      I remember when I was about 10 years old, my mum gave me one of her scratchies and I won $20 bucks! I felt like a millionaire. I remember spending my winnings on a Monsters in my Pocket collectors set which had all the monsters in it. One of the best days of my life.

    My daughter found an photo (hard copy) of my old old cat from when he was a kitten.

    From memory this photo is exactly 30 years old.

        Might have been his first day with us. Very intimidated but settled in quickly.

        Later in his life he was missing a chunk of his ear and hospitalised a German Shepherd.

        This was just first impressions.

    Hello, I am alive. Still. Heheheh

    I am still trying to log in on my phone (jerboa app and chrome mobile browser), but I am not getting a reset password link. I also cannot reset my password on PC (where I am typing this from) without remembering my old password… which wouldn’t be necessary if I could remember my old password haha. I will keep trying, but if I am unable to reset my password so I can log in on my phone, I may set up a new, even more starchy, account.

    Anyway, I am currently working from home, smashed out a busy day today, never once looked at my phone until after work, when I saw I was summoned by my good friend PeelerSheila :D <3

    I will be available tonight on my PC :) I may need to work tomorrow, to help a colleague so I won’t be able to reply tomorrow (I need my monitors for work lol), but I am here now my fellow DTers, my favourite people. I truly love you all

    Edit: sorry if my tone is off, im kinda still in work mode bleeeeheheeheheheheehe lol

    His Lordship and I have decided to have an absolutely over the top compliment day. Made a cuppa? Oh what rapturous divine beverage crosses my lips you truly are a credit to teamakers and all their arts! You have fed those felines with the grace and deftness of Apollo himself!

    It’s delightful.

    Tonight I introduced the man to one of my favourite snacks. His beady little eyes lit up.

    That is buttered simit, peanut butter and a cheese to cleanse the palate.

    His words were “omg omg omg” (more than once) “I think you’re on to something” and “I need to buy some peanut butter to take to work”.

        As I don’t drink beer that seems like it would be a bad selection for me to put in it.

          I always knew them as a beer fridge. I think someone came along and said “No. That’s too bogan. We’ll call it a bar fridge”. Hahaha.

            I always think of a beer fridge as being the old fridge that was still running when you upgraded, so it got moved to the garage and used for beer. Whereas a bar fridge is a tiny little fridge you buy with the intention of storing beer in, then discover the shelves are all the wrong heights to store most drink bottles and you can’t fit enough in to manage even a small party, so you end up using the sink full of ice anyway. Although it was surprisingly acceptable as the only refrigeration I had when I first moved out of home.

          You should store your tequila in there. Tequila is lovely when it’s chilled.

            The only alcohol I have is some Chinese cooking wine, which won’t benefit much from refrigeration.

    Sooo a doordash driver either stole or forgot to deliver my drink and apparently doordash support is worse than basically anything else I’ve ever seen

    “Please allow me a moment to transfer you to the correct department”

    “Your chat had been disconnected. Thanks for using doordash! How do you rate this conversation?”

    Edit: after several escalations (9 transfers!) Old mate Kimberly told me I’ll receive a refund of $11.50 in 5-7 business days, even though nothing in my order was $11.50 and that’s certainly more than a bottle of coke, then said ““have a nice day”” (she quoted have a nice day) and disconnected
