Today was one of those “can I just tell the client to go fuck themselves?” kind of days.
Anyone else noticed generic brands being out of stock a lot at Colesworths?
First the generic peanut butter was out of stock for quite a long time, the generic paper cat litter is still unavailable, now it’s the decaf instant coffee and cocoa powder. And the prices are still a gouge.
If it was more possible for me I’d be predominately shopping at Aldi
The idiots across the road have put decorations out. Their wheelie bins sit out the front so I hope they put one of their kids in one so they can frighten the adults walking past. Here’s ya trick now scram.

I’ve got so many cool ideas but am not in any condition to build or weld…
I need to body snatch someone healthy
Tonight’s the night for that! 🧟
What’s that? I can’t hear you.
Come a little closer…
Now I have the stroller transporting cats is easy so I just booked Theodore in for some vaccinations at Lort Smith. 🐱
ngl that’s why we bought ours way back. So much easier transporting felines in a wheeled conveyance than dragging a carrier full of weight-shifting whining lil’ bitch around
New patch almost there:
Looks off from the angle but the bubble doesn’t lie.
Always trust the bubble.
That’s fucking haunted. How is that level?
In the bubble, we trust.
always
Ted n me went on an adventure to the park. He found sitting down to be easiest. He loved looking at all the birds tho some did not like him, he sniffed the sniffs and watched ducks swimming and people and cars on the busy streets but he was glad to be home and sat up once we got back to our little courtyard
That’s so damn cool!!!
we went off road onto the unpaved bumpy path around the pond 🐱
Yeah it can be a bumpy ride. It really annoys me that you can’t change the wheels.
They do come off and you may have a slim chance at replacements off eBay. But the wheels themselves can’t come off to be replaced with something that has more shock absorption or traction. The double set of wheels are riveted together onto rectangular metal sleeves that click onto the legs of the frame.
At least they’re solid wheels so you can’t get a flat. 😔
I have considered stretching larger tyres over them as if they were inner tubes but that would require guesswork to buy tyres online that might not fit well.
I’m not a car or bike person but I’d think you’d have to consider both diameter and width.
And because it’s mostly welded in one piece you can’t even do anything with shock absorbers or an axel.
I could remove the rivets by damaging them and re-rivet some different wheels in but that’s a last resort repair. Don’t have the energy for all that.
I basically just put extra padding in the capsule to help cushion the cat and went carefully.
a little bumpy is good and yes, there is lots of padding 🐱
I want one of these for my future cat friend.
Ted’s Big Adventure! Without Bill…
maybe I’ll put both in there one time, they just have to not fight
They need one with two compartments.
Unfortunately if it’s the same as Melbcat’s the bottom ‘shelf’ is far too small to put a cat carrier in. So no chance of doubling up like that.
Edit: Unless heavily modified… 🤔 but no. I think the cavity beneath the original capsule would still not be tall enough and not deep enough. The front panel saying ‘Pawz’ could be removed so the carrier could be pushed forward between the struts (and secured with a strap) but the frame would be too narrow to allow that.
The stroller is big enough, the fluff makes the boys look big, and the weight specs can carry them both, they just have to be nice to each other
I meant sticking a standard plastic airline style carrier in underneath for the second boy, so they’re separated and can’t punch on.
But I think even if modified for more room the dimensions of metal frame wouldn’t allow that
Edit. This is what I mean. The smaller fabric shelf and front Pawz panel could be removed and replaced with a larger shelf, if it was large and rectangular enough to hold a standard plastic carrier. Like these for under rollators or wheelchairs.
But the room below might not be enough and could cause issues if the bottom carrier was riding too low.
And the width of the plastic carrier might be too much to slip between the pram legs for that little extra room for the top front edge.
It’s just easier to see how they will be and if they fight too much then I will leave one of them home.
How exciting, and cute!
Hooray Ted’s first big day out!
omg, he loves his stroller, 🐱, he went back in of his accord and is happily chirping in there . He’s asleep in there now. 🤷♀️
Oh my god I love how his fluffiness just fills up the pram
birb hunting noises
maybe
His eyes were as big as saucers when we got home and I got him out the stroller. He also tried to bite me but that’s normal.
Lol’d at “he also tried to bite me but that’s normal” 😂
What a gorgeous experience for him!!
Went to see psych today and they said how I’ve been masking and it’s understandable that I don’t know who I am. Literally on session 10. We’ve done a heap of case formulation, now to finally using the skills.
So the results are… nothing 😒No Buruli Ulcer but no anything else either. Doctor wants to just hand ball me to specialist. I showed him pictures I’d taken and said is it likely to be a form of Pityriasis. He agreed it could be, but said he wouldn’t like to guess. Funny, he didn’t mind guessing it was Impetigo and had me take antibiotics for a week while I was petrified I had an infectious disease. I said seeing as I’ve been using cortisone on it and it’s helping, can I get a script for more (I’m using miniest’s tube and it’s almost ran out) and he ummed and ahhed about that and said that because he wasn’t sure what it was he didn’t really want to prescribe anything. As for the specialist, $365 is absolutely no dice. It’s just not doable. It’s already cost me a day’s pay for this.
His Lordship copped fucking dyshidrotic eczema from covid - he’s on predniserone now and it seems to finally be kicking its arse
I have a new unopened tube of cortisone cream I can peel my info off of if you have a PO Box to send it to? And could collect it as PeelerSheila…
I don’t meet people or ask for identifying info but if it’s a PO box I can send it anonymously one way
Edit: Sorry, scratch that… it’s been opened so I don’t want to send something used. I had two. Must have accidentally thrown out the new untouched tube and kept this one.
Try the 1% that you can get over the counter or maybe a short cool oatmeal bath
I’ve had pityriasis. Twice. So I know what the itch is like. Antihistamines are your friends.
Some viruses can leave people with weird rashes, good to hear it’s responding to some treatment.
That’s fucked up. I mean, glad it isn’t buruli, but what else could it be?
It isn’t psoriasis is it? That responds to cortisone (I think) and is caused by everything from simple stress to other shitty diseases. If you send me a pic I can see if it looks like my psoriasis lol I think you still have my mobile number.
The Dr prolly is hesitant to prescribe cortisone without knowing what it is, as cortisone can make it worse. But if it’s helping… 🤷🏼♀️ I’m sorry that it’s so expensive. It fucking sucks how much a specialist can be, when not covered by insurance or Medicare. Ugh.
Ok will send you some pics lol.
I’m not sure how much of your body it might be over but you might either be able to get away with some low level cortisone or maybe behind the counter from the chemist that might help.
$365
Ouch jeez some of them charge extreme prices.
we need some triumph the insult dog https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yN0Pru9fNQ
there are now girl mormon preachers?

