said it before and I'm sure I will say it again: Boys highschool sex ed should be bringing in a new dad whos got a kid in daycare and ask them "how many times you been sick this year?". You'd scare the crap out of them.

So the good thing about discovering i needed to raise the ground level of the food garden area is that when i'm digging out the pathway alongside and leading up to it i can just hurl the shovelfulls about three feet. And I don't have to sift and weed overmuch (apart from the most egregious) since it's all going under geo anyway. Much time save, me likey

Please tell us your secret of how you can remain outside without sneezing your head off.

I hate ordering stuff online, I think I get anxiety over waiting for things to get shipped and if it's in stock and then for it to arrive.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 hours ago (2 children)

I love ordering stuff online. I get to spend my time, compare lots of different things easily, and can focus on the most important aspects (like measurements or technical specifications). I tend to put it out of my mind once I've ordered it, and instead of getting anxious waiting it's more like a happy surprise when it turns up!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 hours ago

I kind of feel like that, but also get anxious. I can't visualise anything, and although I know how long a centimetre/metre are, I can visualise how big 1.37 metres is in my space without a tape measure (which only kinda helps), so I hate purchasing size based things online. For general things, I do prefer online though. But expensive things give me buyer's remorse, I guess cause of the lack of instant gratification

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago

I'm more worried about stuff being out of stock by the time it comes to ship and then waiting for it and not knowing where exactly they're going to deliver the item to.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I'm the same because I don't like surprises unless you say you have a surprise and show me immediately.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 hours ago

Exactly, it's like teasing me with something but I must have it now!

MOVIES!! I love movies.

Austin Powers International Man of Mystery commentary. Was not enlightening other than finding out Mindy Sterling is a total comedic genius who made her own character and ad libbed her lines.

Passengers. Still a very beautiful movie in every way.

I've just signed myself up for a couple of days of gardening at my Mum's place. The good part of this is that I get to go wild plant shopping - I need a bunch of hardy sun-loving plants to go in a border and a couple of planter boxes. I'm thinking mostly natives, but will have to see what I can find.

If you venture down southeast: garden world and diacos.

At the place of toil…

I have less than zero desire to be here rn.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 13 hours ago

I feel your lack of desire and add my own to the mix.

Stay strong.

Melbcat doesn’t seem to need a top up, but she’s had some treats and I’m having a cuppa
