So great news all around today. Kiddo had his weigh in since he failed to meet his metrics. and the results were better than anyone expected. So he has been medically cleared. Turns out boosting breastfeeding with formula was the right call. Second of all went and checked out some car options since my wifes POS car has finally had a crack at killing the mechanic, so now they beleive us! so we should be on the road to getting that fixed up (and therefore pissing it off whilst its still running). Couple of really good options that shouldnt send us broke, so thats exciting.
How did it get to Saturday already. I’m not complaining, but this week has been a blur and now it’s back to chores again and when does it end. So much repeat.
I'm curious as to why the other city instances or whatever you want to call them, aren't as big as Melbourne is. Like I often see the other cities daily threads having like maybe 5 comments, whereas like yesterday Melbourne got 300+.
Edit: Though to quickly add, outside the DT, there isn't a lot of comments are post compared to places like Reddit. For obvious reasons.
There's a person loitering outside my neighbours place (and mine on and off) and she's clearly not in her right mind, she apparently took photos of my neighbours children and was asking about them. The police did a welfare check but have said she's definitely suffering mental health issues but as she's not threatening anyone, there's nothing they can do. Hopefully she just moves on eventually. She left at one point and said "I'm hungry, I'm just going to get some lunch and come back" and then walked up the road and then came back.
Yeah, it's a bit concerning both for our own safety, our neighbours, and hers, she's clearly not mentally sound and no one is helping her. It's frustrating that we have to wait for an incident or a threat before the police will do anything.
Help is scarce for those who fall through the cracks; getting my mum help for schizophrenia back in 2011 was like pulling teeth, and I can't imagine how bad it is now. I called the CAT team to come over and she bloody masked and was totally fine and lucid. As soon as they left she was back to muttering to herself about hell and demons, and doing jogging laps around the house (among other, more traumatising incidents). Took 3 goes before she couldnt mask in front of them lol I was 19 and mum was 39. I look back and idk how I survived tbh
It's hard to get help to those who need it most, when they don't believe they need help at all. Keep an eye out for this lady, note down any times you see her/think you hear her. And make sure everything is locked up. Not trying to scare you, but you wont be able to reason with someone not in their right mind. Be prepared to call your local police station/000 if you feel unsafe or threatened; at the very least it will serve as a record of incidents so hopefully this lady can get help before anything major happens to her, you, or your neighbours.
I keep buying things for my garden project! I've added a revamp of the front and side garden, added in a few decor items, it's all starting to add up to a bit more than planned. If it works out like I hope it will it should be really nice though.
They certainly can be. In comparison to what I could have spent I'm not doing too badly, and I should recoup most of the cost in fruit & veg over a couple of years. But I did go down a bit of a rabbithole of garden decor items on Temu.
I tried doing that, starting with a lounge setting, but it did not really work out for me so the lounge is out and I'm going back to garden. Most of the decorations are going in the side "garden" which is more like a hallway than a room. Hopefully it will help it feel more like a place in its own right and not just a service corridor. Plus the kitchen window looks out there so a few things to look out to will be appreciated.
Had some anxiety around money when I left to get new glasses, but came back and didn't have to pay a cent, and I get all the bells and whistles for free. Ultra SV Hard Coating on both lens, and the ultraclear on my regular glasses, so pretty keen about that. Though I found out that my eyesight is pretty shit, left is +2 and right is +2.25. Not blind as a bat, but you know, pretty bad.
My daughter's are +4.75 and +4.25. One pair of multi focals with thinned out lenses and one pair of reading glasses $900 later. And the little brat doesn't even wear the multi focals.
Completed the tummy exercises even though it's a rest day, and tbh that's all I've done today. Except I seem to have to get up every half hour because kids need food. Especially my daughter.. she eats an incredible amount of food and I'm in admiration of her. I try not to make a big deal about it because girls are too often body shamed and food shamed. My boy has been coming in for hugs every hour or so. He's a very affectionate and quiet child and loves a hug. I'm cherishing these days while they last!
I'm still feeling a bit stung/sour/yuck about yesterday's car shock, and even going over all the things I do and don't have control over haven't completely dislodged those feelings (some deep seated insecurity reviving itself out of nowhere telling me "nobody wants you and you'll never get another decent job once people find out what you're like and you'll be destined to be materially insecure for the rest of your life and you need me to tell you this so that you behave" - BEGONE!!!!)
You know what has started lifting my mood though? Writing little bits of lovely heartfelt things to people in emails/messages that I don't need to include but do, because they resonate with who I am as a person. Got a recent delivery for some locally made candles, they dropped it off the next day FOC and included some generous freebies and a lovely card. So I wrote them back an email about how much it's lifted my spirits and made my week and hoping their kindness is returned to them manifold.
And now I feel much much better. Forget rage-hunting on carsales for now, I think I will set myself a few tasks of Being Excellent To Others this weekend.
If you slept for as long as you did, then that's your body telling you that you need more sleep. Sleep-debt is real, and sleep deprivation is a method of torture for a reason.
Be kind to yourself, no time is wasted when it is spent caring for your meatsack. Let yourself rest, have some food and some water, and try to relax. All will be okay, friend. 💜
I am not eating. But I'm thinking about a meal tomorrow which will be fettucini with truffle oil rainbow trout in tomato chilli garlic and onion sauce. I'm excited
I wish! I've been craving a good home delivery pizza for ages but I got sick of that cycle of; finding a good place, enjoying it for a while, having it go to shit, finding another place etc. I'm glad you've got a good reliable near your place!
Heh heh, have returned from Bunnings the richer by one cordless whippersnapper, which is charging as we speak. I foresee an afternoon of green destruction in the garden. The compost heap will no doubt thank me, even if the neighbours complain.
