He was so happy to come inside and sleep on the bed. I had to give him back but still wonder if he’s doing ok

One cat really didn’t like being confined and would lash out (a neglected runaway I eventually got back to his owner - * the confinement was only gently herding him into to dab on flea and worm treatment, nothing else was forced on him) but with patience he started to spoon with me over the covers on his own. He would allow me to pick him up.

If he’d crashed for longer than a few months I might have built enough trust for the cat tent

Mmm. I love how my brain is deciding to dwell on mortality. It really helps with everything.

/s

Lie on side - raise top arm and possibly knee to create cat tent with doona - she may go under and then you can possibly slowly lower the doona down over the lower half of her body.

It might be more effective with a heat source to tempt her in.

Maybe Melbcat is unusually cuddly for a cat though

Am I gonna have to use leet speak or completely omit mentioning brands now

The irony of me being so active in food subs. But I used to really enjoy cooking and want to pass my favourite tips and recipes on

Ah yeah… I hate to say it but often no matter how clearly you communicate, hanging out with guys one on one (or in general) usually still gets taken as more and then you get blamed for ‘leading them on’ 🙄

Makes it difficult to have cross gender friendships

Yes. Don’t let them normalise this shit

Also maybe lemon meringue pie? I actually found the old recipe I used in my teens. But it might be more efficient just to make a large amount of the lemon filling only, or lemon butter. That’s easier to store in jars and could use more lemons

Edit: I had issues uploading the saved jpgs

This is so scummy and sounds exploitative as fuck. “Doing tenants and landlords a favour”. Not to mention ‘installing guardians’ as if the people are only put there to serve the property… (Which probably is the priority.)

It looks livable I guess… but seems like substandard housing with extra steps. Namely inserting themselves for the purpose of taking two payments on a property they don’t even own. This isn’t brilliant business, it’s preying on a housing crisis to pull slumlord shit.

(Yes, I know this article is old and UK based. I’m looking at various ways of managing housing shortages.)

Make them do an Easter egg hunt

I have to say the electric blanket was a good investment, better than the heated throw. Because you’re able to use an electric blanket under the covers that traps heat and gets much warmer. Very good.

Hot water bottles are also amazing. (Just be careful to replace them every two/three years or at any sign of the rubber perishing. Or they will split/leak and scald you.)

Thanks. This is a nightmare but I don’t want to bring others down.

Still struggling health wise and having to jump through bureaucratic hoops.

I’ve found something easy that speeds combing but might still go for the low maintenance cut when I have the chance. I’ve had the style before, so I know it looks sophisticated and suits me well.

I haven’t been able to do much cooking or gardening lately but might still go and post to the instances in a bit. Pump up the comment numbers. 🙂

I’m hoping that it’s just the tooth and the pain might resolve a bit when that’s gone :( Otherwise the Flo bottle helps a little

Does warmth help? I know it’s very individual.

(I still remember the pain and malaise from when my sinus infection was really bad)

I have noticed there is a point in time when a product is newish but not brand new, so it might be more available on a grey day. And then after that short window the pickings are slimmer.

I guess when something gets too popular others will find out about it and the shelves get cleared.

We’re still talking about moisturiser and eye drops right? 😉

Edit: Oh yes! And sometimes if things are getting very dry you can search for a ‘slime tutorial’ just to smooth out a rough patch.

Sometimes when life is dull I use a product called cough Snaily Lotion to brighten my eyes, especially when I can’t get New Lube (there seem to be worsening supply chain shortages or price hikes of this brand)

You do have to carefully peruse the products as some may have misleading labels or only be sample sizes. Avoid the third party stockists.

But sometimes if you keep checking for stock you might get what you need

Sounds lovely.

I have a favourite jumper with a damaged spot, still trying to find a matching yarn but this video looks good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6U3IEUdddUY

Thanks, I might pick some QV up when my Cerave runs out.

My skin even hates sorbolene for some reason. So champagne tastes on a beer budget lol
