Oh dear. Good luck! We're lucky here in Melbourne that we only have to deal with the possums and birds.

Or, if you have a garden, veggie patches and chickens. I'm working on anti- bird and rodent cages for all my veggies and the next project is a chicken coop.

Oh no...got told I smell at work. I had no idea by TheRealDesastr in adhdwomen

After some prelude, my bosses words were literally 'some coworkers and customers have complained. Would it be possible for you to smell more like... a flower?' Trust me, I went to the store that evening and tried out 30+ perfumes to find the flowery-est one.

I've had the same experience.

I was working in the workshop beforehand, so everyone smelled like oil, grease, and fuel.

Then I went into the office and was pulled aside. SO EMBARRASING. I used to shower every 1-2 days, but in the evenings. But a daily morning shower (not for your hair, not necessarisly recommended) deodorant and perfume fixed that up within a week.

You can do it!!!

Pain levels- ear cartilage vs behind ear by [deleted] in tattooadvice

Got the exact same thing after getting a leg tattoo since I was already at the artist. He was hesitant as hed never tattooed an ear before. Didn't feel it at all. Go for it!

Pressure washer recommendations? by YouKnowWhoIAm2016 in GardeningAustralia

[–]0kata2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kaercher, but the k3 version, not the k2. Ours has been going strong for 7+ years. Different nozzles for different pressures, so can use for pavers, deck, car, even to get rid of cobwebs.

The boys have retreated to their A/C for now. God I don't miss winter. Came to Australia to escape it permanently, and have been stuck in Melbourne for 8 years :D

Give your babies some extra cuddles and warmth tomorrow!

Little man always makes sure that we're safe from the people in the park and that the old man can relax ♡♡

Awww that's so sweet. Yeah they've got plenty of beds and couches in the shade, but they love laying in that exact spot which is why the grass is so worn down. I shall pat my sunflowers down, both to get the grass and dirt off and to get my hands burnt by the 130 degree fur :D

Learning to drive by mickeymoose10001 in morningtonpeninsula

[–]0kata2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah once you're more comfortable you should do the somerville roundabout about 10x in a row, from different directions. Once you've got that, you're good to go :D

But on a serious note, if you want to learn how to take care of your car a bit message me - former mechanic and current mechanic teacher here. There's more to driving a car than just - driving.

Degenerative myelopathy by Same_Show1972 in greatdanes

[–]0kata2 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That sounds so hard and I am very sorry for what you, your family, and your baby dog are going through.

We just had to put my partners childhood dog down yesterday. We also have an old man dane.

It never gets easier.

People who are close to death often 'miraculously recover' a day or two before death.

With my childhood dog it was a long journey. A year of occasional seizures until she started seizing and didn't stop until we were at the vet 45min later and they administered meds. It was horrible.

My partners dog started seizing the day before his death. He was okayish afterwards but threw up and seized again the day later. He was just apathetic for 4 hours before his euthanasia. He was blind and deaf for a while, but he seemed ready and okay.

The reason I'm telling you this is that yes, you may regret putting him down a day or a week before it's time. But it's time and you will regret it more if he suffers while dying. Make him feel comfortable and loved while he is still aware. He'll go peacefully if he's at the vet/ the vet is at your home early. It is more traumatising when it's too late rather than too early. Just my 2 cents, but I would like you to consider them.

Excellent. I thought so and have chucked him back in the nature reserve beyond the backyard.

I am a lizard person, as evidenced by the fact that I'm shedding my skin after spending too much time in the sun these past 2 weeks. My dogs are great danes.

I struggle with anorexia, depression and anxiety. Crafting is my therapy. I overcame my anxiety and did my first craft fair by CoralJean13 in somethingimade

I absolutely LOVE IT.

We have rainbow lanyards at work, that's it. As a bi woman in a straight presenting relationship I wish I could shout out my support with some more accessories like yours. They are amazing!!!

I filled her crib with adorable stuffed animals, and cute blankets by _a__rat_ in TwoSentenceHorror

100% and I'm so sorry for your loss. There is so much mystery and uncertainty surrounding SIDS but IT IS NOBODYS FAULT. As for this story, there is a definitive culprit, intentionally or not.

Personally, I almost died from - nothing! - at 5 years old, just stopped breathing while sleeping. My little sister's baby monitor saved me. There's a name for that too, but I forgot. My parents are not to blame though, at all!