@Thornburywitch@bot001 one of the nice things about battery whippetsnappers are that they are a bit quieter than the nasty 2 stroke ones. Much easier to start, too!
Nope, the Ozito. Uses dinky little plastic blades. Fine for what I want it for which is basically trimming around trees and the washing line posts. Also my other power tools are all Ozito, and the batteries are interchangeable within the brand.
Anyone interested in free tickets to a Spanish Love Songs concert at Stay Gold at 1pm today? They're an American band. Probably best known for Self Destruction (as a sensible career choice)
Got all of two hours of sleep last night and I'd have to leave at 10:30am to get there so I'd be miserable, as much as I was looking forward to it.
Ask your friends, tickets going to waste if I don't give them away.
The line out of the local maccas drive thru tonight was extreme as I was walking past. sort of reminded me of locky lockdown days where it was sometimes 150m+ long spilling on to the main road.
I'm not judging peoples dinner choices but waiting 20 / 30mins+ for mac mac is just an insult to the kick arse chicken and chips place literally a few doors up which was empty. It's not even a competition their chips are so good (and generous).
People might say "it's convenient". That line didn't look very convenient.
Hey Botto what a fantastic shindig you put on tonight. Love your work. Night shifts a cunt init? Anyway have a good night. Stay safe and see ya tomorrow.
Melbcat has me pinned and I couldn’t reach my cuppa… but with skilful manoeuvring I managed to get hold of the mug handle with my Kmart grabber stick and bring it over without spilling it.
I was very surprised I didn’t just dump it everywhere.
I stuck the top claw sideways through the handle then twisted my wrist anti-clockwise so the top claw pressed against the inner curve of the handle and the bottom claw pressed against the outside of the mug below it. The weight held it in place. Then I swung it horizontally in a curve to my other hand.
If I’d just grabbed the handle like a hand grip and lifted it upwards the weight would have caused the mug to flop forward and spill
Anyone got a recommendation for a place that does testing for a possible adult autism diagnosis? Have always felt there was something different about me and struggled to connect with people and make and keep friendships and keen to know if the cause is in fact something like autism.
Haven't done that before. I score high in the Social Relatedness section, relatively low elsewhere. Total 96. I don't consider myself autistic or as having Asperger's, but do believe I'm further towards that side of the spectrum than most.
I’m similar, I got 85, mostly in the social relatedness section. I know I have abysmal social skills, so that’s unsurprising though I actually thought I may be higher on the scale, some questions were iffy as to how to answer.
Similar, I got 89. A lot of my issues were with sensory, which is also part of CFS.
But yeah, always been considered 'different' so the not neurotypical bit is no surprise.
Curiosity gave in and I had a go, apparently I score 176 on the test. That seems really high, but then I often gave answers I wasn't 100% on because I was somewhere in between.
Yeah, that's also where I ran into issues, I'm quite reserved socially but with the right people and the right vibe I can come alive. In my personal life I'm known for my dinner parties and other sort of old fashion gatherings, but those spaces are very curated by me so I'm much more relaxed. Same goes for compassion and all those other complex emotions, I can be uncomfortably devoid of them but then I can also flip a switch and be all over it.
I feel the exact same way. A lot of the questions I do need context. Like, is the party organised by me? Or will it be a family gathering? I like the library, but would it be during school hours and after babies/toddlers have gone or will it be after school or in the morning for story time. Like there are so many different variables.
I know that I score in the "might have autism might not have it" area, but that's because ADHD and autism are cousins (which funnily enough I have ADHD and my cousin has autism) so often a lot of the symptoms will overlap, and also trauma can manifest itself in ways that are similar to both ADHD and autism.
Did some weeding and a bit of pruning, everything is looking nice and fresh ready to burst out with flowers and growth in spring. Green bin is full and I’m tired, gonna have a coffee and biscuits.
It's such a motivating time of year for gardening, isn't it? It's great having the chance to get outside after the endless cold of winter, and then all the new growth is inspiring.
Shit, I’m lost myself. I feel like you need to watch clone wars if you want to be really informed about it. I don’t really watch cartoons so I’m stepping into all this uninformed
You are on the Saturday DT by the way if that matters to you. It is now Sunday
What are some quotes that live in your head rent-free? Can be from any media: books, TV, movies, comedians, whoever.
I have a few heheh:
"My name is Otto, and I like to get blotto"
"Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at Camp Granada"
"Yoo stoopid wooman! I waz teeching 'er CPR!"
"'Ello 'ello? Can yoo 'ear me?"
"Wo ist mein Wasser!?"
Not all of them, just what came to my head. Tell me your brain-squatting quotes lol
Like the entirety of Priscilla Queen of The Desert and The Birdcage. My mother is very gay and our home video library was a little peculiar, and as a result those two movies are my favourite films of all time and I can quote them word for word.
The older you get, the worse the hangovers hit. Was at a networking event last night and my glass was constantly refilled for hours. I had the power to say no but yeah that didn’t happen. Had fun tho. A chill Saturday is on the cards.
That's it. It tastes good, it makes your mouth dry so you keep slugging down like lolly water and then bang its got ya and you start regretting a lot of things. Then in the morning it gives you a kick in the head for good measure.
Don't beat yourself up. It happens. My tolerance for wine is like 2 - 3 glasses. I've lived long enough to know that wine and I don't really get along but it took many experiences to work that out.
What about spending your days just chilling and absorbing nutrients in the sun and fresh air? Better than following some chemical trails and being a sex-slave to the queen imo.
No I think you've probably arrived at the consensus view. A great soundtrack, set design, good funny moments, and a nice message, but more than a few awkward moments and will not be remembered for good writing.
