I always wanted a turkey baster and thanks to Aldi I now have one.
Ps. When I typed in baster it automatically typed in bastard.

I wonder if its the fact that turkeys arnt that common a meal in aus, who more about who I am as a person that my mind goes immediately to uses for a turkey baster.
Suppose it could be all the exposure to IVF and fertility stuff too.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
Turkey is honestly a great white meat.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
😂
It will definitely be used to skim fat and oil from my stews.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 13 hours ago
I also think of the alternative uses 1st when someone says turkey baster

Yesterday I was in my lounge room and I heard water running so I cocked my head, went into the kitchen and realised FUCK ITS THE LAUNDRY. So I sprint in there and turn the tap off. My washing machine had sprung a leak. First thing i did was take off my socks because ick. Water everywhere. Luckily it didn’t reach the hallway carpet. Cleaned it up. There was swearing but atleast I know I run towards danger, didn’t panic and my hearing is still good.
Good news is I defrosted my freezer so I get to pack it with frozen goods from Aldi today.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
yikes! Do you have a drain in the laundry? seems INSANE that wasnt a standard thing since like… forever.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
No drain in a 1970s house. Although that would’ve been handy.
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
ooh good save. After a few water events over the last few years water scares the shit out of me now. You did good.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 17 hours ago
Thanks. I have had the hot water hose spring a leak under the bathroom basin cabinet. That was a hot steamy mess.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
I might have missed something - but anyone seen Bull lately? Is he still here under a different name?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
He’s active at the other joint.
I’m hoping @oztrin is OK.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
For sure, she had a lot on her plate. I liked hearing about Sammy and Zooks. People come and go, of course. Hopefully they pop in and say hi occasionally! This is such a lovely space.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
I have an assignment due today that I haven’t even started, so I’m getting lots of cleaning done 🤣

it’s standard cbt to do the easy tasks first so that you build up resilience and momentum 👍

I operate at that level too…

strange nightmares, first I was looking for a new place to live but the place was strange and had public toilets
second someone went out and got some recreational drugs to use. I cried.

I had one last week where me and a mate were sitting in a waiting room outside an orgy waiting for it to finish for some reason.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
Dark with no rain…what is this?
Also, had two people message me this morning (work related) with a ‘Happy Monday’
Some people need a’killin
Excited for Pearl Jam tonight!!!
Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
What do you think of the album?
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 14 hours ago
The new one? Better than the last couple, but I’m hoping they limit what they play from it. It’s more Pearl Jam-y, for sure, but still sounds like generic rock.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
had the best fish and chips I’ve had in a long time down at tooradin over the weekend. the bakery there is also amazing so worth checking out if you are ever down that way.
Eagle@aussie.zone 19 hours ago
My Local ❤️ The ice cream shop next to the bakery is 👌 too.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
the park thing is lovely. There were some teens jumping off the bridge into the lagoon thing that I wasn’t sure if that was safe or not.

I’ve had a weird spot on my hand that I’ve had for 8+ years randomly heal and also a lump on my leg that I’ve had for 20ish years also randomly heal.
Do I go see my GP or Charles Xavier?
Duenan@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
Woke up today in a panic.
I totally forgot to turn on all my alarms again after taking the day off on Friday.
Thank god I woke up when I did but I’m a little worse for wear today, I think hayfever has gotten a hold of me and the headache I had yesterday didn’t help.
Anyway on with today!

A quote that made me laugh yesterday “Delulu is the solulu” 🤣

Onto my least favourite week of work. The 1pm to 830 shift
indisin@aussie.zone 20 hours ago
Lunch time beers an option?
Please never listen to me, I’m a bad influence
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
That’s called a “liquid lunch”.

Hey

If bowling for soup wrote 1985 today with the same time gap it’d be about 2005. So someone made that song.
If ya’ll need to take a moment I dont blame you.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Awake. I don’t think the fish and chips I had for dinner agreed with me. Ugh.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 day ago
Try some peppermint tea if you have it

I’m downloading pics from social media in preparation for that age verification bill to come into effect because I don’t want to give these companies my ID. I’ve put on there that people can send me their deets if I don’t have them. If they don’t do it by the time I know it’s going ahead I’ll drop an email address in their messages and leave. Then the ball is in their court.
And yeah people say it won’t happen but they’ve said that about a lot of stuff that did.
I wish I’d done that and deleted my profile before everything got scraped with no choice to opt out.
I’m looking into a VPN too. I should have sorted one years ago but you have to make sure it’s not shady.
wscholermann@aussie.zone 18 hours ago
My issue is trying to get other people that have posted photos of me to take it down. Currently working through this.
Fortunately there’s not too many but still enough to be annoying.
But yes government and corporate overreach scares me.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 12 hours ago
I figure that’s not really possible so the best I can do is just make a plan in case of losing access.
indisin@aussie.zone 22 hours ago

I’m confused, you mean provide a false id?
indisin@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
Currently in an annoyingly weird sleep pattern. I do not want to be wide awake at 4am unless it’s from still being out at 4am, which this is most definitely not.
just_kitten@aussie.zone 1 day ago
How have I still not finished packing?! Although at least the remainder is all sorts of bitsy things in various containers. Ran outta packing tape, too…
Gonna have a hard stop for the night. Though I’ve had to jump out of bed after realising i forgot to drain and disconnect the washing machine. Hopefully it’ll be dry enough by 10am! Goodnight everyone.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 1 day ago
I don’t envy you kitten… when I was younger I moved around a lot and I actually enjoyed it, it was like an adventure. As I got older I started to hate it, all the work! Many hugs.

Don’t be too proud to just shove nonbreakable stuff in garbage bags.
indisin@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I dunno, my partner is still asking me when I’m going to unpack that last box and it has been 2 years. At this point I like to think of it as a mystery box and a running joke.
indisin@aussie.zone 23 hours ago
I really feel for you and can empathise. Why does packing always take longer than anticipated? I hope you get a good night’s sleep and that everything goes well :)
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 15 hours ago
I’m going to try to squeeze one more day of leave from work. Considering I’m not taking a break over Xmas, I feel like 4 days of leave isn’t a huge deal.
Let’s see what happens lol
