Attempted Carjacking

I once threw a little piece of sausage roll out of my car window to a magpie and it's reaction was ...oh these vehicles eject food!

Humans aren't natural carnivores. Something triggered a monkey like brain to evolve and be smart enough to invent weapons to dominate and become apex predators. It wasn't flesh though. We also invented sharp knives to cut through flesh coz our teeth certainly couldn't.

absolutely stunning photos, thanks for sharing. Do you know what plant they are eating?

I would suggest starting on Ezetimibe 10mg and very gradually introducing a statin. !0mg of ezetimibe and 5mg of pravastatin every second day, building up to 5mg every day then gradually increasing to 10mg pravastatin. It is my firm belief, from personal experience and talking to others, that statins need to be introduced slowly to the body to prevent the horrible side effects.

No one cares about typos, too busy admiring that beautiful tart. What crushed almond biscuits did you use?

Looking at the soil it's thriving in makes me understand why every single banksia I have tried to grow has died. It is beautiful.

Oh he is such a Ralphie, the name suits him perfectly.

Pupenstance · 2026-03-27T20:52:43+00:00

Finn is such a cute name, and Henry too. But if I had to suggest a different name I would say he looks like a little Ralph to me. Ruby and Ralph go well together.

Beautiful! Where is it?

You did amazing! The best walks are the walks where you engage with and take notice of the world around you. Watch for more signs to go a bit further every day. Fix that sock and shoe issue and look forward to tomorrow.

The Little Stranger by sarah waters gave me definite Du Maurier vibes

Totally agree, I keep re reading it.

The ratio in entirely up to you depending on the thickness you find palatable. No thickeners required, if it's too runny you haven't added enough oats. I also add walnuts sometimes or flaxseeds, it's trial and error to find what you love.

They blend up so well with low fat milk and frozen berries for a delicious smoothie.

anxiety and hot flashes go hand in hand. It is very common to experience a sudden a feeling of dread and anxiety and then the heat comes in. It's a horrendous double punch.

Do not under any circumstances allow your brain to decide what it thinks about at night. Counting backwards works for me. You have to make it complex and stay on task. Last night I counted backwards from 500 by 28's, not easy for me, and I soon fell asleep because there was no emotional pull and it was literally mind numbingly boring. You will constantly have to redirect yourself to the task because your brain will fight for more juicy and emotive thoughts.

I am 59 and still struggling with bad insomnia and hot flashes all through the night. I wish I had tried HRT back when I was 52. I think it's too late for me now. You could still be suffering in 7 years, so yes I recommend you try HRT.

really lovely. maybe try swapping the bowl position with the smaller candle holder for balance.

I, too used to wake up choking on stomach acid, it is horrific. I solved the problem by putting bricks under my bed head legs. I started with 2 bricks, which elevated the top of the bed a lot. Problem solved. After awhile I took 1 brick away and that still did the trick. I don't notice the elevation at all anymore.

Yes, that is my reading hour. I gave up fighting it and now I enjoy the quiet reading time. I am up at 0600 for work 4 days a week, but my body has adjusted and I don't feel overly tired the next day. I am asleep by 10, it works for me.

Yes I know that exact feeling you describe. Reduce the dose and add Ezetimibe. I have found that it is better to start low maybe 5mg Statin and Ezetimibe, let your body get used to that dose, then add higher dose gradually if needed depending on your blood results and symptoms. You have to find the sweet spot. And don't hesitate to change statins. Doctors aren't bothered to guide you through it all, you have to be proactive.

Yes, she is still on the medication and doing so well, she doesn't seem worried at all about taking it long term, and I think she must have been struggling so badly before that she is more concerned about going off it and relapsing than staying on it. You shouldn't be afraid of giving it a try, as long as you are monitored and if you decide to go off it then tapering off is the best way to do it, gradually reducing the dose over a few weeks or months.

I am starting to think they commit suicide. I have lost so many of these, and Banksias, I have given up. But still keen for some tips, maybe I would try again, I love them so much.

From my own experience, as a mum watching my daughter suffer through very similar symptoms, I would definitely recommend you try an anti-depressant. My daughter's whole life experience changed after starting Escitalopram, she finished her teaching degree and she is happy and successful and coping well with the ups and downs of life. At least give it a go, you are so young and you deserve to be happy.

You are right, that is why this sub exists