God, I'm watching Critical Role, been trying to catch up in c3 (like they released episode 70 on Friday and I'm at episode 34 now) and episode 33 and 34 made me cry so much. Oh my God. If y'all like DND, voice actors and have 11 days continous at regular speed to spare, then I recommend Critical Role. But it'll make you cry so much.
::: spoiler gif of Travis Willingham rolling a dice while yelling out "Fucking Mercer!" indicating Matthew Mercer who is the DM for Critical Role
:::
It depends. Campaign 1 is REALLY rough, I think I only got up to episode 11. But C1 is rough because 1) they had a player in the game who isn't there now because of a lot of reasons (health and the way he was interacting with other players in the game and outside the game), and 2) visual and audio quality is bad because it was filmed like almost ten years ago. If you want to know the story of C1 but don't want to watch like 100+ episodes, there is The Legend of Vox Machina, there's currently 2 seasons but it's on Amazon Prime. But it's a pretty honest retelling of the campaign bar that one player and here and there, but the general gist and story beats are largely the same. A lot of people recommend starting C1 at about episode 24 iirc.
Campaign 2 and 3 are great to start from the start. They're currently on C3. Though towards the end of C2 they were affected by Covid, so usually they're rather close together, whereas for the Covid episodes where they could come back and film, they couldn't sit next to each other and most likely had their own little tables so on the screen it looks disjointed imho. But anyways, while C1, 2 and 3 are all set in the same world and some characters from previous campaigns do show up, you can jump in anywhere. Like if you want to watch C3, go for it.
If you want to get into the feel of Critical Role but want something a bit shorter, there's Exandria Unlimited, some of the characters from this goes over into C3. It isn't DM'd by Matthew Mercer, however, Aabria Iyengar is still a FANTASTIC DM. She was great. But yeah. I love Critical Role. Love these nerdy arse voice actors.
Do you think someone who is not a hat person can become one? Not just as a personal transformation, but one that their friends can come to know and accept?
Pretty decent and full day overall. l chilled with a US mate on discord early in the morning for a bit of a catch up and shit talk. My other US mate bailed on our online makeup session, so I had one attempt at doing a face, fucked up my mascara and eyeliner and got it off. My skin is so much better from never wearing make-up anyway. The mascara stayed on a bit and aggravated my eyes all day. I was going to get nicely dressed and presented for the trans fete Transgender Victoria held today, but it was so generally casual I'd have looked a little out of place anyway in a full face.
I met a new work colleague there, totally by surprise and that was great. She's just moved here and only speaks Spanish. She's moved here to live safely as a trans woman, just like I did and we share a lot in common with music taste, general positivity toward being trans and feminism. So we spent the day translating to each other, scored some new clothes and it turns out she also is a going to be a volunteer at the same place I am. She made a lot of connections. She ballsed up dinner plans because she confuses days of the week, but we hung out for hours waiting to go to dinner and became friends in the process. It's nice to meet someone who wants new friends because I do too. We'll be working together soon a lot so it was good to get comms happening and I so rarely have visitors it was just nice to have someone in the apartment to drink tea with, play with the cats and talk about clothes. Our boss is really trying to support her as well, so I'm only too happy to do so as well. I haven't felt so calm and secure that I'm on the right path for many years and it's like all my best personal characteristics are being utilised by those who are also really good people.
The Fete was a success, I did some work but it was great that I now know a bunch of people who are all proactively living their best lives as trans or gender diverse people and actively trying to make a lot of us live better and healthier. There's a whole other paragraph about sober living for trans people and the people I've met in recovery who were there but let's just say everyone is super damn wholesome. I got a lot of positive feedback about my contributions and the staff know they can count on me. I've been giving the option to potentially start helping with their advocacy work as well. It feels like the best activism I've ever lent myself to and I'm so glad to have the time to do it properly without deadlines per se or money constraints to limit the amount of time I can spend on it if I feel it's warranted. It's devoid of the anger I associated with a lot of activism I did in the past, often rightly so of course. It's just a different approach, a bit more intelligent than what I'm used to and aimed at higher levels, less grass roots. I have an inkling that maybe activism in general has matured a lot.
Its good to make another journal entry and thanks everyone for being positive here about my constant references to my gender transition, it's really important to have these positive stories because almost all we hear in the media is about the few people who hate us and the response to it.
Everyone's off having a life, I suppose. It's just a few of us hollering at each other and into the void. Maybe it's a taste of being in a retirement village.
Anyway, since you asked so nicely, here is a very comfortable cat who has quickly cottoned onto the heated mat. Please suppress any urges to poke the precious paw.
Has anyone tried neoguri ramyun? My local Aldi has it on special at 8 bucks for a 5 pack. Same manufacturer as shin ramyun black which I really really like.
Long term NSAID use is generally not good for the gut and dietary absorption :( I used to live off nurofen for a while dealing with severe gum pain, a UTI and bad cramps (thankfully not all together. I now realise these were all secondary to significant stress during the first big lockdown). That ended when I got a stomach ulcer that then forced me onto a relatively bland but probiotic diet for a month.
My use was for sciatica. Without aspirin I wouldn't have been able to start the day, once moving the exercise relieved any muscle tension and pain. Now I have lost weight and that seems to have helped a lot so I can stop taking it. But damn no doctor told me of this side effect and it's not on any aspirin packet. I'm on the road to better now. :)
I have intermittent sciatica & back pain — may I ask what other strategies or medications helped you relieve your symptoms? I exercise and take NSAIDs infrequently. Also tried medical marijuana, which was admittedly fun and def eased anxiety around pain flare-ups but didn't reduce the physical pain noticeably. And yeh trying to avoid opiates for obvious reasons.
Had my spinach brain on and put the grass seeds away from sun to germinate a few days ago… Checked last night, apparently they do need light. (Some plants need darkness to sprout but others need light.) That actually works out better as I can just put them straight on the windowsill.
