At the p’s clearing out their rain tank filters from on top about 2.5m up.
Reminded me when I was a teen scaling them (wasted) at night without a ladder full ninja to sneak in when I forgot my keys as the laundry window which was never locked is directly above one. Used to get in so much shit for doing that.
Now it’s sanctioned, with a ladder, sober and far less exciting.
Twice I’ve locked myself out of my house. Had to take the glass slats out of the toilet window, scale up the down pipe, perch on the window sill and decide whether I wanted to take a giant leap missing the toilet or risk sliding off the lid and slamming into the closed door. We now have a spare key hidden in the yard.
In those instances it’s better to see if you can hold on to the ledge and scale or drop down instead of jumping or making a leap.
It would significantly reduce the height from which you come down if you did that or had room to do that.
Learnt this from if we ever had to escape a fire from out of a window.
I think I did that the second time around.
Spare keys somewhere useful, memorable, and not one of those dumb fake rocks is an art.
Don’t worry it’s safe under the mat.
Totally. Number 32 wasn’t it…
Ooo close. Number 13. Lucky for some.
I really wish they’d let us have spare keys. So far I haven’t locked myself out when nobody’s home, but if I do I’m probably fucked. I would just take the keys to Bunnings and get a spare one cut and hide in myself, but they’re those stupid security ones no locksmith will duplicate. I guess that’s good since they don’t change the locks when people move out, but it’s also a PITA because they refuse to authorise a spare key
They gave some half arsed excuse about how people could break in by smashing a lockbox with a brick or a rock. They don’t seem to realise that windows can also be broken with bricks and rocks
I remember being accidentally locked out as a kid, and having no trouble breaking in through the aluminium-framed bathroom window. Bit of a worry in hindsight, and lucky there weren’t more crims around at the time.
How is it fair that I eat healthy for a week and feel like utter shit? Tempted to buy a cheesy crust pepperoni pizza from dominos…
Also another 35 applications done today.
Oh no, hopefully that’s not discouraging. Maybe there’s an adjustment period? Sugar withdrawal? (is that a thing?). I know that guts can go through some adjustment if diet changes to include more veg and fibre, but it will settle down fairly quickly. It’s just a bit of a shock to the microbiome.
Definitely going to stick to it. The positive mental health impacts have been unbelievable. Once the physical subsides, all will be well hopefully
Just reminded me, many years ago (around 2010 maybe), I ordered a pizza from dominos. It was awful, tasted weird and tangy.
A few years afterwards, I swear I saw a TV ad for dominos saying “now with real cheese”. Turns out they were using cream cheese or something beforehand. Never ordered from them again lol.
Not saying they’re bad now ofc lol
I bought one last week as a sort of “last hurrah”. Not gonna lie, I inhaled it in one go lol.
I read something that said the longer you e been eating like crap, the longer it takes to start feeling better.
I haven’t been eating well since lockdown…
my good diet motivation kinda got crushed when miss seagoon said I wasn’t eating well
i was doing calorie reduction, she’s more into “health food”
I should get back into it, set up my food cupboard with good food, get out of the habit of snacking
I do the whole gaining and cutting thing during the year. Hardest part for me was making meals that I would eat even when I wasn’t trying to eat healthy.
It’s such a change.
processed cheese product, it’s a common thing in the US. Aged “real” cheese is very expensive there.
🤮
It’s good healthy cheap food that has good shelf and fridge stability. It’s an excellent choice for people with not much money to spend. It’s also very high in protein. iow, it’s good food.
I used to buy processed pepper jack cheese to make nachos, it was so yummy and melted very well. I grew up on kraft too. Walnut cheese from Germany is also processed.
I can’t agree. The brief period I was in the US was food hell and their weird orange plastic ‘cheese’ was part of that.
The US has wonderful food, you just have to know where to shop for it. :)
Being 15 at the time I didn’t get much choice in the matter
I think every movie with Tom Cruise could be improved by replacing Tom Cruise.
I just watched Edge of Tomorrow. Sort of a bug movie and a computer game . Good movie that made me dislike Tom Cruise even more. What a waste, some other actor could have made that better.
3.5 hobbits but minus .5 for Tom Cruise.
I loved edge of tomorrow! I reckon like 4.2 hobbits from me
Cocktail & Top Gun got into my brain before I could properly see the problems with them or him. Don’t think I’ve liked him since. Creepy midget 😝
I haven’t watched either.
I used to enjoy his movies, but then he just became a bigger and bigger arsehole irl,
and I also started to see how he often just wasn’t good
one positive thing is that he’s a very conscientious and hard worker
I grant he was good in Tropic Thunder, I think he was playing himself
That tropic thunder cameo was by far his best work
Good call. I would rank A Few Good Men as his best and my fave.
