Congratulations upon existing.
Existing officially.
Congratulations! You now have a piece of paper that says that you are allowed to be. Cherish the moment.
You officially exist! Woohoo!
Happy birth certificate day! 🎉
Man she was pissed when I dared wake her up so I could have some space on the bed. The nerve of me.
Mrs’s cat came over and went “I want a pat… wait, your not mrs B! Wait… is she around? Can she see us? hmmm, ok, you may pat me but ONLY if you dont tell her I am cheating”. Her cat and I have a very complicated relationship.
The thing I love the most about cats, and maybe Gibson in particular, is the sheer fucking audacity and attitude for a ball of fluff that is literally 1/20th my size.
Zero fucks given. “I do what I want, when I want and too fucking bad if you don’t like it. If you try to stop me in any way, I will make your life miserable for as long as I deem necessary”.
I respect the confidence lol
My Pepper has that confidence. All 3kg of her, and it’d only directed at me. Every one else gets lovey Pepper, I get spicy bitch cat! I still love her, and suffer multiple scratches from trying to show her how much.
Spicy bitch cat 😂 😂 😂
Her nickname is Pepperoni. There is also a home made song about her being the spiciest of all the sausage cats.
😆
My cat was lounging on the window sill in the sun the other day when he decided my pot plant was an affront to him and he punted it onto the ground. So yea, I agree with your assessment and no it’s not just Gibson.
So I think we solved the mystery of the rabbit: a tiny hole has been discovered by Miniest on the fence line. Last night Mr P heard someone next door calling something before the rabbit disappeared again. The neighbours must have gotten a rabbit at some point and put/built a hutch on the other side of the fence, perhaps using the fence as a wall of the hutch 🤔🤦🏼♀️ After a couple of visits this morning (it wasn’t happy Mr P had rearranged things in his man cave; it’d started making a cozy little spot for itself under his couch near the warmth of the heater) Mr P said he’s going to block the hole. I’ll pop a note in their letterbox telling them what’s happened and suggesting that they reinforce their side of the fence where the hutch is.
Had a mate whos neighbors had a rabbit they just couldnt contain. The thing was like Houdini. No matter how hard they tried it would always escape. A different neighbors kid apparently went to their parents as were like “mummy mummy, there is a loaf of bread in the front yard! now a bird is attacking it!” It survived that one. It sadly didnt survive the neighbour with a greyhound. The greyhound owners were super apologetic, the rabbit owners were upset but said “we tried so hard, but we knew this day was gonna come, unless we kept it chained up this was gonna happen”.
We briefly owned a rabbit when I was younger. The next door neighbour packed all her stuff up and moved to Perth and couldn’t be bothered bringing most of her animals. She had a rabbit, 3 cats, and 2 dogs. She took the dogs and left the rest. Mum assumed the RSPCA would probably put them all down (they were all getting old), so we ended up with most of them.
The rabbit was absolutely dark magic. It got out twice, and we ended up building a little rabbit-run for it with chicken wire and wood. But we didn’t do a good enough job, and it snuck out the corner. Everytime it ran away, it ended up in the yard of some kids down the road. Eventually mum decided it was too difficult and asked their parents, and then the rabbit became the kids problem!
That’s what worried me too… one of the neighbours has a hunting breed of dog, bunny would’ve been toast if it’d gone to that yard instead, and there are heaps of tall trees with ravens and magpies.
Yeah, apparently the greyhound owner went over and warned them before it went down. Something like “I know your trying, but just to be clear if you rabbit escapes into my yard, it wont be escaping again. Sorry, but there is nothing I can do to prevent it”.
Poor Magic Bunzorr(ette) :(
I had a pet rabbit once upon a time. He lived inside with me and my partner.
His name was Totoro and he had floppy ears.
Miss that little dude.
The question is block the hole before or after the rabbit hides under the couch.
I actually forgot there was a public holiday this week. What a nice surprise
A Friday too!!!
Best day of the week to have off.
Interview went well! Hopefully hear if I’m onto the next stage tomorrow. Will also include a practical test, but let’s see what happens! Thanks for the good vibes, peeps!!
Sitting in an online meeting and we’re on our 4th presenter. Every single presenter has made a point of doing an acknowledgement of country. It’s beginning to lose it’s meaning.
Today, or I guess yesterday, was such a nice day. Not a huge fan of this new day we’re doing with cold and rain again, though.
it’s the hay fever 🤧🤧🤧
Really awkward time to wake up feeling fully rested and refreshed.
There’s nothing like having a nice relaxing bath with… an audience and running commentary. I provided the entertainment now they need to make me a cuppa tea.
Audience and running commentary?
What were you doing? A bathtub performance?
Did you at least score 9s?
They owe you a cuppa for sure.
Just doing the usual things you do in a bath in privacy of your own home. I don’t know about the score but I got recommendations of beauty products.
Did the house pets also sit in the audience?
Yeah. They set up camp on the mat then the little one tried to get in with me. I replied “This is a one woman bath my friend”.
Do people honestly breeze through life living safe and carefree? I just can’t. Way too many bad things have happened to me to live in such a delulu state.
