Cacoethes 20-07-2023 05:33 PM

The skunk is the only one i think!
Unless you count people's feral children

long road 20-07-2023 06:34 PM

Managed about a 45 minute nap and been watching TV since then. Just about to help make dinner.

Skunk and an enclosed space with food could go badly if the skunk gets spooked!

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 07:16 PM

Do you feel better for it?

There were never any reports of the skunk being smelly!
You can bet that it would be on the local fb page in seconds if it did XD

long road 20-07-2023 07:48 PM

Eh maybe a little bit but not really. Less tired more achy and mentally a little spicy.

Dinner is cooking away now and will be ready soon. Bit if a late one that night as we discovered a massive pile of washing up we had to do so we had space to cook.

I am glad the skunk is very well behaved. I guess it's about training you can get dogs that I would be happy to have in a suoermark t even without being service dogs and dogs that have never been told no or taught commands who I wouldn't. Especially not the meat aisle!

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 07:51 PM

What are you having for dinner?
I hate going to do something and then finding a load of washing up you've forgotten about!

Yeah exactly!
Also, i think you can get scent glands removed from skunks. So maybe he had that done?

long road 20-07-2023 07:54 PM

Sausage and root veg stovie thing. One of my semi regular meals. Love the fact it's one pot cooking. All there is to wash up is cutting board, kitchen knife, spatula, cup for stock, and deep frying pan. Plus the plates and cutlery all meals require!

Perhaps I am not sure if thats a good thing for the skunk. But might be necessary to keep one as a pet.

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 08:15 PM

Ooh yes, that always sounds good!

Yeah i really don't know!

not_so_insig 20-07-2023 08:24 PM

Since the animal welfare act was implemented it's now illegal to remove the scent glands from skunks.

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 08:26 PM

And rightly so.
It may not have been done. I'm fairly sure she was a rescue so who knows!

long road 20-07-2023 08:30 PM

Aww cute little rescue skunk. Maybe she comes to the supermarket because she doesn't like to be alone.

Glad it's illegal now I didn't think it would be good for skunks.

Dinner was good, I think I have the recipe down now, and we had some raspberry lemonade with it. Don't often have fizzy drinks in but get them occassionally as a treat.

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 08:42 PM

Possibly!

It's always nice to have a treat!

long road 20-07-2023 08:48 PM

I love all the little fluffy animals but I dont think I could ever have a pet full time. Didn't grow up with any pets, have allergies and am not great with poop. Also I sometimes have nightmares that I have acquired a pet and then forgotten to look after them :( And I would never want to do that!

Cacoethes 20-07-2023 08:58 PM

That's fair enough!
When i first got the boys, i was really panicking like 'omg, i am actually responsible for another living being(s)'
Was slightly terrifying!
But they're just part of the furniture now!

I often have half asleep dreams where i think I've forgotten to feed them!
Honestly, even if i did forget to do their veg once, it's not a big deal. 85% of their diet is hay, and they always have huge piles of hay. They'd just be grumpy about it XD

long road 20-07-2023 09:11 PM

No one wants grumpy guinea pigs.

I am going offline to rest now just had a non epileptic seizure and don't know if I hit my head. Fell backwards into the corner by /Infront of the bathroom door and felt myself slipping down the wall and came to half sat/ propped up.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 06:03 AM

Hope you're ok jen!

Morning everyone!

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 09:53 AM

Morning Cacoethes, how are you?

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 10:08 AM

Morning!
I'm ok thanks.
Had a productive morning
Asda, aldi, boots and gas safety check i forgot about are done!
Just wax, pick up blood test form, put washing away and gym to go.

How are you?
Anything planned for today?

long road 21-07-2023 10:22 AM

I am okish. Had a few more seizures last night and am exhausted. But my head feels ok this morning so looks like I didn't hit it.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 10:29 AM

Oof that's not good!
At least you didn't hit your head though!

not_so_insig 21-07-2023 10:43 AM

Morning all.

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 10:53 AM

I'm glad you didn't hit your head lr.

Is there anything fun in your busy day Cacoethes?

Hi insig, how are you?

I've ordered some t shirts from Sainsbury's so I don't smell. I decided they were more ethical than m&s and cheaper.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 10:53 AM

Mornin!

The gym is usually fun!
Also possibly meeting up with E after she's finished work for a drink.
Just waiting to see if she's if shes free.
She's offered to come to a scary appointment with me on Wednesday.

