My brother has one and they are a lot of fun. Set everything to comfort and the exhaust to Sport Mode and you can sound like a feral beast just driving around normally
I’m really sorry if my mood lately is affecting anyone else. I used to tough things out, macgyver my way around problems or distract myself with projects but life has been really difficult for a long time now and I am struggling severely.
If I seem really fractious, getting upset at what seems like small things, or oddly rough/blunt in my manner it is not at you.
It's okay Melba, I havent noticed you being blunt or anything :) besides, being fractious is understandable with having to deal with your health and melbcat's, and the stress of it all.
We love you, I don't think you could do anything to turn us against you :D
^^ this. I have never thought you were whiny or otherwise antisocial. Please vent away. You are going through shit and we are here for you. I like to hear your updates, and I feel good when you have little wins.
I'm doing an open day trial at a co-working space today as I seriously need to get out of the house at least one day during the week, full time WFH gets super monotonous and negatively affects my mood. As sad as this sounds, I was excited today to get dressed up and leave my house on a work day. The office I'm at is new and super nice, if a bit loud. It's nice to be around people during work time but nobody doing the trial (I think we're all sitting in the same area) is talking to one another? I'm not sure it's worth paying to use a co-working space where I just keep to myself, I can do that at home for free. I need to suss whether the place organises networking opportunities for members to mix, to make a membership worth it.
I also get this, I know most commentators online would rather WFH all the time and don't get me wrong, I do love 1-2 days WFH in the week - but every single day would drive me to depression (and has done so). Not necessarily because I have no friends/life outside of work but because I like my work to feel like I'm not operating like a slave in solitary confinement all the time (worse yet having that dungeon of confinement be a permanent fixture of my home). I'm really glad I have at least 2-3 work days involving positive colleague interactions that take me out of my headspace
I like working at home, but only the boringest bits of my job can be done there. Te good stuff requires being on site. Unfortunately I lost my ‘office’ to Covid rules and now have to be around other people while there. This sucks rancid donkey gnads
Off for a drive in the country today. Fingers crossed I can still get petrol at under 190c this afternoon when I need to fill up. I do have a lock on 180c at 7/11, so if it has a massive jump I can at least get the 25c discount. These 40c+ jumps suck.
I’ve seen under 170c per litre around lately, I’d be re-locking. Just used my app, found 164.9/l. When I was in NZ petrol was almost $3/l! We have it good.
Her family went over to hers' on father's day to see why she wasn't picking up. She had a fall in the bathroom and hit her head. Apparently she'd been there for 2 days. She was only in her 30's. I really cannot imagine what that'd be like finding your daughter and sister that way.
I'm at a loss for words. edit and by that I mean shocked
Is the average teenage population really have a lack of respect?
Appointment booked for 7.30pm last night. Quick c++ basics lesson and homework help as a favour for my wife's classmate's kid. I never used c++ by trade so I spent some time getting familiar with it, and how to play Farkle.
7.30pm comes and the 17yo just bails and says they're having dinner, no apology. Wife and I were like, fuck it, dumped the appointment and went to sleep at 8pm.
Sent another message this morning reminding them to be there or cancel 4hr before, some notes and a reminder that they don't have enough time now, and don't chicken out. Straight up says they promise, no greetings.
Sent another message this morning reminding them to be there or cancel 4hr before, some notes and a reminder that they don’t have enough time now, and don’t chicken out. Straight up says they promise, no greetings.
Nope. Message 'em back and say "Sorry no longer able to assist you". If they ask why just be blunt "Mate, you were disrespectful as heck, I was helping you as a favor, if your gonna be rude then I dont have to do shit"
