Fell asleep on the couch last night, because the cat curled up on me.
Woke up, and he was snuggled in next to me, resting his little head on my knees. I can’t believe how much I love him.
He turns 6 next month, I’ll have to think of a delicious treat for him lol
How gorgeous are moments like that? Aw! I think it’s in Alfie’s DNA to just not snuggle without scratching, licking or biting. It drives me crazy. I’ve seen him curl up on Boyo’s lap twice without being a pain, otherwise he’s just so much!
Something has come up on the Guys podcast again that I still can’t believe is a thing:
Do you use the Cut Up method or Chop And Eat As You Go when eating food?
Apparently this causes a bit of culture shock amongst Americans, who like to cut all their food up at once then just eat it with a fork. Whereas Chop And Eat As You Go (as described by the OP they were reading from) is some weird European way of eating.
I guess I use a hybrid version. It’s as you go for the first part of the meal, then towards the end I’ll start focussing on making sure that everything is divided up into portions to make sure there is a bit of everything to go into each bite. I’m the opposite of the people who want all their food segregated and eaten separately, I want all meal components to have equal representation throughout the meal.
as you go
I am a grown ass adult, not some child
As you go. Food would cool down more quickly if all cut at first.
This was a point raised as well, especially for something like steak. You want it hot and to hold as much juice as possible
People actually do that? So you can eat like a toddler? Wtf? I do that for my dog because he sometimes forgets to chew.
That was the joke the other host that’s Canadian made. He said “I never do that, oh wait, yes I do, when I’m cutting up food for my child.” They had a guest on this week who said she cuts all her food up at once as well.
Today’s overnight oats were particularly delicious. Although I put so much fruit in them I’m starting to think I should refer to it as fruit salad with oats.
I have another dog story. YL went outside to the bins and all 4 dogs followed. Then when it was time to go back inside she found the door was locked and the dogs were already inside via the doggy door.
They were SUPER excited to see her head pop through that flap. There was licking, kisses, and jumping the entire time she crawled back through. 😂
That’s absolutely gold! I love they were excited for her though!
She’s one of them now. She has found her tribe.
So YL does house/pet sitting as a side gig?
Yes because it fits around her uni studies.
Something similar happened to me many moons ago when I was a lot more flexible - only 1 dog (mine) though. He was most perplexed that I was using HIS door.
Good morning. I’m doing annual compliance training
Is it actual training, or the ol’ " do you retain knowledge that was given to you five seconds earlier that will immediately fly out of your head once a new day dawns and be useless in a real life situation? Jolly good, we’ll tick the box" deal?
Ticky ticky boxes
Compliance with what?
I work for an insurance company. I see a lot of sensitive info about people. Full names, addresses, bank info, several sensitive diagnoses because it’s health insurance…
Yearly compliance = do I remember my legal obligations in handling this info correctly so we don’t have huge privacy breaches? Which memory hole do I shove it down when I’m done?
Day 4 of the Return Saga dawns…
Last time I logged into insta my feed was anti Zionist.
Today after 2 months of not logging in its a bunch of sad loser cunts complaining about women.
All the anti Zionist pages I followed are no longer in my feed.
I’ve never followed these pathetic incel cunts. So I guess this is social media manipulation.
The work account follows 200 people and has been around for years. If you scroll the feed you start getting those generic movie fact posts about 3 images in. Shit is cooked
I remember reading about a researcher that created fake insta accounts posing as a teenage boys to see what turns up, and the incel stuff showed up within 5min of scrolling. The social media giants know what keeps users engaged in each demographic. I reckon don’t engage with the posts and it will go away as the algorithm figures out it hasn’t caught you. Scary to know what other users are seeing though.
old people talk
so instead of panadol for my hand arthritis, which gives me headaches and makes me itchy, i’m trying nurofen
or maybe I can just put up with the mild ache
Even though it doesn’t contain dairy, paracetamol for some reason can be a cause of concern for those with dairy allergies. They are processed differently in the body, so it sort of doesn’t make sense, but people be peopling and not fitting in boxes. Be careful of your gut with nurofen and other anti inflammatory meds. And they will affect your blood clotting with long term use.
Is aspirin a possibility? Yes it’s a blood thinner, and can trigger gut issues, but it IS an effective painkiller. Not very fashionable atm though.
Paracetamol scares me - the gap between an effective dose and a dose that kills your kidneys is quite small.
I love aspirin but I bruise so easily
Nurofen is anti inflammatory and Panadol is only a painkiller, so it might work better anyway.
check out celebrex. It’s like ibuprofen but without the gut skinning
Maybe diclofenac?