How come you smell? Or think you do?

long road 21-07-2023 10:56 AM

I think I may spend most of today in bed. Even sitting up is tiring

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 11:00 AM

I think that's sensible jen!

not_so_insig 21-07-2023 11:12 AM

I am a bit tired because I kept on waking up. Felt as though I was drowning and that I had water in my nostrils.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 11:15 AM

I ordered something on etsy literally like an hour ago and its already been dispatched! :O

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 11:20 AM

I thought I could wear the same top 2 days in a row but when I went to put it on this morning it smelt. I only have 2 comfy t shirts.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 11:26 AM

Ah i see!

long road 21-07-2023 12:04 PM

That sounds unpleasant Dawn

Hope your new t-shirts are comfy Tamo

Speedy Etsy seller! Was it an exciting something Beckie?

I am going to try and nap. Have roleplaying this evening if I feel up to it

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 12:07 PM

It was part of my brother's bday present.
A replica original pokemon gameboy game on a keyring.
He loves all that geeky stuff.
And also got him a bundle of 17 porygon pokemon cards, because he collects the cards and has a specific porygon collection.

Only do it if you really feel up to it!

one_step_closer 21-07-2023 12:38 PM

Hi everyone. Look after yourselves.

I hope you can have a restful day, Jen, and manage role playing later.

Is waxing really sore, Beckie? I hope you have a nice day and don't overdo it. Yay for an excellent Etsy seller!

That's a scary feeling, Dawn. What are you doing today?

I hope you new t-shirts are comfy too, Tamo. I have so many t-shirts and three more on the way! I don't want people to look at me and yet I wear t-shirts that people can't help but look at.

I finally managed to cut some of the branches off one of the bushes in my front garden. They were going over the fence and I didn't want them to poke someone in the eye!

long road 21-07-2023 12:38 PM

That's cool. I love Pok?mon. My partner even played the card game competively when he was younger.

Lovely to put the thought into a present like that and match his interests

not_so_insig 21-07-2023 12:41 PM

I have my mum coming today Lindsay but yes it was scary. My cat is providing comfort as he is being super affectionate today.

one_step_closer 21-07-2023 12:47 PM

I'm glad you have your cat to look after you. I hope you enjoy seeing your Mum.

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 01:11 PM

Waxing is totally fine. It hurts for half a second but that's it!

Well done for doing the branches lindsay!

That's cool jen!
Yeah i like to get thoughtful presents.
We had all the pokemon games, plus the ones on the N64! Very nostalgic for us!

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 01:31 PM

My t shirts will be white. My current ones are harry potter themed :)

one_step_closer 21-07-2023 03:47 PM

I'm not very good at keeping white t-shirts white.

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 03:52 PM

I will mostly wear them under jumpers/oodies so it doesn't matter if they fade a bit. I never do a whites wash.

long road 21-07-2023 04:56 PM

I dont do a whites wash but I do a dark wash and a lights wash. My partner doesn't even bother with that though so not everything stays white!

tamobhuuta 21-07-2023 04:57 PM

I do a blacks wash because once I didn't and my lovely cream jumper dress went grey :(

one_step_closer 21-07-2023 05:10 PM

That's a shame, Tamo. I just put everything in at the same time but at a low temperature. I'm terrible for staining white clothes though. Food never seems to fall on any other colour.

Pi.R^2 21-07-2023 05:16 PM

Greetings! Sorry for pretending to be dead for so long, although I won’t mind if no one noticed or cared :P

Pleased to return to high-quality laundry chat :thumbup:

long road 21-07-2023 05:53 PM

:shockedemoji: Jenna lives

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 05:54 PM

The only light coloured thing i wash separately is my dobok.
Because it was expensive and I'm not buying another one!

Did wonder where you disappeared to jenna.
I just assumed you now hated me :tongue2:

long road 21-07-2023 06:20 PM

A good reason Beckie! Don't want to be mocked for having a light pink or grey dobok!
I think at competitions I have seen one side sometimes wears blue outfits but that might have been judo. My memory is vague!

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 06:41 PM

Absolutely not!
And I'd just feel grubby! Even though it would actually be clean!

I think that is judo!
Doboks are only white afaik.
We can have red or blue sparring kits, but that's just whatever colour we feel like choosing.

long road 21-07-2023 06:53 PM

Ah yes taekwondo at Olympics one competitor wears a blue helmet and one a red one. Cos I fthe hea flicks likely not be good for you

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 07:05 PM

No, i would imagine not!
If you can break 6 boards at once, i would imagine a head isn't much more of a challenge!

long road 21-07-2023 08:20 PM

Oof! That's deadly!

I am feeling a little better after a day in bed, including a nap, a roast dinner, some painkillers and a mediation session. So I am trying roleplaying. Only been playing about half an hour but enjoying it so far. Have warned my friends I may need to finish early though.

My character just jumped 13m in the air! That would be crazy even for a taekwondo black belt!!!

Cacoethes 21-07-2023 08:39 PM

Apparently broken noses are very common in competitions!

I'm glad you're feeling better!
Sounds like you've done all the right things

Oof! That is crazy!