They did go through a few years of covid that probably fucked them up in ways like this. You could let them know their tone seem unappreciative of being given a tutoring favour. Mind you, I'd've thought there was enough online about learning C++ in a self directed manner so maybe the kid just isn't interested. Don't measure all 17yo's by Baku's level of maturity.
But I did have Overwatch friend, so mature I thought they were 25, until they mentioned they suddenly mentioned that they were 15 at the time. So that was the baseline I had since then.
How do we even know Baku is actually 17 🤔 lol but yeah some teens are just... Something else. I think most teens are like normal and respectful, they just test boundaries, it's what growing up is about lol
If the kids go down well enough tonight I think I'll go watch British Lion.
You have to respect Steve Harris' organisational skills to bring his side project along with his main band and play the Croxton one night, then Rod Laver the next. He's been playing stadiums for decades now, so there must be something humbling about playing such a comparatively smaller venue like the Croxton before the big show.
Woke up in sweat from a bad dream. Now the wind is keeping awake. I think the bad dream is a manifestation of some catastrophising I’ve been been doing lately over an issue.
I used to have lots of bad dreams which were realistic and traumatic. I'm the sort of person that regularly uses reverse psychology on myself, or turns things on their head. So one day I thought, "you know what these are Sheila? FREE MOVIES!" and decided I was going to enjoy the free entertainment provided by my apparently fertile imagination. Promptly stopped having dreams.
15L of ginger brew. Hesitant to call it beer because the readings make no sense. Fucked up the temperature both directions. Meh if nothing else it will be tasty water to base punch on for party in a few weeks.
You should get it every 10 years, for both it and the tetanus it is paired with. I've been sent for additional boosters after injuries with tetanus risk, so apparently the more the merrier.
I've been reading a book on Hoarding and watching some hoarding clean up videos and it's seriously making me think about my own tendencies to buy things and keep things.
I do ask myself now before buying if I actually need something , if what already have at home suffices and where would I keep it.
I also take into account if an item makes work. For example, husband wanted a coffee maker, I thought ok, a simple one that's easy to use and to clean and look after since I'm the one who does that. Not one that would take 20 minutes a day to upkeep. Nope,, he wanted one with all bells and whistles . I thought a simple drip coffee maker would suffice but husband wanted the "best". To me best includes how I am going to use it and how it fits into my life as a whole. I bought a press coffee maker which is a little fussy but not too bad.
I'm good at chucking stuff out or giving it away and have given up keeping stuff that needs repairs but takes too much effort. Overall I see it as I have had use out of an item and that is good, now I have no more use. I got my value from it. :)
I have a rather big collection of collectibles (mostly Uncharted and Goosebumps stuff and Lego, but also some jurassic park things and Indiana Jones) and since the break up and moving into a smaller house I've come to think 'what am I doing with this stuff?' Yeah some is nice to look at, but it's just clutter and start thinking will I have this stuff when I'm 70? What am I going to do with it. So I've been thinking about downsizing and selling a lot of it.
But I ask myself now 'do I need it', 'will it work, etc.
Up northside for my haircut after ages and ICE CREAM SOCIAL IS PERMANENTLY CLOSED??!?!?!!!!!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔💔💔💔 I see from insta it's for serious health reasons, totally understandable but... I miss being able to treat myself to a drop dead delicious slice of pie when I'm in this side of town. Their baked goods were truly sublime
If you're ever on Sydney Rd, Fluffy Tornado has opened and their range of gourmet ice creams they make onsite is superb. They have a vegan menu and a usual one, but they're all weird interesting flavours (not so weird, but I go a lemon tart pastry ice cream and it has actual bits of lemon tart in it).
Gloria's, The Good Baker, Choukette - off the top of my head, all on Sydney Road.
Gloria's is a little vegan/veggo/usual cafe, and they bake all their delicious desserts, cakes, pies, etc on site. Owned by a couple they are both so very happy to adjust any menu pieces.
Choukette is a French bakery/cafe that has a range of hot and cold pastries and desserts. Beautiful decor and vibe, lovely baristas and owners.
