Hi Melb, if it’s something you’ll enjoy, and within budget, just do it! I’ve noticed sometimes you mention a thing you’d like to do or activity to try, but the in the next sentence defeat yourself already, finding a reason why it won’t work out. No judgment, it’s just something I’ve noticed because I have the exact same thought spiral myself sometimes. Remind yourself you are allowed nice things. You can do something nice for yourself and don’t feel doom over it. Is the tv not working or not able to connect/stream/function the way you need it? Maybe some of the smart folk here can help! Or maybe it’s time for it to be replaced? There are some basic cheap tvs out there, or try second hand. Unless you specifically want to play games, you can buy a basic dvd player for about $40.

It’ll be in the last place you look.

Say ‘unavailable after 3’ and block out the time in your calendar. Please tell me you are blocking the time in your calendar? A office peeve of mine people rejecting meetings saying they aren’t available but they’ve left the time free in their calendar.

Your bravery is commendable

I wouldn’t have much trust in it. They are playing the politically war as much as the physical one too. It’s hard for any of us that are not there to know what is reliable information. But for me, I think the more neutral bodies like UN, aid agencies, journalists might be able to make observations and if you average them out that’s probably as best as a person can do.

Don’t worry about it. We all have recipe fails. Next attempt will be better. If you’re looking for way to transform tofu to get more protein in diet, I once had some tofu chocolate mousse someone brought to work. It was pretty good. Maybe worth a try?

I don’t know how trustworthy the info is that says there’s enough food. There obviously isn’t, people are starving. I do believe there are probably groups or gangs (hamas included) that may have taken control of some food, intercepting deliveries, and are hoarding it. Because the reality is that in situations of scarcity human behaviour very quickly descends to individualism and violence. This means those who have higher physical strength, weapons, aggression, connections to form a violent group, are going to attempt to acquire and control resources for themselves and their associates. If there was enough food, their hoarding would be pointless, there would be no incentive. The solution to the hoarding and the starvation is easy. More food.

The whole situation is horrific. I understand why they might want to search the ship, eg for weapons, but that shouldn’t affect supply. There’s not enough food getting in and it looks like it’s an intentional genocide attempt by starvation. And the best the rest of the world can do is a couple of limp comments like ‘it’s concerning’ or a slightly braver ‘it’s unacceptable’ or similar words, but zero attempt at action. I was so upset seeing the skeletal kids on tv. Heartbreaking.

Woke after dreaming I was struck by lightning and electrocuted. And look at the clock and it’s only 1am, feels like I’ve been asleep much longer.

I’ve never made cornbread, I think I’ll give it a go.

That teacher needs their degree cancelled. Shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a classroom.

I had no idea there was so much variety in the bay.
