Of course two days before a trip I get the worst period I’ve had in months. Pain, mess and crying.
But on the other hand… two days until a trip!

it’s because you are relaxed and have less stress hormones
annoying but true
travel often makes periods worse because sitting in very upright positions for long times increases blood pressure to lower half of body

Mega sympathy! I’m much enjoying dealing with that less often, but the lack of predictability makes the emotional suckfulness much harder to keep in check. Easier to not be blubbering mega bitch when you know that’s the reason

No show for 150 days. Started celebrating. Ready to burn the old ningies. Then bang. Fuck. Pass the choccies and don’t talk to me. I was so dirty.

Typical. Mine loves a good holiday and usually waits until I’m away. Especially if I’m doing something awkward like camping somewhere that doesn’t have toilets.

Ooo I hate that!!! Periods have such poor fucking timing🤦♀️
I’m so excited for you and your trip tho!!! EEEEEEEE!!!

Hopefully it means the worst of it is out of the way!

🤞 🤞 🤞 I should have known when I was trying to do a wordsearch last night and just found myself listlessly staring at the page for half an hour.

I think it’s really important that YarraByte creates this thread.
I see Lemmy 1.0 (currently in Alpha) has post scheduling by default, which I’m sure will solve this almost completely. In the meantime, have mods/admin exhausted all other options to keep YB stable? Could we chip in for a good quality webcron service? They’re pretty cheap.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 2 hours ago
I think there was an outage last night and YB got lost in the dark.

So Lemmy fell over instead? I’m sorry for besmirching YarraByte’s name.

Should we look into building a lighthouse? The programming req for a bot ended up beyond me, but a pile of rocks with a torch on top seems achievable.

just under an hour ago about five fire engines and multiple ambulances / MICA just went flying up Chesterville road. Anyone seen any news on what happened?

Most emergencies get sent more cars than you might expect, so it’s likely not as serious or newsworthy as all the action seems to indicate.
Here’s the pager callout for 10.30 this morning:
@@ALERT 03407 IN 1A VEHICLE INTO STRUCTURE - TRAPPED CNR CHESTERVILLE RD/SOUTH RD MOORABBIN M 77 K5 (296994) AFPRS MCHA PODHR PT29 T10A TOPSNA FGD17 [FS29_]

nope, that one isn’t it. I live near that corner, they were coming out of it and heading up towards the opposite end of chesty - southland end.
RustyRaven@aussie.zone 30 minutes ago
Nothing I can see out that way now. Probably a report of a car accident, that always gets lots of trucks hurtling and most of the time turns out to not be as bad as initial reports indicated and they all turn around and go home again.

I check VicEmergency when I hear a bunch of sirens.

I’m addicted to this game called Triple Match City. It’s like a Where’s Wally where you gotta beat the clock. Such fun.
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
No no no no no no I do not need to know about this. I will not look it up.
… how ad heavy is it?
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
No ads.

I’m so annoyed that I picked up the gardening, budgeting and cooking skills and was about to add foraging… but I got the chronic fatigue/disability and broken stomach debuffs. Severely limiting the personal advantages.
They all combine so well. If I hadn’t been stopped I would have been too strong

That sucks. Sorry to hear. Foraging sounds cool.
I have crohns and most of my hobbies are “outdoorsy” stuff. When I’m flaring I just wish I fkn loved video games and such!
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 1 hour ago
Yeah, video games and the internet do get a bit old after a while
Seagoon_@aussie.zone 7 hours ago
you are here, you are alive, you are smart and brave and strong
I don’t think much of anything could keep you down, just focus on one thing and one thing only
😘😘😘

Okay so I may have stayed up a bit too late watching Mentour Pilot on yt. This is satiating my aircraft investigations craving.
I have never felt safer on a plane now, honestly.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone 8 minutes ago
Looks interesting. It was a mistake watching these before I went on a plane though.
Next time I will watch them on the plane!
