what do you feed it? wife and I have a maggie who has taken to chilling in one of our trees. We want to encourage her without making her at all dependent, and certainly dont want to give her anything she shouldn't have.
Apparently good quality cat food is OK in small quantities. Also rolled oats ditto. Natural diet is insects, baby birds and seeds. Some pet shops have mealworms which they really like. My maggies like hard boiled egg (!!) and small bits of cheese and rolled oats. Mince and bacon is far too fatty and is about the worst possible apparently.
Feed this one mealworms and cheese w/ some calcium carbonate mixed in. Doesn't seem to be dependent even though it's fed small bits pretty often. When you don't feed it, it just jumps back on the lawn and does its thing w/ no hard feelings lol.
You are doing enough. This is your trip, you do as much as you want, as much as you can. Whatever you are doing: It is enough for you and that's all that matters.
Sure sounds like your doing a lot to me! You don't have infinite energy/social energy. I always have quite a lot of quiet time on my trips cos that's just how I'm built
There's nothing worse than running around from place to place trying to see everything, that ain't a holiday. I've done that style before and all it achieves is getting home feeling exhausted. You see what you see, you do what you do, going with the flow holidays are the best. If you miss seeing certain things, all the more reason to go back.
You can either take a relaxing holiday where you have time to think and really see and enjoy things
or be like me and rush around like a mad woman seeing at least 2 museums or historic sites a day. Then when home I have to lie in bed looking at the ceiling for a week because I fried my brain.
I've mostly gone veggo over the last few years. Ate meat over xmas as I was having multiple dinners with people and didn't want to put anyone out. Buddhist monks have a version where they'll accept meals with meat if offered but not get it for themselves.
This is the way. I salute you for doing the right thing.
I am so damned tired of catering 'special' meals for the born again whatevers. Keto or vegan or fat free or whatever. It really sucks when trying to cater for a group of people and you don't know if they do or do not have non-allergenic lines in the sand.
I'm more than willing to cater for allergy restrictions - lactose, gluten, nuts etc if I know about them in advance, but the rabid 'I'm a special little petal because I'm .......................' mob really piss me off.
Us humans are omnivores. Preferences are fine if you're catering for yourself, but taking the moral high ground over the presence or absence of meat and/or carbs and/or fodmaps just makes me see bright bright scarlet and reach for the baseball bat. With hobnails in it. And this applies double if someone rocks up unexpected like and then proceeds to criticise the menu because their personal preferences aren't allowed to override everyone else's preferences.
We have friends who have dietary restrictions and we always accommodate. I actually enjoy learning new dishes etc.
Our vegan friend brought their friend once (also vegan), so we prepped a few vegan dishes. Our friend never complains and always appreciates what we do. Their friend refused to eat because they could not be certain it was 100% vegan and if cookware was cleaned to their standards.
I may have been rude and told her that the grass outside is completely vegan.
I have a theory that extreme dietary restrictions (not the allergy sort which is a quite other ballgame) functions as a sorting mechanism to reduce the stress of making choices. Given that we have so many choices of foodstuffs available to us, that some folks experience some form of stress is not all that surprising. I do think that this is one of the more obnoxious methods of doing so though. There's a power dynamic operating here too.
I am reminded of the folk who chalk climate change action messages on the completely separated bike path near me. Not on the road where the car drivers might see it, but on the bike path where most bike riders are already on board with climate change action. Doing the chalking probably makes them feel good, but it's not exactly targeting the real problem.
I think some people just want to make something their complete identity and to feel morally superior. I get that people get passionate about some things, but being condescending towards others is not the way to win allies.
I did a veggo stint years ago to test it out for myself (and some health reasons). Went over to a relatives for a bbq and only ate salad, rice and other sides. Didn't complain, just went about my day.
The host noticed and made a massive thing out of it (there were like 20 people, so he wasn't cooking just for us) and kept pestering my why I'm going vegetarian. I was replying politely that it's a personal choice etc....he kept pushing, so finally I said I'm only vegetarian at his place, cause he cant grill for shit.
Yeah that side of the family has zero manners and consideration for others. There's also the whole thing of the older generation always being right. I don't play that shit, and happy to confront them.
Safe to say we don't get invited often, but we're not missing out.
My apologies. I think I've met too many people who definitely were using a no-fodmap diet to basically Karen everyone in sight. I mean, how does one tell the difference between the genuine and the fake? Volume of rhetoric is not a good guide.
