Yesterday a car drove up and back down my court and stopped outside my front gate, would the window down and took a photo (from what I could see). He then realised I was there and left. Not feeling overly safe, didn’t get numberplate so calling cops would be useless?
Dead end road in the sticks……
Not good. Do you have cctv? Might still be worth reporting. The photo (?) sounds like might be casing the joint for robbery of tools/generator/copper piping etc. Which is a thing that’s increasing.
Are you friendly with neighbours with security cameras?
Got them on my camera but just didn’t get the plate (they were trying to stay out of range methinks). Will realign a camera.
The neighbours might’ve caught them. You could do a letter drop in the court saying someone was taking photos from their car on DATE and TIME.
Unfortunately even if you did get a plate, the cops can’t do much anyways. Unless he was in your driveway or otherwise on your property, it’s not illegal to drive down a dead end street. And although creepy, it’s not illegal to take photos of people on private property if you’re doing so from public property unless they have “a reasonable expectation of privacy”, or people’s houses
I get that but the fact that they took off when they saw me - that’s dodgy af. Fortunately my big dog was barking from the house, hopefully a deterrent if it’s casing for a break in.
I made some Greens packet cheesecake for the kids and whilst I wasn’t expecting much, they managed to limbo under my low expectations.
I guess I’ve never had a cheesecake as fluffy, stiff, and bland as these before to have perspective.
It’s not a hard ‘don’t recommend’, more a ‘don’t bother’. Make cheesecake at home the proper way or buy a good one
Did somebody summon a Void?
You dont summon a void! They cant be controlled. They summon you!
I thought Seagoon summoned one by emoji. My bad. Have a pic anyway.
Omg!!!
Oh, you think darkness is your ally. But you merely adopted the dark; I was born in it, moulded by it. I didn’t see the light until I was already a Cat, by then it was nothing to me but BLINDING! The shadows betray you, because they belong to me!
Now that’s what I want to see first thing in the morning! Hello sweetheart! Tell mum to give you gentle kisses on your furry little head from me please. I hope your day brings you a sunny spot to bake and turn your fur into satin.
If he were any more silky he’d slide off the furniture 😺
Silky black cats 🖤
So slippery!
The little batwings are sooooo cute!
And… I didn’t get murdered putting them on.
5 degrees?? Feels like 3.1?!?
WTF!
Sunny afternoon coming up though. Will warm up.
18 isn’t my idea of warm, but yeah
Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhshiddibdigxhdobsibs
I don’t know why I fucking say anything on the other site. Fucking incel shit. I hate that the boys who said foul, sexist, racist crap on 4chan have infiltrated every other fucking site. Where did they get their confidence‽ Who raised these animals? Fuck me for even daring to voice my experiences, or the experiences of afabs. I know I should just abandon it at this point.
Why do we have to suffer through abuse and die to these foul fuckers? Why do we have to deal with this crap? If, for whatever reason, my partner and I don’t work out, I’m joining that 4b movement. No debate. I’ll go live in the fucking woods with the bears and spiders and lions, whatever.
Real fucking sick of boys and men feeling entitled to do whatever the fuck they want to afabs. I wish they would crawl into a fucking hole and die.
(I shouldn’t feel the need to say this, but: yes, I know it’s not all men 🙄)
Oh god yes. I never even bother to engage with certain conversations or attitudes anymore, I just stay the fuck away.
ignore, live your own life
but seriously, I get it, bad days make me wish I had a gun
How do I be charming when I have no charm? Advice needed several years ago
To be charming I think you need to learn the art of the schmooze. Basically telling people what they want to hear.
Charm comes from being your authentic self. Sounds cliche but that whole “you could be the best, most delicious apple, but there will still be people who don’t like apples” saying.
Be you, the whole of you. And you will attract and charm those who you like as well.
HIGHLY contextual on who your trying to charm and for what purpose.
It cold out there
Looking dapper, Toby!!
