Watch out World! There's a P plater on the prowl! Seriously, congrats to YL, its a big step. And I'm sure you've done your bit in helping her to adult behind the wheel.
Maybe we should send him $97-60 for an Uber home - via text message from a site in com.ru
Got one of these a while back purporting to be from my son to pay for taxi home. Given that he was in San Francisco at the time I should have leapt at the opportunity - cheapest fare home from there I've ever heard of.
Mickey is getting his annual vaccination tomorrow, before he can stay at the cattery when I'm in Perth.
Ugh. Every time I travel to Perth, I always say I don't want to stay for a long time because I hate leaving Mickey and I'm a homebody. So why did I agree to three, almost four, weeks 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
As a homebody and recent survivor of a Perth family pilgrimage, you will be tired but it won't be as bad as you think - heck you'll probably even have fun! Mickey will have enough time to make friends and get comfortable, he'll he fine.
Well that was an interesting drive. Had to navigate a set of failed traffic lights, two separate wheelie bins that had blown onto the road, and a small fallen branch. It’s windy out there, take care.
I'm switching back to my old Huawei from my Pixel because I don't want to buy a new phone just yet. The Huawei feels so much nicer and it still works fine, I only got a new phone because the usb port was getting temperamental but I've cleaned it and it's working again now.
The Huawei actually connects to the Guest Wifi at work so that's a big bonus already. Using my phone here was a headache because it's a mobile blackspot and my phone would just stop pulling data on the wifi.
Everyone stopped selling Huawei because they knew they'd be too powerful if they were allowed to continue in the west. At this point I'd gladly degooglefy my life for another one.
It doesn't work with the wifi network at work and some of the ones at home. USB port is going to shit, they chose to not connect video out to the USB port, battery hasn't been great, updates make it worse, slow on some applications (like it gets so hot and slow on balatro but this phone has been fine), and I need to get a new phone now because of the massive camera bump. It must have been my keys that smashed the glass when I fell off my bike
Awful tragedy in Porpunkah. How do people become so far gone into nutter idiotic beliefs. Hope they catch him soon. Must be frightening to be in Porpunkah tonight.
I reckon the guy will go bush, and won't be found for weeks. And it's a toss up if he will be even more mentally disturbed when he is found or will have calmed down a bit. Searching for him on foot or horseback with or without dogs is bloody dangerous if he's armed and apparently he is. And the local people/cops know this and will be keeping a very beady eye on isolated sheds and eatable livestock in distant paddocks. Never underestimate the bushcraft of nutters like this one cos they are sometimes quite impressively skilled in survival stuff. If it was me, I'd consider calling in a helicopter/drone and using thermal imaging to find him. Then the hard part would become actually catching him without getting shot.
“So, what I’ve gotten out of this is that we’re selling an unknown product to unknown customers for unknown pricing and we have no idea when or how it’s arriving?”
“Well, yes… but the vests have been ordered for the sales team.”
yay, the painting of the bedroom suite is done. Five pieces of furniture , scrubbed clean, sanded , repaired, then four coats of paint. The chair has been reupholstered, the drawer handles repainted a silver gold colour and all the drawers painted inside and lined with contact.
I love his book Collapse - How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed. Really really thought provoking. Wasn't so impressed with Upheaval, but still interesting.

But a vest on it's own is never going to do anything. It needs to be paired with the power of a custom pen and a printed stress ball.

It is interesting so far. 👍The author uses 7 countries as examples on how individuals, societies and countries cope in extreme situations.

Mickey's vaccination went well, uneventful. I got some dental treats for him as well, as his teeth are a bit yellow.
He's also 5.95kg, and NOT overweight or fat. The vet looked at him and was like "he's just massive for a DSH" 😂
