Send help i just finished cleaning up from cough-barfing on a cat and she is pissed

she will need cheese and ham treats
Taleya@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It wasn’t so much the barfing but the subsequent bathing, then towelling as well. And i got her back flanks too, which she has some ptsd over being touched.
Oh she got ao much cheese and apologies and deigned to headbutt me in forgiveness.

Oh my goodness! Hide your shoes and break out the Good Treats. (Get well soon)

Old man just informed me yesterday he has a hereditary gene defect related to PCSK9 or Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 which means high cholesterol or sumfink.
I already had my parma and chips lined up…
So rude.
khanzain@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It sounds like a surprising and perhaps inconvenient revelation, especially when you had your meal plans all set! Sometimes life throws unexpected curveballs our way. On the bright side, knowing about a hereditary condition like high cholesterol early on can actually be a blessing in disguise. It gives you the opportunity to take proactive steps to manage your health and potentially prevent future complications. Maybe your next parma and chips can be a celebration of newfound awareness and a commitment to healthier choices!iqratechnology.com/academy/

I don’t know why I fucking say anything on the other site. Fucking incel shit. I hate that the boys who said foul, sexist, racist crap on 4chan have infiltrated every other fucking site. Where did they get their confidence‽ Who raised these animals? Fuck me for even daring to voice my experiences, or the experiences of afabs. I know I should just abandon it at this point. Why do we have to suffer through abuse and die to these foul fuckers? Why do we have to deal with this crap? If, for whatever reason, my partner and I don’t work out, I’m joining that 4b movement. No debate. I’ll go live in the fucking woods with the bears and spiders and lions, whatever. Real fucking sick of boys and men feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to afabs. I wish they would crawl into a fucking hole and die. (I shouldn’t feel the need to say this, but: yes, I know it’s not all men 🙄)

Oh god yes. I never even bother to engage with certain conversations or attitudes anymore, I just stay the fuck away.

It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
Did he notice? Absolutely not.
Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.
Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.
My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I can relate to this.
Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Those grabber sticks are great. I also want a table that swings over the bed
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Oh yeah and I’ve been looking for thing you can use to art in bed for bad days, it’s a mixed bag and I don’t like the options I’ve tried but I found this
dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.
khanzain@lemmy.ca 5 months ago
It’s commendable that you took the initiative to tidy up despite feeling frustrated about the situation. Sometimes being a good neighbor means going the extra mile, even when it’s inconvenient. Your actions likely helped prevent any further mess and ensured that the neighborhood stayed clean. As for the timing with the rubbish truck, it’s understandable to feel a bit awkward waiting outside, but your efforts to assist likely didn’t go unnoticed. Perhaps next time, your neighbor will be more mindful of their surroundings, but until then, your willingness to lend a hand speaks volumes about your character. iqratechnology.com/academy/

Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didn’t get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Not good. Do you have cctv? Might still be worth reporting. The photo (?) sounds like might be casing the joint for robbery of tools/generator/copper piping etc. Which is a thing that’s increasing.
dumblederp@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Are you friendly with neighbours with security cameras?
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Got them on my camera but just didn’t get the plate (they were trying to stay out of range methinks). Will realign a camera.
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Unfortunately even if you did get a plate, the cops can’t do much anyways. Unless he was in your driveway or otherwise on your property, it’s not illegal to drive down a dead end street. And although creepy, it’s not illegal to take photos of people on private property if you’re doing so from public property unless they have “a reasonable expectation of privacy”, or people’s houses
Mittens_meow@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I get that but the fact that they took off when they saw me - that’s dodgy af. Fortunately my big dog was barking from the house, hopefully a deterrent if it’s casing for a break in.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Early night tonight.
Good sleep everyone . 😘
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
bed rest for a sore back is on order 😿 just preventive
love you all 😘
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 months ago
The best thing to heal is… time unfortunately.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I’m still super tired and need to be up early tomorrow to leave early for an appointment and then dinner with a friend… But I promised I’d bring a plate and I know she’s far more tired and cash strapped than me, so I’m summoning all my energy to have a go at this vegan shepherds pie recipe now - to be finished off in the oven at hers tomorrow. It’s got rehydrated shiitake, squeezed out jackfruit and coffee (?!). I really wanna see how it turns out, haven’t made shepherd’s pie in years.
Well, leftover pizza has been had - time to soak and chop and sweat. I can do this!!
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I made some Greens packet cheesecake for the kids and whilst I wasn’t expecting much, they managed to limbo under my low expectations.
I guess I’ve never had a cheesecake as fluffy, stiff, and bland as these before to have perspective.
It’s not a hard ‘don’t recommend’, more a ‘don’t bother’. Make cheesecake at home the proper way or buy a good one

