  • TIL some people in the UK keep little hedgehog houses in their gardens so hibernating hedgehogs have somewhere safe to sleep.

  • One thing I don't love about Vegas is that my poor pink squishy lungs have become more sensitive to cigarette smoke over the years due to people not being able to smoke everywhere anymore, but in Vegas tobacco is caked into the place and people can smoke on casino floors.

    I don't miss the morning headache which comes with being around that horrible shit. Cigarette smokers can get in the bin.

  • What a beautiful sunny day, Bill Cat is out on the terrace soaking up the rays an I'll go for a walk later. 🤗😊 I tried to get the cat tax but as soon as I come near Bill gets up for a cuddle.

    Also, MIL an BIL are coming over for dinner, I've got all my mushroom clothes on. 🍄🤭

  • Urrrgh. Another broken night's sleep as Zooks came in at about 3 and started snuggling hard with bonus headbutts.
    Got the idea about an hour or so of it to turn the heater on and got to sleep until about 8, when she decided it was time for her morning snuggle and 'feed me removed' nip.
    Remind me to leave the heater on low tonight if it's gonna be this cold again.

  • I saw the saddest thing ever at an opshop .One half of a best friends necklace 🥺

  • Yoooo driving the Western at night from out near the 'rat really hits different.

    It feels like being in a space time warp with the winding bits, fast speeds and lack of identifying features for the most part due to it being pitch black.

    Dinner was very ordinary, for someone's birthday. Good company, but very mediocre unimaginative pub fare, at the usual inflated prices ($28 for some reheated frozen crumbed calamari, bland chips and premade basic arse salad) Around 6pm a more sweary group of families started rocking up, rattails and all, I'm wondering why anyone would come here for dinner when it's so expensive... Then when I go up to pay I notice behind the counter/bar, a cave of pokies machines and some plastered punters just mindlessly pressing buttons and knobs. I don't care if it comes across as classist, fuck pokies subsidising mediocrity (among other things). I normally make it a point to avoid ever patronising a place with pokies, I didn't know that about this place but I'll definitely avoid it if it ever gets suggested again

  • I have visited the 24h dispensary and have night night gummies for sleepy time. We need to get Dan onto this.. friggin nerds keeping us from yummy ni nighs squishies.

    Also when you legalise it, you get genius products like this:

    • Vegas dispensaries are the best. Have sampled Vancouver, Amsterdam and Barcelona but I think Vegas is the top tier now

      • I'm actually down south about an hour and a half from Vegas in a little town called Laughlin for the next few days. The reviews for the dispensary were glowing though and I can see why. Very nice.

    • Everytime I talk to mates back in Canada, they politely remind me that weed is legal and easily available.

      I mean, I'm high now, but still....wish I could just go and get some at the local

  • EOI letter written and sent! It was mostly bland and vague, but I'm not super invested in the position anyway, it would only provide me with a mark that says I can manage a larger group than I already am.

  • Went for a walk and got my anti-baby meds, so I can get rawdogged without fear of also getting preggo (no offence to the parents here, but my uterus shall remain devoid and barren tyvm lol).

    The sunshine is much needed, as is the blue skies and hearing a busker sing Wicked Game. Today is a damn fine day!

    Edit: a downvote? Heheheheheh 😉

  • Continuing with the ugh, my legs are sore. 13k walked yesterday. I aimed to get to ten but I pace around the flat a lot. Washing / some sorting of old papers and some hours on the bed/couch thing watching star trek with the cats and maybe a little walk to the beach, cos the weather is so perfect. It's sunscreen weather now folks. But I realise now I have probably thrown out my bb cream. Shit.

  • I think my skin is too thin
    \ I worry I don't fit in
    \ Despite not being entirely sure what that means
    \ I know I'm more than I seem, I dream
    \ I scream, I'm not sure who I am
    \ But I like the way I look
    \ In the mirror, still I'm shook
    \ Connections are difficult
    \ Constant fear of ridicule
    \ Which never manifests
    \ I'm the best, this is a test
    \ They're my friends too, they like me
    \ They're open with their admiration of me
    \ But still, I worry I'm not good enough
    \ To be around people I love and trust
    \ I must be more than the sum of my past.

  • UGH

    PLANS

    UGH UGH 🤮

    Edit: spontaneous plans are so attractive, yet I am cockblocked by premade plans blah!

