I remember seeing something on Bamboo too and how we should be trying harder to grow it and use it as a core material. But growers are also reluctant. I admit I'm a bit outside of my domain of expertise on this but it seems we could be doing a lot better.

I'm in Vic and work once called for a wellbeing check-in on me (bipolar). Thankfully the main cop spoke to seemed lovely and just wanted to chat, asked me what day it was etc. to check whether I was psychotic or not. His partner was much more.... Shitty. Asked only a couple of questions but made it feel like an interrogation that put me on edge and that made him more on edge. The main cop shut him down though thankfully.

Thank you, appreciate it

I met her at a night some friends run that cater to the comedy crowd. Was also so uplifting and chatty. So sad to hear the news...

Dealing with work and personal stress today. Work is more I'm having to work around someone in my team who is... Shit. Personal is just relationship stuff. We need to sort out our communication style because right now we escalate fights because of miscommunication. We're sorting it out and going to see a relationship counsellor which will be good,

So just stressed as both personal and professional stuff is meh. Also my deep-fryer overflowed tonight and I'm pissed about it since it shouldn't have happened and now cleaning up the mess. :P

Stressed out and can't sleep sadly. Work is doing my head in....

Daylight savings fucks with my sleep for at least a week and I'm waking up way too early*

Stressing a bit about work just because there's too much shit going on and feel like I'm just meeting jumping. Probably going to get reamed by management when they get back on Monday for not having enough stuff done although I'm not sure when I was supposed to have the time to do it...

*for me...

There is also dancesafe.org that's been around for 25-odd years in the US too. Ever since I heard about it in the late 90s/early 2000s I thought we should totally have an org like that here in Aus too.

Not quite. I'm pretty sure I have at least one spare floating around. Will take a pic when I get the chance!

Oh sorry, I went a bit tangential with my thinking there :) Yeah IUDs are usually very effective - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=huy2H7fJnV4

Dark Helmet: I am your father’s brother’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommate.

Lone Star: So what does that make us?

Dark Helmet: Absolutely nothing.

There's a brand (I think it's a small bakery here) that uses an awesome dual-wire one that I always keep because it is more a 'clamp/clasp' clip than a 'tie/twist wire' clip

Good to hear! Yeah they're fairly liberal with giving vasectomies here, plus most are 'microsurgery' ones which are technically* reversible. I've heard trying to get women's steralisation is SIGNIFICANTLY harder though unfortunately and a lot is "Oh, well you might want kids later!"

*Maybe...

Nah, but was keeping it safe/covering my bases given my age. And it was from my psychologist not psychiatrist (should have clarified).

Mine was... A couple of hundred in AUD? And managed to get it at 31 too. Knew I never ever wanted kids, had a letter from my psych and the doctor asked me a few questions and said "Yeah, I get it..."

Snip snip, some pain for about 5 days and all done. Don't regret it one bit.

edit: Mine is technically reversible but from what I read the chances of that being successful drops each year.

When I started diving in to philosophy I found The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy to have handy to go "What the fuck did I just read?!" too

I've had a similar experience with online dating - chatting with people, then went on multiple dates where it became obvious they didn't actually want a relationship (although I was quite open about the fact that I did) or they were just not a good match for me. I agree with a comment higher as well about the 'spark' thing as I was realising I just wasn't feeling that with any of them. I've had people say before that they were just on them for validation rather than having any intent on dating.

That said, I actually deleted Hinge about a month ago as I was just kinda sick of it and one of the people I'd been on a date with prior (who I actually did have a spark for but the date was just a bit odd as we hadn't quite 'clicked' with our interaction styles yet and I suck at actually flirting) wanted to catch up again. We've been dating exclusively for over a month now.

I'll agree with your comment about the disparity as we joked about our online dating experiences - she'd been on some 20-30 dates and in even more conversations with guys after being on it for 4 weeks. I had been on 5 dates and 12-odd chats in 6 months and a lot of those chats just ended up going nowhere when you ask engaging questions and get either absolutely nothing or single word replies.

Nailed it

Hahaha thanks. She's a gorgeous Maine Coon. Vocal as hell as well which can be... frustrating. :)

I'm off today. Work I've had a lot of conflict and ended the day early to go for a walk, but also there's a few things I just need to rant about sorry...! Also have a picture of my cat showing how I feel today!
