I was just curious about this! Ethically sourced leather is defined as being a material derived from animals raised within humane welfare standards, where hides are utilized as a practical byproduct of the meat or conservation industry rather than the primary source of value. It also emphasizes non-toxic tanning, safe labor conditions, and full supply chain transparency.

Would really appreciate some more information on how/where the leather used from MeePlus is sourced and if it is sustainable and ethical leather.

Hi Melbourne! I had to get a new phone number in 2020. Since then I have had constant daily calls (both spam and legitimate ones) looking for a man named “Daryl”.

Daryl enjoys giving MY phone number out to medical clinics, radiologist, debt collectors, sex workers, sex chat lines, tradespeople (builders, etc), marketing people and the like. I have had people call me telling me that Daryl keeps giving them my number, telling me he does this on purpose to avoid paying his bills and to enter in false information on web forms and placing orders etc. I have had radiology and pathology clinics calling with his test results and medical centres confirming his appointment times and text messages from sex chat lines…

I thought at first it might be an older gentleman getting confused but from the frustrated debt collectors and tradies he has seemingly slipped, he’s in his 40’s and just a bit of a shonky guy.

It’s been 6 years of this and I just don’t know what to do…

Is there anything that I can do? Or is it time to get a new phone number?

If I do get a new number, what is the best way to avoid this ever happening again? Do we still do silent numbers?

And TBC I do not know Daryl. I have never met Daryl. I have no way to contact Daryl. But I sure would like to talk to him!

Hi 👋 I need some help! I need to take an extra bag during my outbound flight from Melbourne to Rome. I am flying Turkish Airlines, the first leg of the outbound flight is through codeshare Hong Kong Airlines. I spoke with Turkish Airlines and they advised I will need to purchase the extra baggage allowance at the HK Airlines desk at Melbourne Airport before my flight. This purchase will be for the entire journey to Rome, and I will have to pay the cost of each leg of flying.

The trouble is, Hong Kong Airlines don’t have Europe listed on their estimate chart (because they don’t fly there of course), and Turkish Airlines won’t give me a quote for their costs.

I can’t just show up at the airport without knowing how much I will have to pay, it could be from $200 to $2000!

Can anyone please give me some advice? I have never flown with these airlines before and I have never had to take extra baggage. This has come as a last minute request from my boss in Italy who wants me to bring them some of their personal belongings with me during my flight (they will be paying the costs but they want an estimate).

hi everyone! i absolutely suck at understanding food science and diets, and being vegan makes it even harder because i'm not sure where to get protein without it being too much fat. i would like to lose some weight by causing a calorie deficit and i am also working on weight training (light atm as i start out).

would anyone be willing to help me out with making a 7 day weight loss vegan diet?

I always see people in public who look so refined, put together, and “neat”, even if they are wearing lounge wear or baggier/oversized style clothes and I can’t put my finger on what makes them look so chic! I feel like when I dress like this I just look messy and like I just rolled out of bed 🤣 Anyone know the secret to that “messy chic” look I so often see and envy on others?

I was on fluoxetine for 2.5 years, then weaned off because I hated how I just felt nothing all the time. I couldn’t even cry, felt like emotional constipation lol.

I thought I’d be fine without it but it’s been about 12 months I think on nothing and my anxiety and OCD symptoms have been getting worse and worse again.

So I need to go see my doctor about an alternative to fluoxetine that doesn’t cause emotional blunting, and would appreciate some options that I can research and take to her before I see her! Thanks in advance
