Ooooooooh
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 8 months ago
This is becoming like a maths quiz. If Catfish has 4 dinosaurs, Seagoon is given 2 dinosaurs and Duenen steals one dinosaur, how many dinosaurs does Catfish have? Answer: either 1 or 2 dinosaurs, depending on which dinosaur was stolen. This may lead to lots of arguments on Facebook.

2 stegosauruses please

With pleasure.

What a fucking night. I haven’t been out in at least 6 months. Here’s to building a social life!

If anyone wants a spiritually market, just hit up the St Andrews market any Saturday. People are selling rocks, hippie clothes and all that stuff.
My dumb ass wanted cheap fruit and vegetables
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That’s where those types go to make money lol! My mum used to do tarot card readings at Caribbean Markets near Rowville she’d make heaps of cash from old ladies 😂
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I wonder if tarot card tastings are be done over the internet?
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I think if both parties believe in what they’re doing then it’s not a scam. You could see it as your mum was working as an entertainer and the old women were getting their money’s worth
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Ashamedly, I’m sort of hippie-curious.
tombruzzo@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I posted about it partially for you. You can make a morning trip up to St Andrews instead of editing for one of the big markets.
And between St Andrews and Hurstbridge you’d be able to get into the hippie scene pretty quickly and decide if it’s for you

I like the idea but rarely the people.

Had a lovely night out last night with a new group - great group, we all want to get together again.
Also, after a little throw up last night, I think after eating some of Zooki’s leftovers, Sammi not only got up for breakfast scarfed down a saucer of food and sampled a little more. She’s been off her food since the ultrasound so a huge relief…Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m really glad to hear that 🙂
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Slept in, went out and got an almond lemon tart biscuit and a brownie, and a mocha and cappuccino from The Good Baker.
People everywhere on Sydney Road, in all the shops and on the footpaths. It’s so nice to see everyone looking happy and having conversations.
I just want to tell them all they look so beautiful.

I get so stressed out seeing my family. I love my dad and them, but I feel like such a failure.
My cousin just got her cert in childhood education, and I dunno. I feel left behind, alone. A black sheep, where my cousins are successful and I’m still floundering away trying to get anywhere.
I suppose it’s easier for Dad to be proud of them, when they have done things to be proud of.
I know these are my own insecurities, and I’d never project onto anyone. But it’s hard seeing my own success when I don’t feel I’ve gotten anywhere at all, or done anything notable. I guess it would be nice if they reached out at all, but they only do when something is going on, and even then I’ve been forgotten lol
Ehh I’m overthinking. Whatever.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Can I disagree.
You have done the very hard work on being a better and healthy person. If you’re the only one in your family who has done this it’s not uncommon to feel a bit out of place. You think and feel and believe differently now.
And education is life long. Once you get into your stride you’ll excel at everything and outshine them all.
So many hugs.
can I relate about my own sibs. They are all better off financially than me. While I was fighting the demons they accepted them and some even became demons themselves. They had the energy to do the socially easy things.
underwatermagpies@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m proud of you. If that helps. You’re making big changes to get where you want to be.
And even if you weren’t, you are worthy and valuable just for being you.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
ikr, spud is amazing 🙂
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I understand that feeling. Very, very well.
The only person you can compare yourself to, is who you were yesterday.
I hope that helps 🙂
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
But did they also have other people getting hooks in them to drag them down, and have to spend time rebuilding?
Not everyone gets an equal chance
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Did Father’s Day shopping plus birthday shopping as Mr P’s bday is in a few weeks, and I thought I may as well get it out of the way whilst all the manly gifty goods were on display for the purchasing at a discount price lol.
A friend of a friend of ours has a Staffy which has just had pups and we are being offered our choice. 😃🤔😃🤔😃🤔😃🤔 are my thoughts at the moment. I love them; I’ve always found them loving, staunch, and funny, such clowns. And I’d love for the kids to finally have a dog. And the breeder’s lovely. BUT… The side fence needs replacing and the neighbours insist they can’t afford to pay their share, so we’ve been nailing bits together and making do with star pickets for years. They’ve got a very exy breed of dog they’ve had for a few years (think several grand) so I’m surprised they’re not more motivated to do the fence, but blood from a stone I guess. A Staffy would eat the fence for brekkie. Plus they do need very strong, solid and consistent training right from the very beginning. Plus all the costs involved, on a single income 😬 I feel very sad inside, because I always thought that if you can’t afford to prioritise the costs of pet ownership for an animal that relies on you for it’s existence then you shouldn’t do it. If I’m not being a hypocrite then I know my answer. It’s not fair for the dog or us if we’re just scraping by. But it hurts. It’s not the first time I’ve been offered a pup; last time it was a Jack Russell, a breed I love even more (I’ve owned 3). That one really hurt to say no to, and Mr P was shitty at me for days, but I just can’t. I can’t if I can’t afford to be the kind of owner the dog deserves. And it hurts 😔
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
" It’s not fair for the dog or us if we’re just scraping by. But it hurts. "
Yes it hurts, but this is responsible pet ownership in action. You have nothing to reproach yourself if you decline their offer. The fence situation is a deal breaker too imo. And when it comes to strong, solid and consistent training - do you think anyone other than yourself can supply that? And there are so many other calls on your time and effort. What would happen if you or one of the minipeelers got sick? You’re doing the right thing - both for your family and for the dog. There will come a time in the future when the stars all align and its the right time to get a pup. Just not now.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I hope so. Thanks for the backup.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
A Staffy is a major undertaking. It’s big and strong and you don’t want to neglect training. And they eat a lot and are expensive.
Best for you all and for the dog.
Hugs.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
You’re doing the right thing.
Is Mr. P going to be equally enforcing the consistent training, doing the walks and cleaning the poo, and paying for the costs? Responsibility for a pet tends to fall mostly on mum and all of the effort, cleaning and replacing chewed items also goes up with a baby animal.
Hopefully there’s a better situation in future and you get to wholeheartedly say yes to a puppy.

