Love gibson's drool on the pillow lol.
I've gotta stop giving her treats on there lol
If you were a man in space, wouldn't your space junk be moving around a bit unless it was strapped to your leg or something?
Not for a mission to Uranus
Second this. I just spat out my cup of tea.
They probably have supportive undergarments. Same for women needing support for their busty substances.
Busty substances? More like lusty bustances
๐ฅ
It's from Peter Cook and Dudley Moore ...lol
I have an album of theirs on vinyl.
When a man in space doesn't have undies on, it's called "going cosmonaut"
Hahaha. There's always one.
boss hits me wanting to look at a site that had already come back online. I tell him all G and mention that a friend passed over this weekend.
his response? "Thanks"
I don't expect the world to stop but jesus fucking christ.
Where's the fuckin' compassion?! Did he just not listen or just glossed over it? Hope you're doing okay though, sending hugs and warmth.
hugs
I spent a big chunk of yesterday cooking and cleaning for family dinner. Cooked for 6 adults. I made leek , bacon and chicken pies with steamed vegie sides. Delicious. I made 16 pies so I had lots left over. That was for dinner and lunches the rest of the week and some for the young Seagoons too.
Miss Seagoon made some dairy free brownies, which are delicious too. โบ๏ธ
So, MIL asks to take some pies home. She's very elderly and doesn't cook anymore. I said no. She was angry but hid it well.
But she's so old.
I call this consequences. I offered 3 times over the years to cook all her meals and bring them to her frozen once a month. Free. She said no, saying she can't eat my cooking. Then she calls family and tells everyone I am mean and don't look after her
In the past when I gave her food to take home she refused to return containers and my good bags, even mocking me when I asked , saying she now uses them all for holding rubbish.
So the answer is no. She's lucky she gets anything at all.
Interestingly no one disagreed with me saying I should look after really old lady.
F*cking good for you mate! ๐ช๐ผI had similar with my exMIL.

They see what's going on. They're familiar with her bullshit.
and yet no one has ever stuck for me, ever
the young seagoons will but they are only ones, also, they haven't had to yet
It can be difficult to stand up to your own parent, it's so often dismissed. Probably more so with how your MIL sounds. Everyone's probably rejoicing at someone giving her some friction for her behaviour.
She made her bed, she gets to lie in it. Good on you!
so tired, stayed up late 3 nights and up early
might do a few tasks and then go to bed and listen to books
All monday work chores done, and it's only 11 am ish. Time to make inroads on the dreaded shredding. My offsider did a lot of it on Friday, but there's still a massive amount to feed into the mafchine. It's a good thing we get it picked up and turned into cardboard boxes.
Listening to Still Alive by Jonathan Coulton and remember how great he is.
His cover of Baby Got Back is hands down the best (excepting weird al of course). Catchy af.
Love it! Somehow strangely sexy
Got my Flu shot at Chemist Warehouse for $21 as a walk in.
Can you claim that back through work as well?
I cannot.
It's great how easily available these are now.
excellent , everyone should get one
Aaaaand back to regular programming. -_-
beach
My will power failed me and I bought lots of chocolate and lollies.
Then I ate all the chocolate and some of the lollies and now I feel a bit sick.
But I still keep eating lollies anyway, because sugar.
Damn you, hormonally fueled appetite.
๐ญ
same, I bought a very small box of turkish delight , had 8 pieces in it, I ate them over two days as a mother's day special treat.
otherwise 2 weeks with no lollies so far
yum yum, I just had a mothers day dairy free brownie for afternoon tea โบ๏ธ
I'm at that stage health-wise where I wake up with a scratchy throat and a bunch of phlegm, but after a dose of a bunch of drugs I feel fine, and generally do for the rest of the day. It's like I need to clear out the system and have a bit of a kick-start to get going
bunch of phlegm
Mmmm a tasty treat before brekky
I growl it out and hack it down the sink. Needs hot water to get moving
๐
You do that in my sink, I'll make you go after it. ๐ก
I flush them down, I don't just leave them there
Grollies go outside or in the toilet.
sinks are full of saliva from dirty dishes
just clean the sink well
I just installed everything again after the ALT+TAB reset on the work computer. My laptop wanted to install an update again so I played the brick lottery and it still works, and so does ALT+TAB again