The Good Baker has opened just recently but I have enjoyed everything I've had so far. Range of hot and cold pastries and desserts and bread, all made on site, and coffee of course.
Edit to add:
A1 Bakery is further up Sydney Rd, but they are a Lebanese/Middle Eastern bakery, I think they generally do savoury pastry items and bakery goods. Large venue, so plenty of places to sit, but tends to very busy because they are so fkn good 🤤
Wild Life Bakery tends to be more bread and cheese, but they also do some nice baked goods as well. I think they are off Lygon St, but there is a Superette on Sydney Rd iirc.
Fell back asleep after waking up early for the first time in a long time. Thankfully I'll only be like five or ten minutes late to work, coulda been a disaster
Exactly why I have 3 alarms set on two phones each, all of them snooze enabled and spread out across a 40 minute period prior to the final deadline for waking up.
::: spoiler Cat and general rambles
Antibiotics finishing soon… relieved. With the normal routine of mixing meds into wet food morning and night, adding 2x daily antibiotics could have been easy.
Unfortunately bumping the pain meds to 3x daily for the uti spaced the doses out awkwardly and Melbcat stopped accepting medicated food, so I’ve been having to catch and wrestle her 5 times a day.
I have an appointment tomorrow so will be too tired then, but I plan to declutter and sort the bathroom next. The shower stool was a good idea in theory but is actually more of a space hog and a trip hazard.
:::
Note to self: Never drive from the Ring Rd to the Eastern Fwy via Bulleen Rd. Ever.
That was not a fun route, in the dark and riddled with roadworks. Plus my GPS seemed to think I was a truck over 10m long as it tried to send me on a very inappropriate detour.
If it's any consolation, I'm appreciative that you went that way instead of rat running down my street like many people trying to avoid the works do. They are what I call class A cunts. You are awesome.
Daylight savings is a lie! Why do you lie? It makes the cows confused!!! - a random complainer to CSIROs customer service (source: my dad works for them 😂)
Oh my word.. so I have all of the flavours of shakes from https://healthyweightforlife.com.au/ and this morning I'm having "tropical banana" except I have been a little cheeky this morning and made it with milk instead of water, but still blended in some ice too.
It is legitimately a good shake. Not even 'good for a meal replacement shake' it's actually good. It tastes like a Barney Banana.
Watching the cross examination of Pamela Smart on YT (channel name is dreading), and I am losing my miiiiind, she is so stupid. Like, maybe, actually stupid. I cannot stop laughing 😂💀
God, I cannot believe people as stupid as her can take someone else's life. Least she'll never be released.
Yep, she is a predator who is still victimising her victim. And people ask why she's got life, but the killers are out... BECAUSE THEY WERE MINORS AT THE TIME holy God. She was an adult who abused children to kill her husband, of course she got life and the kids got paroled. Ugh.
I have heard of that movie, but only just learnt about the case since dreading covered it; hadn't realised it was based of a real thing.
And her recent apology video, is not even an apology - so so stereotypical of narcissists and sociopaths to show such empty remorse
She's fucked up. Like, beyond rehab... Which I guess is why they're never letting her out.
I really enjoy dreading for true crime; they're comprehensive and extensive with their research, and are always respectful of the victims first and foremost, talking about how they were real people who had families and friends who loved them. He never shies away from calling things what they are; even though this trial happened in the 90s, he calls what she did 'sexual abuse', which it 100% was, which at the time wasn't really recognised as being rape, which it is.
Anyway, she's just a fucked up person. So utterly deadpan. She corrects her defense and the prosecution and comes off so fkn bitchy. Her story just doesn't make sense, and she's too stupid to realise it doesn't at all exonerate her.
I'm onto the second dreading true crime video of dumb pam smart.
nothing is easy for a psycho, they always give long complicated reasons
the incredible thing about her testimony is that all the other members of the conspiracy independently confessed and it is so obvious she is just making shit up
New car day, yay!
Aww yiss! What is this new car?
Scored an i30n, very fun zoomy car!