    Edit edit: should I save nsfw posts till after 10pm? So I dont offend the downvoter? Or is posting about my horniness off limits entirely?

    (I must say this is half a shitpost, real answers welcome but not required lol)

  • Exercises have been completed. It's amazing how guilty I feel if I haven't done them, I feel like I'm not doing that good thing for myself that makes up for the years of self neglect.

    Took the Minipeelers to Barkly Square today and wandered around that part of Brunswick, which I love. Went to Juanita Peaches/All Day Donuts (yum) and Schnitz (Minipeelers choice). The children were fascinated by the protest being held near Dangerfield to promote the "yes" vote (they haven't seen many protests) so we had a chat about that, and it was interesting to hear their views.

    We went to Kmart and the Elder Minipeeler cringed at the designs on the boys clothes ("sk8r vibes 🤙" and such) while the Miniest Peeler cringed at the designs on the girls clothes ("summer love" and "bestie 🩷" for example). She said the girls clothing section looked like unicorn poop 😂 We did grab some stuff like a basketball to muck around at the park.

    It was just such a lovely day for wandering around, and I really enjoyed it!

  • Hurry up and download the menu
    \ You're a bistro serving Italiano

    \ Serve me an espresso
    \ To have after my Patate Arrosto
    \ Thank you.

  • Went for a bike ride today....bit of an uphill challenge at certain points. Got home and my legs are absolutely cooked.

    Finished the ride at about 4 pm and the legs have gotten worse and more on fire

  • If someone asked, is the industry you work in one that you'd recommend they could start their career in?

    • Worked in several different industries. The answer would be absolutely on most of them.

    • Public servant, absolutely a good starting place, however largerly due to the application process it's riddled with nepotism and a lot of "not what you know, but who you know".

    • I'm a legal support worker. It's a tough question. I think there are many better options but you can find some great jobs in this field.

    • Arborist - yes, but expect to get absolutely flogged for the first few years. You'll not need to do any sort of fitness/health stuff in your own time, work will take care of that. Learn to climb early, get in school early so you can be ready for the next step when your body gives out. Learn about ecology, learn about climate change. Learn about tree risk assessments, get a good spiel for convincing people that tree risk is incredibly low. Plant trees.

    • Depends what they were seeking to do with the rest of their career. I like my gourmet food manufacturing gig. It pays the bills, it's a great team and the work takes up its alloted time only. If you were looking to gain the kind of experience which would put you in a good place to start your own business, or go work for a much bigger manufacturer that offers more in terms of promotions etc, then it's potentially useful. It wasn't my purpose though; I just wanted a job that didn't take too much time away from my family, was local to where I live and was in an industry I care about. It had the advantage of being lockdown and recession proof, and a reliable source of work.

  • Honest movie appraisal:

    The Last Voyage of the Demeter: Nice vibe

    The Boogeyman: I'd argue very good classic jump scare

    Meg 2: the trench: wtf did I just watch. Very bad but bad enough to be good very confusing. No jump scare.

    • I've seen the trailer for Meg 2, the amount of wood, boats, jetskis etc. that these sharks seem to eat would break the immersion for me. Like wtf, they're big but come on. They can't digest jet skis

  • I found the missing jigsaw puzzle pieces!! They were in my oodie pocket, they must have fallen in there last night. Puzzle is already broken up and packed away. 🥺🙄🥴

    • I had a very interesting dinner with narcissistic MIL. No I did not wear my mushroom gear. First, I refused to let her eat from my plate. She was angry and tried to shame me, implying I'm selfish. Truly, I just don't want her germs, plus, it's my dinner.

      Then back at home she got angrier and angrier when me and BIL were playing records, having fun and laughing. ( we were in in the other room )

      BIL ask her if she has a problem getting her netflix cut off. We told him we have been paying her tv subscriptions for years and there shouldn't be a problem. BIL was surprised cos MIL tells every one we don't look after her. MIL didn't even say thank you about the bills.

      She likes it when I sit alone and she gets to talk to the rest of the family but I wasn't. She ended just sitting there angry then left for home.

  • My heart swells at the thought of your touch
    \ Pumping hard causing a headrush
    \ My words turn to mush
    \ I jumble all of my lines
    \ I don't care I'm fine
    \ I just want to feel your lips on mine.
