Girlfriend's wrist operation today. She developed a cyst in her left wrist that's been painful for her over a year ago now. We've finally gotten to the stage where they'll do actual surgery and remove it. Let's hope this will be the end of it and she'll be better once she heals

Inspired by Force, what's your perfect burrito? I'm a fan of spicy chicken, rice, pico de gallo, sour cream, cheese and avocado. If I'm having a big feels day, some con queso to dip it into. There is to be absolutely no beans near my burrito, please and thank you.

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 36d (2 replies)

I haven't had many burritos in my life but if I had to choose it would be a breakfast burrito.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d (1 reply)

Solid choice!! Bacon or chorizo?

CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

Both together.

useless_modern_god@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 36d (1 reply)

Carne asada, guac, and pico de gallo. Thatโ€™s it.

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 36d

Simple and delicious!!

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 36d (3 replies)

I don't really know enough about burritos to comment, a vegetarian one. I recently made TVP chilli which was awesome.

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

You can get those Edgel tins of blackbeans with lime or salsa. One of those with a tub of 40 second rice gets you most of the way there. I'd also make a mix subbing refried beans for beef mince and I actually prefer it. Jackfruit is great too mixed with all the flavours for a burrito mix

Hmmmm. A little but not too much rice and beans, plenty of guac and some sour cream, ONIONS, andddddd pulled pork with a very spicy salsa/sauce. That boy is going to be big and juicy and delicious

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

Spicy rice on the side is a great choice!

Tomorrow I'm going to get an ultrasound to see if there is something wrong with my thyroid.

Truth is, I am somewhat afraid.

And so it goes.

Thyroids are temperamental bastards! Mine crashed in pregnancy 13 years ago and hasn't worked properly since. I've been stable on thyroxine for the most part, but when I was too low I developed a nodule, which i was convinced was cancer. It wasn't, and a dose increase reduced the nodule again. The ultrasound can be a bit uncomfortable with rhe pressure but I'm sure yours will be good.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 36d (1 reply)

Thank you for sharing, that makes this whole thing less frightening โค๏ธ

Eagle@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

Its all good mate. Thyroid dysfunction is very very common nowdays.

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 36d (1 reply)

Thyroid is pretty good as far as health issue go. It's superficial so no deep surgery if it goes that way. If it's just a bit funky you can take Thyroxine? (T3/T4 hormone IIRC) which is cheap on the PBS. Finally better to know than not so you can deal with it appropriately.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 36d

You're right, it is better to know. Thanks man โค๏ธ

TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 36d

I had to get one of those when I got my cancer diagnosis. They were looking for nodules on the parathyroid glands. A bit uncomfortable, but not terrifying. The tech who did the test was really good at explaining.

tombruzzo@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 36d

Let's hope it's nothing major

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 1 pts · 36d

you'll be ok , thyroid problems are not that difficult to diagnose and treat

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 37d

I was literally just thinking that. Hope she's OK.

SaneMartigan@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

Nah. I sent them a few directs the last month and got nothing back. Last reply I got they were taking a break to work with their grief about their cats passing. We may never know, I hope they're well.

Shit I hope Hongonoes? and Baku are doing okay too while we're mentioning it.

What would be the title of your memoir? Mine would be "Well, That Didn't Go According To Plan (But It Still Worked Out)"

Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 37d (1 reply)

"I won"

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 4 pts · 37d

I cannot LOVE this more!

Thornburywitch@aussie.zone · 5 pts · 37d (1 reply)

I think mine would be 'Plan? What plan?". The follow up self-help book would be "The Untapped Power of Impulse Motivated Action".

SpinMeAround@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 37d

That is an excellent power to wield!

Mm, salsa! This has brought up the mental image of just a bathtub full of nachos.

Seagoon_@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 37d

I don't know. Depends who wrote it and what goes in.

it won't be called "My Struggle"

maybe "Saddam and my part in his downfall " ( to riff of spike milligan )

or My Life in Movies ...lol

If my nails survive tomorrow, I will paint them something bright, glittery and cheerful. But I'm also thinking of cutting them in anticipation of tomorrow (lots of lifting and wrestling things at work tomorrow) and it turns out I'm like Catfish and don't love painting my nails when they're short.

... I'll keep them in hopes of bright!!

StudChud@aussie.zone · 2 pts · 36d

That makes sense! If you do paint them I'd love to seee
