Fark. Never expected that tonight. Thought it was going to be a one sided demolition.
3 quarter time and scores are level! Game’s on!
Bloody oath, it feels like a Friday night, stupid Thursday night footy.
Health insurance hike? Go fuck yeself
Ooh, I just got one of those too. Grumpy
And that’s WITH the rebate. Without the rebate, it’d be a $150 hike. For a fucking childless couple with no claims apart from dental and some glasses. Fucking madness.
Cushion 1 is complete. I’m very pleased with the pattern matching.
Five more cushions to go.
Nice job!
Magic
Good job!
wow, that looks great and such beautiful work 🙂
Gorgeous!!
The calico waits for me every day. I was late last night and she was still there waiting.
Soooooo easy to pick up and place in my pocket lol
aw, I love her.
Using uTube on the TV as a stereo is proving to be infested with Clive Palmer bullshit currently. Need to get off my arse and replace the dead unit. Argh, more decisions.
It’s absolute brain rot. I can only handle it by running smart tube next as a YouTube replacement
Trigger warning: ASD, ADHD
So a couple of weeks ago I had a phone chat with my oldest sister, someone I’ve always admired and think is pretty awesome. When I was a kid she was my idol, so artistic and clever, rebellious and political. She told me about her recent autism and ADHD diagnosis (I was pretty surprised). She knows our father’s side of the family better than I do, and pointed out a pretty strong case for ASDs running on dad’s side of the family. We ended up talking for over 4 hours. Some of the things she said seemed oddly familiar, in a way that played on my mind up until last night, when I did an online Autism Spectrum Quotient self assessment and landed right in the mid zone for Asperger’s. Some of the questions were almost creepy in a "how did they know?" kind of way. I told the kids and Elder asked if they (the kids) had ever been assessed. I had to admit no, they hadn’t, because nobody has ever suggested it. If your kids are well behaved and do the right things when required without meltdowns and ostentatious or eccentric behaviour then they generally won’t suggest it. Now I’m thinking about it for Elder, because from what I’ve been reading he and I have a lot of parallels with it. My sister welcomed her diagnosis and said it felt like, for most of her life, she’d been operating a complex piece of equipment without a manual and then was finally given one. If he doesn’t have an ASD, fine; but if he does then this knowledge may help him in his further development and understanding of himself, and assist his school with modes of delivery for his education. I figure if it’s a good idea (given the revelations about my family) then better sooner rather than later to be of most use to him. Otherwise I’m feeling a bit weird about the whole thing, like you’re feeling like there’s going to be a knock at the door and then there is.
There are a ton of resources at https://www.reddit.com/r/aspergirls/wiki That you might find varying degrees of useful. I had my “holy shit!” Moment after 40 and so much stuff just made more sense
Mine was when my kid was diagnosed as a teenager so I did a heap of research, including on how it presents differently in girls. It was like, ohhhh, that explains a lot!
I had put much of my social stuff down to having attended a very weird primary school and never having learned early enough because of the restriction. Still could be a factor, but ASD makes broader sense.
Thanks for this!
It is super common for women and girls to not receive a diagnosis and be left to struggle. And it is genetic.
Might be good to know if it’s the case so he doesn’t blame himself for being different
Just had my fourth root canal and a really aggressive antibiotic filling to hopefully make up for my compromised immune system.
Fingers crossed that it works because the next stop is evicting the tooth.
omg, I just found a mouse hole behind the bookcase, they chewed a hole through the wall!!
steel wool it
there are no mice anymore, not since I got Bill
Practise bum bites are good training
Went to the night market last night and where I went to get refuge from the swarms of people and eat, a guy was wearing a hat that said “Make Australia Great Again” which I think was for the UAP. Yikes.
Yikes indeed.
Sending you a pm as well about something when you have time to check it.
fuck! little bastard
ted just bit my bum
Bite him back!
I’d have to chase him as he bites and runs …lol
And having a mouthful of fur wouldn’t be great, either…
anyone know of refillable workshop rolls? not the tubs, the rolls to stuff in the tubs. I keep finding antibacterial which isn’t what I want, and holy shit when did google start ignoring the site:.au marker
They underpaid me $1k. We have this thing where you can access upto $1k of your pay early.
I didn’t use it. And I don’t have an account with the details indicated.
Fucks sake.
Sorry for my negativity today
All deductions and details should show up on your pay slip.
Does it show number of hours you’ve been paid for on your payslip?
In any case something on your payslip should show the difference from last payslip.
Don’t let them get away with it!
Yep I’ve emailed HR 3 times now. Let’s see what happens.
Hopefully you hear from them soon.
If there’s a payroll department I think it’s be worth getting in touch with them as well.
but it’s still your pay, you worked for it?
Absolutely. They’ve basically deducted it, despite the fact that I never withdrew it in advance.
The Vroom Vrooming at Albert Park lake has begun
If it takes your fancy.
From Woolies.
I haven’t been eating much tinned fish recently for some reason. I’m sure the tides will turn again though and I’ll be eating them daily. Gotta get through my current stock first though
I haven’t been eating much either, in fact the last batch I bought are still unopened.
I might stock up on some more little tuna tempters on my next grocery shop, nice to make and sandwiches or quick pasta meals.
So you know how in films to portray a character holding back their emotions, the character will clench their fist so hard it bleeds?
I never understood that. I have always bit my nails, often leaving a good amount of skin between the nail end and the top of my fingers.
Well, I’ve grown my nails out and yeah, I get it now. I just yawned and stretched and clenched my fists, and it hurt!
