the problem with buying things online is you dont get the instant gratification like you do when buying things at a shop

i want the stuff i ordered over the weekend already

i like it because it splits up the little good chemicals rush and just as the first hit wears off the anticipation for the second one kicks in, like splitting up a bag and posting the second half to yourself

i bought a pink denim and regular blue denim romper and they apologized bc they were coming in two seperate packages but jokes on them thats even better

I internalised the 'possessions won't make you happy' mantra to the point where I have trouble buying anything. It makes me feel bad instead of good. My poo poo is all falling apart.

Yeah I find that online shopping gives me a nice little rush, then I get it again when my stuff arrives. That being said the majority of stuff I buy online is second hand clothes from eBay so I feel a lot less guilty about indulging in consumerism on those occasions.

I buy stuff online, forget and then I am surprised when the postie drops it off. It's like getting gifts from that one weird relative who doesn't know you all that well but it's me, I'm that weird old relative to myself.

I scout stuff out and if it's still there and I'm still interested a week or two later I buy it.

You just reminded me to check whether postal vote applications are open yet. They're not.

Did my good deed for the day; Bee managed to get in through the air conditioning, tempted the little guy with a small glass of sugar water and carried them out. Little guy got a bit wet, but recovered fine on some grass and flew off. :unsmith:

Woohoo first catastrophic fire danger of the year and it's September.

I almost poo poo myself last week when I saw this. Apparently it was nothing but that big plume of smoke is in scrubland <500m from my house.

But as long as everything doesn't burn down in apocalyptic inferno it's shaping up to be a lovely spring. These 5 have been showing up regularly to soak their arses in the birdbaths.

It's a really common problem. I belong to a group which places nest boxes for birds and mammals on properties in an attempt to somewhat mitigate the loss of appropriate nesting habitat. At least once a week someone posts that their nest box has been invaded by bees. Bee keepers aren't so keen to collect them at the moment, either.

Wonder why bee keepers aren't keen to collect them? Especially as bee population is in decline at the moment and is responsible for a shitload of our food and plants being pollinated.

Yes actually.

CBD has anti inflammatory qualities. My afternoon toke makes my back and feet stop hurting.

THC doesn't have anti inflammatory properties but does make it so I don't notice aches and pains for a while.

I was assembling my sim racing rig last night and got hot, sweaty and sore. Bit of weed after helped. Slept like a baby.

About 35c in Syd, about 28c in the mountains, there's a strong north westerly blowing and everything is tinder dry.