Soy yogurt for breakfast. My stomach hurts lately.
Another Marketplace sale arranged, hopefully it works out. If it goes through I'll have most of the costs for my garden project covered. It would have been all covered if I hadn't had a bit of a spending spree and bought a bit more than planned. Fingers crossed, the bank balance is looking a bit empty at the moment. If I manage to sell everything I have listed for a decent price I might even be able to add in a decent outdoor mirror for the side garden...
My daughter just showed me the painting she did this week and this proud mum has to share it here. She doesn’t get her talent from me.
Wow I love that!
Nice
That's really nice.
That's absolutely beautiful. What a talent.
Goodness that is good!... Oils on canvas?
Yes she got a couple of canvases last week and did this on one.
Well that's fantastic and calming to behold.
So great news all around today. Kiddo had his weigh in since he failed to meet his metrics. and the results were better than anyone expected. So he has been medically cleared. Turns out boosting breastfeeding with formula was the right call.

hugs, it's great about kiddo. 🤗😊💗
Doing that thing where I just lay in bed hungry because I'm ridiculously comfy and the cat has firmly attached himself.

Nobody else has morning emoji breakfast. We are the cult of BACON at this point.
i blush
You keep this community together 💜 our very own Bacon foundation
<3
If Bacon wasn't here, I wouldn't be 🤷♂️
Everything's better with Bacon.
this is true, we have community building things we do 🥂👍
It's our mate Nath too. He must really like us 👍
Omg we've been seen

There's a person loitering outside my neighbours place (and mine on and off) and she's clearly not in her right mind, she apparently took photos of my neighbours children and was asking about them.

She left at one point and said "I'm hungry, I'm just going to get some lunch and come back" and then walked up the road and then came back.
That can be quite scary to deal with. People need help and you're not wrong/bad to be freaked out.

Wow that must have been so truly awful for you to go through. I'm so sorry that happened.
Thank you for such sound advice, she has just left again, so I will keep an eye on things and note down that she stayed for as long as she did.
Achievement unlocked: another lap around the sun. 🥳
Must. Stop. Shopping.
I keep buying things for my garden project! I've added a revamp of the front and side garden, added in a few decor items, it's all starting to add up to a bit more than planned. If it works out like I hope it will it should be really nice though.
Gardens are a bottomless pit but a good one.
They certainly can be. In comparison to what I could have spent I'm not doing too badly, and I should recoup most of the cost in fruit & veg over a couple of years. But I did go down a bit of a rabbithole of garden decor items on Temu.
I decorate my garden/outdoor areas as if they are a room.
I tried doing that, starting with a lounge setting, but it did not really work out for me so the lounge is out and I'm going back to garden. Most of the decorations are going in the side "garden" which is more like a hallway than a room. Hopefully it will help it feel more like a place in its own right and not just a service corridor. Plus the kitchen window looks out there so a few things to look out to will be appreciated.
Finally starting to feel normal again. What a shitty fucking cold/flu. I have a new bed to assemble and I'm thinking I'll have a go at it.
Take it slow and easy, keep up the water and rest/breaks. Sending good vibes 💜
Thank you ❤️ I wrote a new part to a track I've been working on so I'm very happy 😀
Starting to feel a bit better. Bad mood is mostly gone thank fuck. Another day in bed should do it hopefully.
Enjoy your day!
Thanks mate. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
hugs
Good day to be chilling in bed too. Rest up and hope it's all clear very soon.
Yeehaw!! Howdy pardners and welcome to a rootin' tootin' hollerin' rootin' Saturday!
My mistake one of those rootins should be a tootin!
Then let's just add a rootin' back in there for you!

Because I'm so horribly needy and such an awful pain, I'm announcing my temporary departure. I'm off for the night. Catch y'all on the flipside.
You're not needy or a pain. You're funny and talented and you contribute greatly on here. 🫂
Gotta stand with the CEO on this one! You're not needy or a pain, that's for sure.
Please come back soon and please don’t be so harsh on yourself.
You’re loved here and we’ll all be waiting.
boops nose Mister Anxiety is telling you you are a burden. Mister Anxiety is a donkey and being manipulative. Don't heed the donkey.
Painful waiting for your return maybe. Have fun and please reply in some loose state when you get home.
I'm still feeling a bit stung/sour/yuck about yesterday's car shock, and even going over all the things I do and don't have control over haven't completely dislodged those feelings (some deep seated insecurity reviving itself out of nowhere telling me "nobody wants you and you'll never get another decent job once people find out what you're like and you'll be destined to be materially insecure for the rest of your life and you need me to tell you this so that you behave" - BEGONE!!!!)

Been sleeping all day. I feel like crap today.
I hate the fact I spelt most of the day as well. I can’t win.
Fingers hurt today because i inadvertently stretched my fingers and I guess they’ve swelled up a little thanks to the eczema.
This really sucks.
If you slept for as long as you did, then that's your body telling you that you need more sleep. Sleep-debt is real, and sleep deprivation is a method of torture for a reason.

Yeah I guess. I just wanted to do more today like listen to my podcasts and play some games to unwind.
Had a stressful morning after being woken up and I’m a little down now, trying not to get too down or stressed.
I did a number on the big jar of lollies. I need to stop now.
I've been running errands non-stop for other people since about 7:30am. I've driven 400km today. I'd've rather spent the day in bed.
Bleh. That sucks! I hope you get some rest time of your own.
Who else is having pizza tonight because they can't be stuffed cooking? 🖐
Hash browns and chicken for me.
Here’s the hash browns
::: spoiler Hash browns :::
You can't go wrong with hash browns. Ever.
They tasted really good. I might see if I can get through what I have and then buy another bag.
