Every time I open this sub I’m logged out of it again. Any ideas why that might happen? It’s only been a problem for the last couple of days.
There has been an upgrade which has caused some glitches, particularly around logging in. Although most people seem to have had trouble logging in in the first place. Maybe try logging out, clearing your cookies and logging in again? (make sure you know your password and can log in again first if you are relying on it being saved in the browser)
I had to update Jerboa too. And then log in again.
huh. turns out I was logged out too. o lying four tries to remember my log-in!
They have made an update. A part of that update no longer allows you to stay logged in if not in use. It frees up traffic.
-30 minutes to Holidays. Actually, fuck it. One fudge timesheet ahoy! 🍾
I’m unexpectedly a bit… sad/upset over such a couple of menial things, I’m sure it must be something else.
I’ve gotten to the point that I think retail is making me cry and I’m not even a retail worker. 🤣
I’m exhausted and need this holiday break.
Right now I’m tearing up over clips of Kamala Harris’ tour in Africa.

The Adelaide community is pretty dead there, I wonder how often non-melbournians post here?
In other news, just did some shopping for the newest once removed cousins (thank you google, I could never understand family relationships), and I think purchasing those glow in the dark stars at Big W was a great idea. We’ll see how it goes once I give it to their parents.
Welcome. Feel free to drop in any time.
Suggestion for the stars… Print out the night sky for the month/year the kid/s were/was born. Then the parent can do it on the roof of the kids bedroom. I did that with kidcalhoon1, she loves it. never did get round to it with kidcalhoon2 though 😬
Great suggestion, maybe this can be for a slightly older age, maybe 4+? I can definitely imagine being immersed in my room with the constellations that were visible on my birthday.
The star’s would have to be smaller to provide a bit more fidelity - the ones I got were the assorted pack of various sizes and colors.
As others welcome!

Curious about everyone’s response with this one.
2 spoons instant, 1 spoon sugar, little hot water, and the rest milk. (Basically coffee flavoured milk)
I usually don’t buy barista coffee very often due to me being a cheapskate but when I do it’ll be a mocha if I suspect they use good quality cocoa, or the good ol flat white. No syrup / flavourings. May use a sachet of their sugar if I’m feeling sweet toothed or to round off the bitterness.
Welcome! Obviously let the kidos make up their own minds, but I suggest totally random, or carefully actuate be deliberately chosen.
I’ve asked their parents for a theme. I don’t know how I’ll feel taking their few month old & 2 yr old out shopping with their parents!
I’ve gotten the older ones (1 & 2) the melamine bowls & plates, I hope for them to stick around in their pantry until they’re adults :)
The stars are for the few month old one.
My husband who is a HUGE history buff walked in on my kid and myself watching Cunk on Earth. His puzzled look made me laugh. 😂
i like to think I’m a bit of a history nerd and I love cunk 😂💗😂
He’s smiling but the cogs are going haywire. 😂
Hey CEO. How are you feeling today?
Much better today thank you.
Glad to hear. Has the swelling gone down?
Yes. It’s still there but not so bad today.
such a brilliant show.
It’s been a bit of a fruitful day today - summer fruits time has started in earnest, and the food cupboard was bountiful. I got 8 punnets of starting to go mouldy strawberries, and once I removed the dodgy pieces I have about 3 punnets worth of useable fruit (mostly cut up and in the freezer for a future jam). I’ve also got lots of bruised peaches & nectarines, along with a few apricots and plums (also in the freezer, after the bruised sections removed and the good bits cut up).
I also harvested the final cherries from my tree - they are cooking cherries, so not as sweet as good eating cherries. I have already bottled a few jars for the cupboard this year, so I’ll freeze the rest for jam & to go in overnight oats and suchlike.
This is awesome and sounds very delicious.
I managed to make enough jam from discarded fruit last year to supply myself all year, give a few jars as gifts, plus donate half a dozen jars and some coconut jam slice back to the food cupboard. Hopefully I can do the same again this year 🙂
Been taking out my anger and stress and anxiety by gardening. I appear to have killed my whipper snipper. Burned out it’s motor in long grass I think. Fresh battery and nothing happens when I press the trigger.
Any chance it’s still under warranty?
A reminder Sasha is coming to town soon. Do not annoy Sasha.
Icelandic Yule cat will also be policing your wardrobe.
Too late to avoid Krampus.
Sooooo, milk and sardines? Then we can smell Sasha coming.
Not if you happen to be first stop on whichever list 🐟
Cardboard box. Sasha will be mine.
Oh cunning bacon. Now what?
Now I get all the presents and become Santa.
I promise I have been very goodly naughty
I will get you the goodest naughty present.
I have a new shirt. I am safe from the Yule Cat.
I have a new dress. It doesn’t fit, nobody mentioned that counting
Gotta look out for the Yule Lads too
My brain is not parsing if this is pun about logs, drunken British youth, or both.
Neither, its more Icelandic folklore ;)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Christmas_folklore#:~:text=The Yule Lads are the,last 13 nights before Yule.Oh, cool! Thanks for adding another oddity to my brain bank.
Co-worker, sounding somewhat whimsical but defeated: “Spin, what am I doing?”
Me: “Dude, you’re talking to the girl who’s got her shoes off in your office, walking on bubble wrap. I’m not sure if I’m the person to ask.”
*Mufasa Yawn* ok I’m up. Friggin smoke detector maintenance guy is coming “between 7:30am and 9:30am” so I - the idiot who hasn’t learned after all these years - was up and showered before 7:30am knowing full well that he’ll turn up at 9:28am.
Edit: 8:45! Took all of 2 minutes and he’s gone.
The one year you’re not awake and ready at 7.30am he will show up at 7.28am 😂
Ugh. I have to book one of these. The actual tradies are fine, the ‘service’ staff are an overseas nightmare