It’s all good! Just letting you know there are some people who are legit. You will absolutely know who’s for real because the effects are quite obvious and painful. They may also let you know in advance, bring their own meal, avoid eating or if bad enough avoid gatherings that involve food.
Edit: You have no idea if they’re just stating it ofc but the tone and behaviour around it and how they handle the situation would probably tell you. Just be careful though with giving allergens anyway because even a Karen could still be legit and then you’re dealing with anaphylaxis, diabetic coma, an asthma attack or a code brown
Honestly that's a great approach. I never refuse a meal, even though I can some mild reactions to some foods (nothing bad, just the winds and runs the next day).
If someone goes through the effort of preparing and sharing food with me, I won't refuse.
Brains are weird things. If that is what feels right to you for this point in time, so be it. You know it won't bring Kitty back, but an urge to give something up/cut your hair/wear certain colours/whatever is perfectly valid. 🖤
You're not a fuckwit. You're a very caring human. Here's the thing, you can't just stop eating meat or you're gonna feel like shit. You gotta do it gradually. Get to know what your body needs and when it needs it. Going veggo means supplementing meat for other high protein foods especially if you are working out. There is nothing wrong with eating a small amount of meat at the start of your journey. Basically give yourself time to adjust.
I am having a lovely morning. Slept in, finished my latest Kdrama while still in bed, had a shower and didn't get dressed for an hour, had salty eggs on toast. Gym lined up for this afternoon when Boyo's up for it, then it'll likely be a crafty/puzzling sort of evening!
Omg. Just realised YL got her her ears pieced. 2 in each ear. Pretty big deal for me cos Arabs get their daughters done at 6 months and I was like no fucking way I'm doing that to her considering I cried everytime she had injections. Wow. Spinning out.
Had a bit of an awkward moment yesterday when I was helping someone with their computer. I realised the most recent document in their downloads was a position description and I also saw their resume pretty high up in the list.
If I can get a more private moment with her soon I'll let her know it's alright and her secret is safe with me
I had a dream last night that I had come back from holidays and left my cpap machine behind and I was wandering all around town on a public holiday trying to buy a new one and being too scared to sleep.
The clouds are floating along the horizon, just above the CBD, lit up by light pollution and travelling quite quickly, like some sort of weird cloud migration. I wonder where they will end up.
I was watching them earlier out east and they were definitely in a hurry. They were heading with me back to Ballarat and then continued on, I think there might be a cloud convention in Adelaide this weekend they are all heading to.
And I've figured out why those work pants I got were so cheap. The front pockets are kind of like jeans pockets where they're on the inside and they're really tight, and the one side pocket they have is only attached halfway down, the bottom half just flaps around freely.
These things would be annoying for someone on a job site that's actually using the pockets on their trousers constantly, but it's fine for me just in an office all day. The only annoying thing is that leg pocket can flap around when pedalling on the bike.
I'm back home from a day in Melbourne. Travelling down the freeway in the dark always plays havoc with my perception of speed. Something about hurtling along into pitch blackness ahead can give me a feeling that I'm not moving and it's everything else coming towards me. I had the added challenge of wind pushing the van around to make for a tiring drive.
When I got home I found the pump in the water tank was cycling on and off constantly. I think I've found the cause, a minor leak in the tap timer, but having to go outside in the wind was not fun. I consoled myself with some apricot sorbet, and am now having cuddles with Miss Meow, Mr Woof and his collection of favourite toys on the couch.
The coast seemed clear for now so I nipped out to water what plants haven’t died, and saw the black cat come strolling out of a corner where he’d been napping.
Offered him my fingertip for a smoochy rub and patted his head. He seems to be quite comfortable hanging around here and after I went back in to soothe Melbcat he came to the screen door as if he hoped to come inside.
I’m worrying a bit about neglect but I’m really not in a position to adopt a second cat ;-;

Fuck me that's a relief.
Ol' girl and boy left some snail poison (metaldehyde) out, blew over shit fell out and the resident magpie had a go at it apparently. I was livid.
Hadn't seen it for 2 days, but it just rocked up looking pretty worse for wear still kicking though and eating. Poor thing took a hit but seems okay.
Been feeding this thing for 20+ years and would be devastated if that's how it went out.
Phew (for now I hope).

I know this sounds very fuckwit adjacent, but I decided to go veggo after what happened the other day with the cat.
I don't know why exactly tbh. I went to buy the usual chicken breast the other night from the supey, and I had a mild existential crisis.
I'm sort of annoyed, because I feel like absolute shit physically, but it's like a mental block.
It is what it is for the moment I guess.

You could get some thread and sew the bottom on the pocket so it doesn't flap about and make it usable
