On the phone in bed.
6kg worth of cat jumped a 2m gap onto the most sensitive part of me.
Cats.
Cat launches off boobs frequently and gives zero fucks.
Sammiâs going to think her name is âGet. Off. My. TIT!â at this rate.
I once received a clawed paw somewhere there shouldnât be one and Iâm still annoyed by it months later b
Ouch :( are you feeling ok?
They definitely know what theyâre doing.
My departed WhiteBoy used to ask for breakfast by very carefully inserting a single claw into your nostril. Nothing accidental about it.
Itâs also our asshole alpha female that steals the other twoâs food and turns OFF my laptop while Iâve stepped out for 30 seconds to grab a snack or use the toilet.
@Cendana @Seagoon_ Wifey has a habit of eating in bed, and then just leaving the bowl on the bed head instead of taking it back into the kitchen.
(I've given up asking at this point â she never listens.)
Anyway.
One night a few weeks ago, after I'd already done the dishes, she decided to eat a bowl of ice cream in bed. And, as usual, left the bowl on the bed head.
Sometime around 3am, I'm awakened by a noise.
Bump! Splat! Scream!
I switch on the light.
There's poor wifey with a bowl on her side of the bed, covered in the melted ice cream at the bottom of the bowl.
Mr Snowy was laying down on the spot on the bed head where the bowl had been moment earlier.
I just looked at her for a moment and deadpanned: "I did say to put the bowls back in the kitchen when you're done with them."
Well hereâs an ANZAC story from my fam.
WW2 my gramps went to tubruk as a doctor. Aus captured a bunch of Italians late jan '41. The Aus docs and Italian docs that they had captured apparently really hit it off, let them out of captivity for a bit, drank / smoked together and shared advice on battlefield medicine.
Gramps was very quiet about his experience but to my old man he did say a few stories (which to me are only second hand).
He never marched in the parade, never watched it apparently. The blinds would come down when us kids asked about it.
So I think today means something different to everyone.
I always reflect on my grandparents stories.
Grandmaâs barn (Europe) was hit by an errant shell back in 1941 a few minutes before she went to milk the cows. Livestock died, she survived cause her parents were giving her a taking to for sneaking off with a guyâŚmy grandpa
Same grandpa was captured by the germans twice in a span of 4 weeks, and managed to escape both times.
Neither ever elaborated on the stories and we never pressed them.
Bored, so I decided to have a look at my old Reddit comments. Hard to believe itâs almost been a year since rexxit.
It also made me remember how damn negative Reddit is. So many of my comments are either at 0, negative, or have a little controversial icon next to them. And the ones that arenât (outside of the DT at least) are mostly just upvoted because I was being a dick to people who were getting downvoted.
Maybe I was just aligning myself with bad crowds, but that feels like it was a common theme on Reddit, I noticed it almost everywhere. Also their new web UI is disgusting and clunky and I donât understand how anybody is able to use it
The place reeks of negativity. Even when I go there to browse these days, I feel myself getting sucked into the void of shittiness.
choose nicer subs
I am in illegallysmolcats, lotrmemes and some hobby subs
I slept like a log last night, from having finally released so much stress. Now I can start tackling other parts of my lifeâŚ
Wouldnât life be so much easier if I could just hire a bloke on Fiverr to fix it?
Someone just help me coordinate all these decisions and also please serve me breakfast in bed so I feel like I have enough energy to go plant out the seedlings I bought 10 days ago
You can, itâs called a personal assistant, it just takes more money than a fiver
Someone asked for stock tips in one of my Facebook groups. My suggestion of Knorrs chicken stock concentrate is currently the most popular answer. I am very proud.
Iâm going to be controversial and suggest massel chicken stock cubes
@Seagoon_ @RustyRaven I'll second that vote for Massel.
Better yet, it's plant based, which makes it good for adding flavour to any vegetarian or vegan dishes you have to cook.
Thirded. I like the lower salt ones. Not as keen on the âbeefâ
Atleast itâs real chicken. Sorry guys, Massel should be renamed Claytonâs. Iâm an Oxo gal all the way. I like flavour.
