    It took 6 weeks but I got my ridiculous $200 parking fine waived! Thank goodness… I really didn’t need an extra cost on top of everything else. Never making that mistake again. Not parking there after June this year anyhow!

      Thank goodness you had it waived, it was worth contesting it in the end!

        It took a lot of running around to get various documents but I’m glad I pushed through.

      Buy yourself something nice with the money you saved!

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Bah. It’s less so money saved and more so money not spent. I’m more than happy to see my bank balance not eaten away. I don’t need to dip into my savings for my hair cut and colour this week!

    Why does my dog continually want to go and sunbake outside when it’s 37 cunt degrees out there? He runs to the door like it’s urgent. I am not opening it even with those cute pleading eyes.

      Yeah, mine’s half Mexican, he spent 3 hours last night staring at me for his evening walk.

      What happens when you let your dog out on a day like this?

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        He sunbakes on the path like a cat. When he’s had enough, he knocks on the door to come in. Half an hour later, he wants to go back out. He prefers this:

        But because I have the door shut, he can’t sit in his favourite spot.

        You should see the layers of blankets my Pepper sleeps on, it’s the princess and the pea come to life. And to think she was sleeping rough as a kitten before we found her makes me add another blanket every other day!

    Woohoo, pakige! After inexplicably not getting one for over a decade since leaving home (despite growing up religiously using one), I finally got my own Borner V-slicer. Shipped direct from Germany no less - admittedly using Evil Bezos (I had a gift card).

    yay

    Image

    I can’t wait to slice up the rest of the daikon and carrot for a MUCH better-looking pickle. And then chunky batons of beetroot to make into a curry. And cabbage for a stir fry… no more questionable knifework!

    I only really hope the latest models haven’t fallen to enshittification. My mum and aunt have been using their older ones for like 20 years now.

      I can see myself losing a finger on that contraption.

      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        They have apparently made them a lot safer (especially with storage - you can now store all the pieces safely without exposing your fingers to the blades)

        But yeah my grandma absolutely refused to use them back in the day no matter how convenient they are. I’ve definitely nicked myself in the past.

    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      the Borner is the original and best , my mum had one and I remember using it myself to help with the family cooking. I now have one myself , but another brand , and it’s indispensable for cutting oranges, lemons and limes for marmalade

    I fucked up the inside of my lip at a show and it’s making me fucking miserable. I hate having to swallow half a tube of medijel just to eat…

    While I’m here, if you’re a decent person and want to help protect trans rights in Australia after the Qld government decided to fuck over trans kids, come to the state library at 10am this Saturday.

    Link here, should include events in other cities.

    I’m all 😍 with people’s pet pics! Keeping my mind off the fact that I’ve had an allergic/contact dermatitis reaction to a cream I was using on my facial burns 😭 For a while there I had ouchy annoying weeping burn coupled with OMG I want to scratch my face apart going on. Now have calmed it down a lot, might actually get a good sleep tonight 🥱. That cool breeze through the window is very welcome. I made a bluesky account and have been looking through some stuff. Don’t know if it’s something I’ll do on the regular, but it’s interesting until I get sick of it I guess.

    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Glad to hear it’s calming down and giving you a bit of a break from that - it’s an awful sensation!! I’m spinmeround on bluesky if you wanna follow each other, I don’t post much, but it’s usually random thoughts, quotes I hear and my thoughts on whatever KDrama I’m watching lol.

    Woke up at 4am due to needing the loo and ended up staying awake for pretty much the rest of the night being cranky about there being so many things I want to do and feeling like I just don’t have the time. Mostly because I’m going into the city for my birthday next weekend and want to do EVERYTHING – places I’ve been, but also try new places.

    Anyone got any fav Can’t Miss This sort of city recs? I’m pretty set on going for at least a drink at Pearl Diver, hopefully Rooftop Bar, maybe some ramen at Snow Monkey, a bakery snack, a walk in gardens, urg, see, there’s too much!

    Slept with the portable AC on last night and still slept pretty terribly. Looks like it’s going to hit max temp at around 2pm today and start cooling down. I’m thinking I’ll have to leave some of my windows open today if my apartment has any chance of cooling down after all this hot weather.

    Alright, so edible question. My doc recommended trying gummies which arrived today. They are 10mg thc/10mg CBD. I’m not really across what this equates to in terms of strength… Obviously edibles are slow onset, but how strong is this going to end up being in comparison to other methods of consuming (smoking, vaping etc)… I’ve had edibles exactly once 25 years ago, and they tasted so nice that I did the have way too much thing. Not wanting that to happen with these…

    Dog goes to the door when asked if he wants to play. As soon as he gets outside, he runs straight to a patch of grass and starts munching on it, unfazed by toys.
