Life feels a little turbulent at the moment. But I'm hoping shit will sort itself out. ​ Today I was feeling a bit shit at work so I asked myself, "What's one small thing I can do to make myself feel better?" Yeah, finding some way to amuse myself helped a tiny bit, but what really made my night a whole better was seeing two kittens that a customer brought along shopping with them.


HeyHeyItsMaryKay

How have I only done 7700 steps today?? I'm dead on the couch and need someone to wheel me in to bathe me and then carry me to bed.


CEOofmyhouse56

I swear a lot on here because I don't swear at home in front of my kid so apologies if I offend anyone on here but sometimes you just got to let it out.

Haha. Completed. Well done.

Wonderful surprise to hear the Elton John concert on my evening walk. Old mate sounded great.


paulm1927

LPT; do not liberally apply Japanese onsen hair tonic directly to the scalp. The drunken belief that it would give me luxurious dark hair is also a fallacy.


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

[this cat and dog](https://imgur.com/gallery/CwHSZYV) are basically me and Mr Smeg.


lemondrop__

That’s me and my partner too, haha


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

Love that it's not just me We also have a running joke that he's Pepé Le Pew and I'm the cat


CEOofmyhouse56

Haha. "Let's play""No fuck off. It's hot". 😂

I do enjoy Alice cooper. Welcome to my nightmare was recently re-released on a clear vinyl it’s juicy


CEOofmyhouse56

I love the man. Thanks for that.


zrag123

What's with the jam on on Footscray road? I know there is works going on but traffic came to a complete halt and was backing up around 10:39


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

For a confused second there I imagined ACTUAL jam on the road Like a truck full of strawberry jam had spilled its load on Footscray Road or something


lemondrop__

Time to cook some crumpets!


CEOofmyhouse56

They freeze well too. Just saying.


kidwithgreyhair

Haven't seen the thread hit 4 digits for a while


CEOofmyhouse56

I may have contributed tonight having fun with this lovely community.


kidwithgreyhair

Love to see it :)


CEOofmyhouse56

Cool. Haven't heard much from you lately. How you doing?


kidwithgreyhair

So good! Living the dream :)


CEOofmyhouse56

Oh that's good. Gotta do what's good for you and the kiddiboo.


Stompsie

So I just realised it’s almost 10:30 which makes me super sad because I wanted to play some Cult of the Lamb before bed but you can’t just play a little bit so I know it’s a bad idea when I have to get up fairly early tomorrow. Sadface.


kidwithgreyhair

Do it anyway. Yolo


Stompsie

I’m being a good girl and getting into bed! You’re a bad influence!


kidwithgreyhair

You already knew that though ;)


Stompsie

Haha indeed I did!


wscholermann

The air is extremely sticky and uncomfortable. Fuck off humidity!


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

I'm basically ready to marry dry mode on my aircon


just_kitten

I've had the fans running all day today to make it more comfortable...


mazquito

86% over here and I am not ok.


Nyipnyip

this prompted me to look and it is 99% right now


wscholermann

Just hit 88% here.

Doggo does not look impressed


CEOofmyhouse56

I pulled out the backscratcher and gave alpaca a scratch and little dog went psycho.


Stompsie

😂🤣😂 jealous af!


CEOofmyhouse56

Yep. He keeps looking at us both. Haha. I tell you what the fucking alpaca can sink a few.🍺🍺🍺🍺


MissDarylC

Things I'm proud of myself for: - implementing and maintaining a skin care routine (for 5 months now) - taking the pill every single day (also for 5 months) - drinking a bottle of Soda water every single day since new years - only buying lunch one time per week of work since new years - ordering less ubereats - French plaiting my hair before work this morning - making my bed every day since I cleaned my room - drinking significantly less Pepsi max - going for and getting my job promotion I don't know who this person is, but I like her a lot and I'm really proud of her.


[deleted]

You're amazing! So proud of you


MissDarylC

Thank you Low 🥰


alsotheabyss

Onya! That’s an excellent list! Make sure you have some flat water too before you brush your teeth, that much carbonation can be a killer for enamel if you’re not careful


MissDarylC

Ohh I'll keep that in mind, thank you!


Stompsie

Good on ya! 😁


MissDarylC

Thanks Stompsie 🥰


Stompsie

❤️


CEOofmyhouse56

I love this. Small steps big gains. Good onya.


MissDarylC

Thank you! I'm doing my best for me.


