What will the next great invention be? Could someone please invent systems to let cars drive themselves which would ultimately make roads safer & less stressful and machines should make are lives even easier. People need time to write, think & ponder things.

They freak me out. They sometimes leave marks on the wall etc with their powder, which I find very yucky.


Same here! Only I'm ginger too. And white to the point where I glow in the dark sorta, so they dive-bomb and leave powder on ME. UGH.

Also agreed with Gazelle.

My random thought: I've gotten very good at adding 7.

OzComicCon is on this weekend. I went today. I liked it.
This year it is held at the Royal Exhibition Building (a heritage listed building). Me thinks it is the first time that the REB has hosted an event like this :)

I took my Labrador to the vet today to get his nails trimmed. It didn't go the way I wanted it to.

Firstly, the lady there wouldn't do it without sedating my dog, because he has a reputation of trying to bite the person working with him. Second, he didn't get knocked out after he received his first dose, which was 50ml. Third, he still wasn't knocked out after a second dose.

So he was on a maximum dose of sedatives, and we still had to muzzle him and hold him down. It ended up taking three hours just to get something that should have taken ten minutes done. :lmao:


At least they discounted it for me.


Makayla, that is shocking. Can you go to another vet?

I work at a vet clinic, and we have some really bad patients - I mean they are terrified of having their nails clipped. Most of them are so scared they try to bite. What we do is get them to come in for the day. Then we will clip one nail, and put them away for half an hour. Then clip one more nail, then put them away for twenty minutes. Sometimes it takes all day to get them done, but it is a lot less stressful for the dogs and the owners. We almost never have to use sedation.

Also, after a few times coming in like this, most of them get used to it, and we can do them a lot faster - they just get left with us for half an hour while the owner gets coffee.

It is all about finding a clinic that cares more about the dog's experience than getting stuff done quickly.

I think the cat is starting to really like me, I gave him a signal and he hopped on the bed. Apparently he enjoys being scratched more than being stroked, he always comes back for my hand. He meowed later on when I was having breakfast, I think he was hungry because he had his body pointing downstairs to the place he is usually fed and I had eaten recently. He couldn't be fed so early though, and if he could I don't know the proper way, so I could do nothing. I did gave him a bit of milk from my cup to drink though, he liked it, although I wonder if there is something dirty about drinking from that cup again right after, like objectively so. I don't think he left any statistically significant amount of saliva there :shrug:

someone said "you can not love anyone else unless you love yourself", but i know my love for myself is unrequited because i wrapped my arms around myself in a loving hug once, but because i do not have 4 arms, i could not hug myself back.

It's at times like this that I realise just how dependent, ret*d and unable to relate to other people properly I actually am.

I badly need to sort my life out, but I have no clue. I feel as though I am in limbo.

First thing is first, though - check on my sleep disorder problem.

I find it difficult to choose between this and that on the 'this or that' thread. And then even if I could make a choice I can't think of my own 'this or that'. So I've chose not to play.
