Looking at floss on Kmart site, see a pet toothpaste that claims to contain fluoride. Isnโt that dangerous? Turns out yes, yes it is. The more you know. https://www.hillspet.com.au/pet-care/routine-care/dog-and-cat-toothpaste-and-toothbrushes

I was looking at some random streetview addresses today and have a serious question.
Who put a pole there?
Mini roundabout. Could increase traffic flow.
I sort of feel like a streeet with four houses in it shouldn't need traffic management solutions. But if you do then using a pole just means you are missing the opportunity for a small garden bed.
A genius who knew someday that's gonna be used as a wicket by the kids in the street.
That would be a good option. Especially as it probably dates back to the days before everyone was issued a wheelie bin.
I reckon the pole was there first then they put a suburb there.
I've had a look at a few other courts in the area - all of them have a pole in the same spot. It appears to be a deliberate design choice.
Must be the same company that made the Corner Hotel
Must be the work experience town planner.
The bathtub is burping, guess adulting is required today
Do you ever think there's more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?
Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
There was a moment last night, when she was sandwiched between the two Finnish dwarves and the Maori tribesmen, where I thought, "Wow, I could really spend the rest of my life with this woman".
I think the operative word here is 'ridiculously'. I can't actually say based on personal experience. You?
It's hard to put my experience into perspective... I've always been like this y'know?
Not really no.
Love this movie.

Theres some consternation about the new blanket.
Its because they're dog paw prints!
my exact thought!

Now there is acceptance.
I think I will spend the day watching LOTR and The Hobbit movies.
or maybe I should watch all the star wars movies
okely dokely, going upstairs to watch The Last Jedi
One of my resolutions this year is to not rewatch any movie I have already seen. I have slipped once or twice, but for the most part itโs been super enjoyable.
some movies I study carefully
others are comfort
but I have never seen the last jedi
watching some of return of the jedi, damn , i know it's a kid's movie but compared to The Mandalorian it's just not good in any way
Bulk roasting veg, yaaaaay
So the MIL never got her car serviced and now it's completely fucked. The dishwasher also isn't draining. You know damn sure I'm trying to get that dishwasher to drain because I don't want to have to get a new car AND a new dishwasher
Speaking of movies, I took receipt of this handsome edition of โA Masterpiece in Disarrayโ an oral history of David Lynchโs Dune movie. I think Iโm one of a half dozen people that actually loves this movie.

I too am one of the half dozen
Cranking The Wiz and zero regrets
ok, what's The Wiz?
My GOD! Hie thee to yon piracy machine.
Wizard of Oz reimaged with a full african-american cast and culture
I just finished watching The Last Jedi.
first. It's been 50 years since I watched the first Star Wars movie on first release at the cinema. As someone who grew up in a farming town, who aspired, who loved sci fi and the space program it really resonated and I loved it.
The Last Jedi. Just wow. This is like a real movie with 3d characters, a consistent world, a good plot, some real wisdom, beautiful cinematography and Adam Driver and Mark Hamill were amaze
like 5 hobbits out 4
I saw Rogue One at imax when it first came out and it didn't hit me the same
Blended!

HAWT. less than 1/8tsp hurt.