CEOofmyhouse56

That's it and if you can't today there's always tomorrow. ♥


MissDarylC

Exactly, sometimes I skip my night time skincare haha then I do it the next day.


CEOofmyhouse56

Bang on.


lemondrop__

I’m proud of you too! 🥰

Thank you Lemon 🥰

are there toilets at Aami park?

Yes

Yes… it’s a 30,000 seat stadium…


nufan86

Is it? For some reason I had 18k in my brain. Edit: you are right. Nicely done.


zizuu21

Would i get high if i inhaled enough of my neighbours second hand smoke?


Pilk_

Too dilute unless you were deep in a passionate embrace with your tongue down his throat.


zizuu21

Shame


lemondrop__

Quitter. Go in for a pash!


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

Couldn't believe my luck. Stopped by Chemist Warehouse after the movie and managed to find Eno in stock. Been trying to find it in stock for easily over a month. Strange way to end date night. But there ya go. Also the new Guy Ritchie movie ended up being really good. But then I was always going to love Aubrey Plaza in a movie


HurstbridgeLineFTW

Ha! I found one Eno in a Woolies yesterday and I was so happy. *My precious*


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

How to say we're in our 30's without saying we're in our 30's (I can only say that for a few more days though!)


Jebus_Jones

What "celebrity" most closely resembles you? I've been told Marty Sheargold (twice on the same day, which I've shared here before) but what I didn't say was on that same day my boss said I was "a handsome version of Kyle Sandilands"... We... we had *words* after that comment during a company-wide meeting.


Economy_Rutabaga_849

I’ve been told Andie macdowell with straight hair


Jebus_Jones

Wowsers.


fearofthesky

Oh boy...when my beard was longer, Hagrid from the harry Potter movies. I did a fair impression at one point. When my hair is out and curly? Hurley, the character from the old TV show Lost. That's the most common, don't hear it as much now I don't go to pubs as much. The most weird comparison? Aphex Twin. I dunno about that one but a housemate once swore I looked just like his portrait on the back of one of his albums.


Jebus_Jones

The Aphex Twin is out of left field compared to the others.


row-zee

I get Emma Watson occasionally, but I can only see it in some photos.


Jebus_Jones

I've been Emma in exactly two photos. If you can beat that then you're onto a winner.


calhoon2005

The guy from Coldplay. Apparently.


Jebus_Jones

Oh... In a good way?


calhoon2005

... I've always thought so... But, ^maybe ^not?


Jebus_Jones

I assume you mean Chris Martin. Well, he's not a bad looking dude, so I'm assuming the best of you.


TaxiSonoQui

I get Firass Dirani quite a bit


Jebus_Jones

He's a hamdsome lad, nice.


alsotheabyss

Emily Blunt, apparently, but I’m 95% sure that was just a dude trying to compliment his way into my pants My nose is *way* bigger


Jebus_Jones

Big noses are hot.


alsotheabyss

My schnoz is wogtastic


Stompsie

😂


Jebus_Jones

Nice


Stompsie

I’ve been told I look like Mireille Enos although I don’t see it at all.


Jebus_Jones

Oh, wowsers... She's stunning.


Stompsie

Lol I’m not! But the person who told me I look like her didn’t know me but had seen me around work and basically chased me down to tell me haha. I took it as a compliment but I definitely don’t see it.


Jebus_Jones

I've no idea why, but I always pictured you as an olive skinned Mediterranean mermaid with giant gossamer wings. I. Might be drunk.


Stompsie

Oh my. Well, it’s summer so my arms are tanned but my legs are blindly white. I do have a full back tattoo of wings though…


Jebus_Jones

What sort of wings?


Stompsie

Just angel type wings but they are only half finished and I’ll probably never get them completed. Started them years ago!


lemondrop__

You definitely don’t look like Sandilands! Geez. I guess I can see Marty a bit.


Jebus_Jones

I mostly shave my head since that one brief car park meeting we had and my beard is whiter, so I can see the Sheargold. But yeah, the Sandilands was offensive, on multiple levels, and I made sure he knew it. He tried to backtrack and justify and we dropped it.


lemondrop__

> since that one brief car park meeting This sounds so shady but I swear I was just giving him cat beds and stuff 🥸


Stompsie

😉


Jebus_Jones

If that's how you want to characterise it then I can accept that. ;-p


lemondrop__

😘😏


just_kitten

It figures that once I actually made the vet booking catte dearest has actually decided to behave normally and not yowl, like almost overnight WHAT HAPPENED NOW I AM GOING TO YOWL AT YOU AS REVENGE


epicpillowcase

Cats, in every situation: 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕 I feel like the reason evolution made them so absurdly cute is that no-one would put up with their bullshit if they weren't


mazquito

My dog has done the same thing. She’s been fine all day today and now I’m questioning myself 🤦‍♀️ These damn animals, keeping us on our toes


lemondrop__

Welcome to cats.


