Movie /TV reviews.
The Secret of the Greco Family. True Crime. Mexican. Not everyone is a narco, some are kidnappers. Psycho parents ruin lives. 4 hobbits.
Time out of mind. Movie about homelessness.
Richard Gere stars. I’ve seen homeless people, all the behaviours, this movie shows everything. Pride and feelings of independence are the last things to go. 😔
Please be kind to people, always give to those on the street who ask.
The movie making, the script , is so subtle you don’t notice, it looks gentle, not much seems to happen, it’s just slow. Everybody else seems to making the decisions for homeless people. 5 hobbits
I read somewhere that life is about fighting entropy, without great effort everything will tend toward chaos and then cessation. We get poor when we do not work. A society that doesn’t let all people work, that doesn’t reward work, there is something wrong with that.
In a harsh society true wealth is having friends and family.
I started playing fortnite. Never played it before. Actually pretty damn fun with friends!
Feel like such a zoomer with discord running on a seperate screen and fortnite going at the same time lol
There’s a stall at my local farmers market specialising in gluten free stuff and I have spent all day today thinking about the hot pie I am gonna have for breakfast tomorrow. It’s the little things
Eat a pie for me!! It’s hard to find good gf stuff.
IKR it tastes like freedom when you finally find something good!!
Miss Meow managed to knock her toy completely upside down whilst flying past doing zoomies. Apparently being upside down makes it very interesting and mysterious again.
Gibson does the exact same thing! She won’t acknowledge it’s existence until I turn it upside down and suddenly, new toy!
Ours is currently sideways. Has 2/3 cats intrigued.
Interesting idea. It has failed on the green version.
Toy sales should start next month. There are nonessential things I want to get the boys. And maybe myself whilst I’m there
His Majesty, so regal upon his fluffy blanket throne 🙌
Let’s talk snacks. My favourite quick snacks:
Hot pockets
Sao, butter, tomato, cheese, p&s Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter, Salmon & lobster spread/anchovette spread/Vegemite
Jatz/topz/ritz/savoy/ butter sardines
Jattz/topz/ritz/savoy butter and pate
Cruskits butter, smoked salmon, cucumber, sour cream, fish roe.
PopcornI’m sure there’s more. Can’t think right now. What’s your favourites?
My very favourite snacks are Toasted Turkish bread with cheap olive oil spread and 333s mighty Mite or crunchy peanut butter, popcorn, dark chocolate, sliced tomatoes on wholemeal bread toast, mi Goreng noodles, something with pesto on it, olives, those rice cake things made of corn, breakfast cereal had at any time other than breakfast time, chocolate and oat snack bars, mandarins, tiramisu, chocolate eclairs, table grapes, vanilla yoghurt, lightly salted kettle type chips, bread, trail mix… and actually a frightening amount of whatever the kids haven’t finished.
Seaweed flavoured rice crackers smeared with cream cheese - agree that snax need to be instant. So packet of crackers on one side, tub of cream cheese on the other, plate and butter knife in the middle. If I’m feeling fancy I grind pepper on top of the cheese. Or plain saladas with pate.
Cream cheese. I can eat that all day long. Just me and a butter knife and cream cheese. Yummy.
I love the contrast of crunch and creamy, with a bit of tang. Lovely. Pate hits different but still has that lovely contrast.
I’m basic and lazy. For meals I like to put effort in, but snacks need to be instant. Fruit, slice of cheese, nuts, crackers, biscuits. If I’m feeling particularly energetic I might have a carrot with some dip. But I don’t faff around with making carrot sticks, just slice on the diagonal and dip in. I actually think it’s better slicing like this because more surface area to scoop the dip.
Peanut butter toast.
nuts
dried fruit
toasties
biscuits
any homemade cake, bread or scone
Just had the MMJ convo with a Candor doc. Got prescribed some strains. Asked for three to be passed to TGA for approval.
Curious to hear about your experience. My appointment with Dr Bhangoo is on Monday morning, not sure what to expect.
Be honest about previous use, and how it helped. What you’re struggling with, that MC can help with. They ask questions but nothing super crazy.
For me it’s a rather simple, and even pleasant experience talking to them.
