Mice are so cute!!! Ugh, their little paws, their little noses, their cute eyes. This course is great just for doing health checks on mice tbh

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

They smell and they shit everywhere. That's why cats were invented.

Hehehe yeah it shat in my hand, but it's cuteness made it worth it

get a female mouse, it's the males who mark territory and stink up the place

I had one years ago I called Nibbler.

Grant me strength oh mighty Odin.

I need to go and pick up my car from being serviced. It will either work out well, or I will be caught in a storm half way through my walk and come home soggy. 🀞

Good luck! I’m going to quickly take out the bins before it rains!

wifi, one bar. why since i can see huge fricken aerials through the window from where i'm sitting πŸ™„

If the rain and wind could hold off until say 9pm that'd be great. I'm meant to be doing outdoor cooking with kids this evening.

Odd question, but do ya'll ever plan out other lives for yourself? Occasionally I'll just sit on realestate and and look shit up. Might be like "alright, if I split with the mrs can I afford to buy a unit? where am I gonna live?" or "Fuckit, lets all move up to bright! I hate it here, alright what can we afford?"

I find it really therapeutic for some reason. These alternate lives I'll never live out.

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

I sometimes wonder what it’s be like to be a dog or cat when I see them.

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

I always thought dreams were my alternate lives in the multiverse. That's how I look at it anyway

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago (2 children)

Frickin hope not. Cause my alternate selves die a ton and also have a bunch of orgasmless sex.

[–] Lady_Seagoon 1 points 7 hours ago

I sometimes find my daydreaming self inserting myself into works of fiction - such a Sherlock Holmes, the Vorkosiverse etc. Probably a symptom of deep psychosis.

I am OFTEN on the bridge of a warship protecting the earth. Usually heroically telling the crew to abandon ship as I fight impossible odds bravely sacrificing myself.

Good to know its not just me.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

That's so cool - what's your battle soundtrack?!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 hours ago

Usually just a bunch of alarms, explosions ect. Despite the lack of sound in space it sure is a loud experience. I'm CONVINCED its linked to my anxiety cause I dissociate hard.

Looking at houses in locations I'd love to live in but can't afford is a real one. Also, I was deeply fantasising about moving to NYC when I travelled there a couple of years back, asking people I met there about their experience in moving, even though I knew deep down that I'd never do it. It's nice to dream!

I've definitely planned out what to do with large lotto wins I will never have. Looked at moving overseas or interstate. I've considered moving into a unit right in the centre of Melbourne so I can enjoy all the activities there, or moving to a big block of land in the middle of nowhere and fixing up a rundown place.

I think it is a healthy thing to do, as long as you are not doing it with rose-coloured glasses and making yourself unhappy with your current circumstances. If you are doing it realistically it often ends up highlighting things that are important to you - things you would miss if you made different choices, and sometimes things you really want that you are actually able to do now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

I do the lottery thing regularly. I don't resent my current life, but love to imagine what it would be like to not worry about bills and just live life.

Personally I'd have a place in like Daylesford or similar. Trees, pond, dogs, fireplace etc.

Doing nothing would be blissful.

Bought some 1980s Target clothes. The quality of old target is as good as country road, trenery , and witchery now etc. Not that those labels were ever great but they were good. Which shows how far the chain stores have enshittified

I had so many things I was going to do this morning, and here we are after Noon and they remain undone.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 hours ago

Ditto here except now it’s 4:30 :(

Where had my day gone?

[–] Lady_Seagoon 1 points 7 hours ago

northern suburbs observations

Why birkenstocks with socks?

Dogs on trams. Saw a dachshund in a bag, ❀️

The op shops are getting ridic on pricing. Buying new is becoming a viable option unless you want a vintage style.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 12 hours ago (2 children)

wandered up to the broadbents around the corner with our garden trolley and oh my god we are gonna do so much damage at that place. Landscape supplies within a five min trolley stroll that sell shittons of good quality compost and mulch? mwah. Mwahahhaha. MWAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA

Little bit of a rambling. I'm sitting here writing notes, made a mistake so I scrubbed it out and then I realised I can erase it out because it's an erasable gel pen. Then I remembered the old pen rubbers that did diddly squat but rip your paper so everyone used liquid paper instead. Got me thinking.

What has come a long way (for the better) since your childhood?
