Thanks! Should be a good one, I have a rare Saturday off work so let the champers and margaritas flow!
Congrats! Have fun!
Congratulations 🎉 🥂
DTTTTTTTTTTT!!! After half a year the car search has ended, I have finally replaced my 4x4 that shit itself during covid. Ya boy is about to make up for years worth of missed camping and road-tripping.
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you!
What did you get?
Mitsubishi Pajero NT 09 3.2L diesel.
Just in time for better weather (hopefully) for the camping and travel!
Very upsetting what just happened on Bourke Street
I’m shook. Hope the injured recover and the lost soul’s close ones find peace.
The culprit can fucking rot
Once upon a time it was safe to walk or take the tram around the city. Not any more. It’s so sad.
This feels like a little bit of a leap.
Nah Pilko I can tell you now as a a 46 year old who has frequented the city their whole life it is getting worse.
Yeah nah, 90’s were worse
I don’t think so. I remember people nodding off on trams and trains. I remember the hari kristners begging, the odd dero who’s pissed himself, the drunks. I don’t ever remember the violence that commuters are experiencing today.
I remember people getting glasses smashed on them outside y&j. I remember drunk cunts getting very fucking rapey around flinders. I remember a lot of queer bashings.
I get that and things weren’t reported like they are now but I don’t remember cunts wanted to start fights because they’ve been up for 4 days straight.
the issues are more frequent and moving out further into the suburbs
it’s getting more and more dodgy inside the trams too
Exactly.
people need to understand that they own public property, and so they should treat it with respect
I saw the report on the Guardian. Awful.
Just went down a travelator behind a man who had jammed the trolley hard against the side of the travelator side, and it was making this horrid scraping noise as it was going , scraping a dent/scratch into the side of escalator. Man either totally unaware or could not give a fuck. I was thinking how sad it is how much the public just trash stuff and how much it must cost to be constantly fixing things, no wonder everything is expensive. This is why we can’t have nice things.
Allergies are calming down a bit today, the wind and rain has got rid of some of the pollen particles. This has been my worst year for rosacea for 15 years. Big hugs to everyone who is having difficulties with allergies and inflammation.
My allergies only started calming down a couple of days ago as well.
Now my skin is healing but damn is it really hurting on my hands and feet as it hardens and comes off.
Hope you’re not suffering too badly from it all.
gentle hugs
aww thank you
Big hugs to you. My hayfever isn’t bad yet but it’s coming.
Bill Cat has scratched his face raw 😿
Oh poor Bill Cat.
he’s sleeping now 😿

I’m not too bad, rosacea hay fever and asthma are all under control but my dog is going crazy scratching her belly.
hugs to both of you
*hugs* hope everything is okay.
Eating Tiny teddies for the first time since I was a kid. There is something very moreish about them. It’s a bit dangerous, the whole box might get mindlessly consumed if I’m not careful!
Honey or chocolate?
Half coated choc, so I think honey.
Ooo. I think you’ve got choc chip there.

Opening yesterday’s thread, the Brisbane daily thread, or accidentally sorting by “old” are my favourite ways to add a touch of confusion into my day.
COLD 🥶
As my heart on Saturday morning.
All four of my cheeks are freezing 💀

You made it pretty! 👍

Omg you made it, I’m so impressed. Very aesthetic too.
Perhaps this is an insight into what the robots will feed us when the revolution comes.

So get the magnifying glass out. Is it wet, dry, chunky, large, small, medium, firm, loose, black, brown, other?
Cheers Catfish Cat. I hope you recover from whatever it is. 🍺
If OP is Catfish, clearly that is Fishcat

awww
Would it be out of line to ask what young man is dealing with symptoms wise?
I have an older cat and have been on the medical merry go round of working out what’s wrong. Perhaps there’s something that sounds similar to an issue we’ve solved, an idea of where to go next.

Ah yeah.
Cat TMI and I mean it
~ Obligatory ‘I am not a veterinarian’ disclaimer ~
We have had a little of that, it was a fissure from constipation. But not to the extreme. It was a tiny smear of bright fresh blood as an isolated incident.
It could be so many things so if you find this vet isn’t taking you seriously you are within your rights to see another vet or another practice for a second opinion. You’re around them more and see things the vets don’t. It took me a long time to be believed and figure out Melbcat’s nebulous pain but it turned out there were multiple genuine causes which are now being treated.
It could be an ulcer, inflammatory bowel disease, eaten a foreign object, a grass seed worked its way into the anus, ingested a chemical, parasites, bacterial or viral infection, blood disorders, cancer, injury, severe irritation from food intolerances or allergy, polyps, colitis etc
It’s very hard when they can’t talk.
It’s worth looking at everything else surrounding it for clues. If there have been any changes like diarrhoea re the Bristol stool chart, presence and location of any pain, changes in appetite, nausea (lip smacking or reluctance to eat) vomiting or gas, when does it happen? Is the blood bright and fresh which may indicate the issue is down closer to the anus, or is it older and brown, or is it partially digested like coffee grounds? Is there any mucus which may indicate inflammation? Jelly like stool which is extreme inflammation? Weird colour like yellow or green which may indicate too fast transit, or a greasy appearance? Signs of worms?
It sounds overwhelming but maybe just jot down what/when he’s eaten and the time/details of him moving his bowels to see if there’s any patterns or anything unusual. Perhaps give them a sample.
And check if there’s been any warnings about baits or sicknesses like feline panleukopenia/parvovirus in your area. There have been Australian breakouts in recent months.
The more concrete info you have the more of an idea you can get and the harder it is to dismiss.

Fingers crossed that it’s not serious and either can be treated easily or stops happening 🤞
That was a cold freaking walk back to the accom. 10C feels like 3, hectic winds, spattering rain - and now lots of wooshing and swooshing while I’m trying to settle down in bed. Pros and cons to getting accom with palms right out the window.
Absolutely fabulous day otherwise, was a bit nervous/overwhelmed at first but met heaps of good folks today. Weather aside, only downside was I think I had too much dairy in the dessert and got straight up liquid shits (scrambled to the toilet just in time). Or maybe it was the wine. I don’t know but my gut definitely feels unsettled, still. I need a substantial breakfast tomorrow to make up for it. Ninight.
Cheers homies and home girls 🍻

I see you’re on the hard stuff tonight.
Woohoo! That was a long week 🍷
Cheers Chick a dee. 🍺
was out for a walk early this morning. after an hour, even with brisk walking, came home freezing cold, windblown and ever so slightly damp, wondering what I had been thinking.
am now reaping the benefits by working in trackies, my slippers, with a cuppa, feeling smug as my wife complains about having to leave the house while I have done my exercise and errands for the day and can remain toasty warm and comfy inside.
same here. Is it schadenfreude? why yes, but that makes it no less delicious. Enjoy your trudge in the rain sir, me and my 11k steps shall be playing Totk
I made baby cheesecakes last night. Very easy to do.
baby cheesecakes
I used a block of philly cheese (Manhatten from aldi) at room temperature. Added a half a jar of lemon curd. A tiny bit of milk and a tablespoon of icing sugar. Gave it a stir until all combined. Put a butter nut biscuit in the muffin patty pan and top it with my mixture. Put them in the fridge to set.
Ooooooo
They are really good ngl.
