Mount Dishmore is getting impressive again… it’s all “soaking”.
I just remembered something though. You can’t use normal dishwashing liquid in a dishwasher (especially a mini one) because excessive foam can damage the machine.
But somewhere recommended putting baking soda in the dispenser with 2 drops of dish soap. Maybe I could get away with using one drop with the bicarb.
I also know that vinegar reduces foaming (with a risk of damaging rubber pipes or seals if it sits).
It’s worth a shot. I already know I’m not getting a refund and the extra work of trying to manually scrub and rinse the strong soap off everything afterwards means it’s sitting unused.
This fabric happened to be pure cotton because it’s the outer shell of a pillow I’m salvaging for parts. The ‘skin’ of it is being used in a practice run for a doll pattern I sketched onto a grid and the filling will be used to stuff the doll.
I bought a meter of calico because it was cheap but I really think fabrics with a bit of stretch would work better
I was so tired I fell asleep attached to a TENS machine with a horror movie playing. 😑 So that’s how life is going.
The stuff is here. I’m going to see if I have the energy to split up and rewrap the pack of soap (just so one person doesn’t get 8 bars and everyone else gets none). The tp is the thin rough Delsey but it’s the easiest least suss way to distribute individual rolls.
The fabric pieces of this doll got wrinkled so I have to iron them again before sewing. Note to self - 100% cotton fabric wrinkles super easily and is not a forgiving choice.
One of the earliest set pumpkins is looking bigger and a few are yellowing… please hurry 🙏❄️💀
Realistically I know the cold is probably going to kill them and I might not get any ripe. The Jack Be Little are frost tender (oh no both kinds are) and the Golden Nuggets haven’t even started female flowers yet.
But I’m treating this as a practice run so I learn more about their needs and hopefully can be more prepared in Spring. Hopefully these at least develop enough to get some nice pics before they’re consigned to the compost.
It was weird. I had taken two Panamax in the morning for cramps and then 4 hours later the pain was coming back so I took another two… then suddenly I developed a headache and serious nausea and was googling for any recent recalls because I knew for sure I hadn’t taken too many pills.
I’ve never had that happen before. And I used to use Panamax years ago. I use the 60 cent Coles brand now and have had no issues there :/ Haven’t noticed anything amiss with Hedanol either.
I’m so sorry. I’ve been in that place myself and sometimes all you can do is be there.
Accessibility options might help return a sense of control and help her take her mind off things but it’s really hard to be in that position and hopelessness does kick in.
Wtf. You can now only buy two packs at a time of paracetamol and the max pack size at the supermarket is 16. I remembered hearing about that change and didn’t worry because I barely used it then but it’s come in right as I’ve started needing to use it regularly. (I have the option of prescription painkillers but prefer to avoid the risks and make do with over the counter.)
It’s bullshit anyway. You can just get around it by adding a few more boxes of a different brand or hitting up different shops. If someone wants to misuse it they will.
The problem is I get delivery around weekly to fortnightly and can’t really pop out just to get one thing. Under the new restrictions I could still get a 50 pack of Panamax from the pharmacy but that brand is really rough on my body for some reason.
All this has done is make life more difficult for disabled people.
