    Kidcalhoon2’s left ear piercing is constantly getting infected. Not their right ear, not once. Salt spray will clear it up, but then will be back in a month. Surgical steel and everything
 Could they get an allergic reaction just in one piercing?

      Maybe she sleeps on that side more often than not

      Surgical steel is unlikely to be causing it, but could try switching it out to titanium jewellery instead.

      I wouldn’t use gold personally, more biologically reactive. Avoid silver as well.

      Do they sleep on that side more often? It could be the heat and moisture and irritation from having that side of their head on the pillow. In which case having a pillow against their back while they sleep on the other side for a bit should help.

      Salt spray, sparingly, or saline (same shit).

      Try not to rotate it, or touch it,

        I hate to say this but a lot of jewellery marked hypoallergenic or nickel free or surgical steel or even precious metals are no such thing. So many fakes are coming out China and not just cheap ones either.

        Get a pair of earrings from a good jeweller that you can trust.

      gold hoop sleeper, no studs, use alcohol , do not take earring off for a month or so as it just scratches the piercing open again, let it heal

      Pretty unlikely to be allergic, but you could try gold or titanium. The pillowcase theory sounds probable. I’ve 13 piercings in my ears, usually only have trouble with them if I get sick and don’t wash my hair enough.

    As far as trees go the Myer one is pretty great. I thought it would be cute to give the toddler a job to do, handing out the baubles. Worked great for about three minute till he got annoyed that we were going too slow and started chucking them around the room and ripping the ones off the tree.

    He keeps taking the dog ones to the dogs to show them their photos.

      I’m sure that was very annoying, but at the same time, awww, that’s adorable

        nah not annoying. Funny, but really hard not to laugh at him!

    Can’t wait to have the wisdom teeth taken out. One of the stupid idiots decided to grow dead sideways. Not slightly sideways, almost a straight horizontal angle directly into the next tooth. Usually it’s okay, but every now and again evidently I do something it doesn’t like and then it really hurts. Today was one of those days

    For some reason, whenever I have any tooth pain, my immediate, subconscious, dare I say instinctual response is to grind that tooth. No clue why. It makes the pain much worse, but it helps for about half a second I guess

    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      This happened to my older brother, but not a wisdom tooth. We were told then that sideways teeth were more common than you’d think. Makes you wonder how people coped before proper dentistry. Feel for ya.

      source
      • Baku@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        Wow! I knew impacted wisdom teeth were common, but had no clue regular teeth were prone to doing summersaults too

      You don’t need to pay for it, do you? Even with private insurance, I was out of pocket several hundred dollars when I had mine out, and that was a decade ago.

    I think it’s definitely getting a little late to sow the cherry tomato seeds, and maybe even the pumpkin ones too
 :(

    source
    • imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      Nah I think its still fine. Tomato season has run late these last few years and pumpkins will still grow in late summer. Sprinkle them into soil now. Keep them moist this week and see what happens.

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        Fingers crossed. I’m hopefully getting the seeds soon

        source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

      so buy some seedlings

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁚5⁩ ⁚months⁩ ago

        I would have but checked and Bummings don’t deliver seedlings. Getting there in person is a hassle

    Ugh. I forgot AusPost parcel hours get weird in December

    Had 2 parcels arrive at the facility last night. That was the first update after “shipping information approved by Australia Post”. I checked it today at 10, as well as today at 2. Nothing. Assumed it’ll come tomorrow. No. Just got a notification that they couldn’t deliver it (at 7:02pm) and I need to go pick them up

    They also changed it to say onboard for delivery at 11am (it didn’t say that before), and never sent me the “your parcel is coming today between x and y” message :(

    I appreciate the effort their people put in, but a little more notice would be nice. Especially since night time deliveries aren’t part of their conventional hours, at least in my area

        I think I’ve exhausted my easy dinner allowance for the week. Last night I couldn’t be bothered so made French toast for dinner 😂

        I took out mince meat for tea, but I don’t exactly know what I’m going to do with it just yet. I know how to make meatballs, and that’s about all I’ve memorized with mince just yet. And I’m not fond of spaghetti, but do have a few jars of passata in the cupboard

    Madeleine Stowe in Bad Girls đŸ„°.

    Funny sort of a day, did stuff and sort of did nothing. Managed to make it to a farewell for one my favourite people, ate my favourite sangie and my crack cookie, usual studio routine, managed to cook dinner (basic basa with rice wine, garlic, ginger, coriander, chilli, sesame oil, soy and tamari).

    Trying my damndest to find the organisation for this apartment that we’ve been in for years. My study area really wasn’t conducive and now I’m thinking I’m back to a non-fixed space (for study) and that it’s time to get rid of the desks again and my chair. As good an idea as it was at the beginning, I think I just ended up making the space a bit unusable (and a bit of a subconscious barrier).

    I know I still have too much stuff and still trying to do the SDC. Oh well, always 2025 I guess.