I basically spewed out my life story including those things in my online nurse chat so that’s no problem recapping that stuff
I think everyone should be able to enjoy something as much as this charming gentleman … francais_ bourgeois43
doesn’t everyone love them 💖🚆🚂🚄
Blerghhhhhh
That is all.
😞
I have a ton of crows in my back yard having some sort of cawing competition. Is this a sign of something? Should I be worried? I’ve also had a black cat cross my path…
Did the black cat walk under the ladder and break a mirror on the way through? If not, then I think you’re all good.
She was being a bit suspicious in the vicinity of both my stepladder and a cracked mirror in my sewing room the other day, does that count?
Probably. The cracked mirror could be the giveaway. Better throw some salt over your left shoulder just in case. Preferably outside to save on vacuuming.
This has been happening at my place too sans the black cat sighting. They’re so loud as well. I don’t know what attracts them here.
The crows are definitely a rare event where I am, although the black cat is a regular occurrence. Usually she is trying to trip me up.
There have also been a lot of cockies around lately, probably related to the liquidambar seeds everywhere. Maybe it’s some sort of bird war?
Your friendly neighbourhood witch
Well, it’s late autumn and the food sources are about to dry up (unless you’re a raven and like maccas and burger offcuts). I suspect all this gathering is a social thing where they’re dividing up territories amongst themselves for the winter.
I always feel the need to say Good Morning to Crows and Ravens. No particular superstition about it, it just feels right.
I feel that way about maggies as well.
I always tall to the maggies around my house. No idea why.
They listen so well. That tip tilted head as they work out whether or not you have food for them …
There was a little Maggie chap who lacked a foot at my last house. Kinda miss him.
the crows in my area have been more active the past couple of days too
Pretty sure I’m meant to be working hard, I have a lot of things to do, but instead I’m just aimlessly staring out the window or refreshing my feeds. It’s been a long week.
Curious to see if this is a “me” thing or not. so does anyone else when they make a new mate become like low key obsessed for a bit? or not obsessed but like, the social anxiety just dial up a couple of notches? just for like the first couple of days of the proper mateship. Then it always settles down. Like every time your phone buzzes your like “Oh, I hope its X person”. and when they take a bit to reply you go “Oh, did I message them too many times? did I say something weird?” when you know they’re probs just busy.
It’s completely normal
Honestly it’s been so long since I made new friends I can’t really remember.
For sure man. I don’t really have family so friendships are really important to me. I defs get all in my head about it when I’m connecting with someone new
same boat hey, makes friendships so much more important.
Exactly man. It’s hard to explain to people who don’t know what it’s like.
ABSOLUTELY! people think your intense. And its hard to explain to someone “No, I just feel more strongly about you than you probs do about me”. Still stings when they kind of prove that though hey.
It’s tough man. For me, I generally expect nothing from other people, which helps temper my excitement to a degree.
In a way, it’s pessimistic, but after some of my experiences, its less shitty to think that way.
Yes. Right now, in fact
Not just a you thing. Made a couple of good mates from my gym and texting anxiety was through the roof. Turns out they felt the same.
making mates as an adult is HARD hey
I’m a slow boil. I’ll be interacting with someone for ages before I suddenly realise one day they’ve made the move from acquaintance to friend.
So, no. For me it’s more a sudden realisation after a bit. I’m reminded somewhat of the way my wife and I started dating here.
Work relationships are so complicated.
My co-worker/superior spoke badly to someone I’m friends with and unfortunately also at the same time spoke for me.
Had to go during my break to apologise for it all I suppose explain a few things and whatnot.
Incident involved a really rudely delivered snappy comment about being busy but it came off really badly I felt.
Anyway I don’t understand why she snapped like she did and I couldn’t explain it and often I see double standards about things.
Just need to get through the rest of the day no trying to maintain the peace.
Anyone of you people got a Pi 5? Worth the upgrade? I’m thinking a simple desktop computer for the kids to have access to…
Grab a second hand desktop from Ozbargian? A dell optiplex can go for like 150-200 bucks and run windows a bit more comfortably.
I’ve got a similar mini HP machine that’s an i7 with 8gb of ram that was about 150 second hand. Perfect torrent and media server.
Especially if you can wait a month or two. New financial year often sees a huge influx of these as companies update their hardware.
