The Weekly Friday Feast

NikNikSenior Contributor

The Weekly Friday Feast

Thank goodness it's Friday (or TGIF as some say!)

We thought we would start a thread where we could come together every Friday and "share a meal" and debrief about our week.

To participate, there are 2 requirements -

1) Bring a (virtual) plate of food

2) Bring a topic of discussion

So pull up a virtual chair, post a picture or description of what (virtual) dish you're bringing along and say hi and let us know how your week was.

Looking forward to seeing you at our first Friday Feast!

Chat soon 🙂

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Your school sounds wonderful, @Zoe7. I'd love to come and do some video making in Tasmania. Since I haven't visited there before, it would be a nice holiday too.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hello everyone. Hello @Phoenix_Rising.
$5 million.
After paying off my home and much needed renovations - eg: new stumps, insulation.
I've always wanted to buy 5 or 6 houses in country towns. Fully furnish them, including bikes, toys, extra clothing, and have them available for families leaving DV.
Someplace safe and quiet and new, to start a new life. Those ffleeing NSW would be housedrent free in a new town in Victoria. Those from VVictoria, housed in NSW etc.
It won't matter if they have nothing. Clothing and vouchers would be in the house for them. All linen. School uniforms and school supplies.
A fresh start for families.

@Phoenix_Rising, well, there's always the dishes. Lol, only yoking.

I can wash the dishes. This is a picture of me doing so. At least...this is what google offered me when I asked for images of "turtle washing dishes." I don't think I really look like this. Actually, come to think of it, I think that's what I'm scared I MIGHT end up looking like if I eat any of those nasty green vegetables - thus explaining my lifelong aversion to them.

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Another awesome dream project, @utopia.

But somehow our million has expanded to five, and from Australian dollars to US dollars. Inflation moves fast around the forum.

I could contribute to training a herd of your dogs on your island to become emotional support dogs @Former-Member

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Hi everyone. I am coming past because I know it is a healthy thing to do and because I don't think I have missed a friday night feast since I joined even when it was a Thursday night feast last week. I bring a plate of pancakes because mine were an epic fail but I am givng myself points for trying. $5million dollars - I would build a place for women and children to stay when they've run, where it's safe and comfy and full of nurturing and caring staff. I would make sure it was super comfy and safe in everyway, like lots of pillows and rooms and windows and a bath and toys for the kids and the mums, and quiet spaces to sit, and busy places to distract, and outlets for expression and creation. And staff who 'feel' like what people need. And pay anyone here who wanted to come and work with people in a way that makes things better not worse.

Back to my nest. Happy feasting friday nighters

Re: The Weekly Friday Feast

Great @Zoe7. The kids need a caring community supportive school where they could thrive
And support dogs visiting the kids at school would be great.
My son's school has an Labrador who failed as a guide dog. He is a service dog for the whole school. And just his presence in the class room helps calm down some anxious students.
