It’s the way the suffix of the first word actually works as a sentence for me.

Might be just an urban myth, but an ABC radio newsreader was reputed to have announced that a woman had been bitten on the funnel by a fingerweb spider.

What do you guys do with empty bottles and cans that have the 10c deposit?
We had friends over and there’s about 20 cans (empty) that I could just shove in recycle. I’m never going to the deposit place. Do you leave them aside for people, and can the be flattened first?
Can’t be flattened for the container deposit places.
I just put them in the recycling bin. Someone comes around when the bins go out and takes them. Good luck to them.

I once had to do some digging in the chook-run with a mattock and unearthed several Victorian funnel web spiders. The chooks gobbled them down like a kid gobbling jelly beans. I was astonished.

I collect them and take my son every sunday to deposit them. Got my parents and in laqs into it and also my grandmother and work.
It has helped him count to 100, which is great because up until 9 months ago he could nly say 3 words (he is about to turn 4, massove speech delay but has caught up)
My parents have also gotten a cousin and friend involved too.
We make a proceess of it. Do the bottles, then go to coffee shop, then woolworths to collect the coins and put in his money box.
He puts them in himself, he likes to see the arm move and the sound of the cans/plastic bottles being crushed

What a great little adventure.
It’s sad that I don’t need the money, but I also don’t want it to go to waste.
Heffkids go and desposit it and collect the money
So you can put in a box outside your house with a sign, im sure someone will come past and take them.
In Mornington they have these cages next to the council bins where you can put your bottles and stuff there if you dont collect them and it gives others the chance who do collect them to get some more
Or get one of the bags from the CDS and when you get a fair bit, drop it off at a local sports club
My son loves it, it’s also daddy and son time. When people say “oh, my son didnt speak until he was 4”, they usually mean he did speak, just wasnt clear. My son literally could only say 3 words until he was 3 years and 2 months old. Mamma, dadda and No. Now he is a chatterbox and counts all the bottles we deposit.
He outsmarted me too. Every Sunday he gets the bag and box we’ve collected for the week and gets the milk crate, takes it to the back of our car. We have CX-9, so boot opens when you press the back of the car. Presses the button, boot opens, puts the stuff in the car. But to close it, the button is under the boot but it is now too high for him. So i yell out “ha, now you’re screwed. It’s ok, daddy will help”. Before i get there, he opens the front door and press the boot button to close the boot again.

Good on him @rossoneri. And you.
Just remember that saying, All kids are gifted. Some just open their packages a little later. I bet it was well worth the wait and your future conversations will bring you even closer than you obviously are already. Enjoy your Xmas.
Rightio, time for him to move out!
Is keeping left on footpaths (like we do on roads) no longer a thing in Australia?

If we have cricketers, footballers and golfers, why don’t we say ‘tennisers’?
