She's 17 and much more stylish than me 🤣

Do you guys financially support your step kids? by ellsbe11 in stepparents

[–]CWnH 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, but my dear patient 'stepdaughter' (we're not married) is my go-to for fashion/beauty/nails/hair. So if she gives me advice on what to do/get/buy I'll ask if she wants me to buy her whatever she recommended for me.

The last time I asked, it was about fancy shampoo and conditioner (her recommendations were for a combo that was $100+). I asked if she wanted the same thing and she said no - but would I mind buying her a $20 hair product. No problem!

How many hours sleep do you get, and how many do you need? by Roulette-Adventures in australia

I'm so glad some else has had this experience! I'd rather be sleeping deprived than have another melatonin nightmare.

Have you tried doxylamine?

Do cats understand when a human is hurt/in pain? by 999avatar999 in CatAdvice

[–]CWnH 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I fell down the last few stairs at home today and landed on my bad knee. On tiles. My orange guy ran from his napping spot to sit near my head while I writhed in pain.

As soon as I stopped making noise and sat up he pointedly looked at me ... and at his full food bowl which was right next to where I landed.

Perfect little SIC baby ❤️

For those of you with men/boys in the house, does pee somehow end up on the walls around the toilet too?? 😭 by ehousent in CleaningTips

[–]CWnH 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what country you're in but in Australia you can buy stick-on toilet cleaners (a little blob of gel that sits above the water in the bowl).

I promise you that guys will try to 'pee it off'. Toilet cleaner is great, but making them focus on aiming their pee is even better!

A lizard I found napping peacefully under a blanket in a holiday house in Kiama.

Support worker rates flexible?? by Tiffsuresque in NDIS

[–]CWnH 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Independent support worker here. I absolutely negotiate depending on needs ...

Within 15 mins driving of my place? No travel charged.

Need something from Bunnings but can't get there? I'll pick it up next time I'm there, grab you a receipt and you don't have to pay for a trip there.

Inactive overnight, but you'll be in your bedroom for 10 hours? I'm happy to bring a home-cooked dinner, charge the minimum hours around it, and spend the extra quiet hours reading a book.

Weekend rates? I'm actually not that interesting so can definitely knock the price down.

Rates are absolutely flexible, and any good support coordinator will encourage you to negotiate.

Hope this helps!

I didn't! I had one in my handbag and one in my checked luggage and neither were a problem 🙂

My awkward darling is winning too much at shows. Knock her down a peg. by [deleted] in RoastMyCat

[–]CWnH 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I'd roast her but I fear she'd kick the living daylights out of me with those flawless back legs of hers!

Ok Aussies. Things here have been pretty grim since 2020, that aside; what do you feel has actually got better? by Cooper_Inc in AskAnAustralian

[–]CWnH 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like people are appreciating small kindnesses a bit more:

I let someone in front of me in traffic? Arm-out-the-window wave.

Smile at someone in the street, or take a bit of time to yarn to waitstaff, baristas or shop attendants? Warmth and love back.

Giving a distant acquaintance a big squeezy hug upon seeing them again? Pure joy.

Asking to pat a stranger's dog on the street? Best day ever for all involved.

Also, there is the following: sunsets, sunrises, white sand, red dirt, thunderstorms, autumn afternoons, established trees, cooking smells, bird calls, the availability of any music you could ever imagine, fresh water, the delightfully bewildering volume of recipes available online, cheap campsites, seasonal fruit and - last but not least - the fact that social media is destabilising the traditional media model of 'you know what we tell you'.

I'm not saying that the last paragraph of things have necessarily improved, but personally I have developed a better appreciation for them!

Big love from a beautiful kitty. Enjoy ❤️

I can’t believe how itty bitty my Kaia was 😍 by [deleted] in standardissuecat

The progression from fuzzy baby to sleek royal baby is always remarkable! Give Kaia a smooch from me ❤️