Iâm an absolute wanker and splurge on San Elk vegetable stock powder. Look, I donât use stock powder that much, but when I do, I want it to be goddamn delicious
yes to knorrs
Tomorrow is a sickie I reckon. Fuck that its obvious
@Force_majeure123 @Seagoon_ That's a nasty cough you got there, Force majeure. Sounds to me like a severe case of fakenitis. You don't want that spreading across your workplace. Time to see Dr Howlong to get the day off, I say...
Well Iâm actually legitimately sick now so you can most definitely borrow my sickness to take an extra day off.
Yay. Beer oâclock starts early đ
Apologies for giving you Covid
Whoâs gonna help me turn the wheels of progress?
Iâve arrived in Mulwala. Staying at the golf club resort and got myself a balcony. Howâs the serenity?
I donât know whether you mentioned precisely which day this weekend is your birthday, so Iâll get this in now: Happy Birthday, Bull!
Thanks, itâs tomorrow :)
Still riding high from venturing into the city yesterday. Canât wait to move closer to civilisation. Soon. Very soon.
@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ How far out are you at the moment?
Can I just say my sinuses have really cleared up in a tropical climate.
I often find at night Iâm particular in Melbourne I do suffer nasal congestion. Itâs like the tissues themselves in my nose swell. And Iâve done all sorts of things to keep on top of it which to be fair helps but itâs not bullet proof.
I regularly change bedding. I regularly thoroughly vacuum. My floors are not carpet. I donât have pets. My pillows are relatively new. Iâve tried shutting the window at night.
And given this problem has gone away in a tropical climate I can only deduce Iâm constantly surrounded by pollen and dust in Melbourne.
@wscholermann @Seagoon_ my sinuses cleared up when I stopped living in Melbourne most of the time - I still visit very regularly, but I live rurally and the difference has been dramatic. Not tropical, far from it - but I'm originally from Perth, and I developed a few different health issues when I moved to Melbourne. I think it's unfortunately got pretty poor air quality generally compared to many other places in Australia.
@kudra @wscholermann @Seagoon_ Same here.
Every time I return to Melbourne, I get hayfever within the first week.
It clears right up when I'm away.
I think it's just the weather and the pollen in the air?
There should be a campaign to change Victoriaâs number plate slogan to something along the lines of âallergy capitalâ
But⌠but⌠the HUMIDITY?
Yes itâs unfortunate that it comes with an unbearable climate.
Perhaps the universe is telling you to move to a tropical island?
Hmm Iâd still prefer a drier climate. Maybe Perth or Adelaide.
Iâm feeling really good for an unknown reason and my first thought was âshit whatâs wrongâ lol
Day 5 of the 4L chilli ferment and all is well! Moved it to the back bathroom shower incase it explodes but so far lots of little bubbles when you shake it a little which is great (means I didnât fuck up the salt / water ratio which is a relief).
Spilt some brine on my hand and hoo boy⌠brutal.
Donât know if anyoneâs a superhero fan but a new trailer came out a couple of days ago for Deadpool
I have to say that the trailer was pretty awesome and the expected use of a song from my childhood was a really big surprise.
Hereâs the link for anyone who hasnât seen it.
Iâm on media blackout for this film. No teasers, no trailers. They show too much in them and Iâm already going to see it so Iâll wait and be surprised.
Iâve been keeping an ear out for if they put out anything which is a promo without footage from the film though.
Me too, only Iâm like this for every film. I much prefer going into a cinema unspoiled.
I just learned this week that the trailer for Captain America civil war trailer had Spiderman in it. I canât imagine how annoyed Iâd have been if I were denied that as I watched the movie.
I think I might break my no big screen run for this
Coming together.
Letâs fuckinâ go.
Letâs fucking go.
I forgot to bring my noise cancelling headphones to work and now I have to listen to noises. âšď¸
while we slept, five horse in london ran away, throwing off four horsemen. one of the white horses turned red from bleeding.
the big ben stopped before chiming the wrong time an hour later
The end is neigh đ´
I thought it was 4 horses to signal the apocalypse.
You have to add Pollution to the canonical four. Or possibly E Musk esq.
extrapocalypse
Kaos, according to Pratchett.
Something exciting with helicopters hereâŚ
Oh dear âŚ
The Young Seagoons have been living in NZ for a while now and have been telling me stories of their visits to Hobbiton. Itâs so adorable and awesome. đ¤đ§ââď¸đ§đđ§ââď¸đ§
Football game on Anzac Day really seems disrespectful to me. War is really sad and distressing, and canât comprehend football being enjoyed on such a somber sad day.
