The way I've felt today I think I'm going to get this self imposed long weekend switched from AL to sick leave
feel better soon
( damn this seems like whooping cough )
Sure hope not! I've never totally gotten over what that did to me. ๐โ๏ธ
This one is outbursts from the other end. But I got whooping cough as a kid and I've never fully recovered
Thereโs so much in my life I need to get together and I donโt know where to start. ๐
Sometimes I tell myself I donโt have to do anything at all aside from basic sustenance and hygiene. It takes the pressure off and I end up somewhat productive.
just make it through the day alive
Five things. Pick fivw things. And size does not matter. Five dishes in the machine? Five loads of washing? All the same. ( and you can mix and match)

I did something really dumb last night and looked up Terrible Ex. Turns out he was working somewhere I walked past most days for multiple years. Never saw him but feel highly disturbed and itchy.
the ick is because it's possible he saw you ๐ฌ
Yes, and that I had no idea. Just a really unpleasant feeling I now need to find something to do with
I admit being watched without my consent is one thing that icks me very much and makes me angry

I found out how my husband gets Dan Murphy discounts and I thought I'd share it with youse. He goes into the app or website (that part is unclear. Forgot to ask) and places an order in the cart. Closes it up, waits until it times out (again I didn't ask how long) then goes back in and there's usually a message like Sorry your time is up. How about discount? something like that. I don't know if it will work for you or if it's because he's a regular customer.
And that's why I'm staring at 5 slabs of beer and 30 bottles of soju.
I do the same on ebay.
I found one of those scammy cunts who have no reserve and then fake bid up to your max and then after it's ended message you a second chance just over your max bid. After a couple of times on this item (just some stupid little duck figurines for an in-joke) I set a max bid of two bucks and let nature take its course.
ghost/shill bidders
it's illegal
report them
oh I did. After I got my two buck ducks
Abandoned cart recovery emails. They are implemented on a few websites but obviously requires them to have your email which has its own costs.
Explain that again like I'm 85.
7 out of every 10 times someone adds products to a shopping cart, they don't actually proceed with the payment.
Shopping cart software often has a feature called "cart recovery" that prompts people to complete their purchase if they are part of that 70%. (Edit: It often contains a small sweetener discount of 10% or free shipping etc.) However, it requires the customer to have at least put their email in during the checkout process they didn't fully complete.
It is common for these entered email address to be stored for marketing/spam emails. A bit of a grey area legally actually.
Oh right yeah. I know he has to put in a code (it's the same everytime) and that he has a separate special Dan Spam email account.
still not feeling great
might go upstairs to watch telly on the sofa, just comfort watching all three of The Hobbit movies, extended. I love the hobbit movies so much ๐ญ
Day 2 of the Snottening. Have consumed approx one-third of my bodyweight in tissues and am now down to swept bunkers on the tissue front. Not going to buy more (dead tree issues), so will start a Napisan bucket in the laundry for the hanky tsunami. I do need to buy more Vicks or similar.
check out the vicks shower steamers too. You can break them into pieces for shorter showers.
I'm a big fan of steam vaporisers with some vicks or Eucalyptus oils in them.
Tears were shed when Alfie was checked into his lodgings. By me, not the cat. He just gave me the look of betrayal.
Take me home, slave!
Cool name for a cool cat.
Surely he knows it's just for a little while?
It would be nice if they understood. I'm sure he'll be pleased when we're home again.
He was prenamed when Boyo got him as a kitten, Boyo thought it was a stupid name for a cat, but it suited him perfectly. He now has so many nicknames.
That stare...
So I've been trying to figure this out, but I've confused myself now so I thought I'd ask here. WhatsApp. Phone storage is almost full because of lots of media within multiple chats. I do an automatic online backup overnight. If I clear the media from my chats on my phone, I'm assuming this doesn't change the fact the same media is backed up online? Meaning, my next backup will not overwrite the old backup and erase the media? It'll just complement the existing backup by just adding the new stuff..... right?
I'd seriously double check that. Some "backups" are just mirrors of your phone's state
Exactly what I'm concerned about.... instructions unclear, will not complete yet
Daughter has her first official 'date' tonight. She's known the guy for a long time...and so do we. Grandson of one of the neighbours' (very nice people) and my missus went to high school with the dude's mum.
None of this will stop me from reenacting a very particular scene from Bad Boys 2 (if you know, you know).
My daughter's boyfriend lives in NZ. My husband likes to re-enact scenes from Once Were Warriors in the background when the boyfriend is on speaker phone. Make me some eggs betch etc.
It's the only way to be towards our Kiwi brethren
Of course. I like to yell out THE PAV'S OURS.
Cheers boys and girls ๐บ. Wish me luck at cards tonight. I plan on whipping his arse again hard like last week.
Kick ass, CEO!!
Airport Cheers!!
Cheers Spinny. Have an excellent adventure โค๏ธ๐บ

I just stumbled across someone on Reddit whose user name is a male version of my real name. They post in the Melbourne sub and have many overlapping interests. I am slightly concerned I have a multiple personality disorder I am unaware of ๐คฃ
