Friends of Dorothy... Dix: Four Methods to get rid of your Mother-in-law

http://friendsofdorothydix.blogspot.com/2011/04/four-methods-to-get-rid-of-you-mother.html

Friends of Dorothy. Dix. Four Methods to get rid of your Mother-in-law. What are your thoughts on Mothers-in-law? Mine has been staying at our place now for a VERY long time. Any exit strategies? Anonymous there are a number of different ways you can develop an exit strategy. However the option you choose depends on who you want to exit first, you or the mother-in-law. Method Three (in two parts). Our ability to recall information and anecdotes is one of our great joys in life. Sadly for many of us t...

Melbourne Dreaming: March 2012

http://melbournedreaming.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Monday, March 26, 2012. On being 35 and single. OK technically, I'm not quite. Single. But the relationship I'm in is very complicated and I'm not sure we're going to make it through the obstacle course we've been presented with. I am, however, 35, unmarried, and at that delicate point where my fertility is apparently starting to nosedive. Can I just say, and I'm sorry if this sounds like I'm stating the obvious: it's really difficult. Being in this position. It's properly, existentially, painful. Make t...

Melbourne Dreaming: May 2012

http://melbournedreaming.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html

Monday, May 28, 2012. The Cross-cultural Collision Course (or why I will never date an Indian man again). So the complicated relationship to which I have been alluding for about 8 months now has come crumbling to the ground. This time, however, it was not the usual he's driving me crazy; he met someone else; we don't want the same things; he can't commit. Kind of relationship ending with which I have. This time, the decision was taken out of my hands entirely; out of even his. A further four months down ...

Melbourne Dreaming: July 2012

http://melbournedreaming.blogspot.com/2012_07_01_archive.html

Friday, July 27, 2012. Labels: boys on bikes. Friday, July 13, 2012. Easy Green-sy Veggie Cannelloni. It's mid-Winter in Melbourne. The sun is currently shining beatifically and there are blue patches of sky, in between rain showers. It's generally gorgeous weather, if a little chilly at night. Sorry to rub it in, but it's about a billion. Times more bearable than Winter in London. This recipe gets the 'Ouit-Spald-atron-5000' seal of approval. 1 small red onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, crushed.

Melbourne Dreaming: March 2014

http://melbournedreaming.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Clambering out of the wilderness years. Gosh it's been a while. I'm a little out of practice with this writing thing, so be patient with me. I'm also typing this with two fingers on an iPad keyboard (#humblebrag #sowhiterightnow). Internet dating is the worst. But I did meet my husband that way, so it's got that going for it. Relationship level - the level where you talk about the practicalities of raising bilingual kids, and caring for elderly parents, and what time you'll eat d...

Friends of Dorothy... Dix: Dear Confused

http://friendsofdorothydix.blogspot.com/2011/03/dear-confused.html

Friends of Dorothy. Dix. I'm a bit confused, can you clarify the roles of both the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) and the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA). To start with it is important to understand that both the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission. Along with the Australian Communications and Media Authority. Are nothing more then glorified bureaucratic hobby farms for equally bored and over paid public servants on the verge of. Were initially estab...

Find your tribe – Michele Lim

https://michelehlim.com/2016/06/13/find-your-tribe

Comedian, writer, and self appointed Mayor of Easy Street. June 13, 2016. June 14, 2016. I’ve wanted to write this post for a while because I think this concept is an important one, and something that’s kept the light in me burning whenever I start to doubt myself or whenever I have a particularly bad gig where nobody gets my material (it’s always more handy to blame the audience for not understanding your creative genius anyway). When I first got back from Taiwan I caught up with the ubiquitous Dan Ilic.

Melbourne Dreaming: Plunged into preggers-land

http://melbournedreaming.blogspot.com/2015/07/plunged-into-preggers-land.html

Monday, July 27, 2015. I'm currently 14 weeks pregnant. and I have a LOT to share, so settle in people (or Ctrl W. Those who aren't interested in other people's pregnancies). It took us 1.5 years to get here (and one surgical procedure). One and a half years – it doesn't sound that long in retrospect, does it? But at the time, lived out in 28 day chunks, it felt like for-freakin-ever. We were actually booked in for our first IVF cycle, a step I was taking most reluctantly (thank god I dragged my feet).
