I did make da McDonald's dis morning coz i am a certified tight-arse. Egg and sausage macburger deluxe macmuffin with unlimited hash browns (2 per person) and a bottomless instant coffee.
I did learn if one touches the inside of a hot airfryer wiz ze fingies one can become a human car alarm.

ugh hubs is about to find out if he's fired or has to fire half his team. Sucks.
-
Shit be serious when he's the hubs and not His Lordship. Hoping for the best 🤞

I hung up my new solar lamp outside. Is pretty.
Hopefully it holds up to the weather OK.
-
eee that looks great.
-
That is beautiful. We have lights too for the sole purpose of not stepping in dog poo
Little dog likes to line them up on both sides of the car.

Just a friendly reminder that cooking gyoza at 2:30am is natural, healthy and perfectly normal.
-
Yum! I made fruit salad at 3am

There's a blue tongue lizard chillin next to my water heater tank outside. Lilttle dude is just basking and loving life.

Also, racism and anti-Semitism of some fam members is so subtly expressed. Most know it's wrong, that's why they state it in passive aggressive ways. 🤬 The stupid ones just repeat shit they hear on Fox. Then there are the ones with "inside" knowledge. 🙄
I'm so sick of the petty hate.
-
I hated experiencing that when my ex-stepdad used to live with us. It always gives me such uncomfortable feelings and so jarring too.
Glad he's not here any more, though not saying that I myself am perfect, but doing my best to unlearn a lot of it that's just imbued in our culture. So I sympathise with you a lot.
-
My family is full of them. Partners family is full of them. They know my thoughts but they have safety in numbers at family gatherings so don’t hold back. Not looking forward to Christmas and hearing everyone’s opinions on the voice. Or Gaza. Puts me in a shit mood for the holidays every single time.
-
I suspect the racists/idiots etc can detect my utter dislike and contempt for their views. And yet I listen to them carefully and try to understand what they are saying and why. Something they never seem to reciprocate.
in a way I do not enjoy these discussions at all.

Its not a great time to be Egyptian

welp, good news or bad, there shall be brisket.
It's at the point now where the smell is slowly driving us mad
-
I mixed sour cream and Philly cream cheese into my scrambled eggs mix. They're fluffy and delicious!
-
Yes. Philly is a good ingredient - the Sopranos got that bit right. For eggs, if you like em super fluffy, try mixing the beaten egg with some of the 'water' from around a can of corn kernels instead of milk/cream/philly - makes scramblies and omelettes super super fluffy.

Kids now given us pink eye. 0/10. Would not rate. Parents: Please tell me this phase ends soon!

Mmm. It doesn't stop. You've got a good ten years ahead of you yet.

The BOM is turning on a special welcome to @just_kitten@aussie.zone to celebrate her return to Melb. Next week will be cooler.

From the frying pan to the fire? From the sauna to the shower...

Decked out in shorts, socks and a heavy jumper. November uniform (plus a sneaky brolly when I go outside.)

Not liking these rain/storm forecasts, I'm supposed to be heading up to the Rangers to go camping this coming weekend.

Discount season is not far away. Make a wish list and wait for the Black Friday or Boxing Day sales?

Do you what's good about being a CEO? I tell my workers that I'm leaving the room and when I get back there better be music on. I don't care who or how just make it happen.
-
Interview today at 10 - cross fingers for me!

BEHOLD PRECARIOUSLY POSTIONED CHIPS!
edit... positioned.. I've turned off spell check because my spelling has suffered recently :(
-
they look very yummy
-
-
I have come down with a huge crush on a guy I recently hooked up with. Fuck.
-
-
Tennis time! Did I mention I've been playing a lot recently? I have been feeling extra tired lately and should reduce my playing time and increase my recovery time, but I think I am addicted. (Also that it is physical exercise so that's my rationale for too much tennis!)
-
Best shower glass cleaner? I’ve used so many and can never get a perfect finish. Looks great from a distance but once you get closer the soap scum is still faintly there.
-
Gumption baby. Wax on wax off. You can do your tiles and grout with it too.
-
Just (almost - missed a few spots) cleaned our almost 80 years old bath with gumption and a stiff brush. The landlord told us it was stained beyond repair, gumption cleaned it in minutes.
-
I have this but never found a use for it. Always thought it was really abrasive. So do you put it on dry or wet glass?
-
-
Prevention is the best cure for that - get a squeegee and hang it by your shower, and have a rule that if you get the glass wet, you get every drop of water off it. Some of the shower sprays just reduce the surface tension to stop water sticking (i.e. they are a similar preventative measure to just wiping all the water off) - they only work if you use them every time (but wiping with a squeegee is easier, the reason those products exist is selling a consumable you use every time you shower is more profitable than selling a squeegee).
If over time, you repeatedly get it wet, and don't let any liquid dry on it, you'll eventually leach out all the scum (most Melbourne water is relatively soft - low calcium - so just water works eventually). If you really want to accelerate it, try something with oxalic acid in it, which will strip calcium from limescale - but repeated cycles of tap water and squeegee will eventually get the same result.
-
Jiff and a sponge. Soap scum removal requires a bit of rubbing, don’t believe any magic spray claims, it’s all marketing trash. Wet the surface, put some Jiff on a sponge, rub over, rinse off. Will sparkle like new.
-
antikal. that stuff is magic. Can't buy it here
-
-
Ok my bed sitch has been sorted. Will temporarily take over the couch till I find a new one! Don't want to drop $800+ so will search marketplace for a cheapie!

