When I getting home last night, the neighbours dog was locked out the front of their place and trying to get in and pretty frantic. Good doggo for not running away.
But they have this nuts security on their front gate. So I pressed the intercom thing… neighbour pressed a button in their house, then all of a sudden a loud alarm went off and 2 massive red lights started flashing for about 10 seconds. Felt dystopian af and scared the shit outta me for few seconds there. She’s a lovely neighbour and was very appreciative, but man, that gate is nightmare fuel.
The one time I locked my dog outside he sat on the porch and cried.
what? Door bells and intercoms are there to be pressed.
They had a break in a few years ago where thieves broke in whilst they were sleeping and stole car keys from their bedroom. So the dude went all out security wise. I think she may have pressed the wrong button to open the front gate initially and hit the alarm. Even though I was returning their pooch my first instinct was to run, doggo be damned heh. Definitely did what it was to meant to do.
well that is understandable then
I got a load of dvds, including a few whole series, today. Looking forward to watching Easy Rider and other faves with commentary.
sadly, I think commentaries are just not a common thing for new movies anymore
I’m fan of Easy Rider as well🙂 I’ve seen it maybe 15 times? It’s weird haha.
15 ! I’m impressed, I’ve only seen it twice …lol . This one has commentary by Dennis Hopper. 🙂
I got Singing in the Rain with commentary and The Bride of Frankenstein with a doco and commentary by a film historian. And loads of other movies too, most double disc sets and still in the wrapper. I’m pretty chuffed and excited. 🙂
I find Nicholsons part so bizarre and funny at the campfire scene. The Hopper commentary would be a riot. How would he even remember clearly ? lol.
I have never watched a movie with commentary on so let us know how you find it.
I will. Gotta get my players set up properly again and then it’s a go. 🙂
spent the past few months collecting vintage knits, summer and winter. Mostly 70s and 80s. Really hard to find good ones. Took out so many shoulder pads…lol
It’s so hard to find good quality clothes. Even the expensive stuff these days is often rubbish quality, the price is just paying for a name and not substance. It’s good the knits have been found by a person who appreciates them.
it’s hit and miss
I just spent a fair bit buying a robe at peter alexander, it fit ok in the store but wearing it at home it’s heavy and it doesn’t sit right. I won’t be wearing it 🤷♀️
It seems 2 out 3 new garments are crap , which I suppose is a good argument for buying good quality vintage
Last night I watched Judgement in Nuremberg again, for the 11th time. Time to get preachy.
This time I watched to see every single instance where an everyday person could have done the right thing and saved a person
to see what everyday people can do and what people really did.
This movie is real life, it was taken from transcripts, so these are real actions real people took.
So in little ways, and it all adds up to a big picture, many people did the moral thing and the legal thing. They refused to wear a swastika, they defended people who were attacked . They refused to falsely accuse people.
Where people failed, they did not do the moral thing and they did not follow the law. The police did not charge the attackers. People made false accusations. They made false judgements. Each instance adds up to a bad society.
the servants who said they could do nothing could have encouraged their son to be a conscientious objector. They could have protested the death camp, they could have resigned from working for a war criminal. Yes, it has a cost but the cost of not doing that was far far greater.
we must follow our consciences and remember that each small action we take reinforces our personal and social belief that each individual has value.
thank you for listening
do not give up being a good person, it is our greatest weapon against evil
what I mean to say, we don’t have to do big things to fight, just being our good selves in everyday life is fighting , so we don’t have to feel hopeless and like we can’t do anything
Good night everyone, sweet dreams 😘
Ugh… I forgot and washed new items in with others and it’s transferred a chemical stink to them. Almost all of that type of clothing and the most annoying for me to replace. -_- Trying to remove the smell with baking soda and vinegar.
To add insult to injury the new clothing isn’t all that great. It better not have ruined my usual stuff
I’m chipping away at Mt Washmore and did two loads to mostly clear Mt Dishmore. Also gave Melbcat’s fur a wipe down with a facewasher where she’d spat medicine on herself. I need to remember to use the bib.
Craving chocolate but the one I like now seems to have milk in it… Guess it’s cocoa weather anyway
kudos, I don’t know anyone who tries harder than you 😘
Twelvies on the internet are so annoying
Hard agree!
Someone poke me to get up and do one (1) laundry
I did two (2) loads of laundry at the laundromat, just finished now and dumped it all on the bed.
If I can do it, you can too! Go get that Mt Washmore!! I believe in you!! 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼💪🏼💪🏼
I’ve got the lighter delicates on and then will do some regular clothes

Ugh… I think I planted everything way too late. I’ve just planted the pumpkins out and already the leaves are starting to fall.
I’m wondering if I should make that compost bin to dispose of the leaves but it requires buying a drill (which I would probably have to do in person due to parcel thieves) and then either getting the (expensive) outdoor bin delivered or trying to scrape out some time for someone to drive me to get it.
I could use a plastic tub I have but they’re a bit small and not uv safe so will crumble apart and leave compost everywhere.
And I wonder if I would even use the compost. Getting a bit discouraged about gardening. Lately it seems everything I do here just backfires and becomes more trouble than it’s worth. Also wondering if it will stay warm enough to properly rot things down if I start it now.
I could ask someone to pick up my order…
But compost bin to deal with leaves, yay or nay?
compost bin to deal with leaves
Yea I do. Some of the waxy leaves take a bit longer though. Is good stuff!
How many leaves to dispose of? A whole deciduous tree or just the odd garden prunings? If it’s not many, a zero effort alternative is just scatter the leaves around the garden beds. They will dry or rot depending on the weather, act as mulch for a while, and then breakdown into the soil. Natures compost, just like in real environments. If you have foodstuffs you want to dispose of, that’s different and composting is the way to go.
Quite a lot from an a-hole neighbour’s deciduous tree, also grass trimmings from invasive grass originating from another neighbour.
I could do that but it looks really messy and Karens try to report my yard
Old baby is cuddling.
There’s a retro event on at Tallboy and Moose right now. We might go, but I’m taking the girlfriend to dinner and a show in the city, so timing will need to make it worth it
Procrastination. I ought be packing. Instead I am turning a brick into a frog door stopper.
Have found my house vendor trying to get rid of furniture on FB. If the place isn’t properly empty tomorrow this could get complicated.
If furniture is still there, it’s legally yours!
^not actual legal advice^
I believe no. Involuntary bailee is the term I’m aware of. Don’t want the stuff or the headache.
Post on the other site about this
Not sure if it applies though.
That lines up with what I know, thank you.
Can’t sleep. Many sirens. Wrong sort of exciting.