Sleeping for two days straight has helped. Still feel rubbish, but…less rubbish
time i make my signature dish
It’s bin day and we’re waiting for the pick up. Elderly neighbour was out and on his way back home reversed into his bins, knocking them over and spilling a bit of crap on the nature strip and footpath.
Did he notice? Absolutely not.
Did he go out and pick it up? No chance.
Did I do the right thing, rush out and tidy up as the rubbish truck was at the top of our street? Yes, but was grumbling the entire time.
My biggest issue was that it took the rubbish truck a few minutes to do it’s round. Not long enough for me to back inside, but just too long to stand outside waiting andlooking like an impatient resident that is totally judging the truck driver’s performance.

might be worth putting a letter in the mailbox or something. Or if its a continued pattern of behavior report 'em. Today its the bin, Tomorrow could be a kid on a bike.
Good idea with the letter. Hitting the bins wasn’t my main concert. Shit happens at slow speed. Not noticing that he did it was the alarm bells.
yeah same for me! Accidents happen, not realizing they happened is… concerning.
I clean up, whenever I haven’t I’m just bothered by litter around my street until the council monthly sweeper comes through.
I like it when my street is clean. If there’s any rubbish around after the truck comes past, I’ll pick it up and put in my bin. This was more that neighbours’ bins wouldn’t have been picked up if knocked over.
It’s commendable that you took the initiative to tidy up despite feeling frustrated about the situation. Sometimes being a good neighbor means going the extra mile, even when it’s inconvenient. Your actions likely helped prevent any further mess and ensured that the neighborhood stayed clean. As for the timing with the rubbish truck, it’s understandable to feel a bit awkward waiting outside, but your efforts to assist likely didn’t go unnoticed. Perhaps next time, your neighbor will be more mindful of their surroundings, but until then, your willingness to lend a hand speaks volumes about your character. https://iqratechnology.com/academy/
I can relate to this.
Sometimes my back is so sore I can’t bend over to pick things up. I just look at them. If it’s at home I wait until I can pick it up but somewhere else, I will try my best but if I can’t I can’t.
Those grabber sticks are great. I also want a table that swings over the bed
bed rest for a sore back is on order 😿 just preventive
love you all 😘
The best thing to heal is… time unfortunately.
I saw a kitty litter box with enter and exit doors and I wondered if kitty would care if it accidentally Dutch ovened it self.
Mickey has been snoozing in my oodie, and he doesn’t seem to mind huffing his own farts. So prolly not lol
If someone farts in my house the dog licks the air but if it’s him he pretends he’s asleep.
He’s just tasting what you had for dinner 😂
air biscuit
god I want that KFC snack pack for lunch, but 6 nugs PLUS popcorn chicken and chips is way too much to tackle solo.
I could eat maybe 3 nugs and some chips at most, just too icky for me
@Seagoon_ @TinyBreak Totally.
Honestly, I feel icky just thinking about KFC food, it’s just so greasy.
Unless you have a specific craving for the greasiest thing imaginable because you’re pregnant/emotionally eating/have cramps/have a hangover/are really drunk/are six-years-old, I don’t know why anyone would want it?
@msdropbear42 @TinyBreak @Seagoon_ Greasy lukewarm dead bird in a cardboard bucket, as a friend used to call it.
convenience and comfort/food coma
Those are like an appetizer before the family bucket for me.
Ha I was also about to say that sounds like a pre-lunch snack
It’s like a 2 minute warm up and stretch before starting proper exercise
I wish I could be satisfied with that offering though

It’s not on the menu but could I have a sun? That might finally make me warm, seeing as we were robbed of a 40° day this summer
☀️
Still cold. Can I get a hotter one?
☀️
Hotter!
you need to go closer to it…
I ate it and I’m still cold :(
Bowl of porridge with apple and honey, please.
And some tea to take my meds
🥣🍎🍯☕️
I have purchased a crispy pork banh mi with extra extra chilli. Time to nuke my sinuses from orbit.
