Made a thread for tomorrow! It’s nice and early, because I am going to sleep. Goodnight all :)
About h to o ditto. Where is the floomph shop?
Good night. 😘
Mental health wise I’ve been in real crisis for the past couple of weeks but I seem to have come back from the brink somewhat.
Is it weird that I don’t remember large chunks (think years) of my childhood?
Glad to see you back 💜 I noticed your absence but wondered if you were just lurking 💜
I'ma place this under a spoiler just in case
I also am missing a lot from my childhood, but that’s the cptsd. Trauma tends to cause a repression, though I assume you know this. Please don’t take me saying this, as telling you what’s up. That’s just my experience.
Also, I do think some memories do fade naturally anyway, especially as we age.
I hope things take a turn for the better for you WS 💜
It’s interesting because a lot probably is suppression but I don’t know how much is just due to old age.
memories do fade and change with age.
Most people forget childhood memories. Having photos can trigger memories. Also, if you’re a smoker I’ve found it dulls childhood memory. When I quit and get my sense of smell back it triggers memories. Early life memories are strongly linked to smell.
Found a backpack in the front garden today and these are the contents
Most of it I understand and it obviously belongs to someone with not so very good intentions. You’ve got syringes, keys, tools, gloves, hammer, crowbar etc… but a TV remote (and no TV) and a pair socks has me fairly perplexed.
Don’t need this right now but as they say bad luck comes in threes just waiting for #3
The remote may be a generic one used to see if it opens garage doors to get into houses. The gloves, tools and more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins.
I know a neighbour had an intruder a few years ago and when they got arrested cops found the person had stolen his keys. So that’s probably it. They might take them intending to come back.
The socks may be used to tie the arm off for injecting, or a spare pair. But with the filters and syringes there it’s probably the former.
Baffled by the plug in light (is that what that is?) but maybe it’s hands free lighting that wouldn’t be too bright.
Perhaps the cops might like a look but not sure what they can do if nothing has happened yet.
Perhaps you might like to babysit a nice loud doggo for a little while til things are less sketchy.
Edit: Security camera is also a great idea if possible
more keys than one person could reasonably own do suggest break ins
Yeah my thoughts too.
The plugin light is an odd one.
i’m intrigued by your TV remote suggestion I’ve never heard that’s a thing jeez.
I think I will hit up the local police see what they make of it all.
thank you kindly for your suggestions :)
This was still bugging me so I looked it up. Yeah that’s likely a universal remote (works on tvs dvd players and other things) which can also be synced to garage doors by the owner.
I think old mate possibly racked it from someone’s car.
No worries, I don’t know if any of it is fact but you hear or read things.
I really hope you stay safe
The socks might be for deadening the sound of the hammer breaking something. I too reckon it’s time to borrow Hambam for a week or two. Or even Butters - who is quite capable of sneering a burglar to death imo.
Bastard stole someone’s remote
Hope you’re doing ok and your mum is feeling better, too
and your mum is feeling better
Thank you. I’m hoping things stabilise over the next few days and a bit of vision is restored but it’s hard to know right now.
Been looking everywhere for that backpack so thanks mate, lemme know when it’s cool to come prick back up!
And I reckon your #3 will be you winning the RSL and having to move to QLD ❤️
Impressive burg kit. Even comes with 2 needles. Jesus.
Worrying… sounds like it’s time for hambam to come help guard the joint for a bit (if he’s up for it). I hope you don’t get that unlucky trio
When I saw it I thought ‘well that not usual’… opened it up ‘hrmmm’.
Hambam would probably just grab his ball and wait for the throw :)
The plug in light thing is a night light.
That’s an old school remote. Can be used for TV and blu-ray (although the blu-ray remote looks a little different) and it can still be used for newer Samsung TVs. Perhaps it’s been modified for opening garage doors or something.
Goodnight everyone, sweet dreams.😘😘😘
The new switch to video feature on Spotify is pretty cool. The way it switches to exactly where the audio track is playing in the video on command. Probably a gimmick I’ll get over but for now, I’m enjoying watching music videos I haven’t seen for ages (or never seen).
Parts of the VCE exams were leaked this year as you could see some of the questions by highlighting the cover pages. I wonder if someone working at VCAA did that on purpose to see how long it would take for someone to find it.
why he gotta rest his head on my crotch (sfw dw lol)
Risky click.
Puss on puss action I guess 😂
Trying to watch s3 of only murders in the building, horrifically distracted by the fact selena gomez appears to be morphing into Adric
Hand picked from the fridge at Coles
You need to put them out in the sunshine, warm them up and makes them sweeter!
Definitely. I do that with tomatoes too. So much more tastier.
😂😂😂😂
Well, shit. My line up manager had been given the golden handshake. And the new line up manager is my previous boss who is probably the biggest asshole on the planet. soo… yeah I think its time to jump ship. the current direct manager stays the same, and I adore them but I’m just not prepared to work for the asshole again.
WHY are they doing this stuff in november ffs?!
Not the best time to start looking BUT a great time to polish up your CV and such.
Start spamming applications and you might get your foot in early in the new year.
