Man she was pissed when I dared wake her up so I could have some space on the bed. The nerve of me.

Mrs’s cat came over and went “I want a pat… wait, your not mrs B! Wait… is she around? Can she see us? hmmm, ok, you may pat me but ONLY if you dont tell her I am cheating”. Her cat and I have a very complicated relationship.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
The thing I love the most about cats, and maybe Gibson in particular, is the sheer fucking audacity and attitude for a ball of fluff that is literally 1/20th my size.
Zero fucks given. “I do what I want, when I want and too fucking bad if you don’t like it”.
I respect the confidence lol

So I think we solved the mystery of the rabbit: a tiny hole has been discovered by Miniest on the fence line. Last night Mr P heard someone next door calling something before the rabbit disappeared again. The neighbours must have gotten a rabbit at some point and put/built a hutch on the other side of the fence, perhaps using the fence as a wall of the hutch 🤔🤦🏼♀️ After a couple of visits this morning (it wasn’t happy Mr P had rearranged things in his man cave) Mr P said he’s going to block the hole. I’ll pop a note in their letterbox telling them what’s happened and suggesting that they reinforce their side of the fence where the hutch is.

Had a mate whos neighbors had a rabbit they just couldnt contain. The thing was like Houdini. No matter how hard they tried it would always escape. A different neighbors kid apparently went to their parents as were like “mummy mummy, there is a loaf of bread in the front yard! now a bird is attacking it!” It survived that one. It sadly didnt survive the neighbour with a greyhound. The greyhound owners were super apologetic, the rabbit owners were upset but said “we tried so hard, but we knew this day was gonna come, unless we kept it chained up this was gonna happen”.

We briefly owned a rabbit when I was younger. The next door neighbour packed all her stuff up and moved to Perth and couldn’t be bothered bringing most of her animals. She had a rabbit, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She took the dogs and left the rest. Mum assumed the RSPCA would probably put them all down (they were all getting old), so we ended up with most of them.
The rabbit was absolutely dark magic. It got out twice, and we ended up building a little rabbit-run for it with chicken wire and wood. But we didn’t do a good enough job, and it snuck out the corner. Everytime it ran away, it ended up in the yard of some kids down the road. Eventually mum decided it was too difficult and asked their parents, and then the rabbit became the kids problem!
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 8 months ago
That’s what worried me too… one of the neighbours has a hunting breed of dog, bunny would’ve been toast if it’d gone to that yard instead, and there are heaps of tall trees with ravens and magpies.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I had a pet rabbit once upon a time. He lived inside with me and my partner.
His name was Totoro and he had floppy ears.
Miss that little dude.

Poor Magic Bunzorr(ette) :(
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
The question is block the hole before or after the rabbit hides under the couch.

I actually forgot there was a public holiday this week. What a nice surprise
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 months ago
A Friday too!!!
Best day of the week to have off.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Interview went well! Hopefully hear if I’m onto the next stage tomorrow. Will also include a practical test, but let’s see what happens! Thanks for the good vibes, peeps!!

Do people honestly breeze through life living safe and carefree. I just can’t. Way too many bad things have happened to live on such a delulu state.
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
No. Or rather, not all the time. I’ve had some baaad shit when I was younger which was largely of my own making, but have come now to a safe haven. Which I will defend with my life. I intend to live long enough to be a nuisance to my younger relatives. It will be good for their souls if they have any such thing. This should not be difficult I think.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I was in Footscray a while back and my husband said “we’ll cross here” and I said “no we won’t” and we kept walking. He understood I saw something he didn’t. So if you’re talking about personal safety yeah some people walk through life unfazed and for some of us (most women) have our eyes and ears open at all times whilst outside.
Catfish@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’ve been in Foots for eight years now. Totally seen some drug shit, but the unsafest I’ve ever felt had nothing to do with any of that. Boyo on the other hand has had repeated and frequent mugging attempts and is totally fed up. They really shouldn’t try that, he hits fight mode at explosive speed and does not play nice.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It depends what you choose to focus on.
If I let what I’ve experienced be my focus I would dig a hole and lay down in it.
From my perspective, I do my best to never let any of the negative stuff I’ve experienced stop me from living the life I want.
I fail often. But I never give up. We may not be able to change the things that make our lives harder, but we can still live our lives on our own terms.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
even people who live a financially secure life can have bad things happen. Illness, accident, bereavement, interactions with bad people, victims of crime, natural disaster could happen, war
Like Pilk said, the middle path is best. It can be a struggle tho to remember that bad times are usually short lived,
But more than that …
I’ve read whole books on this, philosophy and psychiatry books. People who live best are those who have stable healthy relationships with friends and family . This helps them cope with adversity and brings extra joy in good times.
Pilk@aussie.zone 8 months ago
You come across as a naturally pessimistic/depressive person. There is absolutely a middle ground between that and delusional optimism.

