good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
Anyone else dislike mint as a flavour? Like, peppermint or spearmint chewing gum or tic tac, or toothpaste, minty ice cream, and god damn it keep it away from my chocolate.
I don’t mind it as the herb or whatever, it’s just the flavouring.
Yep. It burns. My 12yo is the same.
Yes! I’d be very happy never to taste mint again.
At one point when I was growing I had some fruit flavoured toothpaste which was much nicer, I don’t know why mint has to be the standard.
Are peoples cats sleeping longer during winter or is mine just lazy lol
I am a cat and I am sleeping longer
Mickey has just been very needy, if we’re moving around he gets angry and starts swiping my legs until I sit down and let him in the oodie or on my lap/chest. He’s been sleeping on our bed as well, when during summer he’d be in one of his cubbies or stretched out on the floor.
Gibson has been really needy as well. Anytime I’m in the studio she comes over and rubs all over my legs lol
the meowing from Bill has increased
and the boys are sleeping upstairs in the living room now because I leave the heater on up there
It’s hard to tell. Miss Meow may have increased from 97% of the day to 98%.
I think they all get a bit lazier as the weather cools off.
Fresh off the tree ready for dehydtation then in a few hours… chilli powder:
Gonna bring some tm.
Fuck I love south park. The other one that kills me is the one with Brittany Spears missing half her head. Okay, that sounds terrible when written, and it is, but it’s also funny
The other fave of mine is manbearpig. They apologised for that but that was fuckn’ funny.
Manbearpig is gold, I like they fixed it, but it’s still great! I adore the Randy being Lorde plot, I still say “yah yah yah I am Lorde” when idle 😂
Saw the cat. He was kinda following me but by the time I got ready he was gone. Little shit.
I should have just made the RSPCA report.
why so angry
Because I’ve gone through a decent amount of distress and disruption (not to mention expense) as a result of his ‘visits’ and don’t even get the chance to help him.
spoiler
When I saw how rough he looked I took pity on him and fed him despite it upsetting my own cat.
I first discovered that he’d infected me with ringworm in Melbcat’s last week, right before she went into hospital for the last time and died. So instead of being able to relax with her before that I was frantically laundering everything to protect her health while she cried for me to come to bed. I came back long enough to settle her and then went back to working.
Then I had to upend my entire house and deep clean the spores instead of having the time to mourn her. The infection still came back.
Then he was crying at my door on a rainy night so I removed all traces of her trying to get everything put in the other room and to create a warm dry space indoors if he needed one. I was stressing about finding him a safe home.
Now he decides he’d rather do whatever he wants rather than be treated. And his shitty owners just don’t care that he’s out after curfew, sick and infectious, and hunting native birds.
And if he comes back the potential for him to reinfect me or my house still remains.
Screw me for caring I guess. This has made a hard stressful time even harder. I think I’m done trying to help anyone for a while.
Hon, you’re raging. It’s normal. He’s not the cause.
It’s not his fault (it’s the owners) but it was a really shitty thing to go through right before and after my own cat died.
I really didn’t need any of this.
so many hugs
I know hugs
so many hugs
and he’s just a cat, he can’t read your mind or understand your words, if he could he would know you have a heart of gold
If he wants to stay away and reject help he can do that. I’m so sad and tired.
I avoided going into animal rescue or the veterinary field because I wasn’t able to tolerate seeing the inevitable neglect and abuse. But one day if I’m ever in better shape I might volunteer to foster.
After Melbcat I do have experience and skills with animals needing specialised care.
I know I’ve been asking for advice a lot on here, so I just wanted to thank you all for your thoughtful replies and for being here <3
<3
Inner North Brewery, 3pm tomorrow. Be there or not lol
Should be hanging out there for a number of hours :)

Well the RSPCA were useless :/
I can lodge a welfare report but either they talk to the owners which will land me in the shit and likely nothing changes, or there’s a slim chance of him being taken away. Neither are great outcomes.
The other alternative is I talk to them but in my experience they won’t take it on board. They tend to just get defensive or hostile and don’t change.
Or I confine him for 2 weeks to ensure treatment and then release him hoping he’s healthy enough not to contract it again… but that’s dicey as legally he’s someone else’s property.
Fuck I hate neglectful owners. They’ll allow a situation to develop where their animal is unwell and/or causing problems to others but you’re the bad guy and you’re the problem if you do anything about it.
wooo Kodi auto-update monitoring scripts written, set as services, running every 60 seconds.
… now to see if they blow out the jumpbox or fileserv
Looks like they’re putting the elevator in next door. Single dwelling, 4 (I think?) stories. I dunno but it’d just feel weird getting in an elevator in your home (unless mobility concerns etc.). I have no idea what sort of person would live in that sorta place. Thankfully it’s to the south.
Renderings are up… Fuckn’ wild:
What I find most absurd is the fact this that an under-construction private residence has its own website
Spending that amount of $ you’d probably want some say in the design. These guys just build it then see who bites I guess. Risky model imo.
This just looks like any other new build in a upper-class area, extremely boring. And I’m guessing some heritage home was knocked down so we could have this beauty? Money doesn’t buy taste.
Having lined parking spaces in your own garage, what a luxury
Yup. No soul at all.
I just don’t understand why
gyaaah. aiming for caviar and cocaine but landed on fish fingers and fentanyl
lol
This is gold lol
That joint has less personality than a shopping centre.
The way I recoiled in horror at that street front.
Bought new slippers, as a pressie to myself. Also had some nice pairs, but none in my size, until I saw the perfect pair! Last one in my size too!
pink fluffy slippers
Bit of a rough morning.
Chilli powder yesterday went well. 8 hrs @ 60c in the oven. Air purifier maxxed out lol. End up breathing it in, and then also it goes through 2 latex gloves and absorbed through skin. Stuff is pure fiyah.
Gonna do another batch today as some weird form of self flagellation. Gonna keep the windows open for this one.

The cooler weather means Mickey is way needier.
his beans and belly were kissed muchly
Pleased to hear you are keeping up with your legal obligation to squidge them beans. Your dedication has not gone unnoticed by corporate.
I, for one, welcome our catporate overlords and their bean duty.
Kisses atop his furry little head from me, please.
Deal!
first
have sore throat, will sleep more
I’m feeling a bit ucky myself today. Called in sick and went back to sleep for a bit.
The nice thing about calling in sick on a day I expected to work is that all my meals are already prepped. As an extra bonus if I need it I have all those jars of chicken soup I made a few weeks ago ready to go.
🖐🏻 sore throat club checking in…me too
Half my team is down today with one lurgy or another…why can’t it ever be easy.
