Heh, The Andrew formally known as Prince.

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What about the cunt? Hasn't been exiled and attainded.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yeah, he's been kicked further down the road.

His two daughters have kept their titles though.

Sitting watching the rain through the bedroom window cuddled with the ball of fluff.

Ah the serenity.

Goodnight all ❀️

I feel like I'm getting the raw end of the deal somehow.

Is it 3 ply?

I hope she realises that just a few years ago toilet paper was a luxury prized above rubies

The man went to get his script filled from a different chemist and he happened to have the last box with him (empty because he'd already taken that months worth) because he wanted to point out that he didn't wanted these ones because the pills were too big.

The lady said "wait that box is not on this script but I'll get the pharmacist". The pharmacist then told him that these are the wrong blood pressure tablets and that they are 8Γ— the dosage (he is on the lightest dosage). She took photos and escalated the complaint.

Now the original chemist has contacted him apologising profusely and wants him to come in for a check up. He wants to know what he can get for free because they tried to kill him.

I've said this before the man is a machine.

Has he been feeling dizzy or anything like that lately? That is alarming. Maybe you can get a big box of jellybeans.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No. No dizzy. No fainting. Maybe a bit more tired than usual but that's cos he's actually working more these days.

Fuck yeah it's alarming considering he drives machinery.

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

tiredness can be a symptom

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

True but he averages 18000 steps a day but last 2 weeks he was doing around 25000 a day so it could be that too.

He got his shipment of chilli that he's been high on so even if there were anymore symptoms he wouldn't know it.

[–] SaneMartigan@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Stonefaced, ask for a handy.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They keep asking him if he's had any bad reactions and he says "no". I told him next time they ask, tell them you've been eating more icecream lately and you think your dick's grown a few more inches and see what they say.

[–] melbaboutown@aussie.zone 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

He should start reeling off pregnancy symptoms

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 7 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Yessss!!!!

I told him "tell them your wife plucked a long white hair that look like a cat whisker from your eyebrow today. Could that be a symptom?".

Did Kerry Greenwood get a book in the works before passing?

Shhhhh! Nobody tell my wife. That's Christmas pressie fodder, that is!

[–] Catfish@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago

She did. Was dictating to her Wizard. I believe there will be one more Corrina also.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I took a big bag of stuff to the opshop. πŸ‘ I have sorted it all out now, only 2 bags to take now.

and I came home with a set of 3 small nicely framed prints of seascapes. πŸ‘ I did an image search and they are by Konstantin Volantis, the Turner of Greece and painted Circa 1870s . They are lovely and tell a story. One is of traditional boat maintenance . Another is fishermen in a squall, the last is of the market in a small fishing village, probably the village he grew up in. I'm imagining these pictures hanging up in the home of Greek immigrants ( who I assume came in the 50s or 60s, like my parents came from Europe too ) and for them they would have evoked memories of Greek places and pride in modern artistic heritage. I will love them too. :)

Okay dayum I am sucked into Boulet Brothers Dragula show πŸ˜‚ I'm gonna have to keep this Shudder sub so I can watch this new season airing at the moment.

Gosh the contestants are so dramatic and messy, so talented and fantastic performers, it's my new favourite show. The comebacks and witty remarks they have are just fucking killing me, like all of them have to go to the burn ward. But the show is so inclusive, all queers who are into horror drag are welcome regardless of identity. It's such a great performance and reality show, I love my trash.

[–] tombruzzo@aussie.zone 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You should track down and watch Orgy Of The Dead by Ed Wood. I wish a service like Shudder acquired the rights and just turned it into an annual burlesque variety show. The premise has such great potential.

Vacuumed, moved the desk from back room to dining room and moved partners PC on there instead, and moved dining table the other day. Today I put away the clean clothes, wiped down the counters, moved the tv from back room to dining table, and have set up the PS4. Next is setting up the PS2, because SOMEONE* forgot the PS4 isn't compatible with PS2 games, and SOMEONE* wants to play Ratchet and Clank.

^*the "someone" is meeee^

So I’ve had a slow creep of weight in the last couple of years, and though it’s not super excessive it’s the heaviest I’ve been and not a trend I want to continue. Gonna try and reduce the snacking and cook some lower calorie foods for a while. Also gonna attempt some fitness improvement, but I’m a pretty sedantry person so need to start gentle. If anyone has recommendations for apps or youtubers etc for beginner fitness would love any tips.

Edit: love all these great recommendations, thankyou all!