I've put some sausages in the oven an will have some left over potats and vegies with them.
and I just had some home made pumpkin soup. ( but no bread with it )
Gravy. Is there gravy? Please.
No. I had mustard. I only make gravy when I do a roast and it more au jus than thickened gravy
You know what I'm happy with mustard. If I don't have gravy then it's always hot english mustard for me 👍
Left overs... and the kids seem to be happy with wheatbix.
My kid doesn't that too. Cornflakes for dinner. Knock yourself out kid.
leftover kimchi fried rice for me! Kind of wish it was a pizza though D:
Maybe next time. If I have leftovers that always takes priority.
And here’s my chicken
::: spoiler fresh air fried chicken :::
Smells so nice
Oh my. That looks so good. Enjoy buddy.
Thanks. It was yummy. Shame I couldn’t keep the hash browns and chicken together.
Had to do them in batches.
That same with me
Made pizzas last night. Tonight we had a feast from St.Burgs.
Best burgers out west.
What did you get?
Chicken burger with Chipotle and honey.
Also loaded fries and onion rings.
Highly recommend. Family got a variety and there's was no bad burger.
I am not eating. But I'm thinking about a meal tomorrow which will be fettucini with truffle oil rainbow trout in tomato chilli garlic and onion sauce. I'm excited
is the trout from a can
Yessum
I'd be excited too with that. Enjoy
Not eating???
Just drinking
I wish! I've been craving a good home delivery pizza for ages but I got sick of that cycle of; finding a good place, enjoying it for a while, having it go to shit, finding another place etc. I'm glad you've got a good reliable near your place!
We don't get pizza often but last time we tried it from a new place and it was good. The man goes and picks it up so it's a bit cheaper.
leftover rice with beef. the only thing i'm "cooking" is green peas
Noice
guess who is eating the japanese equivalent of twisties instead
Bacon!
is what it eats, and is turning japanese beef and BBQ flavor twisties!!
Lamb and veggie soup. Slap it on the stove and let it simmer into ambrosia.
Mmmm lamb mmmmm
Heh heh, have returned from Bunnings the richer by one cordless whippersnapper, which is charging as we speak. I foresee an afternoon of green destruction in the garden. The compost heap will no doubt thank me, even if the neighbours complain.
THEN IT IS TIME TO CELEBRATE🍻
I will always vote in favour of fucking up kikuyu and couch grass in any context
Yes, now have a Dan's trip planned. Could just go some lemon myrtle vodka rn.
@Thornburywitch @bot001 one of the nice things about battery whippetsnappers are that they are a bit quieter than the nasty 2 stroke ones. Much easier to start, too!
The ryobi one? Be aware they ship them with the expensive reels...but unless you have hugely fat kikuyu runners the cheaper threepack works fine.
Source: have has one for years
Nope, the Ozito. Uses dinky little plastic blades. Fine for what I want it for which is basically trimming around trees and the washing line posts. Also my other power tools are all Ozito, and the batteries are interchangeable within the brand.
Ozito do surprisingly good stuff, got a number of their power tools
Anyone interested in free tickets to a Spanish Love Songs concert at Stay Gold at 1pm today? They're an American band. Probably best known for Self Destruction (as a sensible career choice)
Got all of two hours of sleep last night and I'd have to leave at 10:30am to get there so I'd be miserable, as much as I was looking forward to it.
Ask your friends, tickets going to waste if I don't give them away.
edit: Tickets are gone
Saw your comment yesterday, if I didn't have plans today I would've gone but I'm glad you got them snapped up! Here's to a speedy recovery...
Dins!

gyoza is lyf. I know they're my ones that I made because the pleating is questionable. I don't remember making them though.
Also tonight is babies first adult dinner party. I bought the host flowers with a vase because I can't turn up empty handed.
If you're ever craving a bottle of cold water but you're fresh out.. you can easily substitute one of these and barely notice a difference!
that is the worst dick pic ever posted 🤭
true
Honestly they're fine but just too weak to be offensive. It's like beer themed water.
As a lemon myrtle lover, nothing that claims to have lemon myrtle flavour in it is ever strong enough!
I'd give the lemon myrtle vodka a burl.
me too
Thank you for your sacrifice.
The line out of the local maccas drive thru tonight was extreme as I was walking past. sort of reminded me of locky lockdown days where it was sometimes 150m+ long spilling on to the main road.
I'm not judging peoples dinner choices but waiting 20 / 30mins+ for mac mac is just an insult to the kick arse chicken and chips place literally a few doors up which was empty. It's not even a competition their chips are so good (and generous).
People might say "it's convenient". That line didn't look very convenient.
Yeah nah. 3 cars is the limit for me unless it's Mac happy day.
People are addicted to the sugar and drive more like arseholes to get into that line the closer to a maccas you get.
Hey Botto what a fantastic shindig you put on tonight. Love your work. Night shifts a cunt init? Anyway have a good night. Stay safe and see ya tomorrow.
Well. One New Yorker size capricciosa, one large American and one large cheese pizza. We are gonna be eating pizza for the next 3 days.
Mmm leftovers 🤤
Melbcat has me pinned and I couldn’t reach my cuppa… but with skilful manoeuvring I managed to get hold of the mug handle with my Kmart grabber stick and bring it over without spilling it.
I think there's a level up something for pulling that off.
I was very surprised I didn’t just dump it everywhere.
I stuck the top claw sideways through the handle then twisted my wrist anti-clockwise so the top claw pressed against the inner curve of the handle and the bottom claw pressed against the outside of the mug below it. The weight held it in place. Then I swung it horizontally in a curve to my other hand.
