The fluffy boi has been having testing on his kidneys, and the vet’s incidentally found a serious heart condition. Poor little chicken. More expensive tests that I can’t really afford to follow.
@underwatermagpies Try the Lort Smith animal hospital.
They will be lower cost and let you pay off the tests/debt.
I am sorry you are going through this, give fluffy boi lots of hugs.
agree and welcome Ami.
Lort Smith are so good.
@Seagoon_ Thank you ^^
gentle hugs
Another day, another job interview. Two this week, one that felt okay and one that felt pretty good - fingers crossed I get to the next stage with at least one of them!
Edit: second interview for one lined up for next week, yaaaay.
Good luck. Hope they go really well for you!
Good luck!
Woohoo! You got this
All the best mate, sounds like you killed it!
🤞
Losing the fight against some stupid broadleaf in the front yard lawn. MIL reckons I need to weed and feed it but a weekend 7 days after a mow but 7 days before the next mow with no rain is a bit much to ask for at the moment.
When I moved in the back yard was a dump. but what little kikuyu was there went nuts and within 2 years with basically no effort the kikuyu won and it now looks fantastic. Thinking I should just start transplant runners in the front yard and let it do its thing. Might take a few years but if it ends up half as good as the back yard I wont be complaining.
I’m amazed that people know the difference between grasses. Me - grass bad. Going back inside 🤧 Even fake grass wants to kill me.
I can tell the difference between indica and sativa.
Talent!
I leave it off the resume.
to be honest I thought it was a VERY different name. I only really remember cause my parents would encourage us to steal runners from our neighbors lawn that were coming through the fence to help it spread into hours.
I have the opposite problem… wish I could snap my fingers and the neighbours couch grass that’s invaded my place could be gifted to you
I thought it was couch too!!! But in our case kikuyu. And tbh it makes a fantastic lawn so letting its do its thing has worked out great for us. Doubt you could fight it and win if you wanted to.
Oh I can’t
Agreed with CEO grass is evil. How about some nice chamomile or stepable mint?
I use chemical warfare., broadleaf herbicide and it works well, but I’m not a gardening enthusiast so my word probably doesn’t mean much round here
yeah I have been trying that, but losing the war quite badly unless I wanna poison the whole thing.
I mean yeah, I wasn’t shy about using a lot of it.
My old man has been using Dicamba M recently which is a selective herbicide and it seems to be working so far. Not a fan of the shit but it’s not harming the kikuyu (unlike glyphosate).
I’ve just been going around with a mattock removing it by hand and filling the holes with soil and some lawn food. Only problem this way is the green bin becomes super heavy very quickly.
Sadly I’d be digging up half the damn lawn. That isnt a joke, it is EVERYWHERE.
I s’pose I better wear a raincoat if I don’t want to get rained on
When will people learn. If your rubbish bin is overflowing, the birds will come with their mates and scatter your shit all over your nature strip and if it ends up on mine I will go out there and relocate it back onto yours with a huff so use your limp wristed hands and push that shit down so the lid sits flush. Dickhead.
Ah godammit, my food was delivered to the wrong address, the driver didn’t supply a photo like they usually do so I couldn’t go hunting for my food and didn’t answer the phone when I rang. 1 star review for you, the first time I’ve ever done that. Replacement order on the way but for crying out loud!
Did you get your replacement order yet?
They immediately replaced the order and a guy drove it from there to here like he had Satan at his heels lol. The food was delicious, the chicken super crispy and tender on the inside and the sauces were beautiful 🤩
The inconsistency across baker’s delight sliced bread thickness is problematic. I need it THICC.
I thought we invented machines to solve this problem and it was meant to be the best thing ever
Um, buy a bread knife???
Tradie next door building houses having what sounds like a meltdown and is shouting loudly. Very good atmosphere for my sister who is WFH and on the phones, and me trying to scramble to finish assignments.
Shouting loudly? Nah that’s just normal tradie talk. Oi cunt. Turn the radio up. Love this song
I put the heater on. 🫥
I was cold in the morning because one of my layers had fallen off. Felt the chill.
Don’t blame you, it’s nippy tonight especially after the past few days of sweltering nights
Work so far has not been dreadful. I pray this continues
I need to remember to eat tuna /salmon or other oily fishylies tomorrow. This week has been really brain tiring and I have been starving the last couple of days. Always amazes my how much energy you burn thinking
hugs
how do Thai fish cakes made with green curry paste and coriander and spring onion sound?
Don’t skimp on self care when you need it most, easy said I know.
so many hugs and thank yous Peeler for your lovely supportive message on the other place 😭 It meant do much
thanks to everyone here 😘😭😘
Thai fish cakes sound bloody good. So glad you are back Goonsey (and that you never left peeler)
thanks, I missed you too
you take care , it’s the weekend soon and you can rest up 😘
here’s the fish cakes 🍥🍥🍥
Thankyou seagoon. I’m glad you’re back because I missed you, we all did.
I’ve lost my voice. And I’m running an event that requires me to basically talk all weekend. This’ll be interesting.
The Gisele Pelicot case really makes my blood boil. All these gutless, horrible men who really do think women are chattel and that their consent means less than a man’s entitlement to pleasure.
they would treat other men badly too except they only abuse those who are physically weaker than they are
also, how come Giselle’s doctor didn’t look after her? That puzzles me so much.
These questions here too.
I read this when it came out. Her husband, I have no words. No consent, the STDs… I am also in awe of her courage. I don’t think I’d be able to even leave a room let alone have contact with people ever again.
What a fucking pig of a husband. I don’t even know what to say. That poor woman, and her courage
Edit: She obviously wasn’t moved to another location but would this count as something similar to human trafficking?
If those complete and utter POSs thought they were taking part in a sex game, then maybe the game wasn’t sex so much as domination, and the whole point was the absence of the power to choose. Which to me indicates a very frail and fragile sense of their own masculinity. The husband should be executed imo. Preferably by lethal injection.
| Preferably by lethal injection.
Or tied to an anthill
I just read up on it because I was unfamiliar with the case. Good lord what a poor brave broken woman. The husband admitting guilt is of little comfort. What a hideous POS.
I’m doing all of the positive things but man life sucks. It’s like wading through molasses. On an incline. And then sliding back
theres a real “back and forth” feeling lately. was standing in the shower earlier and sort of realized I feel like im taking the hit of each wave rather than riding them atm. Feel like a lot of us are doing that after covid.
If anyone would like a pretty chill career change, get familiar with the CMS Drupal and hit up recruitment agencies to become a ‘Digital Content Specialist’.
It’s free and open source. You could buy some web hosting and install it through cPanel, then do enough Youtube courses to put it on your resume. All Victorian Government websites are on Drupal, and so are some Federal ones. You might be able to get a plush gig copying and pasting content from word docs to websites.
That’s so good of you to post that.
Used to work with Joomla, but that was aeons ago.
Wouldn’t mind switching back to a plush gig. (Have a bit of a jack of all background that always is hard to put on paper, but easier to chat about. Might be a bit too out of the loop these days.)
That’s where a decent recruiter can be really helpful. You talk to them and put your background in context and then they can advocate for you.
I’ve been placed by the recruiter that got me my upcoming role a couple of times. I had a 15 minute teams call with the client and they decided to pick me off that
