    Something happened a few years ago that really poisoned my view of being vulnerable around partners.

    Today I had my first psych session about dealing with it.

    I’m really proud of myself.

          Use the header syntax (# ) before the emoji. It’s also ‘H’ in the formatting toolbar.

        Mr Woof is at the other end of the house maintaining security. We’ve had a delivery to the front door and an auction over the road so he’s been far too busy to help me out.

            He has just been rewarded with a walk, the most valuable treat he knows. There will of course be cuddles availble this evening too, if he can tear himself away from the front room long enough to collect.

    Every morning I greet my little dog with “Good morning princess. Would you like breakfast?” And every morning he responds with a meow. We don’t care who hears us.

      Is that the one at Kew junction? I used to live near there many years ago, and it was a complete dive.

      Bboi Butters knows he can cook those at home for a fraction of the price

      Just had a look at the menu myself out of curiosity, it’s not in my neck of the woods so I’m unlikely to go anyway, but… wow. Ur Bois response is apt. I don’t know what irritates me more, the prices or the irregular sizing of the numbers on the prices throughout the menu.

    Another fun night of guitar. Came up with a really awesome part that’ll be great in another track that’s on the go. Once this one is finished it’s time to go back and do the vocals. Then I can start auditioning band members. Fun times!

    Have a great night everyone :)

    Just say your kid has gone out for the night (and overnight) and you find some special biscuits that have been in the cupboard for the past 2ish years would you give them a crack? Also would you wash them down with a large Coles express coffee even though you’ve already had two large coffees and a cup of tea today? Also if you were to experiment what comedies would you watch?

    Update: we ate the biscuits. Surprisingly still crispy but with a slightly out of date taste. Ah well let’s see.

          We watched it first like a year ago, and both my kids couldn’t get over how much Barb and Start resemble my mum. Hair and style.

          Super sweet movie, and seagull song had me howling.

      I’ve done worse with biscuits and a box of shapes.

      They develop a weird taste and sometimes putting a spread on them can help.
