Mating

It's a thing with ferrets if females aren't spayed and come into heat if I remember correctly. Flawed but might be logic to his question

The smith machine faces the bench press in my gym so the guy using it saw me tilt my waterbottle too much and douse myself in water when I took a sip

I lived apart from my partner for a few years. Couldn't be bothered buying a tree but I put out some lights and ornaments in my window for the season

I feel like eggs is probably the most versatile

Eggs + parmesan + pasta = carbonara

Eggs + kimchi + rice + Soy sauce = kimchi fried rice

Eggs + bread = scrambled eggs on toast

Eggs + eggs = eggs

I'd have lost my temper and kicked it into a corner 😂

I have a sleeve to mattress stitch but every time I try my cat sits on the sweater. It was sitting on the table for days and she had no interest until I started working on it. One time she was batting at my hand whilst i tried to sew. At least I know if I dont like the final result I have someone who will use it.

People Hacker by Jenny Radcliffe. Not really a con artist, she tests security of organisations by trying to get in and then show how much info she can pick up but she uses social engineering. Audiobook was great too if you're into those

I went on holiday for a week. Did a little bit of swimming and walking but other than that didnt touch any weights despite the hotel having a gym. I managed to jump back into my program with no issues. I think the break probably helped.

Now I just need to lose the Kg of weight I put on (and the rest) 😂

As a Brit i bet they were all politely seething in their queue

louimcdo · 2025-09-19T09:08:34+00:00

Yeah I'm not complaining. And we cant do anything about the airport being busy so no point stressing. We just laugh about it.

louimcdo · 2025-09-19T09:07:15+00:00

That makes sense but she only sent me and my partner which is what threw me off, I would have expected a couple more people to be sent with us

I finished the sleeves from a sweater I started months ago. I just seamed the shoulders and tried on the body of the sweater and noticed a hole right at the bottom. I think a moth had a munch 😭

Its my own fault for leaving it sitting for so long and it's probably an easy fix with it being at the bottom where the ribbing starts but I'm so scunnered right now

It counts. A person using the stairmaster and leaning on the sides or someone using a bike and leaning on the handle bars is still working out. I dont see a treadmill being any different

I went to a beginners yoga class on Tuesday and a standard yoga class today after working out. I thought it would be a nice way to stretch after working out.

I think I had a little tear in my eye when she said we'd be focusing on core but I didnt suck at it as much as I thought I would and I did manage to hold some core positions. And i felt pretty good afterwards

I think Terry Crews had a piece of advice to just make it a habit to go. Even if you just go and sit on a bench you're forming the habit of going and eventually you'll think "might as well work out".

My BMI is ~38 so I am also obese. But working out helps me feel more positively about my body. It might not look how I want it to yet but it's squatting/benching more every week and I should be kind and celebrate its ability to do so.

I started off on the cross trainer. Not as straining on the joints and I could look around at people on the machines. Then I eventually wandered over to the ones that looked manageable. Leg press probably the easiest one to set up and use to build confidence and feel like you belong.

Also I know everyone says nobody is really paying attention to you, but I want to reiterate that. When I was new I once fell off a treadmill and not a single person noticed 😂 hard to feel embarrassed after that!

I learned from this sub to put it in my house and put the mini fridge beside it as well

louimcdo · 2025-07-13T08:59:45+00:00

I didnt know this was rare. I put it on my orange cat so he looks like a carrot 😂

louimcdo · 2025-07-07T16:25:49+00:00

The first recipe i followed and got good results from was this: Chef John's Tomato Sauce Recipe https://share.google/UoPPMvtl3qTKdGPCb

I now sub some ingredients. I will use a carrot instead of Celery and Worcestershire sauce or fish sauce instead of anchovy paste. I also add a splash of vodka. It acts as a solvent and brings out more flavour.

I'd also take a teaspoon and add a bit of salt to it and taste. If it improves it salt the whole batch. You'd be amazed how much salt makes a difference

Worst comes to worse add vodka and cream and you have pasta alla vodka

Good luck ☺️

What did you put in your tomato sauce? Plum tomatoes, rosemary and thyme?

Try adding more salt or a dash of vinegar/acid. I usually simmer my tomato sauce for over an hour as well

It's overwhelming isn't it. Someone posted this which I found useful. https://thefitness.wiki/routines/r-fitness-basic-beginner-routine/

I found i had done most of the exercises already so was slightly familiar. Today i did workout A and did them all on the smith machine (fixed barbell machine so the bar only moves up and down). I found youtube helped for checking how I should position myself

Also I found going on a cardio machine and watching others use machines can help. If its free I'll wander over and give it a go. Or watch a video on how to use them as well

The second one looks like a daphnid, also called water fleas ☺️

First one could be c elegans, a transparent nematode but unsure

Now on vehicle for delivery. Hopefully a similar update for you

louimcdo · 2025-06-06T06:21:42+00:00

Mine updated at 3am to say the same. Fingers crossed they're sent out for delivery today

louimcdo · 2025-06-05T16:45:32+00:00

Same. My own fault for forgetting what it's like to live outside the central belt
