Hopefully it does when its time to get it blasted out.

I just gave away half of everything to the Young Seagoons. 👍

Thank you. 😘

I use it to make tofu taste eggy for tofu scramble.

When your mini-CEO moves out to a place of her own, she'll take quite a lot of it with her. You might want to start a stash in anticipation.

yup

You know when you move out/get married and friends and family give you unused stuff that probably came from their cupboard and you say "thanks' and then shove it in your cupboard and forget about it because it's useless or ugly? That's what happened.

If my daughter wants stuff she can choose what she wants and I'll buy it for her.

Example: There is a large serving bowl with 6 small ones and a matching large plate with 6 smaller plates. Young people don't entertain like this anymore.

this is exactly what I did with the Seagoons, offered they look through all my cupboards and they could choose what they want

they got everything they chose except this one sweet kosta boda bowl I liked

we also go shopping together

Today has SUCKED. Extremely busy and today we rolled out a major process change and it was poorly coordinated and communicated. Combined with extremely busy day... not fun.

Thanks and nah its ok, just run down and fatigued. Always glad to hear the main markers (liver, kidneys, blood) are good and its just iron again. I should just supplement it all the time but I get lazy

Still tides you over until you can purchase what you want.

Spice sorting turned out to be a lot more effort than I expected, largely because the project kept getting bigger as I went!

But I have now cleaned out and rearranged all the herbs & spices, including freshly grinding a lot of the spices which were close to empty. I was very low on a lot of things and am completely out of ground cinnamon, which hampered my attempt to mix a new batch of mixed spice as well. I now have a shopping list to replace all the things I'm out of.

My first kitchen was filled with brand new (if boring/ugly) box sets from both my grandmothers bingo addictions.

🍻🍻 and a panadol 💊

Been trying to decide if my property manager(s) are incompetent or just lowlifes. I think it's both.

If I made protein balls would that be cheating in my no sugar for lentish even though there's a small amount of maple syrup (2 tablespoons) in them?

Update on the DT house partay for those wanting to come along.

Would anyone be keen for the 14th (Pi day)?

Was thinking kicking it off say late arvo 4/5pm-ish.

Partners anyone else welcome.

Inner east, will dm the deets :)

Maple syrup is technically a vegetable if you think about it, you're all good 👍

Yup I'm in! Hook me up with the deets whenever

I thought it was more tree wee.

I’m not religious but sounds like you’re making a healthy recipe, so maybe it’s a fair exemption

Yeah man keen as fuck!

Yeah I think so too. Thanks

Today is day 2 of using the nicotine spray.

Have cut vaping down by 90%. It used to be pretty much non stop.

I've used it a handful of times today. My lungs are starting to clear because I'm coughing up a little bit if crap.

I've been smoking 26 years.

More tree blood.

aye

I use the lozenges. I've tried the spray and found it too easy to give myself an extra spray (or two), and I felt it gave me a bit of heartburn too. I haven't smoked in like 5 years or so (aside from very seldom cigarettes bummed off people when I'm out drinking), but I can't see myself quitting lozenges any time soon honestly, but I'm okay with that.

Yup I'm in!

you will cough because you are not getting as much nicotine directly in your lungs and nicotine stops the little cilia in your bronchioles from moving gunk out, so now they are moving again , this is good even if it is uncomfortable at first

and so many hugs and happy dances, smoking is such a hard habit to quit 🏆

right on, that's really positive. it took me at least 7 or 8 tries to quit (smoked for 15 years, at least a pack a day for most of it, but rolled my own so who knows really...), but it stuck on the last try and i haven't smoked for 15 years. don't beat yourself up too much about the cravings or if you slip at all, just give it another try, it'll stick. those a-hole-assclowns really make that shit fucking addictive

I'm in! Boyo will likely tag along! Let me know anything I should bring!

Nice one ! That's a big deal

I'm a bit like Force, I started with the spray and moved to the lozenges. I really liked the spray and used it for about 4 years before I switched to the lozenges. I can't see myself giving up the lozenges any time soon but the way I see it, anything is better than smoking or vaping and I'm happy for myself, because I was really badly addicted. I gave up and then started again and quit again about 10 years ago. I'd had about a dozen attempts prior to that, and I smoked both ciggies and weed for over 20 years.

I'm in too! Lemme know if I should bring anything.

I'm in as well! And happy to bake something sweet to bring.

I'm a strong maybe. I'll be coming from (and returning to) Brunswick if I make it.

I’ve been static buzz so haven’t seen little man to get the paper collar on him. And still need to actually set up the new printer and print the found posters.

so many hugs

it's normal to have these thoughts and memories

hugs

and you can only do what you can do , hugs

No need to pressure yourself into fostering if you’re not ready. If the rescue organisation gets involved, they will find the right person. You will be the right person one day too, to a different cat. After my dog died, I wasn’t ready for another companion for a year. Everyone is different in how much time they need. It’s all normal and you are not alone. Be kind to yourself. You loved Melbcat so very much, of course the loss hurts. Let the grief process happen, it’s okay. And if things do spiral, please reach out to get support. Here, or medical, or irl contacts, whatever you need. Melbcat would want you to.

You're right. He loves me and follows me around like a dog, but is also a highly energetic young chap while my circumstances require my pets to be exclusively inside. I also feel he needs more hands on deck for his care. My property may also at some point undergo works.

I'll just have to see what happens and choose what's best for him.

I decided to just wipe the big PC and put Bazzite on there and it has run a treat. Nightreign worked straight away, that was the main reason for the switch. I got crushingly close to soloing Gladius as Duchess. She's a DPS powerhouse

Certainly plan on it

There's a few games I miss but I've been really happy with it.

I was on Mint before and getting bad frame rates in Nightreign. I wasn't happy with Mint's performance overall and found I kept going back to the Windows partition, so it was time for a change. I'm excited to use Bazz on a big PC with some grunt, I've only used it on a laptop with some weird Quaddro graphics card, but it has worked perfectly.

I've been playing Arc Raiders, Overwatch, Helldivers 2, Borderlands 4 (on Epic via Heroic Games Launcher), Baulders Gate 3, Hollow Knight, Lego LotR and Master of Magic. Mostly Overwatch and some Arc Raiders.

I notice you're playing a bit of Arc Raiders. It was broken and unplayable on Mint for me, even though I heard it's meant to run well on Linux. I enjoyed playing the server slam and not being able to run it on Linux has been one thing putting me off getting it. That and all the time I've been putting into Nightreign of course, I probably only have space in my life for one extraction style game.

It's run flawlessley on Bazzite for me, but it's a certain mood of a game. I'm playing it less with the re-release of Overwatch which has much more action to it.
