What was their story?

Throwaway as I want to stay anonymous if that’s okay.
I’m an adult not a young person.

My mum has always gotten either paranoia or something like it. She gets over excited to help out and then later on renigs on support and it can be for anything - over a lifetime - she will buy me a car and help me with driving to get my license: then end up leaving me with a car I can’t drive as she lost interest in teaching me. Or childminding - had an important event and she babysat my 3yo and rang me when I was there to pick child up early.

She came to my child’s assembly at school and had this manic experience (she is NOT diagnosed with ANYTHING) where she thought everyone was staring at her and started shouting and I was crying on my way home embarrassed and also that she yelled in front of kindy child.

I was giving birth a high risk pregnancy and she caused an argument when I was on rhe birth bed and my baby ended up gravely sick (still disabled today).

My sister’s wedding she made a commotion in public and said she had paid for everything and not my sisters husbands new family.

Everything she makes about her. But she’s literally having a crash of some sort.

She’s unreliable.

If anyone knows this behaviour and can explain possible what it is can you please tell me?

She spends a lot of time inside as well, possible agoraphobia. She is extremely clean freak and always has been and I mean cleaning every day with maybe an hour break.
Argues with strangers and everyone she’s around.

She can be abusive.

She is 67.

I noticed that she will say weird things that can offend people which I thought may be autism. She once said to a lady that came up to me and her and my daugher “she’s not my child. She’s my grandchild” even though I was 35 years old and my daugher is 8 so my mum would have been 63. So the lady wouldnt have thought she was the mum. That’s probably a bad example but she will come out with some strange things. Very weird statements.

She is controlling at times. She must feel fear but she is literally causing havoc in the neighbourhood. She has told a teen boy off for skating in the road near her house. She has expressed anger to all neighbours in the 8 years she’s had her house. She argues with everyone, absolutely everyone.

She has signs of everything! It could be autism, adhd, bipolar, paranoid personality, schizoid, ocd…. It literally is all signs of these in little amounts. Even bpd and psychosis.

If you think you know her or someone like her, please don’t name people.

Thank you.

This is not asking for diagnosis it’s just asking if people have seen similar.

Long story short, my partner and I are low income and could both do with a professional clean.

Public health dentists have said they don’t offer it because they’re only for urgent things

Any recommendations at all of dentists that aren’t as expensive, do payment plans, concessions, bulk bill? The general quote I got when I called a private a few months ago was around 300 which just isn’t at all achievable for us

Hopefully this doesn’t come off as promotional, I’m after genuine recommendations

EDIT: I forgot to mention, we both had concession/healthcare cards. Literally said to myself “gotta mention that!”

Hello Hobart!

I am looking to get my SONY a7ii cleaned plus two lenses (I've had it since 2022 and am probably due for an upgrade, but I would rather just get it cleaned for now). Have been noticing spots in all my images that I haven't been able to fix with a regular clean myself. Hoping to get a recommendation for a professional cleaning service that won't break my bank?

I know Camera house or Walsch optics are probably the way to go, but I'm just curious if someone knows someone or has had a good experience with a particular store.

Thanks!!

Not that long ago, I thought Reddit was a really safe social media platform. A place where everyone can just layout their thoughts and feelings, get unbiased advice and ask any questions without fear of some of the toxic BS we see on other platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Lately, this sub Reddit has become a quagmire of sock puppet accounts talking to themselves. It seems this is mostly directed at me, which is disappointing.

Is there anything moderators can do? These sock puppets accounts are destroying really good threads about all manner of things. Something that I’m used to on Facebook but really quite sad to see here on the Hobart Sub Reddit.

I dunno man, just disappointing - what do you guys reckon?

Hello all, visiting your beautiful city in October and got scheduled or reservations to all the places I was planning to (Agrarian, Sonny, Fico, Bar Wa etc) but due to scheduling conflicts I have to pick one of two: I can only go to either Omotenashi or Dier Makr. Which would you recommend as being more unique to Tassie & in terms of quality?

The tale of the beached whale… a moving story about a community coming together or is it trying a bit too hard?

Hi i'm 15yo from south korea

Getting Crazy fps on major gpu demanding games. Atm Im on Marvel’s Spiderman 2, Battlefield 6, Gow Ragnarok, Call Of Duty Mw, FC 26 etc. Add me on Steam, Epic or whatever!!!!

I was chatting with u/Edwin_Johnstone this morning and found his candor refreshing, and rather than have a discussion about his policies in private messages I thought we could all benefit from being able to ask him some questions about his policies going into the Council Elections in October.

Is it Lord Mayor you're running for, Edwin?

I don't want to misrepresent him, so I'll refrain from any specific questions on my part. It rather seems the popular sentiment from the private account brigade is for me to butt out. So I'll sit this one out and I guess if no one else has questions this can just drift off with zero responses.

Thanks for your time,

Sam

G’day legends! I’m a Hobart based videographer and I directed this music video for local artist, Charlotte Lucretia. We had a minuscule budget and no real crew so made the most of the available light and architecture in Hobart’s parking garages.

The bulk of the video was shot in Argyle Street Carpark with some additional shots in the Market Place carpark, and the white backdrop scenes were filmed at OI Studios. We filmed high up in the carpark in the couple of hours before they closed for the night to avoid being a nuisance, and only rare encountered anyone while shooting. Hope you enjoy!

Hi everyone, my partner, our 17-month-old daughter and I have recently moved back to Hobart after living here previously. I’m working full-time at UTAS and we’re currently looking for a long-term rental.

We’re already checking Realestate, Gumtree and Facebook groups, but I thought I’d ask locals if there are any other places worth looking, or if anyone happens to know of something becoming available.

Ideally 2–3 bedrooms, up to $600/week. Happy to look outside the CBD as well.

Thanks!

Anyone else walk through the north Hobart strip and just wish it was pedestrianised?

She seems great.
Bus Stops!
Improving public transport people actually use to commute!
Plus, it's something the council can actually do something about.
Something other than another round of selfie self-promotional "advocacy".
Why focus on Louise Elliot (and others) when this reasonable lady ticks all the boxes without being a social media troll?

I’m currently with Aurora. I have already moved places. How do I change my address? Do I need to have someone come out? Electricity already works.
