Dog peed on the packet of toilet paper. It's not catastrophic by any means, but I'm curious as to why he did it. He did see his only dog friend before, so I'm thinking it may have been a territorial pissing.

It is. I'm sure to weigh only 20g out for the sanga.

I woke up feeling good. Nice dreams again.

just need more rest for my back

I have sorted why I've been feeling weird, it is long covid giving me a buzzy feeling, and traffic noise was making me confused, but knowing makes me feel like I can do something, so rest , cut coffee in half, take iron tabs

and am getting on top of organising everything ๐Ÿ˜ŠI've done all the hand sewing

I had a dream that I was late to my hairdressing appointment, tried to call an Uber but the driver(s) ended up being a total creep who tried to kidnap me, so I rang the hairdresser to let them know I was going to be really late and she went into a whole fascist rant so I cancelled the appointment.

Apparently I'm a bit worried about my appointment this afternoon.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

Good luck ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž

I don't think I am over jetlag enough to be WFH today. Deeply struggling and want to crawl off for a lil nap

Just as the universe made you out of stardust, you give a little bit of stardust back to the universe every time you fart.

My mum and dad made me and I don't think it was out of stardust.

They had sex. Real nasty, depraved... just NASTY sex.

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

An unusually high number of my family have their birthdays in early sept.

We gets horny AF 'round new years, I'll ya what

Last couple of days have been rough and I donโ€™t really know why other than particular dreams.

I just wake up in an almost panic.

Hopefully Iโ€™ll get the role Iโ€™ve gone for next week and itโ€™ll fade.

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

Work is defeating me today. I gotta pull myself back up and kick its ass.

I have rejoined the clan of the 4 eyed. Hopefully what I choose won't turn out ridiculous looking ๐Ÿฅธ

I havenโ€™t used Zenni or Specsavers (or whatever the best deal is these days) but if you donโ€™t end up liking it you can go cheap enough to get your prescription in a few styles?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

I got 2, totally covered by insurance and apparently I can change my mind for up to 3 months

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I got a Marc Jacobs pair of glasses, but I LOVE my horn rimmed sunnies. I specifically wanted hornrim because it reminds me of the way Gary Larson draws women

eg

I think it is fun to find a pair of glasses that represent your personality! You have to wear them all day in front of people, have fun with it!

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I tried some of those and they did NOT suit. Got some that match my silly hair colours.

I have cleaned. I have gymed. Now a pleasant afternoon of listening to the rain and binging Netflix to finish my show before it leaves

Perth baristas wouldn't know what a good coffee was even if it slapped them in the face. I have to ask for 4 shots to make it taste like an actual coffee.

We're so spoiled in Melbourne.

[โ€“] MeanElevator@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They've got hard water there too. Unless they're softening it, could affect the taste as well.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

Yep, partner and I are very much missing our delicious Melbourne water that we can drink straight from the tap. Almost everyone here has a filter for a reason haha

I think the baristas use too much milk in the coffees they make, to offset the hard water taste.

The LCD Steamdeck is on sale at the moment. I would almost consider it if I didn't kind of have that space covered with a handheld and a laptop running Bazzite. The OLED screen is meant to be really good and worth the extra price.

I should know all this because I bought my girlfriend an OLED Steamdeck but she only ever plays it plugged into the TV

Got a clean bill of health from my doctor. I knew last week that I was ok but we went through everything today.

Itโ€™s a relief :)

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

good news, so many hugs

Had a very interesting discussion today with some person referred to me who is trying to undercut my business pricing by more than 50%. Saying some other business gave them a significantly cheaper quote, but conveniently couldn't name who they were. Are you getting a like-for-like service? Are you getting the same expertise? It's not just about the $$ - too-good-to-be-true price means cheap, corner-cutting service and cheap outcomes. I was smelling bullshit anyway. Said no thank you to matching the ridiculously low price.

[โ€“] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

Competing on price is just a race to the bottom. Let this person get the cheapest service he can find then see if he comes back to you later looking for some real support.

You have to consider your time as well and whether it's worth it for you.

tasting paddles at Rocky Ridge Brewery

Sadly my number 14 (Fucktangular) was replaced by Turning the Thaid - not sure what it is but it's delicious

https://www.rockyridgebrewing.com.au/busselton-taphouse/

My favourite is I'm the Moon (Irish stout) and Rock Candy (sour)

Edit: they have a taphouse on Barkley Rd Brunswick, so we're going there when we get home too lol

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 11 months ago

Nice. ๐Ÿ‘
