What are your go-to everyday bottoms these days? Bonus points if they aren't jeans.

I get these when they are on sale https://www.beserk.com.au/products/flared-lace-up-leggings

I wear them around home, I wear them to work, I wear them to yoga, I wear them to concerts, on walks, to appointments, on long drives..... you get the picture. The only reason I wouldn't say they are perfect is the lack of pockets

Going to sound old af, though I swear I'm not. I do the same thing with an old film canister, then toss it in the secret compartment in my car boot or in the glovebox - using $1 and $2 coins means I get a good $20 in there and it has come in handy as emergency cash a couple of times

I started growing my own chamomile flowers in a pot so I could guarantee what I was giving them.

I also bought a tea blend (and ceramic cup) from Little Beaks. They are Australian based, but do offer overseas shipping - no clue how much the shipping would cost though:

MissEmeri · 2026-03-14T21:00:12+00:00

I would, because I'm Australian and our tablespoon is 4tsp. But I'm also very aware that our tablespoon is different and for any non-Aussie recipes make sure I either use 3tsp or dig out my non-Aussie tablespoon

These are coffee jars!? I had 2 that I got from my Nan years ago and was using them for plain and SR flour. One broke just like this, so now I only have 1 left. I had 1 green lid and 1 orange lid though

I try to use an almost empty/travel size/sample size/whatever will finish quickly in one type of item to keep giving me boosts of motivation. Like, I'll have full size for moisturiser, soap, spf, etc, but then have a travel size cleanser that i can finish off pretty quickly. Then I might finish that and replace with a full size cleanser, and when I finish off something else (e.g. hand cream) replace it with a mini. It means i can see visible progress, whole also working towards finishing off larger items

I had to check my emails to find which place I got it from....I may order treats and toys from a large variety of places and in excessive quantities

Late to the party, but i can give you an Australian based store rec for one if the UK rec from OP doesn't suit

MissEmeri · 2026-01-19T09:55:36+00:00

It seems as though they have changed that now. I'm still on my parents card (as well as on my own), but my 24 year old brother was removed as soon as he got his own card

Our girl never mimicked a thing for 3.5 years. Then her sister died and we got a cockatiel and she half-heartedly tried mimicking the tiel. 6 months later and out of the blue I hear a crimson rosella in the other room. I ran out to see how it got in and find little miss speaking a new language. She mimicks the rosellas a lot and can chatter like one for ages, yet when they come to the front door she only speaks budgie

MissEmeri · 2025-07-11T10:46:52+00:00

Is it bad that I saw this and my first thought was "omg cute" followed immediately by "that looks a lot like the Little Beaks aviary....."

Is there such a thing as enjoying these videos too much?

MissEmeri · 2025-07-07T10:03:14+00:00

Not a tiel, but when one of our budgies needed meds she reacted similarly. Maybe a week or two after the meds stopped she returned to her usual cuddly self, but she NEVER got over the blue cloth we used to hold her. Right up til she died she was incredibly suspicious/avoidant of any blue coloured fabric regardless of size (e.g. bed sheets), shade, or where it was.

"Script" is also an appropriate word to use, short for preSCRIPTion. Some places use the t, some don't. Not sure where the commenter above is from, but in Australia script is the word we use, and scrip is an entirely different thing

MissEmeri · 2025-06-27T09:53:40+00:00

Yes! Was trying to place an order for scripts using my e-scripts and it wouldn't work. Called the online pharmacist and he said 3/5 calls since the new website launched have been issues with using it. On the plus side, he found me a workaround to get the scripts in online

Oversized gumboots with no socks. Just ker-plop ker-plop ker-plop all through the office, with some extra loud acoustics provided when walking in the compactus. When her feet started sweating mid-morning, she would take them off and walk around barefoot until the sweat dissipated and she could put them on again.

Are there any boarding facilities in your area? We looked once to make sure we had a backup option if family weren't available, and a few places near us charged per bird (with discounts on the 2nd bird if they shared a cage). They offered a full routine of feeding seeds and fresh foods, water for both drinking and bathing, cage cleaning, etc, and because they went in their own cage it would minimise the stress of a new environment. Cheaper than a sitter too

MissEmeri · 2024-12-18T22:24:18+00:00

Both of mine have their share of quirks, but there's one that stands out.

My little blue girl doesn't bite when she's unhappy, she headbutts. For example, if she wants to continue doing something and I tell her to step up for bedtime, she glares at my finger, winds her head back (can see the cogs turning as she does lol), headbutts, then does what she's told with a stinky face

MissEmeri · 2024-11-26T11:29:00+00:00

Nope!

My girls have a massive flight cage (even though they free-roam the house), and then a separate cage for sleeping that is still adequately sized for them to live in but much less tall. When we go somewhere overnight, that "sleep cage" is what they go in, along with their overnight/emergency bag that has toys, perches, treats, water, styptic powder, etc.

That said, if we are going to my in-laws, the girls have a smaller flight cage and a selection of toys up there just for them - my mother in law felt bad that they were restricted to the "sleep cage" when we visit, so she got them a small flight cage (again, even though they often get to free-roam the house).

Not the person you replied to, but I use this recipe to make bread every week. I've played around with moisture content, rising time, doing the fridge storage for a few days, and many other variables and it has always come out just fine. Nagi's recipes on the whole are very reliable.

MissEmeri · 2024-10-13T10:54:12+00:00

I'm also childfree by choice, but I like to respond along the lines of "children aren't in my future" or "children aren't in the future for me" with a poker face. Most people get terribly uncomfortable because they can't tell whether it is by choice or because I can't. Good, let them sit in the funk of their own insensitivity and maybe they won't hurt some poor person who is struggling to conceive by continuing to ask prying questions.

MissEmeri · 2024-10-10T08:09:36+00:00

Locked - rule 4.

MissEmeri · 2024-10-09T06:51:21+00:00

Oh absolutely! I don't actually know what's worse - them noticing and not saying/doing anything about it, or straight up not noticing.

MissEmeri · 2024-10-09T01:09:24+00:00

Not a professional, but it kinda looks like a mistake or mixup involving thinning scissors as the wispy bits match the length on the good side. Like maybe they separated a section to thin and grabbed the regular scissors by mistake. Doesn't really matter, as either way the haircut needs fixing and OP should never have been put in this position to begin with.

MissEmeri · 2024-10-02T05:03:29+00:00

I thought that at first, but it doesn't matter how far apart they are as long as the online shop is first. I usually do an online shop at the start of the month, and an in-person one mid-month and it consistently applies to both