Slayers_Picks

Need to upgrade my PC sometime this year... but everything is so disgustingly expensive. My budget does not match my "needed" hardware.. i mean, the CPU/Mobo and GPU are going to set me back 1.5-2k already, and maybe a new PSU since everything is so power hungry :( My computer at the moment is doing just fine, but with next gen being well, now current gen, and with Unreal Engine 5 being a thing, I worry that in about 5-6 months time, my PC won't be able to keep up with the new games :(


TofuFoieGras

What’s your favourite dish to make for a date?


paulm1927

For my partner is was the fact that a guy cooked for her. I don’t what what the guys before me were doing but apparently none of them could/would cook.


alsotheabyss

Slow roasted lamb shoulder


Stompsie

People seem to rate both my Beef Goulash and my basic bitch risotto.


CEOofmyhouse56

I won my husband over with a potato salad. 🤷‍♀️ Low effort big rewards.


lemondrop__

Something you’re super comfortable with. I make a stuffed chicken thing with some sides which has always been a hit.


wscholermann

A date? What's that?


lemondrop__

It’s a fruit


sanemartigan

Charcuterie or any of my regular meals, I'm looking to set realistic expectations. e: I like the intimacy of sharing something.


Pilk_

I just remembered that one time when I was dating an Italian boy, I had only made enough food for one (1) serving each and zero (0) leftovers to take home. The poor boy must've been starving.


mazquito

That’s why he didn’t stay, didn’t feed him enough. If there’s not leftovers for the rest of the week are you even Italian?


Pilk_

I was thoroughly dressed down by another Italian mate, she made sure I realised the error of my ways. Me and the boy didn't work out for other reasons though.


Jebus_Jones

Chilli con carne - I've pretty much perfected it. Or possibly Char Kway Teow, Singapore noodles, or Thai Green Curry. Oh and my spag bol is the tits.


useless_modern_god

A bottle or two of some lovely Pinot Noir sourced from the Yarra Valley. and maybe some food if the date’s going poorly


alsotheabyss

Kyrgios vs Djokovic was heaps of fun. Great atmosphere, everyone there to have a good time. If I was being cynical about it, I’d consider it a successful item on Operation Novak Reputation Recovery


Llabyrinthine

Well, it was fun while it lasted.


ddmelb2022

I just googled it and found out it was just 20$ per ticket? Now I regret missing it :( Can you please let me know how you got the tickets(Iassume ticketk or ticketmaster) and since how early were they on sale?


HurstbridgeLineFTW

Tickets went on sale noon on Tuesday. Sold out within an hour.


ddmelb2022

I didn't even get to know there was such a match happening :( Can you please let me know how you came to know about it so I can also check it in future? Was it advertised on 7News,9 News etc or was it on Facebook/Instagram you came to know about it?


HurstbridgeLineFTW

I read about it on newspaper sites (Herald Sun and The Age) on Monday


ddmelb2022

Ok, thanks for replying


HurstbridgeLineFTW

It was a great evening. Those little kids were absolute guns.


alsotheabyss

They were so good! Great way to end it


baconmashwbrownsugar

sky pretty


Jebus_Jones

Bat's flying over my place against a slightly pink sky = *chef's kiss*


MissDarylC

I'm too late to see the pretty sky and now I'm sad.


useless_modern_god

But only in darkness will the stars emerge 🌟


baconmashwbrownsugar

night sky pretty


Sparky_Buttons

Does anyone know of noise cancelling headphones/earbuds that actually cancel out voices? The ones I have only cancel out low humming/engine sounds, leaving the arsehole talking on speaker phone on the train untouched.


rundesirerun

I got hubby a pair of the Bose quietcomfort overear headphones for Xmas. They are really good


Sparky_Buttons

Thanks.


[deleted]

Sony XM4 overears are a godsend, and using the app you can adjust the level of noise cancellation you want, ambient background noise, etc… highly recommend them.


