April Fool’s Day
I’ll be 41 years old this month.
I’d like to say I’ve lived a bit of a life. I’ve had and lost friends. I’ve found and lost love. I was even married for a little while. I was directionless career-wise coming out of high school but now I’m quite successful and am paid well for it. I’m moderately well-travelled. I’ve been to and seen a lot of places both domestic and abroad and not all of them were so nice… some were even outright sketchy.
But today, on April 1st 2024 - I saw my very first bona fide, honest-to-god, ready for use, manky Glory Hole. A clearly frequented hole in the side of a toilet stall complete with some eager gent waiting on the other side.
From now on my life has been split in two; before I saw a Glory Hole and after. I was so young in the before-times. So naive. So full of hope.
So… Did you use it or nah?
Seemed rude not to.
spoiler
Seriously though I actually did a big Nope-180 out of the stall and found another at the other end.
Please clarify ‘the other end’…
Other end of the row of stalls
Oh thank goodness. I was slightly concerned for your… ahem… other end.
Well that was a twist!
😐
you wrote ready for use
the mental image you evoked was that it was in use by one member of the public already
just waiting on another member
Oh no. I need to know if it’s local to me.
Nah but I’m pretty sure Hannah Watts Park would have one if you’re hunting one down.
This was at Yarraville Shopping Centre.
Yeah. The cars parked there at night ain’t playing on the swings.
Men really are dogs.
Ted Cat just ran up to me and bit me. Not hard but still. 😡He’s angry at me for not giving him unlimited food like my husband did when I was sick with sciatica.
Mmm. Tastes like chicken. 🙀
Does Ted look like a bear?
Yes. He is a fluffy heckin chonker
Cat’s can’t pinch and punch so he’s just working with what he has.
he definitely won that one, since no one had said it at home yet
Angry cats are so adorable. Not that that helps. What a naughty boy!
Hiss eyes were as big as saucers
Kitty bloodlust.
all of a sudden… bam… we’re no longer the apex predator.
Bad cat! Water pistol time
He would not care at all.
One time he attacked Bill and then ate Bill’s food. I smacked Ted, just a soft smack, but he did not stop eating. I had to drag him away while he was hissing at me and then feed Bill in another room.
Woo hoo. The kid’s gone for a few days. Time to partay with a latte. 🎉
Pinch and a punch for the first of the month. No returns.
The body of Jesus has been found. He remains dead. Easter is cancelled. Today is no longer a public holiday. Off to work and school.
Too bad because I ate the eggs already.
One of those eggs would have hatched to become Jesus 2.0. You’ve doomed us all.
At my age? That would be a miracle.
So was Mary’s sister when she got pregnant with John
Hmm… looking at the date today I’d say you’re facon
i am tofu
No you’re natto
Incredible effort by bacon to go as far as renaming themselves!
And here I am going ‘who is Tofu?’ My brain is fried.
You wake up expecting bacon but you end up with tofu 👎
What a let down!
I’m so understimulated but too exhausted to actually do anything… and my focus is shot
Man, even the BOM getting in on April Fools with the storm forecast. Barely anything >:(
Edit: I retract this comment and politely request my lights stop flickering
That was the prelude. Worst is later this evening
@Mittens_meow @Aradina correct, current radar shows more incoming shortly
Well that got a bit intense. The rain got so heavy traffic slowed down to about walking speed and multiple people decided to just pull over and wait instead. I got totally drenched running the 5m from my car to my front door. I’ve changed into dry clothes and Miss Meow is now ensconsed on my lap purring. Mr Woof has forgiven me for the lack of a walk and is also on the couch for moral support.
The rain intensified while we were already enroute thankfully. Wife was enjoying her time listening to the rain and cheering on the cars ahead of us as we all queued up to drive through a puddle at 25kmh lol.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed that the heaviest rain will have mostly cleared by 7am, when I need to walk to the carshare and then drive to work…
If there was anybody still trying to be optimistic and hold out hope that any of this paper crap that [major] companies do “for a sustainable future” is anything but a marketing ploy, on the page for the paper food wrapping stuff, you have to enter your age, and if you’re under a certain age, you’re literally refused access to the website.
Why? Because the entire thing is just a marketing stunt, and there’s rules about marketing things to young children.
As much as they make it sound like it’s their decision and their marketing code, it is genuinely a thing
Listening to music and slowly putting away the craft stuff into bags. I figure I’m still pretty burned out on it and I can’t wash balls of wool or half made things - so getting them off the floor, out of the way, and sealing them up so any fleas die.
Just do what you can mate. We’re all cheering for ya. ♥

APRIL FOOLS
This reminds me of a work colleague, who had his passport issued on 1st April some years ago. Every single time he had to use it, it was questioned … He ended up obtaining a letter from Immigration confirming that the passport was the real deal. You’d think someone would have anticipated this and held up the application for one day, but nooooo.
I don’t really understand why. April 1st is a date just like all the others, and if your passport was fake, you would probably not be putting April fools day on it. I’d only be suspicious of the date if it was a public holiday
So in general I don’t find studying plagues to be too depressing but today I am writing a thesis chapter that deals with some really heavy stuff that’s getting to me and I’m finding it hard to write. So if anyone knows any silly jokes please nows the time to post them!
