Paris and Brussels would like a word.

He’s not doing this shit because he’s Jewish you elder protocol schmuck. It’s because Israel is a convenient attack dog for the US in the middle east. And probably because Mossad has heinous shit on him.

You did your best and both of you still got your life together taken away. And that’s shit. It’s incredibly shit.

You’re allowed to be upset about that. You’re allowed to be angry. But don’t you ever feel guilty or regret putting up one hell of a fight.

Even if you had done everything perfectly you would still have some manufactured regrets. Our minds cling to “if i’d just” because we’re not allowed to howl at the void any more

Aussie solar over foreign oil!

Same here. Snw s1 was promising, but they’ve just been getting stupider and stupider with the storylines. LD is the only one still holding up so far.

oh they do. They really really do.

the downside is your heart shatters when they pass

mate of mine converted his divvy to a hybrid. Doesn’t drive it as much now though as it’s now got heritage plates

Misha was an incredibly good momma cat, and even years after being fixed would always come investigating if anything playing had a kitten mew in it. So we’re telling ourselves we’re looking after babies for her.

oh we’ve had kittens and ginger boys before (Punkin and Cerys and their siblings were literally born in our last house), so we know what to expect. Bandaids stocked up and all breakables are being moved to floor level. The one and only time Punkin decided to check out the top of the fridge he smashed four out of a box of six imported belgian tulip glasses all over the kitchen so His Lordship has LEARNED THE LESSON

oo where from? I’ve been wanting to sniff that stuff

weirdly, DGAF is also a good sign. Not drinking is so habitual now you don’t even notice no mo. Proud of you, bud.

so, uh, I guess they’re officially coming home with us now. (well, thursday)

We’re renaming them to Samuel (Sammy) Frederick and Maxwell (Max) George because we are not fans of JKR, but it seems disrespectful to summarily dismiss those who saved their lives. Also we found out that they were literally due to be euthanised the same day as Misha before KRS found an emergency foster. His Lordship also never looks at pet rescue because it breaks his heart but for some reason he did the day they were listed - with Max looking uncannily like Misha (including, as we found out on visiting, a damaged tail)

The world works in weird ways.

Cerys knows something’s up as we’re doing up the dining room as a landing zone, but she’s incredibly food motivated (as is Sam) so I don’t forsee any massive problems considering they’d both sell their grandmothers for a freeze dried crocodile bite.

Ahhh we’re on the LPG conversion phase of the petrol crisis. Last time LPG was a lot more readily available though.

I grew up low income, so no car. Still mostly bike or PT, but I habitually get to places at least half an hour early :)

Uh, most countries have a base utility fee that’s charged, and then usage on top of that.

Tried that one?

Most of summer our bills are negative use because we have a fuckoff huge solar array, but we still pay “property charges”

Thats like saying the cirrhosis that kicked in after you stopped drinking means your years of alcoholism weren’t the cause

Japan?

Yeah i have some friends living on NDIS in Brisbane who have never had vehicles or access. Car driving can absolutely be an habitual addiction for some peeps
