Oh precious!
I want to use his tail as a powder puff (without powder). But that would be cruel.

Ted cat!!! I hope he and Bill will (eventually) be excellent to each other. I did not think there were that many cats like them available for adoption.

Ted has a very very swishy tail

and I don’t think he’s been well socialised at all

he will settle down

I have had to put on my tough jeans 😬🦁

he has found the comfy blanket and is resting now

Bill is still under the bed

Poor boys. New brother.

Edit: Also in addition to the Feliway the Zylkene is a good choice

Ted Cat is very very hungry . Every single rescue long haired cat I’ve had had been neglected and half starved. 😢

Just been dropped that I’m doing the flowers for my bros wedding this Sunday.

I’m seriously not impressed.

If anyone here has ever been to a wedding in Indo (their first wedding) and what her side of the family would (I’m guessing) expect… let’s just say from what I saw they expect a lot of flowers.

Fuck me

Send them an invoice - at wedding planner prices. Include an item for designing the wedding dress and making the wedding cake. Also an item for the days off work you’ve will have to take to get everything done. Sounds like they expect you to do everything but say the vows. This is beginning to look like fraternal abuse. Certainly it’s thoughtless and not nearly enough time to organise everything.

Small posies for the bridal party, buttonholes for the groom party and single orchid flowers at tables. Posies for the mothers of the wedding couple

Yeah, no. What the hell? How disorganised do you get especially for an international wedding?

Cum flowers for them all.

In addition to the invoice suggested by Thornburywitch:

  • add a priority service fee equal to 150% of your daily pay, or $500 before tax (whichever is larger), for each day off you need to take.

  • add a priority delivery fee of $1.80 for each km you need to travel, including the flights. If no flights required, then charge $3.00 per km.

  • add a 20% (of item cost) item provisioning fee for each item you need to procure.

  • add a stress compensation fee of 50% on top of all that, including Thornburywitch’s line items.

  • finally, put another 45% on top to give directly to the ATO.

As for the wedding itself, they probably also need to provision a few cows, pigs, and chickens to the parents, and some other gifts dedicated for the bride.

Annnnddddd, it’s happened again.

Why have people decided to sit right next to me in a near empty waiting room? And the chairs right next to me? Leave a space damnit!

I do not understand. If this is my superpower, please take it away. 😭🤣

I once took the night ferry to Tassie. Booked the basic low cost seat section. The ENTIRE section was empty except for one other person. and guess where they decided to sit? Unreal.

I actually called him out on it.

I don’t have that issue, I’m fat and people tend to not want to sit next to fat people… I wonder why? /S

(No but seriously it is both freeing and also upsetting. Like yes no one wants to sit next to me, but then also “Jesus Christ no one wants to sit next to me!” Especially during bus replacements.
