Well I will be. The nice pest control ossifer that I rang up for this morning turned up almost to the minute. Will be removing 2 wasp nests. If wasps still present after a week, they come back and do it again. Could get used to this sort of service.
edit: Surprise of the week. One of the wasp nests wasn’t wasps - it was bees. European honey bees. So that nest wasn’t poisoned, but dug up and the nice pest control ossifer took it home with him in a bucket to add to his collection of hives. There may be some stray worker bees looking for it over the next few days but he successfully found the queen and two baby queens too. The nest didn’t have much honey in it, so I freely gifted him with any that was there. He then reduced the quoted cost cos the quoted cost included the chemicals for destroying 2 wasp nests and only 1 lot was used. Shout out to him.
This is a story which makes me happy! I’m still peeved at my kids school because there was a bee hive/nest thing in a tree and they brought in exterminators who fumigated with toxic chemicals and killed all the bees. The kids said when they went out to play there were all these bees dying and convulsing on the ground 🥺 I like how your story goes better: bees saved and taken to where they’re useful, and wasps sent to hell in a haycart 👍
For those that drink or make coffee with froth on top.
How much is an acceptable amount of froth and how much is unacceptable?
Depends which type of coffee you want! As long as you have enough espresso I think it’s really up to you.
Hmm I don’t really understand the chart and how it corresponds to froth.
- I don’t understand this one…Not something you would really find around these parts. Filter coffee with espresso shots
just enough to get the taste and texture of froth but I’m there for the coffee
You mean coffee froth, or milk froth?
The coffee froth is technically called ‘crema’. In my espressos I like just enough to wet my moustache.
Milk froth.
I normally order lattes.
Ah gotcha. For a latte I like a little bit of froth, but find that baristas usually put too much so I stick with flat whites mostly.

Is this the one who’s been self destructing?
I’m sorry gibsy. I’m not sure this is the case, although it probably does feel like it but I’m sure you won’t be judged about your past as much as it feels like you might. Those people don’t even know you, they’re probably not likely to pass too much judgement
Try not to let it affect your trust too much (which I realise is easier said than done). There’s still good people out there, and speaking from experience, isolating yourself won’t help

I’m so sorry.
I was thinking about what you wrote, how he was doing things to teach people a lesson.
That’s just crazy, what would be the point?
It’s really just sadism framed with words that blame the victim.
He’s a bad person.

Ugh. That is awful. What a POS.
Is this the bloke who use you as an emotional crutch whilst he fucks away his life?
Maaaaan how pathetic do you have to be that someone respectfully tells you that they need space so you proceed to dump on them to make yourself feel better? Dudes done you a favor bro, hes made a very clear statement: “I’m a piece of shit and your time spent being my friend is wasted”.
Also its 2024, if other folks dunk on you for overcoming a substance abuse issue that’s just more trash taking itself out.

I’m over being ashamed of it.
damn fucking straight! you should be proud as shit bro
Sitting in a city office, after having spent 2 hours getting here. Wearing a with mask, listening to all the coughing around me. Doing work that I could do just fine at home. Wearing headphones with music on to block out the noise from all the other people on teams meetings, so no “culture and collaboration” is happening. How has the world come to this absolute bullshit of “return to office, Covid is over, back to having no life”?

My husband is on holidays. We declared tomorrow “Operation Special Biscuit Day” while the kid is at school. We are trying to think of everything we may need so we don’t need to leave the house. So far on the list is chicken nuggets.
beer
That’s always stocked.
Lube.
WD-40 ✅
pjur
German made! The man will be so into this! He loves German made stuff! Thanks.
Laundry liquid
👍
and Barry White albums haha
What kind of debauchery do you think we’re gonna get up to? My plan is a couple of biscuits and a game of Twister.
Hey I’m all for your kinky “twister” fetish. Live and let live I say. Just make sure you have a safe word so things don’t get out of hand.😉😃
Deep Heat! Deep Heat! Deep Heat!

