It is not reassuring, when looking for phone cases on eBay, if the photograph of the case on the phone... does not match the phone they claim the case is for. Nope. #onlineshopping

Every time. Every single time I use Super Glue I regret it. What is it actually good for? @crafters

[Autism Teacher Observations] I've been teaching for a long time and I'm pretty good at it, not to brag or anything. Over my career I have watched autism and learning disabilities (which aren't the same thing) become more discussed, in some cases better addressed and in other cases become more […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings 1. Investigating how to do toner foiling (before my supplies arrive). I'm getting excited about it! A new craft, full of possibilities! One which doesn't look like the learning curve is too steep for me. 2. All the people who make craft tutorials on YouTube. 3 […]

Magnetic sheets: great for sticking thin metal dies to for storage. Magnetic photo paper: terrible for sticking thin metal dies to for storage. They just aren't magnetic enough. They are barely magnetic enough to stick to the refridgerator. However, I think they will do excellently for […]

Cat sitters/cattery recommendations please We need help. Miss Tabby is a fearful rescue cat who has just lost her litter mate of over nine years and has been left very traumatised. I'm hoping her behaviour will stabilise in the next month or two but she'll […] [Original post on mastodon.au]

I can has a #laminator! After reading the reviews on the website, where practically every laminator that had a review got trashed (some were praised, but they ALL were trashed by somebody), I decided to go with a more expensive one in the hopes that it breaking as soon as the warranty expired […]

Signs that something is #gossip : 1. It is malicious. 2. It is hearsay; that is, there are no citations, there are no witnesses. 3. If there are quotes, they are taken out of context (or are hearsay)

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things today, all related. 1. That I got to the chemist before it closed. 2. They had Trulicity. 3. Though it had been raining on and off all day, it did not rain while I was out. "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things, early afternoon edition. 1. Having a friend help me put out the heavy items for my hard rubbish collection. WEIGHT OFF MY MIND! 2. Less than five minutes after we'd finished, it started raining, as had been forecast. Less than five minutes! I'd just […]

Quick question On installing debian Disk partition 1. All files in one partition 2. Seperate /home portion 3. Seperate /home, /var and /tmp Thank you Hugz & xXx

Here's a tip, for Aussies: If you purchase something online, and immediately start getting spammed with marketing messages, fight back by POINTING OUT that they are IN VIOLATION of the SPAM Act of 2003, and send them this link: https://www.acma.gov.au/avoid-sending-spam (or you could send them a […]

Dear Online stores (Officeworks and eBay, I am looking at YOU) Please do not ask me to verify that I am human, repeatedly, after I have already done so. Do you think that I would suddenly become not-human when you weren't looking?

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things this day. 1. My cold nose reminds me that we are not yet into Fire Season. 2. Cat pictures, and the cats that belong to them. 3. My comfy bed (to which I will be retreating soon). "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings 1. The group "Skald" and their album "Vikings Chant" which just came up on my randomplay. Seriously, anyone who's a #tolkien fan will think "Rohirrim", and anyone who's a #marvel fan will think "Asgard" (and since I am both, this is great). 2. #chocolate 3. #coffee […]

It's been a very good day on YouTube, because two of my favorite women both dropped great videos. Caitlin Doughty did one about Vladimir Lenin's corpse, and Evie did this fantastic "correction" of the awful knitting video put out by SciShow, about which there has been so much outrage from the […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things on this day. 1. That people keep on making pretty stuff (in this case, I've been looking at pretty cutting dies. Do I want another butterfly die? Don't know.) 2. Flowers. Flowers are amazing. 3. Being able to eat cereal-and-milk... for dinner […]

I've just blocked my ISP from sending me SMS messages, considering that they ALSO send me email at the same time. Maybe there is some setting somewhere on their website where I could turn it off, but, y'know, my time is valuable, so I've just blocked them on my phone. I do NOT fricken need to […]

One of the wise things which Rafi (of Rafi & Klee https://www.youtube.com/@Rafiandklee) has said about cultivating creativity and doing one's art is: remove the hurdles to doing your art by having your tools and workspace available (rather than having to pack and unpack them and clear space […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things today. 1. Celery sticks with cream cheese. Delicious AND healthy. 2. Making more decorated matchboxes with transparent covers and putting beads in them. It does me good to make something both pretty and practical. It is also nice to look at the pretty […]

