Miss Meow’s unused climbing poles should also be heading off soon to be destroyed by another cat that really enjoys scratching them to pieces.

Some dude on the escalator at Spencer Street just farted in my face. Pure, unadulterated methane right on my inhale.
I feel sick 🤢
bacon@aussie.zone 10 months ago
light it up
mysticgreg@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Especially with the price of methane these days, what a waste.

Lovely sunrise, hot air ballons over Carlton, biridies are up and cheeping, Bill and Ted are patiently waiting for breakfast.
I miss the Young Seagoons already. They fill the house with so much love and joy 😭

Up at 6am for the “cat trying to puke on carpet sprint to the tiled floor”. Grrr

According to auspost there is no driveway and even if we had one it would not be safe to use at any time of the day.
well 1) I’m standing in it right now and 2) I got six pages (now) of logs from aramex, fastway pet circle, tnt, temu, couriers please, budget direct, amazon, soilworx, civic, eco247, DHL and indeed, Auspost yourselves that says you are fulla sheeeeeet

Doing my best to stay out of this “doctor killed in home invasion” and “Old man pushed into water” stories. Not doing a good job, I admit… but man what is going on here lately?! Be interesting to see how this plays out politically. Andrews would’ve already called a presser, announced another well-meaning-but-ultimately-useless-taskforce. If Libs had half a brain cell to share between them they’d be attacking the Allan government on being soft, and I hate to say it but that’d be a pretty easy picture to paint at the moment.
Taleya@aussie.zone 10 months ago
crime ain’t upticking. Reporting of crime in sensationalised ways is. The fact you went straight to the politics of it is your answer as to why.
Pilk@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s also a classic example of the availability heuristic.
Two notable youth crime events happened recently; therefore, youth crime must be increasing. It’s a non sequitur. But it does unfortunately work on the populace – and has since time immemorial.
danwritesbooks@aussie.zone 10 months ago
It’s not the government though? It’s a judicial issue.
TinyBreak@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Correct. But government write the laws. They invest or ignore public housing or rehabilitation programs, drug policies.
SituationCake@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I find it depressing. Yeah I know they are young, but there are zero real consequences for their actions, the kids are probably laughing and boasting of their horrific acts thinking they are top shit. It’ll be a slap on the wrist, released on bail and free to go do some more pushing off piers, bashing, robbing, murdering. Our government has decided this is acceptable because it’s not happening in their own back yards, so there’s no plans for rehab programs, penalties, interventions etc. It’s awful.

Melbourne/Australia just seems to be getting more feral.

-34 minutes from smoke detector person’s eta. Will they make their 2 hour window or will I chuck a tangy and put the chain on the door?
SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Electrical check person showed up 6 minutes early yesterday! I mean, they’d had to cancel last week, but still, will take a win!
Catfish@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Early might mean no pants! 15 min left. I know it’s not the tech’s fault, it’s the bloody offshore schedulers but GRUMP.
Catfish@aussie.zone 10 months ago
9:57 HA! Also defeated statistics by not being under 30 and a Kiwi.

Definitely feeling the mileage today. And that’s without taking one of the clients to Oakleigh for escorted shopping. 😂.
In other news, the cops asked me yesterday if I had a spare key so they didn’t have to call in a locksmith, so I took it down to where the car’s being held and had a chance to look at it - it looks fine from the outside aside from missing number plates. They’ve taken a few things that were inside the car including the bluetooth thingy, but I couldn’t tell if the radio was still there.
Just gotta wait for forensics to go over it, and then the insurance company will get it and go over it, and then all being well I get it back!Llabyrinthine@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Ugh, I’m just wiped. I haven’t been consuming the best food for a few weeks and it’s starting to rear its ugly head. Gyah. Sads.
I just want the microwave from 5th Element. I feel this would partially solve my problems. Hehe.

Last night was a rough one. I got up to pee, then Melbcat was sick on the carpet a few hours later, then she was fussy and got me up to sort her biscuits out a few times.
This morning she was straining for a little pee so I need to try and get a sample or sort a lift to the vet :(
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
I caught uber pets to the vet today if that helps. Hope she feels better soon ❤️
melbaboutown@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Thanks. I’m not doing crash hot myself so I’m hoping to get a urine sample at home to drop off.
I’ve prepared the trays in a way that’s let me get a sample before - now we wait. 🤞
Gibsonisafluffybutt@aussie.zone 10 months ago
Vet is giving Gibson some pain relief just in case she hurt herself, but there’s nothing outwardly wrong.
However, I have to sedate her in advance next time as she was rather unhappy with the vet…

Cat pee talk
Melbcat hates the special beads so I got the urine sample by sprinkling a handful of litter pellets into all the cleaned trays - just enough for her to feel it under her feet, but so little that the pee pooled on the plastic. I hope they accept it in a small new plastic container and gathered with an old but washed and boiled syringe. Kind of got caught short here. I’ll ring and ask, see if I can drop it off in tomorrow morning. It’s annoying that it happened after closing time because being refrigerated might create crystals and maybe make it less good for analysis

anyone have the good word on where to buy a (good quality, nice looking) sofa bed? must be a good sofa AND a good bed, but emphasis on the sofa part. I also want to be able to see & sit on it before I buy it. Price not really an issue.
CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 10 months ago
GO BACK TO BED! This is getting repetitive now.