If youâve ponder this question today: Is it possible to make cappuccinos using a plunger and an Aldiâs milk frother then Iâm here to say I think so yes. The 2nd attempt is getting closer. Whoa. I MAY NEED TO LEAVE IT FOR ANOTHER DAY. WHOA.
I canât believe Iâm saying this. Iâm running out of tealight candles.
i desire salt & vinegar chips
Been using the back room as a (metaphorical) crap catcher while Operation Sort Shit has been going on; itâs taken me the better part of two hours to clear and clean the floor. Oops.
Now having a breather before I clear and clean the rest.
so Iâm showing my age but I went to the black box gig at the forum last night and im still riding high! riding on time, one might say
Yay: car! public holiday! picked up some goodies today with ease thanks to both of these factors
Eh: insurance is a bitch to sort through.
Nay: my friend who drove me down to the sellerâs place last night tested positive for covid this morning đ havenât tested myself yet but after an OK start to the day, definitely feeling poorly this afternoon, so Iâm fairly certain Iâve got somethingâŚ
Yay in the end: the goodies I picked up today were premade meals, I have enough to last me til Monday. Was gonna put most of it in the freezer but now Iâm just grateful I have ready made delicious and healthy food to get me through the next two days so I can rest up.
Finally the cleaning job is done and Iâm tired.
Need to fix a few more things, had someone who came to help me today, grateful but missed most of the footy :(
Right. Morning work complete.
Iâve seen the same few minutes of several Dawn Services this morning. Youâd be amazed how much more people like your friendly neighbourhood trumpet player on Anzac Day đş
Pretty moon out tonight, if you need something to howl at.
Just finished watching Baby Reindeer. Thereâs no spoilers below but just in case:
This show is heavy. Each episode leaves you thinking why is he letting this happen to himself. But doing things you know are bad for yourself, day after day, maybe for years, is something that happens to people. And then the shame of the self destruction is intense, so itâs rare for people to talk about. I have never seen it depicted with such rawness. Baby reindeer nails it. ___
It took a while, but the cat has finally discovered that cheese is Good For Cats. Little bugger tried to pinch my smoked cheddar (and gave it a good lick). Luckily heâs much prettier than he is smart, itâs not hard to outwit him.
How is it that Iâm obsessed with art but canât buckle down and practice.
I made a casserole recently and it was pretty good⌠none left for the freezer kind of good. So I was going to make another and bought stuff for that. Miniest wanted me to experiment with a chicken and broccoli casserole, so I bought stuff for that too. With today and tomorrow off Iâd have plenty of time, I reasoned. Came home yesterday to a freezer which contained a goatâs leg, a whole skinned rabbit and some duck breasts. Mr P was so proud, youâd think he hunted them himself (a friend of his has dropped it round). No room for casserole đŹ. Also not a fan of duck or rabbit. Donât know a thing about goat. If anyone has any tried and true family ways of cooking a whole goatâs leg I will need to hear them please!

I am finally taking advice from here and getting out of my relationship.
The boyfriend is doing exams. I didnât initiate anything for a few days. Heard nothing from him. Couldnât even fit in a five second text message in his day or a five minute phone call. Itâs like the relationship didnât exist. He knows how much consistency means to me as I have told him countless times. I understand being busy but totally disappearing off of the face of the Earth and me getting worried is not fun. I thought I was being unreasonable but I have needs and wasnât asking for a lot? My birthday is soon and watch him not even send me a message then as well.
I call him out and explain how I feel (over text but still - he lives kinda far). He replies saying he doesnât have time to deal with me and wants to put the relationship on hold for two weeks until he can see me again in person. Also that if I messaged him, it could only be bare minimum stuff and light-hearted. Great way to make your partner feel like they canât talk to you, particularly when theyâre constantly anxious! So I am detaching and treating this like a breakup, and then when I see him in two weeks, it will officially be over.

Exams are serious and itâs not as easy as taking five seconds.
he has to stop what he is doing , change his thinking, then try to pick up where he left off
I suggest you set a time, the same time, everyday or every second day , so he can plan around it.
also, waiting for calls to come all day because itâs random sucks, it creates worry
set a time so you can stop worrying
big hugs

To me Iâd have to say I really wouldnât like that.
I wouldnât like that either.
