Gooooood morning pumpernickel munchkins!

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

Good morning.

I slept thru the night. ๐Ÿ˜Š

[โ€“] SpinMeAround@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (7 children)

Seeing my mother today for the first time in over 5 years, so of course spent the night going over every possibly argument and guilt trip she'll pull up. However, am taking Boyo, who she hasn't met, so she'll certainly be on her best behaviour.

[โ€“] StudChud@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

Some mothers are just... Ugh!

Sending you good vibes!!

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

Hope all goes well for you. :)

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Big deep breaths. You are strong, capable, kind and loved despite her intentions to make you feel otherwise.

You don't have to see her for another five years if she's a dick about things.

She can make her own choices about how to behave...but if she chooses to be shitty then that has a consequence, and it won't be a reflection on you

Slept better than the night before last night. A win is a win.

Morning all. Iโ€™m off to the marketโ€ฆrequests?

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Berries please. Except ones named Logan or dingle.

I just purchased a single (1) sweet potato. It has the approximate dimensions of a newborn human

Very sturdy chewable for a teething puppy

Chew toy. Like dried pigs ears. Used to get goat horns for my old dog - lasted a long time and completely absorbed his attention - for days.

[โ€“] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can we get a pic of the sweet potato and a banana pls?

[โ€“] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Itโ€™s about a foot long

[โ€“] Eagle@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

If I manage to catch this chungas marsupial it will become slippers. There are zero leaves on my rose bush ๐Ÿคฌ unhappy rose bush

[โ€“] TheWitchofThornbury2@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Hang mothballs on the rose bush. Won't stop the snacking entirely, but will reduce it.

[โ€“] Catfish@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I've only got the cedar variety currently. Negative RAT shop pending

Deterring possums requires the old fashioned naptha ones. Which I reckon are horrible in the house but work quite well outside as pest control. They do melt in a lot of rain, but in dry weather last quite a while.

Saturday. Bloods drawn for next week's quack appointment, shopping done, laundry on the line. Time to head out for brunch and/or go to the nearest BWS to top up on booooze. Decisions decisions ...

PS. It's a lovely day out there.

Sprained my foot. I wrapped it because I'm not going to be goddamn bed bound today, pinky toe ligament be damned

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

take care of that

[โ€“] Bottom_racer@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Seems like everyone has hurt themselves in some way today, so I'll add to the pile.

Sharpened my chef's knife yesterday and promptly cut myself as you do. This morning though it's a really clean cut so the sharpening worked. Problem was I'd had a few glasses of wine before so it didn't look very pretty.

[โ€“] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago

I'm ok so far. ๐Ÿคž

also, those really clean cuts seem to close up nearly instantly

[โ€“] Taleya@aussie.zone 0 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Food poisoning, so of course everyone is inviting me everywhere today for things i really want to do (ice skating with seldom seen nieces, friends belated b'day because he's been caring for his mother after chemo, most likely last ever anniversary bash for local pub as their building is slated for demo)
