I listed what I thought was junk from my recent house cleanout on eBay and I’m getting multiple offers within a couple days.
These people are trying to negotiate the price down, even though the listings are buy now with no ability to make offers, which is annoying. Also eBay fees are quite expensive, so have to take that into account in accepting lower amounts. But I’m happy to be getting some $$ for this stuff.
What’s the ruling on going out with your SO in matching tracksuits?
Don’t. That’s the ruling. We are not Japan or the US.
With the possible honorable exception of the wearing of Carlton Blacks. But this ONLY applies if you live in Carlton.
true, i see many couples wearing matching black and matching black trackies, it’s perfectly ok here
There’s no rules, do whatever you want. I think it’s a big think in Japan. Osoroi my quick googling tells me.
only to parties
Bad taste parties
Depends how expensive looking they are 😆
Hooray apricots done. Probably lost half the fruit to whatever. But the amount of ladybugs (100’s+) on that fruit was great to see. Accidentally ate a few that were on the 'cots but carefully transferred a heap of them into the chilli patch. Left a bunch of fruit on the tree as they seem to like it.
Ooo, I want to attract lady bugs to my front area. I’ve bought one of those little houses and will set it up soon. I’m entering my second year war with mealy bugs that started on my palm.
The calico is an outside cat who is snuggle buddies with the orange stray
Bathroom and toilet are spotless.

no convincing the outside cats owners to take on the stray? also F “outside cat” owners.
If i could find the owner I’d give it a go.
And agree about the “outside cat” thing. It’s so irresponsible.
Apparently someone stole a bike in an aggravated burglary, rode up the street and set fire to two acres of grassland yesterday here in sleepy pt. lonsdale. So random. Taken away in cuffs on the main strip lol.
I feel like meth was involved somehow.
Set fire to 2 acres of grassland at this time of year? What an idiot
Bill keeps looking for Miss Seagoon. 😔
If you have a kindle from 2013 onwards they can now all be jailbroken.
Jailbreak is called WinterBreak.
Welp, airport parking was definitely the best choice given how late I ended work - 5:45pm - and thanks to cruisey holiday traffic I made it in time to spare for a bite and a drink. And got all my chores done at home beforehand. My feet are sore from doing a whole day out after a while, looking forward to relaxing…
So much crying at airport. House seems empty now. 😢
Aww sorry Seagoon. They’re not gone forever. Just try to reflect on the good times, not that they’ve now gone 😞
Peas and gravy.
The perfect combination.
🤤
I’ve just made my first UberEats order in years: Cold and flu tablets should be here shortly. Expensive, but the chances of me getting myself to the chemist are pretty much nil at this point.
It is frustrating trying to wade through all of the different products and figure out what anything is, you have to look at the ingredients for everything. It would be nice if that information was at least more prominent, instead of an afterthought behind branding. At the very least real drugs and herbal remadies should be easy to pick apart.
Other problem is that you can’t get pseudoephedrine without picking up in person.
Phenylephedrine tablets were recently classed as a Placebo by the FDA, so it is a waste of time. Phenylephedrine nasal treatments are reported to work.
I thought that was the case too, but there must be some sort of loophole because I have pseudoephedrine.
I was surprised to be able to get it, and also relieved because going to the chemist in person is both beyond my current capabilities and also not great for the community given I probably have Flu and it would be better not to spread it around.
The perils of living alone that those who live with others easily forget…
Yep. The other one I always loved was being expected to get a medical certificate for sick leave. When you are actually sick that can be extremely difficult and often counterproductive. Fortunately I only need a stat dec these days, but I do have a written warning on file for taking sick leave without a certificate before. Because obviously if I’m too sick to work I’m perfectly capable of getting myself to the doctor’s to the doctors to fill out some paperwork.
Shit keeps happening, both big and small, and it’s really affecting my ability to cope. I just want something to go smoothly.
so many hugs
One day day a time, try to do one constructive thing at a time.
good night everyone , sweet dreams 😘
Clever Void the garden panther caught a mouse
Has anyone heard from StudSpud lately? Haven’t seen them around like usual.
I was just in the kitchen and I see something at the back door. I walk to the door and a cat is there, just staring. How strange.
I think Miss Meow got sent to you by accident.
Holy Shit. The Substance. What a unique movie.
Loved this movie, I’m glad it’s getting the recognition it deserves. In the cinema, it was a full-on watching experience.
Normally I avoid horror, but I love sci-fi, which it also is. Eg, Upgrade and Hardware. The colours were fantastic.
It gave me nightmares :(
From what I’ve read it seems to sound very familiar to a movie called “beauty water”. Very similar.
Her ginger floofy belly 😍
Using the mighty power of drugs I have arisen from the couch and successfully made breakfast. It was on easy mode as I meal prepped most of it in anticipation of work Mon & Tues, but it still involved cooking eggs so I count it as an achievement.
You have eggs?
I received an order of 5 dozen on Friday. I had no idea there was a shortage until I saw it here.
I’m going bowling today! Haven’t been bowling for probably 5 years and I never was any good. Then probably a pub lunch afterwards. Beautiful day outside too. 😊
I always use the kiddie ramp thing at least once. Still goes in the gutter though :(
Maybe you and Force need bumper bowling.
What kind of bowling? Lawn or the indoor kind?
Ten pin bowling, but I wouldn’t say no to lawn bowls
Have to admit it is cheaper than a cat toy.
I’m happy she’s using the cat tree lol.
Laundry today, Mt Washmore seems to be expanding overnight. I’m fantasizing about buying an off-grid property, so idly scrolling through property listings. It makes a change from doomscrolling about climate change and the US. Trying to learn a bit more about off-grid living, but I’m about as technically minded as a carrot lol.
I’m going to miss waking up at midday :(
I have a plan on how to get a full night’s sleep. Let’s see how it plays out.
Goodnight all ❤️
I thought the night flu tabs would help me sleep, but they didn’t. I’d really like to sleep but can’t get comfortable ☹️
I was just reading up on the closure of Foodstar in Sunshine (all-you-can-eat restaurant that opened in the 1990s). Growing up in the west, I used to frequent Sunshine Village cinemas which involved walking past this fine establishment. I would always wonder who actually went to eat there, as it looked absolutely terrible. And how it stayed in business so long - it was always mostly empty. A friend who had gone there several times, forced upon for family events, never had anything good to say.
Not too long ago, I looked up the Google reviews with some friends to see if anything had changed, and they are incredible, especially the owner’s responses. And his closure statement does not disappoint. Goodbye Foodstar, we will miss you.

Between heart problems and his teeth deteriorating Tommy probably doesn’t have very much time left, he’s struggling to eat now. But we’re still having lots of snuggles 💕

Poor old baby. Maybe some pate mashed with warm water might be slurpable and encourage him with the smell. Love him and give him everything he wants ❤️