Ah yes. That one is solid. And Nicholson being revolting, he’s very good at that.
I usually don’t like Tom Cruise but I would not want anyone else in Top Gun. I think that’s also because he was playing himself.
I’m not a fan but I watched American Made and he was really good in it. Great movie too.
That *was *a good movie. Tom seems very well cast playing people with little moral compass.
Just read “All You Need is Kill” by Hiroshi Sakurazaka and you can replace Tom with whoever you like.
I don’t mind him in action stuff like the Mission Impossibles or Top Gun. Not every movie has to be intellectual or every actor be Oscar worthy. Some movies I watch for easy fun, others I watch for more depth. Tom Cruise is in the first category.
Having read the books, Cruise was a terrible choice for Jack Reacher. I think he’s a twat of a man and a passionate actor suited to action, but he’s no Jack Reacher.
And Jack Reacher is supposed to be like 7 feet tall!
It may still be 18 in my room, but I’m still going to sleep in a hoodie under 2 blankets with thick socks
18 outside = fine unless there’s wind, 18 inside = I think I’m going to freeze
As much as I really want to live in Europe, I’m not sure I’d exist past the first week of autumn there
This reminded me of the first place I lived when I get sober. The walls had a giant crack, so I had to wear all of my clothes and had a blanket but was still shivering so bad I couldn’t sleep.
Good times, good times.
Yikes. I’m glad you’re in a better place now gibsy
Where there are extremes in weather the poor suffer .
so don’t be poor and you’ll be fine s/
Ay problem solved! Thanks SG!
They have 5he advantage that their houses are actually insulated. Ours are tents
Lol that’s a good point. It’s honestly a bit of a miracle my room was even 18 when it was 12 outside. My bathroom was most certainly not though, that was definitely 12…
Ahead full…
Mind the bridge
Bonk!
But sir - we’re being hailed by the Romulans!
Pfff… they can eat my turbo-laser
omg i saw three cats outside one meowed to wake me up i just put down a dish of kibbles
Cat Distribution System in action. Congratulations.
😸
You have been Chosen
I don’t think they are eating this one (haven’t checked yet). Will put a fresh dish out before I sleep tonight.

Still attempting to negotiate an agreement between my brain, the cats, and the clock.
Oof. Walking to find ginger ninja cut into my physical energy so badly I crashed and woke up at 11pm, extremely dehydrated and late with Melbcat’s supper and meds. It might be that I can’t afford the energy and just don’t have the capacity to keep pursuing a cat I might not be able to catch. And I don’t have the comfort level to engage with rescue groups. Currently it’s really difficult to even care for my own pet and myself.
There’s also online friend group drama which I didn’t cause and am not involved in but am still affected by. -_-
Sounds like lots of signs to pull back and take care of yourself and melbcat. Rebuild yourself and let the universe find another way to care for orange cat and the conflict take care of itself. Hope you can get some good rest and cat cuddles
Thanks, the signs have been there for a while (and there’s bigger shit I don’t post) but like a numbskull I keep pushing.
I’m hoping orange cat gets picked up by someone else or recovers. I’d help if I was able but those orange buns are elusive.
woke up with this tune in my head the past 3 days
shoulda known it was john barry
midnight cowboy ( such sad music , I suppose it’s a sad movie ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgb52U7bJg0
Today is my day
How are you gonna spend your day?
I’m going to:
- finish my coffee
- get dressed
- get a cafe coffee
- walk around Savers
- cuddle the cat
- colonise Mars
No way! I got dressed too!! I didn’t know I had so much in common with the very first mars coloniser!
We truly are an interplanetary race
Sounds like a good plan 👍
Please add Curing the Common Cold to the list. Someone needs to do this.
I mean, I can try, but it may be out of my scope as day-keeper
Fair point. Schedule it in for next week???
no sharing?
my day is everyone’s day for I am a benevolent and generous day-keeper
thank you oh great starch for the day
It makes me feel good I already knew most of these.
I’ve been on the hunt for a good regular spot to buy books from. Robinsons is a no go since the owner came out as crazy, and Booktopia can be a nightmare to navigate if you have a couple of privacy extensions and open more than one tab
Wild dreams leaving me with a raging sense of guilt i should not have. Wtf brain. Stop it
Mine had my company director set me up for epic failure and my manager just laugh. While I could see the director doing that, I firmly know that my manager has my back, so that’s good.
mine was having a boss of a workplace accuse me of something that I not only hadn’t done, it was literally impossible for me to do, and maneuvering to fire me from a workplace I haven’t worked at since 2019.
So where the fuck is the sense of guilt coming from
Hate that. And waking up cross at somebody about something they didn’t do!
Could this be related to cat?
Sending virtual hugs.No.
I appear to have taken on too much at work.
Still going through papers?
oh yes. many papers.
Morning all
