To celebrate I'm going to attack more jasmine. Then dins with the fam (w/ bro / SIL oh no). P's are heading off early to Qld tm morning so just doing Indian takeaway. They have a nice dining room so it seems silly to go out. 5 of us and the local Indian takeaway joint does a good deal for 4 for $99. Bro and SIL are getting half portions.
Thanks! I'm on win 7 so they come up as squares. After pasting the squares into google it comes up as Hippo baby chicken parrot which honestly is a very sweet thing to say.
Happy birthday, hope there's no nastiness with in laws and the weekend erases any yucky things from this week! Make sure you don't get a half portion. And if it's good I wanna know where it's from.
There is something blackly hilarious about how many vegans are insisting they should be able to feed a cat vegan diets if they really really want to. (Blowup in outoftheloop)
There's slews of 'em going 'but supplements and this single study that mostly looked at dogs said it was ok!!'
Like....jesus. They're trying to force an animal to go against its nature to suit their personal preferences and they do not see the hypocrisy. Get a fucking parrot you twonks
My dog loves cucumber. But goes crazy for big meaty bones. Lettuce and celery result in a dog equivalent of a death stare. Iโm sure he would throw them back at me if he could ๐
One of my previous dogs loved vegetables and was a menace in the vegetable garden. She was particularly fond of tomatoes and broccoli/cauliflower - she loved to munch on a sun-warmed broccoli leaf in the afternoons, and would over time eat the whole plant. She also taught my other dog to do the same. Fortunately Mr Woof is much more restrained.
Punkin was an absolute grass whore. It made him barf everywhere and occasionally we ended up with anal beads of poop and grass but god damn that boy was gonna reload and nothing could stop him
Hi! I'm the mod that started this all! I think everyone who uses the phrase "obligate carnivore" is outing themselves as a complete buffoon since it has literally 0 application to whether or not it is possible, which would be obvious if people looked up the definition.
But of course, that would be expecting a lot from people :)
...nah mate. You're literally putting your desires over the animal's needs. It's the same egotistical "animals must serve the desires of man" schtick that veganism arose in rejection of.
Um, we're having TWO Thursdays this week? Does that mean 2 paydays????? Please please let this be true. Or is this a fiendish plot to prevent our Friday overindulgences?
Meant to be another after work drinks put on tonight but I am too knackered for twice in a row. This place is going to turn me into more of alcoholic than I already am
I have done everything to not have to buy disposable vapes, but the run around and scams with the doctors and pharmacies is an absolute joke.
First you have to pay 90ish bucks for a script, which only allows you to use it at the chemist they are linked to. So every doctor has basically started their own little chemist to dispense the products.
And so if they happen to run out of stock, we'll, you need to pay for another script so you can access the product at another pharmacy/store.
Meanwhile, I've seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I've seen in years. And that's not hyperbole.
Everyone is buying disposables, because the system that the government set up is an absolute sham.
So now I'm risking buying stuff from overseas that might get seized at border control, because the disposables are really fucking bad for you. They affect your breathing in a negative way almost instantly.
I've tried the patches, the inhaler, even the medicine. It didn't work for me, because it's really hard to quit something you've been taking for over 20 years on a daily basis.
Meanwhile, Iโve seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than Iโve seen in years. And thatโs not hyperbole
YEP. and people walking through crowds smoking. Or taking it out and having it in your mouth (unlit) waiting for the train doors to open so you can spark up immediately.
Meanwhile, I've seen more cigarette smokers in the last few weeks, than I've seen in years. And that's not hyperbole.
I've also noticed this, as a smoker, that there are waaaaay more people smoking than previously. Young people too, when before it was just older guys usually (and the two old ladies outside the massage and tarot reading joint ๐)
Thankfully my order from the pharmacy came today and I didn't have to resort to disposables.
I honestly can't believe how bad they are for my lungs. Literally 1 puff and my chest feels heavy. Teens would have been better off using refillable devices than the disposables.
Theres shops everywhere selling them. I don't see anyone stopping them.
Long day but much more satisfied today and got a wee bit of walking in... plus my favourite aunt confirmed she WILL be available when I want to go see her after all - so I have something to look forward to at the end of September!! Yay! That's really lifted my mood ๐ฅฐ
The chilling time before rolling out was a bit too long I think, the dough was a bit too hard initially. The embossed roller worked fairly well, but I could probably use some practice to get it a bit more even. I also played around with a bunch of different cutters so have a variety of biscuit shapes and sizes - I'll pick the nicest looking to take to work tomorrow and the rest will be snacks for me.
I'm also taking advantage of the oven being hot to make pizza for dinner.
Operation sort shit is going well. I have been getting rid of stuff and now have empty gaps and nothing that needs to go into them, which as a previously over-cluttered person (aka recovering hoarder) is not something I am used to experiencing. I'm doing lots of labeling today, as well as attaching a bunch of little stick-on drawers to the bottom of some of my shelves to hold smaller bits of stationery and sewing supplies. I really should do an op shop run too, the collection of stuff to go is getting quite large.