Post gig pizza. A place near home is open until 2am so might as well

Laurent closes in 20 mins… do I go… no, I’ll make it a Sunday morning treat. So that it gets me out of the house. Just not feeling it today.
Vacuumed the house after like 3 weeks (gross ,I know) and that’s about all I want to do for the day. I did the most urgent thing and that’s good enough. zzzzz
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Grackle@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m about the same. To be fair I need a new vacuum. I went to buy one today but was overwhelmed by all the stick vac choices so I went home empty handed 🫠
just_kitten@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s okay, you had some crucial retaining wall business to get done…
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
To market, to market, to buy a fat pig. Only not a pig just some liquid nails and barkeepers friend. Someone put a lovely 19th century copper wash ewer out on the nature strip. Just needs the base re-attached more securely and a bit of polishing. Holds about an ordinary bucketful so will come in very useful as well as beautiful.
And the pouring handle is a lion’s head, and there are gorgeous reinforcing bits at the sides with lion’s heads on them.Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 8 months ago
ooh I like that.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago

I am now working on the metal ferrules of the cabinet legs. They were so rusty. Work on the big chairs continues.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
TIL the word ferrules!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
when you are old you know lots of words
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
3 different sand papers used to remove rust and some rust preventer applied, will repeat the process tomorrow so it’s done as well as I can. One leg is banged up tho.
Then finish cleaning the glass and the rest of the wood , I think it was stored in a garage and the soot and oil is hard to remove. I’ve unpacked the glass shelves and cleaning them up too.
I’ve started sorting my shell collection ready to put on display. Big shells on the bottom and smaller up high. If there is room I’ll put some mineral specimens in too.
And for the chairs, so many pieces of velvet and tapestry have been measured and cut ready to be made into matching scatter cushions. 🙂

Pretty chuffed with my sat morn brunch of leftover rice, leftover steamed broccoli stir fried with eggs, jarred ginger/garlic, and “olive vegetable” paste. Haven’t cooked in quite a while with the craziness/exhaustion of the last two weeks. There is something satisfying and grounding about making and eating your own meals, I should do some meal prep this weekend while I’ve got a bit of breathing space.
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Sounds amazing.
There’s something about cooking sometimes that when it comes out nicely it makes you proud.
I hate cleaning up after the lost though n
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
At 2 pm today I put a batch of pea & ham soup into the slow cooker. It’s just finished now. Note to self: next time remember to use high setting not low.
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Bet it’s delicious either way!
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I do a good p&h even if I do say so myself. Just yesterday took so loooooong and I didn’t realise at the time.

Is it really laundry day if you aren’t butt naked for few hours?
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Speak for yourself!

Before the children came along, that was a summer laundry day for me.

melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Bleh. My hair hit my waist or past it and I really couldn’t be bothered with the hairdresser so while it was still wet from washing I just cut like 4-5 inches off to lose some length and neatened it up.
I’ve tried a more straight cut this time. I don’t have a second mirror to check whether it’s even but I’ve been keeping it clipped up a lot anyway.
I just don’t care anymore. I’m tired and literally just trying to survive.

Went for a sneaky run in work hours yesterday, which means I don’t feel that guilty about not going this morning - so currently enjoying a coffee. Full month off due to being clumsy… Feels good to be back out there.