Ooooh, good tip, thank you!

Nah, it's white (for now).

Termite Custard is such a great enrichment idea!!!
Thunderbolts & lightning, very very frightening.
The cat is hiding, the clouds are out, my plan to go get brekkie supplies is cancelled
I've just got distant ominous rumbling here, it looks on the radar like the storm is passing to the south of me.
I had been hoping to attack the laundry backlog.
I wonder if constant strange weather is going to effect each of our psyche's and well as national mood.
it's known hot weather and windy weather effects us, what if strange weather was a constant
I’m really sorry if my mood lately is affecting anyone else. I used to tough things out, macgyver my way around problems or distract myself with projects but life has been really difficult for a long time now and I am struggling severely.

I want whatever drugs the BoM is on. Supposed to be 20C tonight? Going up to 23? In what universe...
Currently 14 here. With a forecast overnight low of 17 and back up to 23 at midnight. Something's not adding up.
I got a good laugh out of this. I too am sad for the revision down from 27.
Ohh that only means one thing in early spring ; WIND. GIANT HAYFEVER NORTH WIND
Do NOT want
Already there bby with a blocked nose and watery eyes 👌
I've been snorting nasonex in preparation for just this eventuality. I might hang out next to the air filter as well.
Jane said it will be 26c tomorrow.
And I'll also win tattslotto. Good news all around!
Wow. Thats stuffed up and do weird. I really hope it doesn’t up like it says!
When I went to bed it was 14 degrees, now 22.6
I think you owe the BoM an apology...
YOU CAN DO IT!!! YOU ARE H O T T O G O!
I BELIEVE IN YOUUUUUU 💜💜💜

I totally get it. I come in to the office every day to help my mental health
But how do you have your daily afternoon siesta?
There’s phone booth pods, sound proofed, good for snooze
Ha we have those here too, we call them screaming booths.
I do that while working
I also get this, I know most commentators online would rather WFH all the time and don't get me wrong, I do love 1-2 days WFH in the week - but every single day would drive me to depression (and has done so).

This is the way.
As the owner of a teenager, I second this
Yep, if they fail to show up for the 7.30pm tonight (which was agreed upon on Monday) then that would be the message.
I am contemplating just telling them at the beginning of the meeting, prior to commencing the lesson.
You won't have manners if they are not taught to you.
I was traumatised to the point of enforcing them lol.
"The beatings will continue until
moralemanners improve"They did go through a few years of covid that probably fucked them up in ways like this. You could let them know their tone seem unappreciative of being given a tutoring favour.

Lack of consequences is also part of it.
If they got charged for not cancelling in time they'll learn real fast.
The Void has discovered that he is actually athletic enough to get to the top of the fridge. The house parkour range has been noisily expanded.

Oh Lordy!!
I really want to do one of those whole room cat runs at picture rail level, with the steps and stuff.
Nice little weekend project for you
After the whole buy a house part…
Why do universities insist on group assignments?
Because employment is one big group assignment.
There it is.
To break you, keep you sleep deprived and lower your scores in other subjects.
It's absurd that you can work your ass off and have your mark lowered because of someone else.
Sadism
I got out of mine by being unwell last week, so I did it by myself today 😅
If the kids go down well enough tonight I think I'll go watch British Lion.

He's been playing stadiums for decades now, so there must be something humbling about playing such a comparatively smaller venue like the Croxton before the big show.
Woke up in sweat from a bad dream. Now the wind is keeping awake. I think the bad dream is a manifestation of some catastrophising I’ve been been doing lately over an issue.
Same. I wonder if the wind itself is adding stress.
My dreams and sleep have been bad lately too.
I woke up crying.
Aww man 🫂
I used to have lots of bad dreams which were realistic and traumatic. I'm the sort of person that regularly uses reverse psychology on myself, or turns things on their head. So one day I thought, "you know what these are Sheila? FREE MOVIES!" and decided I was going to enjoy the free entertainment provided by my apparently fertile imagination. Promptly stopped having dreams.
The carpet cleaner has been cleaned, suppose I better clean the carpet eh, but just in the bad spots.
there is NO innuendo intended ...lol
15L of ginger brew. Hesitant to call it beer because the readings make no sense. Fucked up the temperature both directions. Meh if nothing else it will be tasty water to base punch on for party in a few weeks.
My only attempt was super volatile. No airlock? Do you burp it?
Airlock is primary. This is theoretically secondary. But I’m pretty sure it’s dead.
BOOM
Vaccinations aren't on the PBS, getting hep a/b; and whooping cough+tetanus . $110ish.
EDIT: Are you male under 26 who plans to eat a few vaginas in your life? Consider getting the HPV-vax while you're eligible: +1 Vs. some oral cancers.
Sounds like a good investment. Would cost you more to treat either them.
Get the cough one! I didn’t know the one you get as a kid wears off. Very unpleasant lesson.
Same. Misery for months. Not sure if throwing up buckets of frothy sputum for a week or 2 months of cough tickle was worse.
I had six months of cough until you vomit. And my gag reflex has never recovered. Have trouble eating yoghurt!
You should get it every 10 years, for both it and the tetanus it is paired with. I've been sent for additional boosters after injuries with tetanus risk, so apparently the more the merrier.
very worthwhile to get these