Good luck!
Yeah but any time working for this prick is a bad time, so nothing ventured nothing gained. Just knowing I plan to leave makes it bearable, even if it takes a few months to land something. plus might be the fun to be a fly on the wall and watch shit go down. “manager” has no business managing. Be that his small team or half the damn department.
What role are you looking for?
I’d love an EUC/Cloud engineer role. Deep in the azure stack these days and frankly loving it. But I could take a step back to it coordinator or team leader if the conditions were right.
Solutions architects are desperately needed everywhere man.
Even better if you have az104 or any of the other Microsoft certs.
The leave relaxation has kicked in. Goodbye work, hello good times!!!
Im so fucking excited to get the car on Saturday. Maaaaaaan I think I’ll drive all night lol
Edit: sorted free entry and $350 of free drink cards at 3 clubs 😂 fuck yeah!
If you google “birthday specials” you’ll see a bunch of clubs that offer stuff for free on your birthday.
Even fluffy is getting in on the action:
winning 🙂
$350 of free drinks?! That’s dangerous (and fun).
that’s only 10 good drinks
35 awful drinks lol
10 buck shots. I think I’ll be legless lol
I hope you have a great time over the weekend!
Is that catnip on the floor?
Nah it’s kief he spilled 😂 jk
I think it is catnip based on Gibsons response 😂
Porridge! Featuring home grown strawberries and some fruit syrup I made.
Nice! I am hoping to replicate your stawbs success but so far I’m being outsmarted. I’m just hoping the chillies take off soon as that will be my sweet revenge.
My strawberries were thriving on being forgotten - I had some self-seeded lettuce going to seed in the tubs they are in, plus a radish going to seed flopping over from the garden next to them. Apparently that’s the way they like it because they have been quietly fruiting underneath all that. I’ve cleaned up the area a bit and put some mesh over the top of them, hopefully they won’t decide that’s too much attention.
I’ve also got some raspberries ripening. They are a bit of a pain because they ripen one at a time on each stem, and I have to cover each stem with a bag to keep the birds off. So every day I have to remove and replace a bunch of bags to get a small handful of raspberries. When I move I will definitely be investing in a proper cage so I can cover the whole plant.
yum! How are your strawberries ready? I thought we were supposed to plan them the other weekend?
Simple, I planted them last year!
oh cool, do they last that long? I just assumed they would die off at the end of the season.
2-3 years until the viruses build up and kill them. They winter over just fine if you mulch them, or let Mother Nature do the mulching. Also, by the end of 2 years, all the local slugs & snails have them logged on their google maps so fruit quantity drops off dramatically unless you feel like being snailicidal.
Perennial, unless you’re like me and things keep stealing them.
Thursday. Nearly the weekend. Give me strength.
WHEW. I am tuckered. The house is starting to look a lot emptier, though!
Today's tasks were...
- uni meeting online
- misc admin (the REA still hasn’t arranged what time I’ll pick up the keys tomorrow… truly useless)
- Packing stationery
- Dismantling the bed frame and vacuuming so much dust underneath
- Filling in the holes from the blinds now removed (mostly my friend did it…)
- Dismantling the bookshelf
- Consolidated op shop clothes, books and shoes (which my friend generously dropped off)
- put the clothes and shoes to throw out in the bin
- MOVED OUT ALL MY OUTDOOR PLANTS (except for two heavy planter boxes) ;_;
Swung by MKS on my way back to treat myself to some takeaway curries for dinner.
Now my next big task is the kitchen items… need to juggle this against the timing of unplugging my fridge on Sun am.
That’s enough for today though I think. I’m proud of myself and endlessly grateful to my friend.
You are doing amazing 🤟
Yeah I pushed myself to pack up my monitors and other wfh items to try and get that big messy area out of the way.
I won’t have everything done by the time another friend comes over on Saturday to help with the main move, but at least that stuff can go.
Now I’m really done for the day! 😪
Due to popular demand I went out for groceries and petrol today.
Finally back home and settled.
Everything took so much longer today due to the massive traffic accident on the Nepean highway being blocked in 3 lanes.
Entry to car park of shopping centre was closed and escalator was borked.
Was too tired so I didn’t get to look at some stuff I wanted to and I didn’t get the potatoes. I’ll get them next week.
Anyway glad to be safely home with all the stuff happening and got my pakidge!
Getting home definitely feels so much more of a relief when you’ve had a shitty drive - time to kick back and relax and enjoy your long weekend now :)
Thank you.
You’ve also done such an amazing job with packing up for your move.
You deserve some rest and dinner as well!
Just cooking up some of those green leafy vegetables.
I’m not even sure what they are but they’re used in Asian dishes and have like little yellow flower spouts?
Chinese broccoli/kai lan?
Just googled. I think that’s it.
Spot on!
I do love that veggie, great choice.
I got a bargain on them. 1 bag of them for 2 bucks.
4 handful of bunches of them in a bag.
Whoa that’s pretty decent. Once I’m settled in the new place I might be able to do some veggie shopping on Victoria St and grab some discounts like that too
