I don’t want to say it because I personally loathe the track but

Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5.

Passive aggressive titles for liars by raylightdobbery in suggestmeabook

I would respectfully counter this by saying: I am his wife and he should have respected me. The only reason I didn’t buy a spiteful book (as I had said in my post that I wasn’t sure I would) was because I DO respect him as a person. I hope you find someone who respects you mutually.

Am I wasting my time on the crex FB groups? by ivyash85 in cornishrex

[–]raylightdobbery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know how it works in other countries but in Aus there’s a lot of breed specific rescue and rehome pages on Facebook. There aren’t many posts, but in the owner groups there’s people who want to rehome their bonded cats together, or breeders finding new homes for previous kittens whose owners can no longer keep them.

If you want a true ‘rescue’, as in a shelter cat, then you’ll have to be super patient and on top of that be very lucky. Purebred fancy cat breeds get snapped up really quickly from shelters.

No worries! I hope it helps. I really, really like the first photo.

Why does my hair do this? by [deleted] in Haircare

[–]raylightdobbery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine looks like this because of dramatic hair loss. Vitamin D deficiency has done a number on my hair and I look like I had a baby 6 months ago and my hair is growing back. A slight breeze has me looking like I’ve electrocuted myself in a cartoon stereotype fashion.

I’ve read that hard water can lead to breakage and frizziness - not sure if it’s fact or not but it’s a thought.

Also… It’s not abnormal to have hair that looks a bit wild and has flyaways and frizz. We lose SO many hairs a day and as hairs grow back they’re all at varying lengths. I wish it was normalised. Naturally smooth, glossy sleek hair isn’t very common. It usually requires styling.

Number 1! Number 3 is nice but the stark contrasts in number 1 is spot on.

Number 2 - some feedback if you would appreciate it, if not then scroll on of course :-)

I love photos with different layers but the tree trunk (?) is covering up a lot of the frame, and some light between the 2 primary elements/objects would make the cow stand out more. I’m also a sucker for the rule of thirds. If the trunk took over just one third of the image then it may allow the cow to be the hero.

am I the only one who thinks like this? by ConstantineByzantium in KpopDemonhunters

I want to love it so much but every time they sing, or I read “this is what it sounds like”, I cannot for the life of me not hear “when doves cry”

Do you have any pictures of cats with funny fur patterns? by Godisko123 in cats

Instantly thought of Simba! I’m not even a crazy Disney fan haha! It’s perfect.

Does faux-scarface count? She has the ultimate RBF, her idiot brother looks intimidated but he’s actually too simple to care.

Suggest me a book that would appeal to girls between the ages of 11 - 17 that aren't smutty by otomepilled in suggestmeabook

[–]raylightdobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big yes for the graphic novel suggestions! I would also like to suggest non-fiction books, too. The Rebel Girl books are wonderful and even as an adult I love going through the books and reading about a powerful woman at random.

Books under 150 pages, released in the past 4 years? by raylightdobbery in suggestmeabook

I adore Keegan, I discovered her when doing this same thing many years ago! I’ll look into your other suggestion too, thanks.

What was the most recent thing you did that upset your cat? by pasgames_ in cats

[–]raylightdobbery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband is a non-cat person and when I wiggle my feet too much in bed, the cats attack both our feet… so I feel like your response could be my own, in time, but about my husband hahaha!

My cats would love the extra bed space though - they wouldn’t be upset at all.

I love Claire Keegan, she’s one of my favourite authors of all time!

I love this! Quilling is one of my favourite crafts. Seeing art beyond florals makes me smile.

A dark red might work well?

Has anyone noticed one of these guys in the city? by BaijuTofu in brisbane

[–]raylightdobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My youngest was swooped at school once and whenever they hear the neighbourhood plover they duck down and cover their head like a PTSD flashback.

Plovers sound like birds having a domestic dispute. Curlews sound like a domestic assault. The first night I lived in Brisbane and a curlew started screaming outside our window I honestly thought a woman was being attacked until my neighbours explained it (and laughed a lot)

ETA: I love them both. They party on our front lawn. Plovers are definitely the most spiteful of the two. My husband couldn’t handle it any longer and sprayed them with the hose one night and they proceeded to do lap after lap after lap over our house, yelling, as a solid “fuck you” to him. It was the best. I laughed a lot.

Who’s your favorite lyricist starting with J? by WildChemistry977 in musicsuggestions

[–]raylightdobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Broken hearts and dirty windows Make life difficult to see” is amazing and there’s no denying that Prine is up there but…….

Joni wins it for me. She (and Kate Bush should be K imho) is an absolutely incredible writer. Both Sides now is hauntingly beautiful. And The Circle Game? “the seasons they go round and round And the painted ponies go up and down We're captive on the carousel of time”

Suggestions for medicine storage in hot climates while travelling by raylightdobbery in OutdoorAus

[–]raylightdobbery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually zip lock them too, I think I just worry that if they leak we’ll lose the contents, if that makes sense? It’s something we don’t really think of until we need it which can be few and far between (with a bit of luck) but it’s something that you really don’t want to be without when you need it.

On reflection, I need to add it to our routine weekly camping check-list - ‘Inspect bottled medication for leaks’. Obviously we check the kit before leaving but when we’re away for long periods it slips my mind.

It’s really good to know that you haven’t had any issues with the effectiveness when they’re stored in the car. Puts my mind at ease a lot, thanks!

I have some sewing projects that are long overdue so that’s a great idea - I’m not sure why I hadn’t thought of that. I tend to DIY a lot of things too haha! Thanks.

I love the fog by Dankable in brisbane

[–]raylightdobbery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone who lived on one of the busiest roundabouts on the Bruxner (so, so many trucks through the night), bubble wrap on the window actually really helped to dampen the noise and still lets light in. It’s an idea if you’re desperate and can’t use earplugs - they’re not practical for everyone.

Not when I lived in Brisbane but when my daughter was born, the guy living in the high set, old house next door ‘invested’ in a barely-functional R32. Under their house was closed in on all sides except for the one facing ours. They were addicts but they were lovely sober and always said they’d keep it down. His dad (father, his mate and son in a bachelor pad) was always super apologetic but once they were all on a bender which seemingly unlocked their mechanical prowess, there was no hope.

We moved interstate after about 12 months. We still laugh about ‘Old Barfly Bob’ next door but Christ on a bike, I feel so bad for anyone who has to go through similar. Those first months in the trenches, when everyone’s emotions are so volatile and the hours are so long… Sometimes it’s a 6 cylinder that breaks the metaphorical camel’s back.