I was in Footscray a while back and my husband said “we’ll cross here” and I said “no we won’t” and we kept walking. He understood I saw something he didn’t. So if you’re talking about personal safety yeah some people walk through life unfazed and for some of us (most women) have our eyes and ears open at all times whilst outside.
I’ve been in Foots for eight years now. Totally seen some drug shit, but the unsafest I’ve ever felt had nothing to do with any of that. Boyo on the other hand has had repeated and frequent mugging attempts and is totally fed up. They really shouldn’t try that, he hits fight mode at explosive speed and does not play nice.
We were walking through the mall? and I noticed a derro on the other side asking just the women who were walking past a question and getting angry at their response. It’s not my stomping ground so my senses were a little more heightened than usual.
I feel like the sleazy types have become bolder since the pando
At the moment the ones to look out for serm to be a young guy begging at the main atm (total scam) snd one near the station slapping fake spiders off people to cop a feel
Oh dear. Thanks for the heads up.
No. Or rather, not all the time. I’ve had some baaad shit when I was younger which was largely of my own making, but have come now to a safe haven. Which I will defend with my life. I intend to live long enough to be a nuisance to my younger relatives. It will be good for their souls if they have any such thing. This should not be difficult I think.
It depends what you choose to focus on.
If I let what I’ve experienced be my focus I would dig a hole and lay down in it.
From my perspective, I do my best to never let any of the negative stuff I’ve experienced stop me from living the life I want.
I fail often. But I never give up. We may not be able to change the things that make our lives harder, but we can still live our lives on our own terms.
Edit: We can’t let our pain define us.
even people who live a financially secure life can have bad things happen. Illness, accident, bereavement, interactions with bad people, victims of crime, natural disaster could happen, war
Like Pilk said, the middle path is best. It can be a struggle tho to remember that bad times are usually short lived,
But more than that …
I’ve read whole books on this, philosophy and psychiatry books. People who live best are those who have stable healthy relationships with friends and family . This helps them cope with adversity and brings extra joy in good times.
You come across as a naturally pessimistic/depressive person. There is absolutely a middle ground between that and delusional optimism.
😂😂
Per Buddhism, Sickness, ageing and death are universal sufferings, everyone experiences them. The First Noble Truth is that All life is suffering. There’s no escaping it. Sure some people have what appear to be easier lives, but everyone is suffering. The theory is that we get to choose how affected by that suffering we are.
I sure don’t.
It’s true that some people have an easier path. It starts right at birth, eg born to good family, no serious health issues, no disabilities, born into a safe neighbourhood, opportunities at a good school, etc. Or unlucky to get all the opposites. And then stuff happens in life, a lot of which we can’t control. The good and bad stuff is not evenly distributed. Some people get lots of good, some lots of bad, most of us get some of each. All you can do is make the best of the cards you’re dealt. That’s it. It’s normal to be more cautious and pessimistic if you’ve had a lot of bad stuff happen. The trick is to find ways to move forward, and say to yourself each day is a new day.
Migraine. Agony.
Just found out a neighbor (man in his 60s) was being love scammed. Relatives have been warming him for six months it’s a scam.
Now he’s spent all of his savings and he’s been evicted.
I have some sympathy, but I can’t help but think his pig headedness is a big contributor here.
Happened to my FIL and it wasn’t even over the internets. Real life.
She even forged his will.
Regarding your neighbour’s pigheadedness. The scammers target people with those personality traits, they test for it.
I’m curious - what are the personality traits and how do they test for it?
ignorance, pigheadedness, gullibility, sexism.
They will look like an obvious scammer so it weeds out the ones who know about scams.
They tell obvious lies and see if the other person will let the lie pass. They test to see if the victim, if male, is sexist, a sexist victim doesn’t think they can be outsmarted by a woman. They play victim. They flatter. etc etc
Interesting. Well I just found out this guy has been scammed by a phillipino woman before. Guy bought the woman a farm in Thailand then she dumped him.
So this is actually round 2 for being scammed. At this point I want to believe it’s some kind of mental illness.
It would take a certain personality to believe that a random international internet stranger who is much younger, very good looking, flirty and generous with flattery would develop an instant adoration and sexual attraction for someone they’ve never met.
I think there might be a subgroup of victims who fall for it out of loneliness, even if they may suspect something is not right they continue because it’s respite from their loneliness. But sounds like your neighbour is not in that group, and just has a lot of ego.
Sometimes people are just very lonely. Combine that with naivete and pride and you have a very vulnerable person
…pakidge…
Ran out of monthly audiobook hours on spotify half way through listening to Reaper Man (part of an ongoing quest to finally read/listen to all the Terry Pratchett books). But I had a voucher for amazon from a stuffed up delivery so I bought an actual book copy because it’s probably my favourite so far.
Is it an RDO in the construction sector today? Not a single ford ranger on the roads.
Rain predicted, plenty of sites will be shut. Cause you know…if one trade can’t work, none of the others can either.
Does make for a pretty lonely circle jerk of only the sparkies show up I guess…
I’ve worked on building sites where even sparkies were stood down due to rain. I’m hugely pro-union (reasonable union) but that was taking the piss a bit.