I managed to sleep well after feeling like crapola yesterday night, and crucially, got out of bed at 7:30 instead of lolling about... got to work early to sit down and eat a proper breakfast ๐ฝ
Today's wordle was mean, I had to give up and use a solver.
Alright, time to crack on. The sun outside is delightful but bom says more wind tonight... and over the weekend.... meh.
How can a fence builder get it so wrong? Our front fence failed footing and final inspection - the posts are higher than the plan, and the concrete pads donโt go deep enough into the holes. Weโre at a lossโฆ
Primarily treacle, a bag of dates and lots of rice noodles ๐คฃ
I have actually now found enough enthusiasm to start on a batch of shortbread biscuits. The dough is chilling, after a bit of a break I will roll and bake. I bought some embossed rolling pins recently, so hopefully they work ok and the biscuits look nice and fancy.
I've finally made it to a local show and I'm surprised how few people are here. I must still be tapped into the Australian metal scene that I can go to a sore that's a big deal to me and it's still half empty by the end of the second last band
Alas sleep was not had - I was finally drifting off when Zooks hopped up for snuggles and Feed Me, Bitch demands.
I'm doing the zombie shuffle at the moment so I'll just take it easy today and try and get a nap in before tonight's social thing.
I had it in my head that all of the Victorian Carl's Jr location closed immediately a few weeks ago but apparently only a couple of locations closed and Melton remains alive.
Got breakfast from there for one last time because I didn't think I'd get to again. It was meh. It can die now.
The one in Altona North shut its doors the day the news came out about them going into administration but yeah Melton is still open as well as 4 others
How's our no snacks after tea (nsat) gang going? Getting a better sleep? The fucking wind not helping. Give it some time and you should be sleeping better.
I think my bin got a bit hyperactive with all the wind. I put the green waste bin out with only a bag of food scraps in it, this morning it was completely full of weeds. Obviously it was feeling a bit under-utilised and went out to do some weeding.
I do consider bins on the road already fair game (for the correct contents!) but itโs not uncommon for people to post requests for bin space in the local FB group
I was actually thinking when I put it out that it was a bit of a waste putting out a massive bin with just a small bag of chicken bones down the bottom. It's mostly surprising that someone was out filling a bin full of weeds in the middle of the night, expecially considering the weather!
Ours were still up too thankfully (and not yet emptied), but further up the road I saw the garbage truck stopped as the driver was cleaning up a mess. Poor guy is going to have a long day :(
Got woken up by the wind blowing a gale and remembered the cats' fuzzy bed was still on the line, so dashed out to retrieve it.
Just as well as the side door to the garage had blown open.
Back to bed, hopefully to sleep...
Day off work which meant errands and housekeeping.
Didn't sit down to chill until like 2 pm with the new Star Wars Outlaws game....super fun but a tad clunky. Reminds me of the OG Watch dogs in a way.
Overall 8/10 day
-2 points for the old lady at medical clinic that insisted she be the first in line for a blood test. I was there early...took #1 and waited patiently. She was 3rd and was adamant I should give her the first slot.
Sorry sister. No dice.
My test took like 5 minutes tops and the nurse took me in early...so technically the old lady had hers like 5 past 9.
I bought so many albums. Didn't love Ryan's Daughter, by Jarre no less, not his best work. You younguns might know him from Lawrence of Arabia . It's unforgettable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdFwhhH2x7I
And right now I am listening to Western Movie Themes by Starlight Orchestra, Japanese pressing so I cant read any of the notes. track 2 De Guello ( I love this album!! ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AR-KbvXvBd8
Footlong Italian BMT on Italian herbs n cheese. I'll get old english cheddar, toasted please, and all the salads, southwest chipotle sauce, and salt n pepper. No cookies or drinks thanks
I took a photo as I was packing up the puzzle carefully for the opshop. You can see I put it away still made up. There were ten panels like this. The picture was the painting "The Quarrel of Oberon and Titania"
Oh youโd love some of the stuff Iโve worked on. Social disease, self pollution, public convenience, avoidance of harlotry. The turns of phrase are magnificent!
The vast majority of buildings in this particular guide I'm reading seem to have been supplanted. Seems something of a shame but, equally, nothing stops progress.
There's an ice cream/lolly shop here called Cones & Candy and that is the most Melton thing ever. No pretence of it being anything but a blatant euphemism for recreational drugs. The Birdcage (the part of Melton the shop is) knows what it is, and it isn't hiding it.
I went in there a few weeks back while waiting for my fish & chips and realised this is the kind of shit lollies my daughter and her friends like. Quickly backed out.

Operation sort shit is going well. I have been getting rid of stuff and now have empty gaps and nothing that needs to go into them, which as a previously over-cluttered person (aka recovering hoarder) is not something I am used to experiencing. I'm doing lots of labeling today, as well as attaching a bunch of little stick-on drawers to the bottom of some of my shelves to hold smaller bits of stationery and sewing supplies. I really should do an op shop run too, the collection of stuff to go is getting quite large.

RustyRaven@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 1y
I think my bin got a bit hyperactive with all the wind. I put the green waste bin out with only a bag of food scraps in it, this morning it was completely full of weeds. Obviously it was feeling a bit under-utilised and went out to do some weeding.
