Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

fair enough @plasmo was price based compromise when bought where I am

Re: Night Shift

Vic country can be cheap @plasmo

Told my self rels here , but don't have much to do w them. Plus Adelaide changed so much since was last semi permanent there. Regional centres easier for me. Somewhere w bunnings , food delivery,supermarket. Everything else can get on internet lol

I've got post office/bank, small hardware shop, chemist, drs, foodland ,newsagents, bakery and butcher where you can take yr sheep 🐑 to be processed lol ok plus servo

Nothing open after 7pm

No takeaway, no food delivery. Taxi to nearest big town $300 Was told. Seen them here more than once. Prob govt paid for it.

Ok there's a bus to Adelaide but weird times so can't go return same day.

Lucky I have a car 🚗 lol. Just a bit of insight.figured bunnings 30ks away.Not. they are just building one 100ks away lol

They even have one in Berri ffs lol @plasmo

Re: Night Shift

yeh i really don't go in to Adl any more, just want to keep within a few hrs. still have olds here etc.

need a place with some community action, so can't go too small. no tourist traps either.

i could still stay in suburbs but i don't want to pay over the odds to live in traffic etc. i'm over it.

In response to: Re: Night Shift

Re: Night Shift

fair enough, theres even tourists here, well caravans ugh. yes, community stuff, but not really tried, too busy being sick/head up bum

people around here dont think anything of 1hr drive/ have shacks 50ks away etc , not like where my olds where, 12ks was outer limit unless going to adelaide lol ok when they got older

lots clubs here I never was a joiner and didnt become one by turning up here lol

@plasmo maybe you could buy the Midnight Oil house lol
