    I think I have an ingrown toe nail. Hurts like a mf.

    source
    • TheWitchofThornbury@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Get thee to a podiatrist asap! Trust me, they are brilliant at sorting out ingrown toenails. Which have a genetic component but are made much much worse with ill fitting footwear. Speaking as someone whose toenails started to grow into tubes during my 20s, and still do if I mistreat them. My podiatrist kept my feet functional for a long long time - far better than any doc ever did.

      source
    • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      If it’s just starting you can wedge a little bit of cotton wool underneath the corner of the nail to lift it clear of your toe, which will allow it to grow out normally.

      If it’s a proper ingrown you want to douse it in Betadine and get to the doctor. Trying to do things yourself can be an infection risk

      source
      • LowExperience2368@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Thank you 😊 I had accidentally clipped the nail too short and it broke, then I stubbed my toe. Didn’t think anything of it until it started being painful and gross over the past few days. I can’t really see if it’s ingrown, so hopefully it’s just beginning.

    Slowly working down the moving checklist. Power & gas connection is organised, and mail redirection done. I need to look at insurance, which is a bit of a nuisance as my current policy ends 3 days before the moving date. Removalist is the next major thing to organise, and then lots of lots of address changes.

    I looked at NBN yesterday, it looks like it has FTTP installed already. That will be good, as I’m looking at getting a Ring doorbell and some security cameras. Money is just flowing from my accounts like water at the moment!

    Countdown: 1 week from key collection. 1 month from final move date.

    very early breakfast for Ted, who woke me up by walking up and down my body

    he’s been on a diet too, lost so much weight, he must be real hungry to wake me up

    so hugs and half brekkie for the little guy who is not so round anymore 🐈‍⬛

      Miss Meow did much the same, along with head butts and a lot of meow. She is also on a diet, but I don’t think she is losing enough weight. She is already convinced she is starving to death, further reductions will not be taken well. At least she is well fortified for the stress of moving, if she decided to hide for a couple of days and not eat it would probably be good for her.

      source
    • SpinMeAround@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Alfie has definitely lost weight and it’s nice because he’s running around the house more, he seems to be feel much better. But the other night after his dinner, he wouldn’t leave us alone, SCREAMING as if we hadn’t fed him. Little beast. To the point boyo was wondering if we’d actually fed him. Alfie is an excellent liar!

      source
      • CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        We have to announce “the dog’s been fed” otherwise he tries to scam another meal from each of us.

    I just opened Excel and the columns now use numbers as well as the rows. Formulas need to be written differently and now row number goes first instead of column.

    What is going on? I feel confused, I feel sick, I’m dizzy, am I smelling toast?

      Try the cesspit that is “new outlook”. Fucking yuck.

      source
      • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        New Outlook isn’t terrible for me because it’s just the web version in its own container. However, you can’t select which keyboard shortcuts you want to use to it’s a no from me.

        But completely changing the way cells are labelled and ordered, now that’s unforgivable.

        I usually roll with change, but threw a bit of a tanty when my computer forced that update… until my boss pointed out I could toggle it off. There is nothing positive about that update.

      Refund or replacement time?

      source
      • Taleya@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Fun fact: I have actually worked as an LCD repair tech. I opened the case up and there’s some suss as shit crap in there - the pressure plates holding the LCD layer to the light panel were not outside the metal plate at the back of the whole shebang, but jammed between them. Which is quite hard to do without opening the case and rescrewing them. So it looks like a very dodgy refurb.

        Everything else works, so it’s just a 22" LCD screen needed…I think I shall hit up a mate and then absolutely fuck over this ebay seller.

  • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

    All the exciting things I’ve ordered lately and the first thing to arrive has to be the mop bucket. Still, it is a very nice mop bucket. And it has wheels, so it can roll with me as I move around the room. Plus it’s in a nice bright hazard warning yellow with “wet floor” warnings on the side, so Miss Meow and Mr Woof will know to be careful. Although it would probably be more useful if I actually had the mop.

    source
    • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      it’s traditional aussie custom as per Lennie Lower to tie fluffy cats and dogs to poles to make mops

    • Bottom_racer@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      be more useful if I actually had the mop

      Technically mr woof and miss meow could be used as interim mop heads.

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Technically. Mr Woof had a bath yesterday, so I guess it should be Miss Meow’s turn. I suspect if I tried it I would end up with many claw marks.

      The Chevron in St Kilda Road! Also the Croc, the Parkview, and the Dan O’Connell. But just about any pub had live music on Fri/Sat albeit of varying quality and volume back in the early 70s. If you could be bothered, then the Three Weeds on Plenty Road often had good bands just starting out.

      source
      • calhoon2005@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Dan O’Connell for St Pat’s. They used to use the little park next to the pub for a band (the Australian U2 Experience I think) and outside drinking. Cheap Guinness that got cheaper throughout the night. I remember getting $1 pints at about 2am as they were trying to finish off the supply.

    I’ve started off with removalist quotes by getting a couple online, hoping for a rough ballpark figure. One was over twice the cost of the other. Accidentally including a trampoline in the list of things I am moving may have had an impact, although the total m3 they estimated was roughly the same. I almost added 35 outdoor umbrellas to the list on the other, due to resting my finger on the touch screen, but fortunately realised before I submitted it.