I demand photos of the bum biter in his stroller.
The thought of my baby nephew having to go through even a fraction of the challenges I’ve had to live through in this sick world just breaks my fucking heart.
The thought of that sweet innocent child exposed to any of the dangers I’ve had to face makes me die inside.
And unfortunately I’m still living through those same dangers and trying to stay alive myself. So if and when he faces those dangers I’m not sure what resources I have to help him, since I apparently don’t have the answers.
I think I’ve only got prayers left at this point.
The one thing I can do if I die is at least leave him what I have in a will.
Miss Seagoon is an adult and I still worry sick. She should be ok tho as the fam will have left her enough to at least have a home.
I wish only the best for Miss Seagoon: happiness, or at the very least peace and contentment.
So if and when he faces those dangers…
He’ll have you to commiserate with :)
Doesn’t really put food on the table or provide shelter but I guess it’s better than nothing.
There’s a life hack where you can buy food from a super market and just put the seeds from the food in dirt then boom, free food. Unless you’re doing exotics, they’re very low maintenance to the point where keeping them under control and not having too much food is the hardest problem.
Also, there’s nothing stopping you or your nephew moving abroad for a far lower cost of living. South America is beautiful, Japan has cheap houses with land, and so on.
Parents might have an issue with me abducting their child and taking them to a foreign country lol but it’s an intriguing idea.
Lol, I meant teach them that they have options and doors that are always open unless they have a criminal record. I’m an immigrant and moved here on a whim and grow food, you should try growing food it tastes like love. When your nephew is 18 they can do whatever they want providing that they have someone like you supporting them that it’s OK to do that.
Partner and I are currently weighing up moving to Europe, but I’m tempted by San Fran or Seattle for the utterly insane pay. Doesn’t mean Australia isn’t my home or where my heart is, and Australia is not even my country of birth.
You can do that too, today if you wanted.
Wasn’t able to do my first aid class last week, but was put into the other class for it this week. In class today and tomorrow so I have to catch up on the theory classes tomorrow, over the weekend.
Very appreciative that they could slot me into this one, so I don’t have to pay out of pocket for a private one lol.
And there’s nothing more I love than going to campus when it’s spring. Thankful my animal course is at the same place they do horticulture. Wandering around the greenhouses and the grounds with all the beautiful plants and flowers, really improves my mental health. So many butterflies, bugs, flowers, buds, the smell of spring. It’s just a magical place when it’s sunny.
Tip acquired - visit places that do horticulture!
Sent you a dm :)
Boy racer out the car window: yah red headed slut! 5min later 60ish woman: you look adorable
Can’t please them all, and why would you want to?
What was that meme? Aposematism is the use of bright colours to warn away predators. Looks like it worked.

Brilliant
Indeedy!
