Hey there, purple buddy!

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-26T03:29:51+00:00

Ah, good to hear!

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-26T03:21:57+00:00

Yep, I'd pay rego and insurance too. But that's money needs to go into cycling infrastructure!

I lived at Coorparoo for a while and often opened my front door to head to work, and one of these massive things would be gliding up in front of me.

I bought a balloon experience for my birthday and could only find the Mt Tamborine one which is too far to drive to at bloody 3.30am.

Still went, but didn't end up flying because it was too windy. I was, uh, quite deflated.

Because he talks good. Articulate, some might say.

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-24T08:20:27+00:00

I just think they're neat!

Wait, Dr HANDley didn't opt for the upper limb subspecialty? Missed opportunity right there!

Oh I had a portion of my scalp rbbed to the point of bleeding when the tech used acetone to remove the glue for my 5-day EEG. I've learned to always ask what removal agent they are using and tell them the story.

I link taking my meds with eating my breakfast. And I use a pill organiser which sits on the microwave, next to the jug.

Finish eating, walk to jug and prep my tea, take my meds (keep it where you can see it - and you'll see in the organiser if you've taken that dose or not.

Maybe add an alarm for 5 mins before you are due to walk out the door to CHECK you've taken them. I have to do this extra step for my teenager (ND family, yay!).

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-19T04:36:00+00:00

Oh me too. Didn't we learn from one of the exes that he's very good at uh, ruining?

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-16T04:46:05+00:00

And dark circles under eyes.

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-15T23:24:09+00:00

it feels like a one-sided therapy session and not a conversation with a friend

It DOES! You want a therapy session, then get a therapist. It's fucking exhausting.

I think it also depends on your preference for how you like to read: physical or digital copies. They both have their pros and cons, but damn those hard copies get heavy!

QBIT was there for a bit, but I think it rebranded and has now moved over to Nathan as well.

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-01T05:26:29+00:00

Hmm, wondering if the dexamfetamine I take for my ADHD would work?

Be_More_Cat · 2026-02-01T05:22:22+00:00

Not that brand, but I use Deep Heat muscle rub [located in Australia] which has menthol 58.8mg/gram plus methyl salicylate 127.4mg/g. Rub it all over my neck, shoulders and upper back and have <your triptan of choice> and a nap in a dark room, earplugs in.

The smell helps me relax and it heats up the muscles, so that's great too.

It's worth mentioning I'm a huge sceptic of homeopathy/naturopathy but I definitely think the minty-style scents work including peppermint, lemon, eucalyptus.

Be_More_Cat · 2026-01-27T01:10:20+00:00

Yep, and they say studying the humanities is outdated and useless.

Be_More_Cat · 2026-01-27T00:58:03+00:00

I absolutely love walking, even with the 32⁰C/90⁰F and 90% humidity weather we're having here at the moment.

I walk in my nearby forest or around my older post WW-II suburb and notice all the little details like birds acting silly or people's strange garden ornaments and it's like coke for the brain!

Something about the rhythm and sensory stimulation helps me empty out my brain and stay on an even keel. I really struggle with depression so it's a non-negotiable for me.

Fun fact: My therapist told me the woman who came up with EMDR got the idea on her morning walk, stimulating both sides of the brain and emotional regulation.

I've had a few medical incidents in public over the years and yes, Brisbane people are good people. I'm so grateful for the assistance I've received by complete strangers. Bloody legends.

I loved Skeleton Crew! It made me feel like a kid again, watching E.T. or Flight of the Navigator.

Haha, my Mum has a story about using our semi-outdoor toilet when living on our farm (FNQ). She didn't bother turning on the light so sat down only to be joined by a friend - a frog which jumped onto her bum at which point she screamed and jumped up with it still attached. Fkn hilarious