Don’t know about you but I’d go pizza and lollies more snacks
We bought a box of party pies, cheese & bacon rolls, ice creams, peanut m&ms, chips etc. The funny thing is I don’t even get the munchies. They’re there just in case.
@CEOofmyhouse56 @Duenan Fun pack of mini Mars bars?
Tempting but I went with too many pizzas, lollies, drumsticks, jam and a bottle of pink moscato.
Ooo. They’ll go nicely with the whipped cream.
@CEOofmyhouse56 Also, maybe a good sauv blanc.
That’s not necessarily for the biscuit day — you have kids, you deserve it 😊
Already got a six pack of beer chilling. Biscuit Day may turn into Party Night.
I’m about to go do an Aldi trip.
God help me, no idea what I’m going to come out with.
The middle aisles are a trap.
all hail melatonin
Must get around to trying that 🧠🧠
I was so stressed earlier today that it triggered my asthma and I was getting really short on breath. That was a experience as a new asthma sufferer. Many Ventolin puffs and a good gym session later, feeling much more relaxed. Night rain helps too although it’s really coming down.
I fear I may have developed a chocolate pudding addiction. I have had chocolate pudding with custard for dessert 3 nights in a row, and now I have some in the oven for lunch. If this continues I may end up having breakfast pudding.

Depends on the calibre of what you’re reading… Tbh I find most commercial news in Australia to be exactly that, parochial and petty bourgeois

The new cordless 2-in-1 stick vac actually is fairly quiet on the low setting.
There are a few drawbacks. Like it’s not that powerful on the low setting so might take a few passes (and lifting it a bit) for bigger particles like tracked paper litter, the canister fills up fairly quickly with cat hair, and the filter might be harder to clean + no replacement filters on sale because Kmart. No upholstery attachment, only one crevice tool with brush.
But it’s a lot easier to use, folds down small, the handheld pops out easily and the sound is not too bothersome to Melbcat. Alright for quick cleans.
I have found the vacuum cleaner that is quick and easy to use is the one that keeps carpets cleaner.
Yeah, the screaming one with the cord and the broken remove-handle button works better - but only gets used once in a while, during the day, and in a different room to the cat. So not often.

Ironically, Ms Faranda was politely asked by hosts of The Project to hand her baby to her partner last night after the child’s crying disrupted the interview.
HA!!
Yeah, I took the kids out all the time when they were babies. Shops, markets, cafes etc. I never took them to a cinema or a show, because that would be inconsiderate.I’m all about parental rights, and absolutely all about parental facilities catering to dads. But my rights end at the point where they impinge on yours.
I took little miss seagoon to see bambi when she was five, matinee of course, at valhalla
I also took her to see Cats when she was about 7
here’s the thing, by considering the needs of the child the child will be content and happy and easy , any place where where the child is going to miserable you don’t take them and that also works out for the other people there
I feel so bad for that baby in the news

She 100% would be the person who takes their baby to the movies (to see a non-kids film). The entitlement is off the charts.
She deliberately went into the performance knowing it might be an issue, and then is shocked pikachu when she got booted.
Munchausen by proxy… sorta
used the child to get attention for herself
The thing is when you make a mistake and everyone does, you say “I am sorry. I didn’t mean to make anyone uncomfortable and I apologise” then you end it.
The “fuss” is just media hype bullshit.
Also it was clearly advertised as 15plus. To me that’s not just a content warning but an indication that it’s not a kids event.

Second dinner was partaken of and I’m not even sorry!
What was the casserole?
The casserole was beef and vegetables, nothing fancy but very tasty.
Mmm. Sounds good
some rain has snuck up.
oh my gosh, that’s a lotta rain 😟
Looked into the hubbl thing for my mum because she doesn’t have a smart enough TV and I see it’s from foxtel but it doesn’t offer foxtel apps on the service. Seems weird.
It’s weird.
Telstra are killing off Telstra TV for fetch, as they now own a stake in Fetch. Foxtel are also selling Hubble boxes, so it sounds like a self cannibalising market.
