Lemmit is your family now 🎂

I’m so sorry you had a crap time. Sending birthday wishes and all the happiness for you. Can you do something special to treat yourself and help cancel it out?

E: cancel the family experience I mean, not your birthday

Do it! You don't need toxic in your life. Happy birthday anyway. I hope next year's is better for you. ♥

That's rough. Also sending you bday wishes.

An internet sugar offering not-hug thing

Buy yourself a cake and b'day present. That's what I used to do.

Made you a little something

Happy birthday Taleya -hugs-

Night

Was it LOVE with a ❤️ for maximum boomer points?

Could at least have said, "My parents went to Noosa and all I got was this lousy t-shirt"

Love you too 😘

I've seen worse in geelong (sorry geelong people).

the third cow from the left has two pairs of back legs

AI art?

Has to be. Things in the background look blobby and weird too

Adobe generative fill is really calling out the editors who don't pick up these mistakes 😂

Bwahaha!! Do supermarkets still do the 6 legged chicken deal?

I took the other chair down to the terrace to be sanded and painted . Sorry.

I watered my garden, so also bear some responsibility

Um, which crime? This has me fascinated.

Oooooh

Yay! 🙂

Well done!

I'm waiting for hot cross buns to come back - I'm an absolute goblin fiend about the chocolate ones 🤤

c'est chic

Up to no good

Here you go!

yup, I have a jumper on but technically it's still winter so it's to be expected

Yeah, I’m doing the ‘do I paint the fence/not paint the fence?’

35/50. Not bad.

40/50 today. I is smort.

30/50. Eh

30/50 which surprised me greatly, I got all the first ones wrong

30/50

25/50 for me.

Better than average when it comes to me.

25/50. Tough one

My daughter one day "Daddy, why have we slowed down?". And here's my poor husband sweating bullets and pedalling as hard as he could while crossing the western highway on an overpass.

Bananas ought be illegal. Satay salami sounds curious…

banana and nutella

All of them together

I vote for cheese and banana.

Cheese, salami and onion.

I think I've just decided my lunch plans. Maybe I should go all in and add tomato too?

I love banana in a toastie but I go with cinnamon rather than peanut butter (not a big fan).

Peanut butter and salami.

Is this cheese train carved like the cover of the WW kids birthday cake book? Have seen wedding ‘cakes’ that were a huge cheese stack. Yes, the bride was Dutch.

😍🧀🤤

Brilliant! Especially your ooh-ah ee-ah ooh-ah part 😆

Genius!

Get a stainless steel one, i've had one of those fuckers for 15 years and i have not been kind to it

If you change your mind. Been using it over a decade. No issues.

the high seas might be the place to go

You can do it! You are doing it! You are smart! You are articulate! You are awesome! 💜💜💜

One step at a time.

I've found that there are few tasks or things in life that can't be broken down into small easier steps. Just get good at each step.

You have so got this. 👍

School reunions - yeah, removing skin with a rusty lid of a tin can would be preferable.

I always thought the machines would do the labour, and the people would make the art. Yet here we are.

So many apparently. If it’s something important it’s probably best to get a copy from a known author with a date prior to the AI boom, or proper citations.

This is doing so much damage to information literacy and being able to verify claims

Edit: It’s screwing up translations and instruction booklets too

No snack here.

Cup of Coffee here

Yummm!

Peanut butter and cheese on toast here.

Oh ok. I’ve just put it on. Thanks!

Fuck off, Halloween first!

Clearly just big fans of the Nightmare Before Christmas. That way it's still Halloween themed.

You’re probably good within a year as long as they didn’t cost like 10 bucks or something.

Warranty length is usually on a slip of paper with the headphones.

Also you have the Australian consumer law to rely on as a backup that can not be overruled.

I found this but idk if it's applicable

The warranty usually comes down to the manufacturer, so you might be able to check on their website.

I had some sennheiser headphones die just within the warranty period, swapped them out for Momentums, and they're still going strong today

Yep. Like Goonsey said it is normal but that doesn't mean it's nice. My brain dredges up all sorts of stuff when I sleep. Over the years I have kinda learned to deal with it and even appreciate it a bit - It's my brain processing all the stuff and filing it where it needs to go.

One thing I find really helpful is to just lay there for a bit when I wake up, with my eyes closed think about what I am feeling inside (is there somewhere hurting? Stressed?) and to think back on what I dreamt. Kinda say thanks brain for processing and remind myself it was a dream and I am safe now. And to then think about where I am in details - what do the sheets feel like, what can I hear, that sort of thing. Just breathe in that in between space and basically put down the night stuff so I can go into the day clean. Or at worst, cut myself some slack because it was a rough night.

Everyone has their own thing - just sharing my little process in case it helps.

sounds a bit like some stress from all the recent events you've endured

all perfectly normal, you'll be fine, just talk to your counsellor

so many hugs 🫂🫂🫂

Everything Mexican please.

Yummy bacon butty please. And coffee (decaf cos late).

Calorie free shortbread biscuits and a cup of black tea please.
