Second last day w/ hams.
Pushed him pretty hard today (twice) and now he’s pulled his monkey from the toy box to hold his hand to pass out.
I’ve never seen a dog do that.

Well, the wall heater was leaking carbon monoxide. Lucky I got the plumber to have a look today.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Damn dude. That could have been much worse. Was it one of those old style Vulcan heaters?
SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Do not live long. Do not prosper.
PeelerSheila@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Holy shit dude! Thank goodness it’s getting fixed before you got to a stage where you thought someone was secretly living in your roof or something.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Thanks :) I remember that reddit story!
imoldgreeeg@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Holy crap! Glad you got it sorted
Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Bloody hell glad you got that sorted!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Holy hell that’s scary!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
omg
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Oh wow, so glad you got that sorted quickly
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’m incredibly paranoid about stuff like this. Last thing I need is to end up dead or laid up in hospital staring at the walls.
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Oh wow. That’s so lucky.
Was the leak inside your place or outside?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Inside.
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Bruh!
Catfish@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Yikes! Be safe.
WTF are you paying this? Hope you’re putting in a claim.
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Absolutely. This safety check should have been conducted a year ago.

Melbcat has started patting me to communicate what she wants. Treats? More treats? Help her get under the doona? Pat pat.
I’ve thoroughly spoiled her but don’t care. She’s old and very loved and deserves a soft life of being cherished.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
You also deserve a soft life of being cherished 💕
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Don’t we all
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
aw, you are the best cat mom ever
and you deserve some of that spoiling too

i’ve only just recovered from dinner with MIL and BIL the other night
MIL was grumbling about dinner, I asked if it was too hot, she said yes, it hurt her
I said i added no hot spice at all . she said nothing
then she ate dessert and said it made her feel better from the terrible stomach ache dinner gave her…lol
next week she’ll order a hot curry from a restaurant …lol
BIL kept on licking his knife, even after I glared at him
since he insists on eating like a 1 year old, a 2 year knows better, if there is a next time I will chop his food before hand and give him no knife
the conversation was just as riveting and social
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 days ago
If mushrooms are on the menu next time they visit I wouldn’t blame you at all if you know what I mean.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Lemme guess, nothing is good enough for MIL? They sound thrilling to be around.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
She has her own definition of good.
Good is the opportunity to win over someone.
anotherspringchicken@aussie.zone 2 days ago
That sounds very stressful. I vote for you cooking no more meals for these people. If they want to see you, arrange to go out to a restaurant instead
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
sounds like an idea
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Nothing like repeated backhanded comments.
Must be so infuriating dealing with that.
Hope you get to treat yourself with some self care for awhile.
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
she was really annoyed I packed the left overs up and put them in the fridge …lol
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Does your husband stick up for you, or is he at least on your side here?
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Not once. In fact he will often side with others, might join in attacks and might keep attacking when they are gone.
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Heheh… next time serve completely bland unseasoned food, not even added salt. (Condiments and salt on the table, she would just have to openly reach for them.)
Then smile sweetly and ask about her tummy.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 2 days ago
So sorry. These people sound obnoxious.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
What are you lovely people looking forward to at the moment? I’m looking forward to my holiday at the end of next month! Anyone else got a holiday booked or a fun dinner planned or even just a day in general they’re looking forward to?
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I’ve got a trip to see some close friends I haven’t seen in a decade in a couple of weeks.
Nervous but excited!
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
That’s very exciting, I am very happy for you! I hope you all have an absolute blast!
StudChud@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Spring, and Friday 11am (by then I’ll have done this oral presentation 😂), then also getting my certificate!
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I am excited with you. 😄 You deserve this so much.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Bring on Friday 11am!! You know we’re all cheering for you!

Gonna be a cold one tonight, my house temp is dropping fast without the heater on. I don’t want to see my next gas bill.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 2 days ago
The other day, I served a customer who was wearing a dirty looking mask over her mouth, but not her nose. She panicked when she saw the barcode scanner.
“When the infra-red light touches my body, I get pains in my body.”
I have a feeling this could have been a delusion, but I asked her if she had seen the doctor. She said yes, and they just told her they don’t know. I just hope she gets the help she needs.

Neighbour has been trying to start his wife’s car for a good hour now. Keeps clicking without turning over.
He had the same issue a few months ago and was convinced it was the battery. Gave it a jump start and charged it up.
Myself and another neighbour suggested it might be alternator, he didn’t want to hear it.
Looks like he’s up for an alternator for 99 Honda Prelude.

The thing I hate most about being sick is it fucking with my emotions.
Feeling sick I can deal with, but depressed and anxious I can do without

Your YouTube premium family subscription cost has just been doubled because we as company only made $35bn in the first quarter of 2025… Fuckers…daaaaaaah!
just_kitten@aussie.zone 2 days ago
I accidentally left my personal phone at home today. Unsurprisingly, I had an extremely productive day at work. Probably did 2-3 days’ worth in 1… If I was on full time hours I’m sure I might’ve dragged it out, but the pressure of that thing is mounting!!!
Sox is being particularly whiny today, maybe because I got home late. Time to play a bit of snack-throwing I guess. I have her until next Saturday which is great for relieving the huge amount of stress coming up!
Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Rightio. Got a 2nd plumber out to double check everything because I’m paranoid.
What an expensive fucking day today has been.

Holes to dig and washings to do on a full work day yaaay

I’ve been getting into Westerns recently. I read Blood Meridian a little while ago and it’s such a slog of a book. I wasn’t into the genre much before but it feels so antithetical to all the regular tropes.
I just finished Be Cool by Elmore Leonard as well. It’s not a Western but he’s written a lot of them and you can see the style crossover. I thought I was reading the first Chili Palmer book, so I’ll need to go back and read Get Shorty, as well as some of his Westerns.
I’ve also started reading the Vampire Hunter D collection I got as a result as well. It’s interesting seeing the prose difference. Vampire Hunter D has such purple prose that’s trying to read fancy and doesn’t hit the mark at all. Be Cool had simple writing that allows it to flow. And Blood Meridian was almost too simple in that it felt plodding and hard to read because of how flat it was.
I’m also reading True Grit now because I watched the Cohen Brothers movie when it came out. They’re very good at the gritty Western so I thought I’d check out the source material.
I feel like a Western is more than its American West aesthetics. There are themes of a frontier, colonialism, expansion, and areas of little to no rule of law. Westerns are very American, but a story can feel like a Western without being set in that specific time and place.

Hand sewing and crochet could be something screen-free to do before bed.
But bags and dolls are a little boring. Also the weave of the leftover cotton fabric is tight so it’s annoying to stitch. It doesn’t go smoothly and even a thimble might not be enough. I feel too lazy to finish any of this

Attempting to listen to all of the 27 KGATLW albums this month and if I hear the word rattlesnake again, it will just sound like a bunch of sounds

My algorithm really gave me a boost this morning… You’ve got to give this at least a minute or so to get the full effect.

Howdy all.
I have not been here for a long long time. Life has certainly got in the way of everything.
Hope you are all doing well and life has been good.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Haiiiii!! How have you been? What’s been happening?
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Mainly just work and uni and placement and writing and just trying to have a non-tech life at times. Too many irons in the fire.
MeanElevator@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Heyyo!!!
Duenan@aussie.zone 2 days ago
Welcome back! We’ve missed you!
Hope you’re doing well and life is treating you ok.
