I was just about to say the same thing basically. If it’s wrong to judge others then wouldn’t it be wrong to judge those that are doing the judging? Kinda seems like the same thing to me.

I'm telling you, the solution to all this is to watch Dark Shadows. From the beginning. In glorious black and white.

Now...how about getting the Shiny Thread back on track...hmmmm?

Good idea but I’m not buying anything

 

[Pigs]

What, no rainbow lorikeets?

Ok...you twisted my arm....

We in the south East of Melbourne are getting inundated with corellas

More than usual

Apologies for the blurry phone shots.

These guys are @Zazie 's colourful little mates.

I dearly love corellas! Intelligent, sociable little birds. Rarely if ever seen in my part of Sydney but I run across huge flocks from time to time out in western nsw

They are usually here for summer. But they never left this year

@Doffy knows how much I love the birds over there !

That's interesting. Normally the behaviour of birds forced out of their usual habitats by drought etc. We had that with galahs here a couple of years ago during the terrible 4 year drought in NSW

Edit - or when there are population explosions and the young adults are forced to find new territory

I don't think that they go far. Just 40km or so to the mountains

But in general we get colourful small lorries and Rosella in winter. And cockies starting with galahs through sulphur crested in warmer months

I'm 5km from the beach

Ummm, isn’t that how we both ended up ordering dwarvs???

I did get the 2 old style but ft is giving me fits about my new orders.

Experimenting with lowering heart rate

This is with my usual 50mg at ~50 watts

Have just mixed 40mg, and will test after a bit

Hopefully it makes no difference

I feel like the crap from the other thread is being carried over here and don’t like it. This is supposed to be my safe place. Well, safe except for my wallet. It’s definitely in danger here. Maybe since I know what happened in the other thread I’m picking up on subtleties here. I thought maybe I was imagining it until classwife said something.

Could it be pure coincidence that you never posted here before but do only after the drama over there? Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad to have you here but just don’t want the drama to transfer to this thread.

I understand what you are saying. That was honestly NOT my intent. I'm usually not on this part of the forum. And I DO use the DIY forum for help and I am DIY stupid when it comes to making liquids. Chanel has been bugging me to come here as she said you guys were a lot of fun and I saw a lot of names I know from DIY, so I came. I had NO idea Charlie (whom I didn't know until today, I think) was going to say what he did. But I agreed with him. No malice intended. I've dealt with dementia with my mom and now my brother from Parkinson's, so I find it easy to empathize with ANYONE going through that and it hurts my heart. I'm really sorry you think I was here to cause trouble. IF you read what was written over there, I didn't start that. My very first post was directly to the man whose mother has dementia.
I will step away from this thread if that helps. But you ARE a great group and so is the group over at DIY. I've been enjoying being in the main forum. But not to be stalked by someone by PM. I still didn't let that stop me, though, as most of you are genuinely sweet and funny.

I think there are folks that stand up for what is right and other folks that like to bash others. These folks probably have friends in both threads.

I invited her here long before you came here Hitt. She has been in and out. I feel crap coming over now too

I just want everything to be back to normal.

Leave it to Zazie to have all the right answers. I forgot, is that on Netflix?

Famous last words. Who wasn’t buying anything when they ordered a Boxx?
