Thanks for checking in on me and standing up for me re the Reddit post, pals.

Rough times over here but everyone’s alive so it can’t be that bad. Miss you! ❤️

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It’s so good to see you around Lemon.

We were worried about you and have been keeping an eye on when you’d come back.

It’s a very friendly space here if you need to talk or just vent into space as well if you feel like you need to.

Anyway Welcome back!

😭😭😭 just got an email from the palaeontologist guy I sponsor on patreon, he was contacted by Make a Wish who asked him if he could take a little kid on a dino dig. The kid just loves dinosaurs. He and the foundation seeded a beach area with bones and megalodon teeth and the little kid had a great time finding them all .

Must've blown that kids mind!..... Fast forward 30 years to this isn't as easy as I remember...🤣

I was just browsing r/melbourne and came across u/lemondrop post. Maybe someone can reach out and tell her it's nicer over here.

Well Dymocks has now confirmed that the basic contact information has been stolen and published on the dark web.

That might explain the barrage of calls I’ve been getting and ignoring since Monday.

Don’t like that my date of birth is out there now with my name.

[–] 38fhh2f8th5819c7@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

Ahhh so that's why.... Fuckin dymocks. Took a month for my order to get here and on top of it all now this.

Something funny to me is that out of the 5 weeks I took off work, traveling throughout the US and spending almost 2 weeks in Vegas.. it's the Friday night before I go back to work that I finally get drunk. At home in Melbourne. By myself.

Wahhh. Long long day out in the 'Rat using every last drop of my EQ to help smooth out a delicate family situation but it turned out good. I'm just wiped out though. Won't be able to drive back up there again until I buy a car some day but I will NOT miss the Western Highway for a second.

Highlight of the day was this VERY friendly boi. He hates kids but just showers everyone else with tender affection. I love him.

e: also I accidentally drank caffeinated tea way too late this afternoon, help

This is my next jigsaw puzzle. It's the Weighing of the Heart in the afterlife , the sins of the heart have to weigh less than a feather ( it's a totally very heavy feather 😉 )

Watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit. I saw it as a kid, but don’t really remember it. The movie was famous for the technological first of mixing animation with live film.

My kid came home from work experience at 4pm. We ate dinner. She told me she tried out the bidets. She liked them. She said she was tired. I haven't seen her since.

tossed in the towel on today as I had the grump. Still somehow managed to dig out another greenhouse footing trench, repair the tanks (minor leaks) and irrigatia system, and do a fuckton of washing.

Also went fucking terminator on an ants nest after the little shits invaded the house. Shoulda stuck to the compost heap, boys.
