Does anyone know what the turn around time is for getting new lenses into old glasses frames? I need to up my perscription, but I adore my frames, and only have one pair of glasses...Or how are those el cheapo ones from the chemist in the short term?

Puppy Schools [20 Jul 2008|09:58pm]

[ mood | happy ]

Good evening!

Having just become the proud parent of a seven week old Blue Heeler, I am looking for a puppy school.

I currently live in Newport (Williamstown for those who don't know where that is) But I am willing to travel for a highly recommended trainer, however West or South East would be good. I'd prefer classes, so he can socialise too, rather than private.

I don't even know what a reasonable price range for sessions would be either...

I am planning on practicing a few things with him in the next few days, mainly how to walk on the lead, properly.

His Dad is very smart & I taught him a few things with ease, so I anticipate it should be smooth sailing as his personality is much like his Daddy's.

Thanks in advance.

Renting :S [20 Jul 2008|09:20pm]

puce_leprechaun
I'm just stating to apply for rental properties and am looking for advice!

I'm getting all my references together with the application and putting them in a folder to give to the agents at the inspections which was recommended in another post.

I'm moving in with a friend and we both work full time (I'm a student as well) but where only 21 and with the market being so competitive at the moment I don't like our chances.

How likely is it that people will be offering more than the advertised price at the inspections?


Any other tips or advice?

Lasagna [20 Jul 2008|02:16pm]

[ music | I Ran - Flock of Seagulls ]

This is a rather random question. My mother recently became a Canteen Manager of a Girls High School and they are looking for a new Lasagne supplier. The school used to buy them off the The Edinburgh but a change in management two years ago changed supplier and the girls and the staff are dissatisfied with the current supplier. [They did contact the Edinburgh but the Caterer has since left].

Does anyone know of a supplier which makes really good Lasagne, preferably in the Inner-City??

Thank-you!

Raqs Gothique @ the OMEDA Festival. Melbourne, Vic (AU) [19 Jul 2008|08:53pm]

thatgothgrrl
Hello all,

if you are in Melbourne and haven't made it out to the OMEDA festival then I urge you to do so - Sunday is the last day and there is so much to see and do (and buy!!) Be sure to check out the market place - its been deadly on my wallet this year. And the taster workshops have been awesome, I'm booked for the Bollywood tomorrow with Kelly Garland, and Maria Sangiorgi and Melissa Christini's workshops today were just brilliant.
The PDF for the festival is at the OMEDA website: www.omeda.org.au

* Raqs Gothique will be highlighted on the marketplace stage with SerpentSkirt at 1.40(ish) pm, if you are considering auditioning for SerpentSkirt on the 28th of July then this is a great way to see us and check it out.

* Ma'isah's afternoon workshop "Slow Controlled Movements with Accents - the ultimate spooky workshop" is booked out! However if there are no-shows or any room available I will be able to accommodate a small number of extras on the day - so be sure to put your name down as a stand-by in case a place opens up!

* Both Bayside Hafla and the OMEDA Gala Dinner/Show were both awesome gigs, and we will have some new video for 08 (finally) up on the website as soon as possible - so stay tuned! And keep an eye out for more gigs as the year progresses - we have some dramatic new shows for you.

Hope to see you there!
Ma'isah

(x-posted rather a bit - sorry if you see this one lots)

Geelong [19 Jul 2008|06:13pm]

blarglefiend
I'm hoping there are some Geelong folk hanging around here, because there doesn't seem to be a more appropriate LJ community...

I'm vaguely considering a move to Geelong. Very vaguely. Is this a sane thing to do if you don't drive a car? The bus network looks reasonably thorough, but only some of the timetables are available at the moment (Viclink appears to be screwed for regional bus timetables right now) so I'm not clear on frequency. Are they reliable, or are they run like Melbourne busses?

What parts of town are definite "stay away" zones?

Found on the Darebin Libraries website..



Find a bargain at a Darebin Libraries second hand book sale.
Prices range from 50c to $1

Saturday 9 August - 10am - 3pm

Reservoir Scout Hall (Edwards Lake Park)
Leamington St, Reservoir 3073

http://www.darebinlibraries.vic.gov.au/Page.aspx?ID=103



Don't assume they only get rid of the bad books, some of my favourite books (Solomon the Rusty Nail for example) have been picked up from these sales.

Removalists [19 Jul 2008|04:05pm]

guitar_hwy_rose
Can anyone recommend a removalist? We are moving from one side of the city to the other and I haven't used a removalist before since we've always just gotten friends to help us. This time it's a bigger move and I don't need the stress of doing it all ourselves so I would really appreciate recommendations.

Donating Clothing & Bedding [19 Jul 2008|12:30pm]

nadiosa
Me again... I'm on the charity committee at my work and I've been given the job of finding an organisation to donate HEAPS of clothes and bedding to, last year we took it to the Salvos but this year we really want it to go somewhere that will give the items to people in need, rather than people having to buy it.

Does anyone know of anywhere we could take it?

MUCH appreciated :o)

What's a good place for Teppanyaki?

Looking between outer Eastern/South Eastern suburbs to the CBD.

How much would it cost for 4 people in your experience?

mmmmm

Can anyone recommend a good and reasonably priced (cheap) massage place anywhere in Melbourne? Shiatsu, Reflexology or Thai are what I'm interested in.

Trampoline jumping [18 Jul 2008|06:52am]

laconicmachine
Hi

Does anyone know where a friend and i can go to some centre where they have trampolines for adults to play on?
I've had a long 'serious' week and need to do something fun and silly and just let it all out. Have a craving to go and let it off on some trampoline jumping. All i know are one's they have in kids centres which are too small and adults can't really play on them.

Are there any for adults to play on out there?

TIA.

Mechanics Please! [18 Jul 2008|12:44am]

jensetsfire
so i was wondering..

has anyone ever had their car serviced at K'Mart Auto??

If so, please tell me about your experience and are they worth going to for the low prices or should we all steer clear.

What about Ultra Tune?

Thanks :D

Slide Film Processing [17 Jul 2008|06:35pm]

cobweb_lace
Greetings, Photo-Maniacs!

I was wondering if anyone out there could offer suggestions on where I can get slide film processed (and if you know of more than one place, which is cheapest?).

I already know about Lab-X in St. Kilda, but if anyone knows of anywhere closer to the CBD (as I live there) that would be great.

I've spoken to a Michaels employee who was really helpful about the technical side of it, but most places like Michaels seem to just send off the slide film they get to another lab to be processed as they don't have the facilities there, which is fair enough. However, it just usually takes about a week minimum, apparently, to get your slides back and my uni is setting weekly assignments requiring submission of 36 processed slides every Tuesday morning (along with commentary and notes) so I really don't have the time to wait around for the film to be sent off, processed and sent back. I've heard that at actual processing labs the processing process (apologies - I'm tired and my synonym-o-nator is broken) takes a minimum of two hours, which is a bit more like what I'm after.

That being said, a rough price guide if you can offer one would also be great - I am, after all, a uni student and trying to finance my whole life off of two to three shifts a week at the moment, and we all know film photography is unavoidably expensive.

END TRANSMISSION
