Hmmm. Took the dog to visit a friend. He peed on the inside coffee table then bit both of us when we went to shoo him off. Worst behaviour ever since I've owned him. I'm ordering a muzzle. It was his 13 birthday yesterday so maybe these are his teen years.
edit: Small-world-ey tho, my friend who got bit is Steve00's partner.
it's not as bad as it looks, there are actually few weeds, they are just big, and the soil is sandy so it's easy to pull them
I'm going to make two big garden beds surrounded by paths , I'll make the paths by laying down cardboard then putting wood pavers on top of that . Then build up the beds a little. The pots will remain around the edges.
I can't do lawn as I can't get a lawn mower in there, so garden it is, and it will nice to have vegies too.
That should come up nicely. I'd probably use wood chip mulch instead of actual pavers for the paths, then you can just keep adding more over time as they break down to refresh it. I'd also be a bit worried about pavers getting slippery.
I think it is much better not to have a lawn for most purposes, it is a lot of upkeep for an area most people don't actually use. Garden beds with ground covers or native grasses generally look great, are less maintenance and if done right provide great habitat for birds and small animals.
I've decided to pull the trigger and get a wireless numpad. I got this 75% keyboard and whilst it has been great, I like having the numbers in a tidy square too much.
I think a detached numpad is the way to go because they stick out the side of your keyboard and you don't need them until you really need them. Wireless lets you put it away when not in use and you can put it on either side of the keyboard as well. As a lefty I've wished for a left side numpad for a long time.
I think I'll get the 8bitdo one as it has a screen and can work as an independent calculator as well. Great for not needing to add a calculator window to your screens on top of everything else.
My DiDi driver is playing a very strange chant-type song in a different language, something I might hear in a yoga class, and I think it’s just the same song on repeat. This is not the Friday night party starter I wanted, instead I’m getting put to sleep.
It’s a good sign if your resume is getting viewed a lot in an hour? I’m paranoid that because my probation was terminated that I’d be blacklisted somehow.
I think it's good but whether anything comes of it is a separate issue. And unless people from your old place talk to others there's no way for anyone to know. It's almost surprising what you can still get away with in the working world by either just omitting things or having someone to back you up.
I had an autopilot failure on the way home. Went straight when I normally turn and suddenly realised I was at an intersection I'd never seen before. My sense of direction was still good though as I turned the right way, but it was a bit disorienting.
You may have seen an incident that blew up on reddit about the person who put their pet rat in the fridge and the butter in the cage and then had to fight to extricate the rat who had discovered the ham.
that was me. Autopilot and exhaustion are a helluva combination.
I got home from graveyard shift, had Onion (rat) roaming merrily on counter while making toast. Eat toast. Put things away. Take rat back to cage. Realise i was putting tub of margerine in rat cage. Panic, bolt back into kitchen, tear open fridge full of apologies.
Onion had discovered the deli ham and clung to sides of fridge when I tried to remove her
You got me with rat on the counter. Nope Nope Nope Nope.
I was once at a friend's house when her cat was licking the butter. Friend said "naughty baby" and put the lid back on and put it back in the fridge. I never ate there again.
Onion the Rat! Love it! At least you realised before you'd tucked yourself into bed for a nap.
And she was having her best day because who wouldn't want to be trapped in a smorgasbord.
My ex brother-in-law applied what he thought was roll on deodorant and was mystified and freaked out about 10 minutes later when his armpit hair began to fall out
Boyo once applied toothpaste to this face instead of sunscreen. It was all over his face and beard before he noticed. I absolutely howled laughing and took a picture (with permission).
I was moving house (couch surfing really) so much at one stage in my life that I got on the wrong tram and only realised when I got off at my old stop and went, "oh yeah, I moved out of there" 😆
Now His Lordship has a whole widget and playlist just of "New Episodes" because more than one entry in "continue watching for poonhandler mcgee" was apparently doing his head in.
We have a pc permanently slaved to the tv, and since the ADHD diagnosis His Lordship is being a lot more open about his hardships. Finding files on the fileserver? Headfuck. So i built a netflix-like kodi interface and he's taken to it like a duck to water. I keep refining it to make life easier for him.
The user profile name is currently "Poonhandler McGee", i need to put a new one in. Shaggins Fartwaffle? Purseslapper Jones? Peter Gangbiscuit?
Kind of but not. I did like...a lot of fucking around as it likes things in A Certain Naming Convention that runs completely counter to how i like things and its my fucking fileserver and i will not bow to the machine.
Definitely broke a few laws of god and man getting it working, but my husband, he is pleasured.
I think I get what you mean, it sounds cool and you're a sweetheart to do it for him 😊
( I personally hate the apple tv app with every fibre of my being, husband likes it because it's easy to set up but of course that means complicated to use )
I'm the reverse, I will make great effort to make things easy to use. Fewest iterations is my goal.

My cat recently passed away and I have a number of left over medications that I will throw out.
But before I do, I thought I'd see if they can be of use to any of the cat lovers we have on here.
4 x 100mg Gabapentin tabs.
11 x 0.1ml Vetergesic in syringes for oral application.
50 x 5mg WP Carbimazole: medicine for treating hyperthyroidism.
1 x Profender Allwormer for 2.5 - 5kg cats.
6 x 4mg Zofran Ondansetron wafers to treat severe nausea and vomiting.
1mg syringe of Mirtazapine - for appetite stimulation.
1 bottle of Otoflush.
Pick up in Melbourne CBD.
@mods, take down if this isn't allowed, totally understand.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 329d
I’m so sorry for your loss.
Your vet may take them to give to owners that can’t afford the meds otherwise, I know our vet does this.
Otherwise consider donating it to the Lort Smith. The carbimazole especially will be coveted.