Don’t feel too guilty, I’ve tried so many expensive “healthy” cat foods and mine just won’t eat it. I can’t let them starve, they leave the food and won’t eat it at all. My cats are all healthy thus far.
-
Oh she’s hungry! I’m trying a bigger cheaper tin with added vitamins because she’s not eating her nutritionally balanced biscuits and is ploughing through the tiny overpriced nutritionally empty tins.
Just crossing my fingers it doesn’t upset her sensitive stomach 🤞
-
-
try tossing her one of those applaws loins every so often as well? Ours know it's a rare treat, so they go fucking apeshit whenever we open The Package. Tuna and mackerel are the household faves, only mish cares for the salmons
-
I think she’d love that and want it every meal

Has anyone used the new container deposit scheme machines yet? There's one down the road from us, and we had a house-warming on Saturday so there's heaps of beer cans and bottles to recycle, probably a whole $3 worth!

Also, I didn't scream about it on Thursday + Friday. But did anyone listen to the new Beatles song? I really like it, I know a lot of people don't and that's fair. I mean it's moreso a John song but I know he wrote it and was going to give it to Paul as a "comeback" song, but obviously Paul changed some parts and the fact that it was originally not a great sound to begin with. But I think that it's a really nice send off.
The music video is very cheesy though, and tonally all over the place. But that's kind of what The Beatles are, they will have some very horny lyrics in an otherwise romantic song. Or they have some fantastic songs like on Revolver there's Here, There and Everywhere but then the next song is Yellow Submarine. So while jarring, the music video really sort of suits the vibe. What do y'all think? Here's just the audio and here's the music video.
-
I didn't think much of it at all. To my ear, if it didn't carry the name "The Beatles" in front of the title it wouldn't get a mention. I did want to like it but I found it flat and boring.
-
That is true. I mean yeah, it's very different to what they've done, it definitely feels more like a John song, like akin to Imagine, but I can see why it doesn't really feel like a Beatles song.
-
-
We played it on Friday night I thought it was OK. Not bad not great just kind of background music.
-
Understandable. I ended up buying the vinyl for it. Though had to get it through their actual website which cost me $44 inclu. shipping, as the local Australian store that they're partnered with sold out (JB Hi-Fi also doesn't have it). So more expensive, but it's the clear version and considering that that included shipping... not bad.
But yeah, mum and I love it. But I also understand why some might be apprehensive about it.

Has anyone used instant scripts for a medical cert before?
Thinking about using it as work is asking for a cert if I’m sick tomorrow as well.
-
Yeah I have and it works fine.
-
Thanks, that’s reassuring to know.
-
-
-
Just watching The Batman, 2022. Gees that's such a visually beautiful movie, great music and dialogue too.
-
🎵and the sunnnnnnn will set for youuuuuuu 🎶
-
I'm happy to work from home today (boss didn't see the point in coming into work today if tomorrow will be a day off, so still working, just don't have to put on a bra which is great). But man... being distracted because I want to do other things.
I don't know how I would've gone if I did this during the lockdowns.
-
What is some online puzzle games like wordle? We've play some different ones but looking for more. Thank you.
Ps. Can't use sound because we are playing music
-
quordle, hexordle, colorfle
-
We just played moviedle or something and my eyes hurt now.

-
Thanks for that. The trivia quiz was really good.

Got an interview tomorrow morning. Wish me luck! I really want a new role before the end of the year, preferably before my birthday in 2 weeks 🤞🏾

Interview done - went as well as it could have done, once I had to stop because my voice shook but she reassured me and I took a deep breath and went on.
A lot of the questions I'd prepared she didn't ask and a couple she asked I hadn't anticipated, but I got through them just fine and she could see how I'd think on the fly and (I hope) knew my stuff.
She said I'd probably hear by the end of the day, so fingers crossed!
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Thank you and thank you to all who crossed fingers for me earlier!
