Welcome to the Melbourne Community Daily Discussion Thread.
snug on the couch with some of my babies
They are adorable Walter.
ta. bonus pic for you.
I pity anything that decides to mess with that cat… lounging like royalty!
he is super chill, his brother mongo (short for mongoliensis) is the real killer.
It’s amazing what you have captured in this photo. So peaceful.!
thanks! my partner took that one because shadow’s head was on my knee and it would have been illegal to move.
Thank you. I love it. ♥
oh wow, what a lovely family 💗🤗
thanks!
They’re gorgeous! And no couch for you
thanks! L shape couch, big puppy’s head was on my leg.
The doggo in the middle looks so comfy and safe
that’s carl. he has a brother named mongo and a sister named donut. they all love cuddling the puppers.
looks like Ted Cat has settled in 🤗 no teasing, he had to have a shave because he was knotty 🥺
spoiler
I want to honk his wonderful tail poof
😍 I’m glad he has a nice home now
Welcome Ted Cat! Feliway friends made new introductions much smoother in my home.
That’s a very cute haircut
Ted has a very very swishy tail
and I don’t think he’s been well socialised at all
he will settle down
I have had to put on my tough jeans 😬🦁
he has found the comfy blanket and is resting now
Bill is still under the bed
Poor boys. New brother.
It’ll be like that stepbrothers movie
Edit: Also in addition to the Feliway the Zylkene is a good choice
That is a very nice feather duster tail.
Feline undercut. Very spiffy.
Oh precious!
I want to use his tail as a powder puff (without powder). But that would be cruel.Ted cat!!! I hope he and Bill will (eventually) be excellent to each other. I did not think there were that many cats like them available for adoption.
Awww congratulations on bringing home Ted cat!
Hi Ted!
I think he looks sweet all shaved. 🐈⬛
Ted Cat is very very hungry . Every single rescue long haired cat I’ve had had been neglected and half starved. 😢
Hopefully that will settle. It’s always a heartbreak realising that they’ve been without.
😭
Always hungry innit?
Needs food to grow all the hair back.
Imagine if he and Bill Cat decided to join forces and trick you into feeding them third breakfasts every day…
Ted is getting seconds for the next months or so.
Poor little man. Did he come from a bad situation?
Just been dropped that I’m doing the flowers for my bros wedding this Sunday.
I’m seriously not impressed.
If anyone here has ever been to a wedding in Indo (their first wedding) and what her side of the family would (I’m guessing) expect… let’s just say from what I saw they expect a lot of flowers.
Fuck me
That’d be a “no” from me
Or, just one single flower.
Honestly tempting.
Plenty on the cum trees
Small posies for the bridal party, buttonholes for the groom party and single orchid flowers at tables. Posies for the mothers of the wedding couple
Send them an invoice - at wedding planner prices. Include an item for designing the wedding dress and making the wedding cake. Also an item for the days off work you’ve will have to take to get everything done. Sounds like they expect you to do everything but say the vows. This is beginning to look like fraternal abuse. Certainly it’s thoughtless and not nearly enough time to organise everything.
Heh I’m trying to avoid all of that. But yeah it is sort of looking not great.
Yeah, no. What the hell? How disorganised do you get especially for an international wedding?
Cum flowers for them all.
.
In addition to the invoice suggested by Thornburywitch:
-
add a priority service fee equal to 150% of your daily pay, or $500 before tax (whichever is larger), for each day off you need to take.
-
add a priority delivery fee of $1.80 for each km you need to travel, including the flights. If no flights required, then charge $3.00 per km.
-
add a 20% (of item cost) item provisioning fee for each item you need to procure.
-
add a stress compensation fee of 50% on top of all that, including Thornburywitch’s line items.
-
finally, put another 45% on top to give directly to the ATO.
As for the wedding itself, they probably also need to provision a few cows, pigs, and chickens to the parents, and some other gifts dedicated for the bride.

