Not 10 minutes ago, Mickey (my cat) was meowing at my partner and I, just chatting. I walk towards him as I leave and say "watch him, as soon as we're out of your sight l he'll beat me up", so my partner crept behind me as I entered the living room, where Mickey has trotted to, and the jerk didn't do a thing.

But! As soon as my partner goes back to the other room, Mickey has pounced and started biting my leg like a Christmas ham.

He's so damn dumb, but he knows what words mean and definitely did that on purpose. He plays softly when my partner is watching, and then claws me up like a mofo when we're alone.

I love him so damn much haha

Sometimes there's food in my sink. Sometimes I'll do the right thing and put it in the bin. At other times I'm lazy as fuck and jam it down the plug hole.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just buy a strainer that goes over the sink hole. It's going to save you money in the long run.

Why would I do something sensible like that?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Because it will elevate you to the smart lane instead of the lazy lane with a simple piece of metal with holes in it.

I hope you have a good plumber on tap to clear the drain out occasionally. Drano can only do so much.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It's not usually heaps of food. Like it might be say one thin piece of carrot. Done it for a long time and I've never had to use draino etc.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

My guilty pleasure. I hate wet soggy food

Jeez that was extreme traffic today.

Got back from the bellarine in just under 4hrs. Usually it's 1.5.

Did a quick pit stop for some jackas chips.

I still believe the equation is... RR>KFC>HJ>McD. Always a bit of a let down and I never learn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I can respect your position but when Maccas chips are just right, I think they put HJs to shame.

HJ has never been the same since they changed their fries imo, but their burgers are definitely better than MDs

Power was still flickering and going in and out when I came home.

Spoke with my other neighbour and she was having the same problems as me then all power went out.

It came back up about 20 mins ago and has been stable for both of us since, I think I have power back now!

Yay!

Anybody else's kitty shedding a lot? Maybe it's the hot weather. She's not a fan of the comb, wish I could find her actual slicker brush

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

it's normal for cats to shed in early Autumn and early Spring

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ahh right on cue then. Hairmageddon

Same, my black jumpers are now fur of tabby and white

Moved to Tecoma, near Belgrave last week. Call it bad timing as we've been out of power for over 24 hours.

Luckily we don't eat meat or dairy, so food spoilage is minimal. But I'd like to see what I'm unpacking.

Neighbour left a note saying "welcome to the hills haha!" with his phone number and a recommendation to get ice.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

Definitely the most cursed timing to have moved up that way! Nice neighbour though. Miss that kind of camaraderie

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

We've just emerged from 27 hours powerless. Not fun.

Open house has come up for a house the housemate and I are keen on, but it just wee bit early to start actually diving in. Not sure if we should go have a sticky beak or put it from our mind's.

Not a single thought occuring

Gibson... Will you be my Valentine? 🌹

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago

She says yes. Looks like I'm out of luck this year lol

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago

But so pretty. Who needs brains?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

He’s an honorary orange

Looks golden, like a mountain lion.
