We have one for our community council area (it's very rural, so not that many folks on it).  But it's hilarious the stuff that does get posted.
That said, we've really been looking out for each other lately, because there have been house break ins and people have been posting suspicious behaviour.  Obviously police involved too, but we've been really caring for our neighbours.

Ours has definitely been warning each other about break-ins and the like but then you get people taking the piss and they all start making “joke” posts and it just gets obnoxious and irrelevant.

Oh, I hate food disappointment!  I'm sorry you have another day to go.  :(  But, man... I'm with you.  I want pizza (or something with tomatoes/tomato sauce on) so badly.

Oh YIKES....that's literally one of the smells where it can be SO strong (so if you don't like it - or even sometimes if you do - it can be painful!)

I think I can count on one hand the number of times I've had, or even smelled, curry since I've lived here.  I do most of the cooking, and we don't get takeaways.  I'm happy with this arrangement.  :)

Am I weird for loving curry? I'm so glad it's universal here.

I thought it was Tuesday this morning, my mind is all over the place!

Can allergy season be over please? My husband and I are a chorus of sniffles and my ears keep getting blocked so I feel like I'm talking under water half the time :(

My work recently banned smelly foods - including fish.  It annoys me when food is banned.   ::)

You are blessed with not having to smell that every Thursday! Thankfully my desk is quite far so it's a waft every now and then. Can't imagine the people closer to the canteen!

That’s the thing.  Smelly food is different for everyone.

I think we should just put the microwaves outside.

Or in a well ventilated room with doors :)
