    Where I Am

    Today is more of the usual in Aus. But tomorrow I am hoping for a wooden spoon and no pointy stick. I crack me up too @Matt1055. @fuzzypenguin Maybe if you have the routine in place of having to work already, cos you do, you are going to work. You could try adding one more tiny routine of...

    Wearing Knickers To Bed And Other Hypervigilance Habits

    @FridayJones You really have a rope ladder? In your bedroom? I have been planning on making one, just for that fire that is surely coming. I even daydreamed of making a sling for my 5kg dog, to lower him down first. Then again, if I take up the sarong habit I could tie him to me with one and...

    Wearing Knickers To Bed And Other Hypervigilance Habits

    @itsKismet I am not sure of the definition of a 'quirk'. I dont' think it's a preference. Surely a preference would not be driven by the fear of a soldier crab crawling into my body or me standing in the street naked. It's fear driven and I feel safe and protected wearing them.

    Where I Am

    Like pushing boulders uphill? In Australia, the saying goes "like pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick". How's that for socially unnacceptable @Matt1055. A great mental picture, eh? Australians like to get to the point. Glad you love us. Must be hard to get your point across in US without...

    Wearing Knickers To Bed And Other Hypervigilance Habits

    @Cj77 Exactly my reasoning, I would hate to waste time and die for sure. @FridayJones I never used to wear knickers at all either. Then I ate cake every day for ten years post last traumatic event and I kinda need them to contain my arse (US = ass). I figure if I keep my few extra kilos...

    Wearing Knickers To Bed And Other Hypervigilance Habits

    I cannot go to bed without knickers. I never ever sleep naked. If I wear pyjamas I wear the bottoms, but they annoy me. So I wear knickers, just in case. In case of: Fire = climbing out of the window with no knickers on, I could get something caught An intruder = He comes to rob us, notices I...

    Where I Am

    @Matt1055 I'd lay in the sun and soak it up into my brains and soul if it wasn't for the Melanoma Monster, the Basal Cell Boogie Man and the Over Sixty Skin Faerie who loves to spead brown spots and crepiness. Always somethin'. humph. I'm still cute, that's something.

    Where I Am

    ((( hug ))) having a shit day too. So sorry. Try to leave the house.....even to stand outside under sun or the moon ...it's all I've got to offer. I am going to ignore my own advise and sit and watch Dr Phil. It makes me feel better about myself.

    Our Pets

    This is my baby. He is 13 years old and has leukaemia, but is doing very well. His name is Devil, Debildog, Diablo or Wiggy Woggy Woo, depending on the mood.

    Anyone Watching Bates Motel?

    I love it. I so want to recommend it to the mother and son who live behind me. A parallel dynamic.

    Welcome Lily - Our New Puppy

    I think that's how I will be. I remember Devil was a total idiot until he turned 18months. I also want a one year old but raised by me and more balanced husband. Thanks for sharing. I guess it's part of giving in and accepting when we have to ask our supporter to do stuff we don't want to do at...

    Welcome Lily - Our New Puppy

    Yep. I thought the pink camo would be perfect for her. Great you found a similar one. Devildog wears an XS size and he weighs 5kgs. Just for comparison if you get one later.

    Welcome Lily - Our New Puppy

    @anthony and @Nicolette Were you scared when thinking about getting Lily? I mean about the responsibility and 'what if you're having a shitty day" and can't cope with the needs of a dog. My old boy is 13 this week and has leukaemia. He's doing well on steroids, he's actually turned into a Roid...

    Welcome Lily - Our New Puppy

    Anthony, I moved to a harness as well and find that it is also great for spreading the load if my dog has to be whipped out of the reach of the jaws of a bigger dog. This has only happened twice in 13 years but worth it. When I recently went to buy a new harness, I found one with a breast...

    Log Your Daily Exercise

    @Ms Spock Can you tell me about Alexander technique - Crawling for Adults. I am in Queensland too. Is this something you do in a class? If so, can you provide some info on where I can find it to give it a try.?

    What Was The Best Thing You Seen Today ? Pick One Each Day !

    My husband jump the fence with his new reciprocating saw to help the neighbour slaughter the Bird of Paradise plant the neighbour was trying to cut down. (he is what we commonly refer to as a Chainsaw Gardener). He hates trees, bushes that dare to grow and squirts possums in the face with...
