    Got a clean bill of health from my doctor. I knew last week that I was ok but we went through everything today.

    It’s a relief :)

      good news, so many hugs

    Had a very interesting discussion today with some person referred to me who is trying to undercut my business pricing by more than 50%. Saying some other business gave them a significantly cheaper quote, but conveniently couldn’t name who they were. Are you getting a like-for-like service? Are you getting the same expertise? It’s not just about the $$ - cheap price means cheap, corner-cutting service and cheap outcomes. I was smelling bullshit anyway.

      Competing on price is just a race to the bottom. Let this person get the cheapest service he can find then see if he comes back to you later looking for some real support.

      You have to consider your time as well and whether it’s worth it for you.

    Sadly my number 14 (Fucktangular) was replaced by Turning the Thaid - not sure what it is but it’s delicious

    My favourite is I’m the Moon (Irish stout) and Rock Candy (sour)

      I got a Marc Jacobs pair of glasses, but I LOVE my horn rimmed sunnies. I specifically wanted hornrim because it reminds me of the way Gary Larson draws women

      eg

      I think it is fun to find a pair of glasses that represent your personality! You have to wear them all day in front of people, have fun with it!

        I tried some of those and they did NOT suit. Got some that match my silly hair colours.

      I haven’t used Zenni or Specsavers (or whatever the best deal is these days) but if you go cheap enough you could get your prescription in a few styles?

      That’s not a Texas loaf, that’s the entire united states

      I am impressed, it rose and didn’t spill over the edges , it must have very well developed gluten

      source
      • RustyRaven@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        It tried to spill over on one side only for some reason. It ended up a very weirdly shaped (but tasty) loaf.

    Melbcat went to the vet today. She didn’t have a full enough bladder to give a sample and I wasn’t able to bring her back tomorrow to stay in. So they finally relented and gave her a slow release antibiotic shot. Here’s hoping she starts feeling better quickly.

    I fell asleep afterwards -_- I wish I could start feeling better quickly. Maybe I should ask for antibiotics and arthritis shots too while I’m there /j

      aw, you’re such a good cat mum

      and hugs and rest for yourself too

      source
    • Catfish@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Look I don’t want to disparage your vet, but: many many years ago I had a cat with a broken jaw. He declined to eat. The vet refused to discharge him until he would and nasal force fed. A full week later they gave up, he ate 2 minutes after getting home.

      source
      • melbaboutown@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        They’ve not been wanting to give her antibiotics for fear of resistance which I get, but the uti hasn’t resolved itself the way they hoped.

        I’m really hoping this shot works

    Perth baristas wouldn’t know what a good coffee was even if it slapped them in the face. I have to ask for 4 shots to make it taste like an actual coffee.

    We’re so spoiled in Melbourne.

    source
    • MeanElevator@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      They’ve got hard water there too. Unless they’re softening it, could affect the taste as well.

      source
      • StudChud@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

        Yep, partner and I are very much missing our delicious Melbourne water that we can drink straight from the tap. Almost everyone here has a filter for a reason haha

        I think the baristas use too much milk in the coffees they make, to offset the hard water taste.

    Last couple of days have been rough and I don’t really know why other than particular dreams.

    I just wake up in an almost panic.

    Hopefully I’ll get the role I’ve gone for next week and it’ll fade.

    source
  • Seagoon_@aussie.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I woke up feeling good. Nice dreams again.

    just need more rest for my back

    I have sorted why I’ve been feeling weird, it is long covid giving me a buzzy feeling, and traffic noise was making me confused, but knowing makes me feel like I can do something, so rest , cut coffee in half, take iron tabs

    and am getting on top of organising everything 😊I’ve done all the hand sewing

      I had a dream that I was late to my hairdressing appointment, tried to call an Uber but the driver(s) ended up being a total creep who tried to kidnap me, so I rang the hairdresser to let them know I was going to be really late and she went into a whole fascist rant so I cancelled the appointment.

      Apparently I’m a bit worried about my appointment this afternoon.

    Dog peed on the packet of toilet paper. It’s not catastrophic by any means, but I’m curious as to why he did it. He did see his only dog friend before, so I’m thinking it may have been a territorial pissing.

      it’s interesting how their depravity has been covered up

      fake charities where they took the money

      abuse and betrayal of everyone around them, family and employees

      such a complete lack of decorum, they would embarrassing in a dive bar

      they aged into physically ugly people too, even tho they are rich

        Not that it should make you feel better but it’s nothing worse than anything royalty has done throughout history. Pretty standard for that family alone

    The LCD Steamdeck is on sale at the moment. I would almost consider it if I didn’t kind of have that space covered with a handheld and a laptop running Bazzite. The OLED screen is meant to be really good and worth the extra price.

    I should know all this because I bought my girlfriend an OLED Steamdeck but she only ever plays it plugged into the TV

        I know right.

        I take some comfort in the fact that Microsoft is currently being sued for a couple of things and I hope they get rammed.

        But yes. GitHub, an absolute hive of social media grooming and underage access to porn. /s The overreach is becoming more blatant.

      omg, this might work out well in the long run

      all the morons won’t be able to know how to verify and log in

      and the far right nutcases will refuse

      so they won’t be watching sky/fox etc and commenting anymore

      they will have less indoctrination and will vote better and be less racist and nasty too

        In the meantime I as a disabled adult will lose access to all of my social media accounts plus YouTube, Steam and Github.

        Possibly also Lemmy if they decide to go after us. And potentially my Yahoo and Gmail emails plus whatever is on them. And potentially my Dropbox and Flickr accounts. The list keeps waffling and expanding.