I’m off today. Work I’ve had a lot of conflict and ended the day early to go for a walk, but also there’s a few things I just need to rant about sorry…! Also have a picture of my cat showing how I feel today!
I am instantly in love with your cat both for that gorgeous, GORGEOUS fur and that perfect pose!
Hahaha thanks. She’s a gorgeous Maine Coon. Vocal as hell as well which can be… frustrating. :)
gorgeous
Annnnddddd, it’s happened again.
Why have people decided to sit right next to me in a near empty waiting room? And the chairs right next to me? Leave a space damnit!
I do not understand. If this is my superpower, please take it away. 😭🤣
Learn to pass gas at will
People will possibly then learn to distance and mask
I once took the night ferry to Tassie. Booked the basic low cost seat section. The ENTIRE section was empty except for one other person. and guess where they decided to sit? Unreal.
I actually called him out on it.
Start muttering to yourself I am the angel of mercy, the time of cleansing is coming
They’ll move, trust me
Unless they decide to join in with:
Redemption is at hand!
Start looking at pictures of rashes on your phone?
Start scratching your head. Vigorously.
Time to get very sick very loudly all of a sudden.
I don’t have that issue, I’m fat and people tend to not want to sit next to fat people… I wonder why? /S
(No but seriously it is both freeing and also upsetting. Like yes no one wants to sit next to me, but then also “Jesus Christ no one wants to sit next to me!” Especially during bus replacements.
Aww, you guys! ☺️
Hahaha, I needed that!
While I was having a nice relaxing bath the kids decided to join me in the bathroom. The oldest one decorated the littlest one to make him look “pretty” with butterfly clips.
spoiler
That’s a VERY tolerant pupper!
He was too busy trying to lick the mat to notice.
He does look pretty 😍
So since moving to Tassie I haven’t made any real friends, but in a really weird coincidence someone who I knew because she dated a friend I played footy and cricket with (20 years ago) happened to move in to the same area as I did in Tassie not long before I moved here (5 years ago). We spoke off and on but after she found out about the break up, she invited me out to trivia night with some of her work friends. I am really really terrible socially, was super nervous, and almost bailed. But I sucked it up and went last night and actually had a really good time. I was actually social and talked to people instead of feeling like I didn’t belong.
And we came third so even better.
Go you! Sometimes you’ve gotta push yourself a little (I know the feeling!).
That’s fantastic!! This is so good! It gets easier with time, but you slayed it! Very cool! 💜
Ted Cat has never seen anyone have a cup of coffee, he thinks everything is a cat food bowl!! And if he doesn’t get his way he is cranky. I don’t think he’s ever lived with humans or been taught how to behave. 😨 He reminds me of a zoo animal.
I also think he was only neutered very recently 😬
Keen to see more photos of Ted and his funny haircut
spoiler
spoiler
excuse my thumb, it’s hard to get a pic of him
he must be traumatised from getting shaved and knackered the past week , he’s covered in shave rash 😢
Ooh that’s really great thanks, I hope he can get along ok with Bill eventually.
Someone said good morning to me and I just responded
“morgan”
🫠
Es tut mir leid, aber ich spreche nur ein wenig Deutsch.
He’s sitting over there
*ein bißchen
Ich auch
I think nur ein wenig translates to just a little, whereas nur ein bißchen is a little bit…?. but that’s remembering back to grade 11 German, so I’m probably wrong.
I learned and lapsed an obscenely long time ago so I could be also. Plus versions seem to differ
Ze deutsch in you iz coming out
I did watch “Valkyrie” last night. Maybe a subconscious projection. Weird.
Welp, Jimmy and Marceline are checked into the cattery. Sadness.
Pissing off to Hobart tomoz. Keen to try the fooodz.
Tassie’s beautiful. Are you going to Mona - it’s worth a look
of course ! Mona is imperative.!
Drunken Admiral is my favourite food place down there.
Oh that looks good.I have Bar Wa Izekaya, Rockwall, and Urban Greek bookings for dinners so if you know of any amazing breakfast or cafe brunch action that would be awesome!
Pigeon whole bakery. If you are going to Launceston, Brad & Butter bakery is the bees knees.
Oh thanks Dan! We also got a recommendation for Born in Brunswick from some locals.
Started work pretty normally… about an hour in, realised my throat was really dry and felt strange even though I’d been drinking water. Then I got really really tired. Told work I’m unavailable and slept from 10am until 5pm. I had to force myself to get out of bed so I wouldn’t keep sleeping. I’m going to order something in I think because I should eat but don’t have the energy to bother myself.
This being the day after I went back into the office for the first time since before my leave. Yikes.

And so another data breach has happened. This time with Pizza Hut.
🤦♂️

this is why I use hardly any internet services it’s not that companies are bad, it’s that they can’t be trusted to not be idiots
Plus 13 11 66 is so much more catchier.
Hackers went after the Hut? Is nothing sacred anymore!!!
Better get a bloody free pizza out of this!
Pizzapocalypse
Huh, good for me that I’m not involved. Otherwise I’d have 4 nickels. I’m still on 3 baby!
Up since 5am and I am le tired
potatowinner!
Bringing those hot potatoes home 🥔👌
So any emotional extremes today. Tonight is comfort food, blanket, couch and either Netflix or gaming. Tomorrow will be better.
