@ChuckTingle Should have also said that therapy and some medication was also useful, but for the "in the moment" thing distraction and exercise were key

@ChuckTingle When I first had panic I used jigsaw puzzles as a distraction, and also went to the gym to physically burn through the spare adrenaline

@rnz_news From your article: "There was evidence that two offenders who had been stealing meat were exporting it offshore". I don't think this is a significant trend worth a headline. I'd far rather know the number of shoplifters that are doing it because they're hungry

@ParryKylie Oh no that really sucks 😕

@QueenOliviaStR Freeze dried feijoas pack a punch of flavor

@NomeDaBarbarian @worldbuildcast Imagine the grief of families if the body of their beloved walked past their home and on to another's, or the shame if the corpse moved towards somewhere untoward - like a bar or a casino

@chaneyz85 Luckily I'm stuck at home so don't have to face the commute!

@MJCordes It’s so bad out there! Given my whole household is moving like zombies this morning, I’m guessing none of us slept well

I’m tired… I should go to bed… but I know the wind is going to keep me awake… I hate that my bedroom is on the side of the house that cops the wind?!

@chaneyz85 Same here. Woke to the gales at 1.55, no sleep since

I’ll be surprised if I’ve had more than 2 hours sleep so far… that wind and rain is crazy out there

@southernscoop Depends on what it means I guess?

We can barely agree over making our main shopping street for pedestrians only, one-way or two-way, how the hell would we manage this? Mayor Challenged to Make Dunedin NZ’s First Plant-Based City. Could this happen?

@pepperraccoon There's a nature walk along the road to the orongorongo/catchpool valley carpark. And a flat loop through grass meadows to the coast right near the end of Wainuiomata coast road. Both great options

@chaneyz85 I was out this morning,when it came on the radio at the dentist. Wham! Double agony!

Damn the cafe at my work?! I’m out… #whamageddon2022

@mandahill88 If the cookies are broken the calories fall out. True fact.

I ducked into the Cookietime factory shop on my Chch trip and bought a kilo of broken cookies and the wife won’t stop laughing at me because apparently this is the most in brand I’ve ever been.

@ItiRoto Use it for your work avatar!

@ParryKylie Bugger, that sucks. What did it feel like coming on? What did you notice in hindsight? (What? My hypochondria kicking in? Surely not :p )

Friday 28 October is Te Pūtake o Te Riri, He Rā Maumahara, the national day of commemoration for the New Zealand wars. Ahead of this commemoration, we are giving away a set of histories on these conflicts by @vomalley. Please RT to enter (draw closes midday Friday).

@mandahill88 Oh bugger, that sucks

Things I did not need in my life. - a cat who retaliates to perceived challenges to her position as top cat by pissing in the bath; - Covid.

@voteforparadise @Forest_and_Bird They are so pretty, and with such character! Lovely animals! (and yes, they were in my top 5)

A Paradise Shelduck duckling I saw while campaigning at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. @Forest_and_Bird #birdoftheyear @birdoftheyear2022 #boty2022 #voteforparadise

@mandahill88 Why stop at just one cat?

Peach: I’M RIGHT HERE. TAKE MEEEE.

We’re at the Levin SPCA finding K a new lap cat. 🧵 of cats to follow. First up is Peach. Definitely the most outgoing cat in the room. Cruised up for cuddles immediately.

@chaneyz85 Same here :(

I’m feeling so left out, my voting papers still haven’t arrived 😭

@ArchivesNZ The gardens kind of look like Dunedin, but that's not the Mayor of the time as far as I can tell

(1/4) Can anyone help identify the mayor pictured with Queen Elizabeth II in NZ in 1974? We don’t know where in NZ these images were taken. 35 images of the 1974 tour are available in this album flickr.com/photos/archive…