If I’d just grabbed the handle like a hand grip and lifted it upwards the weight would have caused the mug to flop forward and spill
So many art ideas. Attempts are not satisfactory
chews plaster
Last night's spicy chicken roll with extra hot sauce did not take mercy on me this morning. Ooooo.
Anyone got a recommendation for a place that does testing for a possible adult autism diagnosis? Have always felt there was something different about me and struggled to connect with people and make and keep friendships and keen to know if the cause is in fact something like autism.
Haven't done that before. I score high in the Social Relatedness section, relatively low elsewhere. Total 96. I don't consider myself autistic or as having Asperger's, but do believe I'm further towards that side of the spectrum than most.
I’m similar, I got 85, mostly in the social relatedness section. I know I have abysmal social skills, so that’s unsurprising though I actually thought I may be higher on the scale, some questions were iffy as to how to answer.
Similar, I got 89. A lot of my issues were with sensory, which is also part of CFS.
But yeah, always been considered 'different' so the not neurotypical bit is no surprise.
Curiosity gave in and I had a go, apparently I score 176 on the test. That seems really high, but then I often gave answers I wasn't 100% on because I was somewhere in between.
Yeah, that's also where I ran into issues, I'm quite reserved socially but with the right people and the right vibe I can come alive. In my personal life I'm known for my dinner parties and other sort of old fashion gatherings, but those spaces are very curated by me so I'm much more relaxed. Same goes for compassion and all those other complex emotions, I can be uncomfortably devoid of them but then I can also flip a switch and be all over it.
I feel the exact same way. A lot of the questions I do need context. Like, is the party organised by me? Or will it be a family gathering? I like the library, but would it be during school hours and after babies/toddlers have gone or will it be after school or in the morning for story time. Like there are so many different variables.
Exactly! Maybe bring up the map too just in case I've discovered other places.
I know that I score in the "might have autism might not have it" area, but that's because ADHD and autism are cousins (which funnily enough I have ADHD and my cousin has autism) so often a lot of the symptoms will overlap, and also trauma can manifest itself in ways that are similar to both ADHD and autism.
Thanks I did it and scored 159 so i think maybe a proper diagnoses is in order
Janine manjiviona was great. (From a woman with excellent masking techniques who was overlooked by old male psychs)
Have you read Tony Atwood’s book?
instead of cleaning up, showering, having dinner, etc. i just opened a new pack of snacks
help
I can help!
Give me those snacks….
🍪🌽🍬 here take them and run! hide! don’t let the cop find them!
👀
I’ve hidden them in a very secure place….
🚨👮♂️🚓🚨 HALT. Hand those snacks over and you won't be arrested
where would i go if i'm arrested
To a dark place. A place without snacks. Three meals a day only 😈
free food i don't have to prep and no over stimulation? yes please
Did some weeding and a bit of pruning, everything is looking nice and fresh ready to burst out with flowers and growth in spring. Green bin is full and I’m tired, gonna have a coffee and biscuits.
It's such a motivating time of year for gardening, isn't it? It's great having the chance to get outside after the endless cold of winter, and then all the new growth is inspiring.
Listening to the audio book of LOTR again. Am at the scene where they come across Balin's tomb 😭😭😭 in the mines of moria
Every time I read that passage, I just end up bawling.
oooh, which version? I only know the radio play (which I looooove).
The Phil Dragash version. It's free on internet archive.
Ta!
Gimli's reaction kills me everytime 😭
Gandalf fighting the Balrog 😭
😭😭😭
and I just realised Ahsoka is now playing. Fukyeah!
Spoiler alert!!
It's so much fun.
I'm enjoying some of the newer Disney series. Never watched the Clone Wars.. what's the required watching to get up to date?
Shit, I’m lost myself. I feel like you need to watch clone wars if you want to be really informed about it. I don’t really watch cartoons so I’m stepping into all this uninformed
You are on the Saturday DT by the way if that matters to you. It is now Sunday
haha, the weekend is the weekend!
maybe I'll try some YouTube catch up compilation....
Ok all good, may the force be with you.
What are some quotes that live in your head rent-free? Can be from any media: books, TV, movies, comedians, whoever.
I have a few heheh:
"My name is Otto, and I like to get blotto"
"Hello mudda, hello fadda, here I am at Camp Granada"
"Yoo stoopid wooman! I waz teeching 'er CPR!"
"'Ello 'ello? Can yoo 'ear me?"
"Wo ist mein Wasser!?"
Not all of them, just what came to my head. Tell me your brain-squatting quotes lol
Aragorn’s speech
DENTAL PLAN
lisa needs braces
NTTAWWT
Phrasing.
My Precious.
Like the entirety of Priscilla Queen of The Desert and The Birdcage. My mother is very gay and our home video library was a little peculiar, and as a result those two movies are my favourite films of all time and I can quote them word for word.
“I don’t want any damn vegetables”. There’s so many more from Simpsons, that just came to mind right away.
Damir Dokic (Jelena's demented father) I want 2 fish ✌️
Liz Smylie I chew exshtra 🎾
https://youtu.be/lqKFutYKTqI?si=r_IAQILsvfbUjDF-
"This is the War ship Rocinante." Also "Marge! is lisa at camp granada?"
Fukc I love The Expanse; such an awesome show (and books)!
"Sweet Enola Gay son!"
"Listen very carefully, I shall say zis only once.."
"Good news everyone!"
"Birdy num num"
"Dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!"
"Don't skip on the paté"
Oh my GOD I SAY BIRDY NUM NUM ALL THE TIME 😂😂😂 I know where all of those are from! I love you Peeler!! 😍😍😍
It's like a snippet of pop culture comedy isn't it!
"Grow a schmekel"
"What's up, front nuts"
"Your mother was a snowblower!"
I'm drinking three different beers.
German, Japanese and Aussie.
Got the axis and bit of allies in there.