Per Buddhism, Sickness, ageing and death are universal sufferings, everyone experiences them. The First Noble Truth is that All life is suffering. There’s no escaping it. Sure some people have what appear to be easier lives, but everyone is suffering. The theory is that we get to choose how affected by that suffering we are.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I sure don’t.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 8 months ago
It’s true that some people have an easier path. It starts right at birth, eg born to good family, no serious health issues, no disabilities, born into a safe neighbourhood, opportunities at a good school, etc. Or unlucky to get all the opposites. And then stuff happens in life, a lot of which we can’t control. The good and bad stuff is not evenly distributed. Some people get lots of good, some lots of bad, most of us get some of each. All you can do is make the best of the cards you’re dealt. That’s it. It’s normal to be more cautious and pessimistic if you’ve had a lot of bad stuff happen. The trick is to find ways to move forward, and say to yourself each day is a new day.

There’s nothing like having a nice relaxing bath with… an audience and running commentary. I provided the entertainment now they need to make me a cuppa tea.
Duenan@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Audience and running commentary?
What we’re you doing? A bathtub performance?
Did you at least score 9s?
They owe you a cuppa for sure.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Just doing the usual things you do in a bath in privacy of your own home. I don’t know about the score but I got recommendations of beauty products.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Did the house pets also sit in the audience?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Yeah. They set up camp on the mat then the little one tried to get in with me. I replied “This is a one woman bath my friend”.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Sitting in an online meeting and we’re on our 4th presenter. Every single presenter has made a point of doing an acknowledgement of country. It’s beginning to lose it’s meaning.
indisin@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Really awkward time to wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed.
Baku@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Today, or I guess yesterday, was such a nice day. Not a huge fan of this new day we’re doing with cold and rain again, though.

it’s the hay fever 🤧🤧🤧
wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Just found out a neighbor (man in his 60s) was being love scammed. Relatives have been warming him for six months it’s a scam.
Now he’s spent all of his savings and he’s been evicted.
I have some sympathy, but I can’t help but think his pig headedness is a big contributor here.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Happened to my FIL and it wasn’t even over the internets. Real life.
She even forged his will.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I’m curious - what are the personality traits and how do they test for it?
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 8 months ago
…pakidge…
Ran out of monthly audiobook hours on spotify half way through listening to Reaper Man (part of an ongoing quest to finally read/listen to all the Terry Pratchett books). But I had a voucher for amazon from a stuffed up delivery so I bought an actual book copy because it’s probably my favourite so far.

I believe I was promised some Old Spice today, is the delivery on track chef?

Is it an RDO in the construction sector today? Not a single ford ranger on the roads.

Rain predicted, plenty of sites will be shut. Cause you know…if one trade can’t work, none of the others can either.

Does make for a pretty lonely circle jerk of only the sparkies show up I guess…

The spelling bee show on abc has the potential to be entertaining, however, the host Guy Montgomery is exceptionally creepy to me. There’s something about his voice and mannerisms that gives me uncanny valley murderous vibes. I am probably alone in this but feel better now that it’s off my chest.
StudChud@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Eugh! I just googled him and he looks like a creepy weirdo 😭😭

I know not of this cold basking in 22C and full sun out in Bestern Australia. 29C tomorrow, then a Melbourne-esque pivot to 19C and rain on Friday before I head home.
I’m not really that keen on going back to work at one of my jobs after this…
TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone 8 months ago
23 degrees and sunny on Saturday. Could be worse. Grand Final day too. Airlines gonna be chockers …

Looking up ideas to make a new 3d filament rack…and seeing a lot of clearly “man putting hobby in closet so can hide to please wife”
…so glad I’m the wife. And the resident trashpanda. And we have our own offices that the other person gets zero fucking say on.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 8 months ago
I don’t know what any of that means but I can tell you if you leave anything on my kitchen (my office) table it will be seriously pointed at until it is removed.
Taleya@aussie.zone 8 months ago
We kinda started that with the dining table, but then, cats, north facing window, so …we just gave up.
if there’s room for a cat to sprawl, we good
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 8 months ago
To be fair some of it could be ‘hobby in closet so you yourself don’t trip over it’
I used to consider putting a small desk and folding chair inside a closet so whenever I wasn’t working on something I could just shut the door.
<— also a trash panda

I might have a slow day today, just do stuff slowly and with stress and also try to finish this dinosaur lego thing I have. 🙂
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Horizon Zero dawn remaster, despite you know only being released and perfectly playable on the ps5. What about the original ratchet and clank trilogy? Infamous 1 or 2? Jack and Daxter remaster? No? How about some stuff that ISNT playable on ps5 instead of a title that absolutely IS playable?!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 8 months ago
Turns out I haven’t been drinking enough water for the movicol to do its thing.
Apparently 8 sachets in 1 day is a lot lol
