I love me some mammatus! Always wanted to see a Lenticular.
Put my phone in the washing machine and it died. Forgot my password here so new account it is. Shitshow start to the week with work laptop 2FA issues and having to re-download and log into everything. Also lost all my contact numbers. Yayyy
You know, I'm pretty sure I could have gotten you into your old account. Just sayin'
Sorry about your phone. I have done the same thing. It was over 20 years ago with a Nokia 8210. Such a sad end to an awesome phone.
All good. Doesn't really matter. For some reason the password reset wasn't emailing me, but it's fine
Today I went to Bunnings to buy something and I asked the cashier lady how she was.
She was genuinely surprised that I asked and told me barely anyone ever asks how she is.
That made me very sad to hear that, I also wished her a good day too for good measure but to that was how people engage with her at her job makes me sad.
Also I ran after an empty shopping bag that blew out of someone trolley as they were crossing the a road strip with waiting traffic.
Good deeds done for the day.
Just got a call from my cousin who I'd be spending xmas with, xmas is now significantly scaled down as most of her in laws have made other plans - secretly super relieved it's gone from a 11-person thing to 5, and they're all people I know. Far out I feel like a weight has lifted...
As I've gotten older I've learned to appreciate dark chocolate a lot more although I still have my limits. Anything over 70% is still a bit too bitter for me. I'm currently enjoying this Aldi Organic Dark Salted chocolate. https://www.aldi.com.au/en/groceries/pantry/chocolate/chocolate-detail/ps/p/just-organic-dark-chocolate-with-sea-salt-100g/
These Choceur Liviano from Aldi are a rip off of Kinder Bueno.
Ive tried 95 and 100.
So bitter is almost tastes like dirt.
70 or 80 is the sweet spot for me.
I'm so middle age that you know that feeling after you do "the deed" on a hot summers night and you've got that warm physical exhaustion but your feeling pretty stoked that it was a job well done? Yeah, I just got that feeling from mowing the lawn on my lunch break.
Now I’ve been asked how to burn a CD. These time warps are disorienting.
Bring out an old rotary dial telephone and witness the confusion.
My kid has confiscated our cds and refers to them as "her collection".
I sold all mine. As well as all the vinyl. Not even sad about it. Well except for that Ride the Lightning picture disc. That was cool.
I have a mp3/cd player in my car so I still get to play them. Two are permanently in there. Dark Side Of The Moon and The Very Best Of Supertramp.
Oh nice. They say Dark Side is the greatest album in the history of music 😀
Real problem at work. I needed to read a cd rom, everybody is on laptops without drives. Poor planning.
next she'll ask you to show her how to record a song on the radio with a cassette tape
Awesome Mix vol.2 is sure to get the party started.
Also just off topic, do I remember correctly that you like Paramore ? If so are you going to the show?
or did I just conjure another false memory?
That was not me. I am a Linkin Park, Good Charlotte, Simple Plan, MCR fan.
I think I like biscoff

It doesn't look pretty but it sure was tasty.
after ~2 weeks of sleeping through the night this sudden return to several wake ups a night is BRUTAL. I know he is just teething and it wont last forever, but man I am tired.
Comfort him a lot. Being comforted reduces anxiety and pain. It will also help him sleep.
And pain meds too of course.
I cannot stress enough, babies and little children can't get too many cuddles
my kid deffo can. He's like "daaaad stop, I want to wiggle around on the floor I dont want a cuddle". At least I assume thats what he is thinking.
Bonjela and lots of it. Panadol and Nurofen help with the pain as well.
Oh yeah, we give him Panadol as required, trouble is he isnt always super obvious with it.
Miss Meow is being very restless this afternoon, which I think means a storm could be on the way. Or maybe she just wants dinner early, it's hard to tell.
Dialling back my insane sleep schedule starting tonight. No more going to bed at 5am... Starting at 2am and working backwards to 9pm.
Also, have been going out the last 3 weeks with friends on the weekend. I'm emboldened to go out by myself this Saturday. I wonder how it'll go. Worth a shot anyway. Like my mate says "nothing ventured, nothing gained".
You must be young because no one over 30 is going to bed at 5 am 🤣
I would absolutely go to bed at 5am if life wouldn't bash me up 2 hours later. I'm naturally nocturnal.
I don't go to bed because I'm tired now, I go to bed because I know how tired I will be when I have to get up in the morning.
That's disgusting. I'm not into that kind of thing but the deviants on here might appreciate a pic and a detailed description.
They’d probably appreciate a few pictures from different angles
ok I've been 3d printing game pieces all day AND am in the middle of the shadow war on b5 that's my dreams irrevocably fucked this week
I have now served the two month waiting period for my new Health Insurance fund, with still no sign of the Clearance Certificate from my old health fund - which they are legally required to provide within two weeks.
I decided in honour of the occasion to send a letter to a few MPs, given that the whole fund seems to be having a meltdown and be unable to actually provide all of its members with the cover they are paying for. The government partially funds and props up the whole system they really should at least try to make sure that the funds are fulfiling their obligations.
Got this recommended to me and found them on deep discount at Vintage Cellars soooo here I am getting one. Will report later with results.

What are you going to do with it? My suggestion would be to pour it over chocolate or vanilla icecream. Yummmm.
