    Just met hambams vet at the dog park. Lovely lady and very hard core knew her shit and doesn’t suffer fools that’s for sure. Had a nice long walk and chat with her around the park. Convo got surprisingly personal. She invited me back to her practice up the road, had some champagne w/ her and her assistant and got some great tips on hambam.

    Offered me use of her clinic to leave the dog there and for training whenever I need if I need to go help my mum.

    So random.

    There are kind souls out there but I was not expecting that.

        I went to UWA for about a semester and lived on campus at Currie Hall - King’s park was my back yard! I love it there

    I’ve finally figured out how to get Gibson to go where I want her to.

    I move to the room and close the door.

    BOOM!

    2 seconds later she’s going nuts for me to open the door for her lol

    If ya’ll are delaying the dentist piece of advice: a cleaning regularly can prevent a filling. Ask me how I know. Also if your yet to do a will please consider this an order to go get that done ASAP.

    source
    • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I do have a dentist appt scheduled in less than a month but I’m dreading it because I have NOT, despite repeated pleading from my dentist, been flossing regularly let alone using an electric toothbrush like I said I will. I might push the appt back a bit depending on when I wrap up uni so I can try and make up for bad dental hygiene a bit (I know that’s not how it really works, sigh).

      I signed up to be on organ donor lists and get do not resuscitate orders back when had just passed 18, but I haven’t yet done a will because I have fuck-all to leave behind anyway tbqh. I’ll definitely get one drafted if/when I buy my own place, some day in the murky future.

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Those floss piks help a lot. (The green Allsmiles ones are the best ones.) Having a packet next to my bed means it gets done.

      😣 both are on my list of things to do. Denist is happening next Monday, but I keep putting the will creation off. Too many hard decisions

      • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        are you waiting for a sign? Good news this is it! Do your will. Do it soon. Tomorrow isnt promised and you just know the government will give your money away to Gina!

        Wills are replaceable. You can make one set of choices now, and change your mind later and make a new Will. This is actually recommended if you have significant lifestyle/situation changes - eg. retirement or divorce or serious illness. If cost is holding you back, some Will providers do a cheapie basic version that can be suitable for say, next 10 years or so. That buys you time to do serious estate planning.

    I’ve got this bacterial rash either as a result of how sick I’ve been , or along side it. My skin feels so dry and gross. I feel like either an unmasked Deadpool without the healing factor or the infected guy in a zombie movie that tries to hide it and spreads it around the office.

        The cat has wet and dry food, and some wet treats. We have rice and cheap meat, bread, etc we’ll be okay.

        It’s just interesting how easy it is to go from ‘okay’ to ‘oof’ so quickly. I expected it, but damn lol

      Peanut butter and butter. You and @Bottom_racer@aussie.zone are my people.

      butter and peanut butter

      That argument needs to be put to rest.

      There needs to be both.

      It has been written and therefore is.

      source

        theres no argument. Theres people who like it and then people who are wrong.

      What is wrong with you?

      crumpets are made with little holes so they can hold butter and JAM or HONEY

      crumpets are a little sweet so go with sweet things

      english muffins with PB is good

    First the Liberals get utterly trounced in the elections, now the Nationals are actually deciding to leave the coalition! Well well well. What a year for Australian politics.

    source
    • TinyBreak@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      theyll be back. nationals cant win without libs to try take the city seats. Fuck knows they aint winning any city/suburban seats themselves!

      source
      • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Maybe they shouldn’t aim to win but to represent their electorate.

        source
    • tombruzzo@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I was thinking about this when I saw the news. Now is the best time for them to split since they’re both so politically insignificant. It won’t make any difference and they’ll probably all vote the same way. They’ll probably get back together in a few terms when the libs seem electable again.

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        Well, this might be a wildcard but I’d like to see the Liberals start to follow more in the line of the Teals and importantly, stay that way to win back more seats. In which case the Nationals will either hold onto their ideals and become increasingly politically irrelevant, or be dragged kicking and screaming into the 21st century in order to form a coalition with the reformed Liberals.

        source
    • Thornburywitch@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I’m loving the idea of the Libs as a minor party. Some consequences for the 2 party preferred system though - Anthony Green or young Mr Briggs will have to generate a whole new set of statistics …

      source
      • just_kitten@aussie.zone ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

        I suppose it becomes an issue with the 2PP system where the Nats and Libs both contest a seat which is generally quite rare, I think? I would expect that even as separate parties they’ll agree not to fight each other on the same turf too much as they wouldn’t want to split the vote and have (shudder) some other party win.

    Tim Wilson is 128 votes ahead with only 86 envelopes left to count; Zoe can’t win on indicative preferences but (a) let’s see what the formal distribution of preference yields, and (b) CAN THE MARGIN GO BELOW 100!!! In which case it’s more likely that the AEC would do a recount… though I still think it’d need a total fluke/miracle for Zoe to retain her seat.

    More sorting at home turned out to be a good decision. I got a bunch more stuff onto the hard rubbish pile (just in time, they’ve just picked up all the metal bits) and have found someone to take the chest freezer from the shed. A couple more things are up for sale, and with the freezer and some other clutter gone I have enough room to actually start sorting and packing things up properly.

    Movie review. The Hound of the Baskervilles. 1978.

    a homage to silent movies by Peter Cook and Dudley Moore,
