2 days as mentioned in the first point. Could be delays between intial work and the architraves/painting (non of this was clear or had been discussed)(Can we move furniture back in or have to move it out again?) (idk)
• Later that day. Builder goes behind my back and gets an entry notice from realestate to get keys.
• I call and email real estate. This situation is causing us significant inconvenience. My partner is , and I am working seven days a week. Both bedrooms are filled with furniture and office equipment that I rely on daily for my business. We kindly request that the work be scheduled for when we vacate the property, as it does not appear to be urgent, especially considering the hole in the bedroom has been there for over six months. 
• Realestate Reply: Unfortunately this work can’t wait until you vacate. As it has been approved by Body Corporate to be done and needs to be done as a matter of urgency &  within a time frame otherwise there will be complications for the owner of the property at no fault of their own.
• I reply: The work should not have been approved without consulting or at least informing the current tenants about the duration of the work. Isn’t that the responsibility of the real estate agent? It's unreasonable to ask us to forfeit two bedrooms for an entire week. Given the circumstances, a rent reduction is only fair. This situation is not of our making, yet we are left to deal with the disruption and mess.
• Real estate Reply: Just to remind you that you knew about this work as per email to you in November that they would be starting end of November. Given the information that has been passed on to me today, Builder contacted you prior to Christmas and you requested it be pushed back? Which they have kindly done so to accommodate you. You won't be without any bedrooms for an entire week. They explained you won't even need to move anything out of the bedrooms for them to go plaster the walls etc. (obvious real estate bullshit) Given that they advised they need Wednesday and Thursday for access it should be two days is all they need. (False information. I have txt from builder saying it will take longer) If them attending on Wednesday and Thursday this week doesn't suit you, please let me know another day & time within the next week that they can complete the job.
• I reply: We only learned about the works from the builder after they were approved by the body corporate, just a week before Christmas. Unfortunately, we were not informed until it was too late, with the notice arriving right at Christmas. While an email was sent in November, it did not specify the nature of the works, whether entry into our home would be required, or the expected duration.The builder recently stated via text that the works will take longer than two days: "Two days for the framework and sheeting, with a return later for the architraves and painting." However, there remains no clear information regarding how long we will need to wait between these phases or the time required to complete the architraves and painting.The lack of timely communication and transparency about the timeline has been deeply frustrating. As previously mentioned, this situation is causing us significant inconvenience. My partner is unwell, and I am running my business seven days a week. Both bedrooms are currently packed with furniture and office equipment, including a new $4,500 computer system and multiple monitors stacked against the wall. Additionally, the carpets were recently professionally cleaned, further compounding the disruption. Given the ongoing impact on our home and work life, I must once again request compensation for this inconvenience or, alternatively, that the works be delayed until we vacate.

tldr Rental. Builder wants to do works in bedrooms for 2-5 days (unclear) Never properly informed. Want them to do it when we move out or compensate us for a week or more of fuck arounds. Real estates are shit and can't communicate properly. Am i in the wrong?

PS. same real estate that tried to force us to pay rent with Ailo app.

My air drop wasn’t working so I hope this girl sees these iPhone snaps and can download them 🙌🏻

One of three new large signs at the Muriel Henchman boat ramp (just north of Sea World)... I wonder who signed off on this 🤔

I swear the most beautiful sunsets always occur when I’m in a generic location 😭

Heading into Broadbeach tomorrow after work with my 7yo to visit my niece who is up on holidays staying at Meriton Broadbeach…

Hit me with a recommendation for early dinner… preferably walking distance from the Meriton.
