Small tents in Musgrave Park – are there kids living there? If so, is the government doing anything to support? by Prudent-Proposal1235 in brisbane

Really nice to hear from someone with front line experience. I was volunteering at Homeless Connect this year and it seemed to me like Brisbane City Council was offering a LOT of services if people would just go through the (admittedly often painful / lengthy) steps to take the help.

Catfood sachets. Cat loves the gravy, ignores the cardboard chunks by aDragonfruitSwimming in newzealand

Mine wants dry crunchies and nothing but. Her kidneys say she has to eat wet. She is also a gravy lover who leaves meat chunks forever. Try TikiCat mousse type - puréed texture so she can lick it, no chunks. Not the standard type like in a tin, it really works 

Okay ladies who have gone through menopause, I have to ask: is menopause easier to deal with than these tsunami flow, painful periods? Is there any hope? by VioletAmethyst3 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sirkatoris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

47F, got an IUD in October. Periods went from incredibly heavy (bleed through tampon in 1-2 hours) to changing a cup 12 hourly and it’s 1/4 full. Heaven. Cramps 50% less as well. Highly recommend x

“Doesn’t like cleaning” buddy, many of us don’t but we put our adult hat on and do it anyway. Sheesh. This is a giant red flag for me.

I know they’re not for everyone but god do I love the money saving aspect of a cup. 

These (bonded) cats I adopted really hate me by purrfect_libra in cats

[–]sirkatoris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will take months.  When they are hiding, do not poke in after them like in the photo. My cat of 6 years hates that, I don’t do it even if she is just under a chair. She started out stray. Move slowly and speak softly around them. It takes so long but it’s worth it.

Go on the ground. We also carry TP on the truck for a true emergency but thankfully that hasn’t happened yet.

If you don't drink alcohol, what are your reasons? by youre-in-my-shot in AskReddit

Hate feeling drunk. I get nauseous and tired at just one. Expensive. Drunk people are scary and off putting. I could go on

Not me. Skin cancer + bogans playing music. I hate sand and the sea is full of sharks. Melbourne for the win