Did you go??
Nope I did look it up though, to talk to my wife about going. Will let you know if we do.
Tbh I only ever went to Ice Cream Social for the pies and cakes not the ice creams hahaha
Ah damn, yeah they don't do that. :(
Taking any recommendations for places that do nice indulgent pie slices though 👀 if you know of any

My eye just caught A1 bakery and I second that place. There's one in Fairfield and it's best if you just want to grab some food.
They do a nutella bagel as well which is really nice

Arborist consult done and trees severely haircut. Now for the slab repair dude.
on a related note, if anyone wants pear wood or apple wood for smoking, HMU. You will need to dry it yourself.
Also carving spoons. What general area would we need to collect from?
Moorabbin area
Thanks. I shall ask Himself if he’s interested. 🥄
apple and pear make beautiful inlay for marquetry and turning and is quite rare
so maybe put it on FB for woodworkers 👍
Hmmmm, I don't have a smoker but my uncle does....

I hope so too. She’s getting heaps of cuddles and the vet has sent her info over to the specialists for if she needs more help

Thank you chef. Cooked to perfection. I'm still going to throw a tantrum though.

September is the month to try wake up early and enjoy brighter mornings before daylight saving in October takes them away again
Daylight savings is a lie! Why do you lie? It makes the cows confused!!! - a random complainer to CSIROs customer service (source: my dad works for them 😂)
I worked for the CSIRO for about a year as well and I can confirm it's a lie
It also confuses the chooks and fades the curtains!!
We are Geelong!
Yippie!!
Congrats mate!🎉
Oh my word.. so I have all of the flavours of shakes from https://healthyweightforlife.com.au/ and this morning I'm having "tropical banana" except I have been a little cheeky this morning and made it with milk instead of water, but still blended in some ice too.
It is legitimately a good shake. Not even 'good for a meal replacement shake' it's actually good. It tastes like a Barney Banana.
Well I'm sold.
next time I am bedridden with sciatica I am def doing this
dogs NOT happy with weather. Kelpie has engaged shadow mode.
Tasks on my list of fixing up stuff continue to be ticked off. :)
Good night everyone.
Blergh. Damn wind.
Watching the cross examination of Pamela Smart on YT (channel name is dreading), and I am losing my miiiiind, she is so stupid. Like, maybe, actually stupid. I cannot stop laughing 😂💀
God, I cannot believe people as stupid as her can take someone else's life. Least she'll never be released.
She might have believed her name made her smart.
sadly this psychopath convinced teens to help her commit murder
Aaaand, if you haven't watched it there's a movie, To Die For, with Nicole Kidman of a similar murder case. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=snYvuUvm1Ec
Yep, she is a predator who is still victimising her victim. And people ask why she's got life, but the killers are out... BECAUSE THEY WERE MINORS AT THE TIME holy God. She was an adult who abused children to kill her husband, of course she got life and the kids got paroled. Ugh.
I have heard of that movie, but only just learnt about the case since dreading covered it; hadn't realised it was based of a real thing.
And her recent apology video, is not even an apology - so so stereotypical of narcissists and sociopaths to show such empty remorse
I'm listening to the *dreading * podcast now.
The real life crime is way worse than in the movie 😧
omg, she has the flattest affect I have ever heard. Just zero emotion.
She's fucked up. Like, beyond rehab... Which I guess is why they're never letting her out.
I really enjoy dreading for true crime; they're comprehensive and extensive with their research, and are always respectful of the victims first and foremost, talking about how they were real people who had families and friends who loved them. He never shies away from calling things what they are; even though this trial happened in the 90s, he calls what she did 'sexual abuse', which it 100% was, which at the time wasn't really recognised as being rape, which it is.
Anyway, she's just a fucked up person. So utterly deadpan. She corrects her defense and the prosecution and comes off so fkn bitchy. Her story just doesn't make sense, and she's too stupid to realise it doesn't at all exonerate her.

A golden successful individual
and not some weirdo in a studio apartment
a drunk loner of a building society

I'm onto the second dreading true crime video of dumb pam smart.
nothing is easy for a psycho, they always give long complicated reasons
the incredible thing about her testimony is that all the other members of the conspiracy independently confessed and it is so obvious she is just making shit up