Monk series last 3 episodes.
Very nice series ender, nice endings for every character, nothing surprising, it all seemed like natural conclusions to stories in the series. Like a short story, you see how the series was just a section of their lives, there was a before and there is an after.
I think the series was about love, grief and friendship.
I do wonder how eccentric special Monk’s skills were. Can every viewer figure it out?

god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Those are like an appetizer before the family bucket for me.
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Ha I was also about to say that sounds like a pre-lunch snack
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I could eat maybe 3 nugs and some chips at most, just too icky for me
ajsadauskas@aus.social 5 months ago
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak Totally.
Honestly, I feel icky just thinking about KFC food, it's just so greasy.
Unless you have a specific craving for the greasiest thing imaginable because you're pregnant/emotionally eating/have cramps/have a hangover/are really drunk/are six-years-old, I don't know why anyone would want it?
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
5 degrees?? Feels like 3.1?!?
WTF!
Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Sunny afternoon coming up though. Will warm up.
Baku@aussie.zone 5 months ago
18 isn’t my idea of warm, but yeah
just_kitten@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Unbelievably, I made the shepherd’s pie! The texture didn’t really come out how I thought it would, though I think that’s because maybe I used this brand of tinned jackfruit that I honestly never should use again, too much of the tough core and not enough flesh.
However, the umami/flavour is out of this world. Lots of it would be from the tomato paste, dried mushrooms and soy sauce, but I think the coffee definitely added a certain something to it too… must try again with some tweaks.
Maybe I’ll make a spag bol sauce on the weekend with the remaining tomato paste and tvp mince, and see if the coffee trick works again 🤔 ☕ 😋
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I am so intrigued. I made a cottage pie this week with some chicken and mushrooms as the base and then the usual vegies like carrots and peas and celery. Mashed taters on top of course. I used a vegie stock cube for some gravy.
It’s a great hot meal for a cold night. I have mine with melted butter on top of the taters. 🤤😋😋

After a few fallthroughs Melbcat finally got to the vet for her Solensia yesterday - she’s having more noticeable side effects this time though.
Last night she pulled a chunk of fur out of her back and was stalking around lashing her tail all wriggly like a snake. Today she’s been very sooky and smoochy, initiating and allowing a long session of brushing when normally she gets overstimulated after a few brushstrokes and walks away. (This time I sat to brush my own hair and she rubbed her cheek on my brush until I gave her a very long groom.) There’s some squinting like there’s pain or she doesn’t feel good. She’s also thrown up a bit and not finishing all of her food.
Nausea, loss of appetite and skin irritation are on the list of side effects so that’s pretty normal. Getting a bit freaked out at Reddit comments claiming that it killed their cat but am just going to keep an eye on her.
I’ve had my flu shot today so we can cuddle and be wretched together.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Brushing is so good for cats, all those feel good hormones will help her feel better. so many hugs
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
It was amazing, a cat that never lets me brush her was smooching the brush and laid like a tired complacent little potato while I went over her shoulders, head and entire back. I’m hoping she comes good soon.
StudChud@aussie.zone 5 months ago
I hope she feels better soon! Sweet baby loves you 💜
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Thanks. She’s cuddled up now

Preeeeeety sure the mrs car needs a new clutch. Pretty sure it needed a new one when we brought it, but SOMEONE (who shall remain nameless) living out his little Evo-driver-fuckboi fantasies in it cant be helping. She’s gonna make me pay for this.

Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a man, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!
Eagle@aussie.zone 5 months ago
Now that’s what I want to see first thing in the morning! Hello sweetheart! Tell mum to give you gentle kisses on your furry little head from me please. I hope your day brings you a sunny spot to bake and turn your fur into satin.