Ted Cat is filling out very nicely 😊
Tired. Accidentally put carpet cleaner in the dish washer. I cleaned out as much as I could. 😬
Dishwasher is going thru a second cycle to make sur that stuff is gone
i almost put dish soap instead of ketchup on my eggs this morning
omg, close escape, that would have been horrible
I can confirm that dishwashing liquid does not taste like lemon.
I’ve just been to the dentist and had a filling done. My mouth is still numb, my smie lop-sided and my teeth feel like weird imposter teeth. I have a couple more fillings scheduled for next year, and a broken tooth that is being referred to a specialist for removal, so I’m sure that one’s going to be great fun to have removed (and pricey as well, no doubt). Agh, teeth.
At least it is a lovely day & the walk there and back was really quite pleasant.
I have a door and some strings. Free of charge if you come to me.
I would take you up on that, but there is nothing to attach the string to at this point. Just some remnant roots hanging out very close to my sinus.
I have knives of various sizes, but I cannot guarantee there will not be nerve damage.
Hmm, I think I might just stick with the surgical removal from a qualified professional for this one.
I don’t know what Coles do to their Coles branded baked beans but I’ve been having the worst indigestion I’ve had in as long as I can remember. Will not be revisiting. Do not recommend. Not fun for the whole family. Two thumbs down.
probably didn’t soak them enough before cooking
There’s some youngsters singing karaoke (maybe in the park). I don’t recognise the songs and they sound terrible and possibly drunk. I should get dressed and go over there and show them how it’s done. That’ll scare them home.
either go out in the most disheveled home clothes or in a night gown
My pink fluffy dressing gown and a smoke tucked behind my ear. “Oi give us a go and not this shit either”.
TOMMY USED TO WORK ON THE DOCKS!! 🎵
I know that one very well!
I think that was the first song I torrented.
😂 I remember when the album came out. I play this quite regularly in the middle of a Friday night session without words too.
Don’t forget the fluffy pink bunny slippers.
Ooo. I have pink fluffy ones but they’re not bunnies 😔
perfection