Points for anyone that guesses the brands!!?
The Aussie isn't major label either....
The older you get, the worse the hangovers hit. Was at a networking event last night and my glass was constantly refilled for hours. I had the power to say no but yeah that didn’t happen. Had fun tho. A chill Saturday is on the cards.
I had 8 stubbles last night. No hangover today. If I had 8 glasses of wine that shit would fuck me up for days.
Wine kills me, but I love it so damn much. Why must the most delicious beverages fuck us up so completely? 😭😭😭
That's it. It tastes good, it makes your mouth dry so you keep slugging down like lolly water and then bang its got ya and you start regretting a lot of things. Then in the morning it gives you a kick in the head for good measure.
It was wine, so much wine, and these are all the things I have felt. I think I said no to the final fill up attempt but by then it was too late.
Don't beat yourself up. It happens. My tolerance for wine is like 2 - 3 glasses. I've lived long enough to know that wine and I don't really get along but it took many experiences to work that out.
Doesn’t take much to do me over. 2 glasses of wine back to back and I’m like lights out.
Yeah I’m a light weight. Hehe
Hangovers have always made me feel really like... sluggish and slow. Not so much sleepy, it just feels like being off my ADHD meds.
the salt&pepper cashews and the sweet chilli & sour cream chips from aldi is so good
I have had the salt & pepper cashews and I agree with you.
Would you rather be reincarnated as an apple, or an ant?
Apple. Short and sweet. Then reincarnated into a beloved and spoiled housecat.
Don't apples get to spend 3 years in a woollies warehouse somewhere... how long does an ant live for
Housecats were not a part of this hypothetical, thank you.
Hey. They can be anything they want to be. I choose apple too and come back as a unicorn. 🍏 🦄
NO UNICORNS. APPLES AND ANTS ONLY
🖕 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄 🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄🦄
😂
😂
I'll be a housekitten then, thank you.
🤷♀️
Edit: i answered: i said apple. Then I expanded.
👎
I think apple is the correct choice, well done
I don't need your approval mate
In all the magic reincarnation books by old Tibetan dudes, I've never read anything on apple reincarnation.
They're fixated on being Buddha. Not enough people think about this, and it's important
An ant I think. Lift many times my bodyweight and get into small places.
What about spending your days just chilling and absorbing nutrients in the sun and fresh air? Better than following some chemical trails and being a sex-slave to the queen imo.
What about getting burned and chopped down alive?
What about having your home attacked by an anteater?
I don't think there are that many anteaters around?
Echidnas, numbats. There are many.
they are cute enough it's fine eat me
My luck I'd get pecked by birds, infested with Codling Moth and rejected by supermarket chain lol.
An ant I think? Not sure want to come back as a fruit.
Finally went and watched Barbie, probably an unpopular opinion but I thought it was just kind of good, not great or brilliant, but just good.
I think it served it's purpose well though, another Hollywood movie designed in everyway to become perfect media fodder.
No I think you've probably arrived at the consensus view. A great soundtrack, set design, good funny moments, and a nice message, but more than a few awkward moments and will not be remembered for good writing.
I think what I'll remember it for is the insane marketing and how some dudes were ridiculously upset by it (and countries banning it).
It was only banned for displaying a map that appears you show China's "nine dash line". That's rather contentious at the moment.
You're talking about Vietnam but Lebanon, Kuwait I think UAE and Algeria did too.
Spent three hours making a post bot. Was it worth it? Only if I can get some sleep soon...
It wasn't worth it.
God, I'm watching Critical Role, been trying to catch up in c3 (like they released episode 70 on Friday and I'm at episode 34 now) and episode 33 and 34 made me cry so much. Oh my God. If y'all like DND, voice actors and have 11 days continous at regular speed to spare, then I recommend Critical Role. But it'll make you cry so much.
::: spoiler gif of Travis Willingham rolling a dice while yelling out "Fucking Mercer!" indicating Matthew Mercer who is the DM for Critical Role :::
So where do I start listening? Campaign 1 , then 2 and 3 and then all the extras?
It depends. Campaign 1 is REALLY rough, I think I only got up to episode 11. But C1 is rough because 1) they had a player in the game who isn't there now because of a lot of reasons (health and the way he was interacting with other players in the game and outside the game), and 2) visual and audio quality is bad because it was filmed like almost ten years ago. If you want to know the story of C1 but don't want to watch like 100+ episodes, there is The Legend of Vox Machina, there's currently 2 seasons but it's on Amazon Prime. But it's a pretty honest retelling of the campaign bar that one player and here and there, but the general gist and story beats are largely the same. A lot of people recommend starting C1 at about episode 24 iirc.
Campaign 2 and 3 are great to start from the start. They're currently on C3. Though towards the end of C2 they were affected by Covid, so usually they're rather close together, whereas for the Covid episodes where they could come back and film, they couldn't sit next to each other and most likely had their own little tables so on the screen it looks disjointed imho. But anyways, while C1, 2 and 3 are all set in the same world and some characters from previous campaigns do show up, you can jump in anywhere. Like if you want to watch C3, go for it.
If you want to get into the feel of Critical Role but want something a bit shorter, there's Exandria Unlimited, some of the characters from this goes over into C3. It isn't DM'd by Matthew Mercer, however, Aabria Iyengar is still a FANTASTIC DM. She was great. But yeah. I love Critical Role. Love these nerdy arse voice actors.
Sam's improv bard spells are fucking amazing.
Yeah, I wish I was that skilled when I played a bard.
Start with Campaign 2.
Where did @[email protected] go ?
Do you think someone who is not a hat person can become one? Not just as a personal transformation, but one that their friends can come to know and accept?