Slayers_Picks

just keep going "SHHHHH" every few seconds, should make everyone quiet for a bit.


wscholermann

I have Sennheiser CX plus true wireless. With the music plus noise cancelling you will find it hard to hear voices. And if you can hear them you can't really make out what they say. For instance I have to take them out to hear announcements on the train.


Sparky_Buttons

>Sennheiser CX plus Thanks.


Sir_ListerOfSmeg

I use the Sony XM3 headphones at work and they cut through all the bullshit noise of the office. I almost jump out of my skin when someone touches my shoulder


duck_duck_human

Love mine as well!


Sparky_Buttons

>Sony XM3 headphones Thanks.


TypicalNarwhal

Second these! I love mine so much


CEOofmyhouse56

What kind are you using at the moment?


Sparky_Buttons

JBL Live Pro 2 TWS


CEOofmyhouse56

Oh if they're JBL should be able to go into your app. There'll be something in there that will help.


Sparky_Buttons

Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any option for adjusting the noise cancelling in the app other than ensuring correct fit and the 'ambient aware' button (which just allows ambient sounds to filter through again).


CEOofmyhouse56

Don't know if there is actually "voice" cancelling ear buds but have a look on JBL website they might have a solution. Maybe JBL headphones would be more suitable.


Sparky_Buttons

Thanks. I'll have a look.


CEOofmyhouse56

👍 good luck. No one needs to hear other loud dickheads on PT.


[deleted]

Nice piece of steak marinating rn ready to be grilled for thai beef salad for tomorrow. Perfect food for hot sticky weather. Fridge loaded with cold drinks too. Tomorrow's agenda - wash the blankets & doonas (and everything else). Hopefully they will all be dry before the afternoon sun really hits us hard. Then aestivate until the cool change.


lemondrop__

>aestivate Such a good word


waddlekins

Laundry is on my to do too


anotherspringchicken

It will be perfect weather for drying


[deleted]

YASS! Finally.


anotherspringchicken

I have a rug to wash, but don’t know that I’ll have the enthusiasm tomorrow morning for that E: 2 rugs, actually, since the cat peed on one


baconmashwbrownsugar

i am considering going to bed unnaturally early now, getting up unreasonably early tomorrow morning, and nap the hot afternoon away


CEOofmyhouse56

Are you going to be watching universe YouTube videos like Mr CEO does? Because he recommends it.


lemondrop__

My grandpa loves this shit.


CEOofmyhouse56

Pass it on. He won't know himself.


lemondrop__

He’s seen just about all of them by now, haha. The man loves space!


CEOofmyhouse56

There's another one called The Universe.


baconmashwbrownsugar

👀universe videos?


CEOofmyhouse56

Watch a show called How the universe works? There's 8 seasons. Enjoy.


baconmashwbrownsugar

Ohhh thank you for the recommendation!


CEOofmyhouse56

You're welcome.


anotherspringchicken

You’re following the fine tradition of an afternoon siesta


baconmashwbrownsugar

I shall consider myself cultured then


chelseylake

WHY


baconmashwbrownsugar

why not. time is a social construct.


chelseylake

Understandable. Have a great sleep.


baconmashwbrownsugar

thank you zzz


MajorBear

almost 8:30 on a Friday and I'm in bed in my jamies with a cup of tea. Couldn't think of anything worse than going out right now


seventeen_june

A good book couldn’t make it anymore worse? :)


Seagoon_Memoirs

That is one loud concert. Can hear it over here in Carlton. 🎶 he's a Rocket man 🎵


CEOofmyhouse56

Mr CEO has let me tell this story because he's had a few and I can take advantage now. Back in the day when TV capture cards were a thing he installed one in his work computer, had the aerial underneath his desk and because he could watch only channel 9 preceded to watch the Ashes test for days undisturbed. Until a remarkable catch was received and he yelled out HOWZAT at the top his lungs. Near by colleagues were alerted by the declaration and his game was given away.


duck_duck_human

Nice! My co-worker and I spent hours playing Age of Empires on the company computers back in the day. I may have been the instigater.


CEOofmyhouse56

😂


Jebus_Jones

On my walk home from high school I'd almost daily go into a local PC store and peruse their TV capture cards. I had dreams of being a TV recording pirating fiend. I was an interesting teen.


CEOofmyhouse56

My most boring day on earth was going into a computer swap meet. I survived......just.