Pretty decent and full day overall. l chilled with a US mate on discord early in the morning for a bit of a catch up and shit talk. My other US mate bailed on our online makeup session, so I had one attempt at doing a face, fucked up my mascara and eyeliner and got it off. My skin is so much better from never wearing make-up anyway. The mascara stayed on a bit and aggravated my eyes all day. I was going to get nicely dressed and presented for the trans fete Transgender Victoria held today, but it was so generally casual I'd have looked a little out of place anyway in a full face.
I met a new work colleague there, totally by surprise and that was great. She's just moved here and only speaks Spanish. She's moved here to live safely as a trans woman, just like I did and we share a lot in common with music taste, general positivity toward being trans and feminism. So we spent the day translating to each other, scored some new clothes and it turns out she also is a going to be a volunteer at the same place I am. She made a lot of connections. She ballsed up dinner plans because she confuses days of the week, but we hung out for hours waiting to go to dinner and became friends in the process. It's nice to meet someone who wants new friends because I do too. We'll be working together soon a lot so it was good to get comms happening and I so rarely have visitors it was just nice to have someone in the apartment to drink tea with, play with the cats and talk about clothes. Our boss is really trying to support her as well, so I'm only too happy to do so as well. I haven't felt so calm and secure that I'm on the right path for many years and it's like all my best personal characteristics are being utilised by those who are also really good people.
The Fete was a success, I did some work but it was great that I now know a bunch of people who are all proactively living their best lives as trans or gender diverse people and actively trying to make a lot of us live better and healthier. There's a whole other paragraph about sober living for trans people and the people I've met in recovery who were there but let's just say everyone is super damn wholesome. I got a lot of positive feedback about my contributions and the staff know they can count on me. I've been giving the option to potentially start helping with their advocacy work as well. It feels like the best activism I've ever lent myself to and I'm so glad to have the time to do it properly without deadlines per se or money constraints to limit the amount of time I can spend on it if I feel it's warranted. It's devoid of the anger I associated with a lot of activism I did in the past, often rightly so of course. It's just a different approach, a bit more intelligent than what I'm used to and aimed at higher levels, less grass roots. I have an inkling that maybe activism in general has matured a lot.
Its good to make another journal entry and thanks everyone for being positive here about my constant references to my gender transition, it's really important to have these positive stories because almost all we hear in the media is about the few people who hate us and the response to it.
I’ve spent the last two hours in bed reading. I suppose I should get up
I'm about to do the same, so I say stay in bed and read!
Where’s the podunk diner food and random mega-fauna gahdamn.
Everyone's off having a life, I suppose. It's just a few of us hollering at each other and into the void. Maybe it's a taste of being in a retirement village.
Anyway, since you asked so nicely, here is a very comfortable cat who has quickly cottoned onto the heated mat. Please suppress any urges to poke the precious paw.
Thanks for the kitteh. I was just poking fun at @[email protected] because I look forward to the daily diner life gutbomb photos
It's okay. We can all grow demented together in the hugbox.... 🤓
Cat says prrrrrp and goes back to chillin'.
Has anyone tried neoguri ramyun? My local Aldi has it on special at 8 bucks for a 5 pack. Same manufacturer as shin ramyun black which I really really like.
I've tried one version, can't remember which, but I was underwhelmed. That's a bargain though so can't hurt to give her a burl
It claims to be seafood flavour - might try it with added kippers/herring fillets and see what happens next.
I saw some, not sure if it’s the brand you mentioned but they said in big words Spciy.
I’m scared of spicy versions :(
Said 'mild' on the pack - sounds worth a try to me. My chili tolerance is still way below par so I prefer to add my own if I want spicy.
Didju know ( said in Michael Caine voice ) that taking aspirin on a regular basis causes iron deficiency? 🤬
Long term NSAID use is generally not good for the gut and dietary absorption :( I used to live off nurofen for a while dealing with severe gum pain, a UTI and bad cramps (thankfully not all together. I now realise these were all secondary to significant stress during the first big lockdown). That ended when I got a stomach ulcer that then forced me onto a relatively bland but probiotic diet for a month.
My use was for sciatica. Without aspirin I wouldn't have been able to start the day, once moving the exercise relieved any muscle tension and pain. Now I have lost weight and that seems to have helped a lot so I can stop taking it. But damn no doctor told me of this side effect and it's not on any aspirin packet. I'm on the road to better now. :)
and happy you are better now too 🤗
I have intermittent sciatica & back pain — may I ask what other strategies or medications helped you relieve your symptoms? I exercise and take NSAIDs infrequently. Also tried medical marijuana, which was admittedly fun and def eased anxiety around pain flare-ups but didn't reduce the physical pain noticeably. And yeh trying to avoid opiates for obvious reasons.
hugs
weekly long very warm baths helps keep the pain at bay, sit up in the bath and lean forward if the pain is very bad
losing weight and lots of walking has helped a lot too
hot baths & saunas are a staple! and that's a good reminder, i do need to lose a few pounds.
thanks for sharing x
I taste spicy and insular.

My not so ordinary drink photo contribution. Could be a good mixer for the vodka people out there.
Is it just me or is it kind of cold now?
Had my spinach brain on and put the grass seeds away from sun to germinate a few days ago… Checked last night, apparently they do need light. (Some plants need darkness to sprout but others need light.) That actually works out better as I can just put them straight on the windowsill.
Soy yogurt for breakfast. My stomach hurts lately.

Another Marketplace sale arranged, hopefully it works out. If it goes through I'll have most of the costs for my garden project covered. It would have been all covered if I hadn't had a bit of a spending spree and bought a bit more than planned. Fingers crossed, the bank balance is looking a bit empty at the moment. If I manage to sell everything I have listed for a decent price I might even be able to add in a decent outdoor mirror for the side garden...