This used to be the back of a cereal packet. Isn't it pretty? Made with permanent markers (red & blue) and alcohol ink (black, brown, neon pink, coral, & bronze) #wipwednesday

Look, you online stores, and #auspost, I DO NOT need to be informed that the seller is "preparing your parcel". What a bloody waste of MY precious time (and more importantly, my FLOW) to be INTERRUPTED for this completely pointless and trivial bit of information. I don't bloody care! If you MUST […]

When only one party is compromising, that isn't compromise, it's surrender. #uspol (Brought to you by the blatent hypocracy and double standards that #republicans have been employing for decades)

I'm afraid I twitch whenever I see a #marvel #fanfic summary which mentions "the Rouges" (rather than "the Rogues"). Someone needs to make a parody.

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things on this day. 1. Pretzels 2. The sound of rain on the roof 3. The smell of rain on dry ground "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is […]

The irony that AFTER I bought some 250 micron acetate sheets for making transparent matchbox covers - they arrived today - I found the missing box of plastic sheet-bits I had been looking for for the last couple of weeks. Ah well. At least I have plastic sheets? @crafters

Beloved wedding flowers, and yet in Thailand Orchids are boring. (From an observation made by my Thai sister-in-law.) #dailyhaikuprompt - 16th Sept - Orchids #haiku #poetry

Huh. Just got a comment on AO3 which was obviously bogus: it was giving fulsome praise to "your story" -- except that the piece in question was not a story, it was my Hulk scarf! I wonder how they did their automation?

Note for future generations: When packing up the boxes of your late father's distilled water, do NOT put the bottle with a hand-written label saying "Tap Water" in with the bottles of distilled water. Or your sister will be annoyed when she pours tap water into a vessel requiring distilled water.

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things this day. 1. Seasoned pre-cooked microwave rice pouches. Hooray for whoever invented them! 2. Parcel full of craft supplies arrived earlier than I had expected. I had a good time sorting it all out. (And used two lots of plastic packaging to make four […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things today. 1. I signed up for the #marveltrumpshate charity auction as a creator! (https://marveltrumpshate.com) 2. That eBay has the option to sort by nearest distance. 3. Refrigerators. "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honourable […]

@SeaFury I've just been listening to your music! The piece I like best is "Dark Sky" - it makes me think of radio signals being sent out into space.

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things today. 1. That credit cards and Australian money are made of plastic; I discovered that I had accidentally put my wallet in the wash with my jeans (I was very distracted). 2. That the photograph of my late parents in my wallet was only slightly […]

Forgiveness is never deserved. If it were deserved, it would be Justice.

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things this Friday evening. 1. Making pretty cardboard out of (cereal and other food) boxes, with the intent of turning it into matchboxes (to store small things in). Permanent pen + metallic #alcoholink. Seriously, so pleased with the results; so pretty. 2 […]

Well. I just spent the morning and half the afternoon thoroughly going through my bedroom and my studio looking for my box of plastic-cut-from-plastic-packaging and bits-of-cardboard (labelled "stuff for boxes" IIRC). I know where it *used* to be, and I know that I moved it in the craft-storage […]

It is rather concerning, whilst online shopping, if the image does not match the title... #onlineshopping #mistakes #ecommerce

The fact that Joss Wheadon said that "continuity is for cowards" means that, if you let him near your franchise, he is going to obliterate your continuity in order to prove that he isn't a coward. #josswheadon #marvel #ageofultron

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things today. 1. I realised that half the enjoyment of (herbal) tea is the aroma. Resolving to pay more attention to that. 2. Feeling more rested today (sleeping all morning doubtless helped!) 3. I'm enjoying my new setup where my […]

I have finally booked my hard rubbish collection, after putting it off for FAR TOO LONG! Dilemma preventing me from doing so: do I book the hard rubbish collection before I ask my brother to help me carry out the stuff, or do I ask my brother to tell me when he's available before I book the […]

Bite the apple, fall. Mortal, dig your grave. This is the fate of mankind. #dailyhaikuprompt - 10th Sept - Grave, Apple #haiku #poetry

Thought I'd share this with the #finishorfrogalong folks, as a helpful tip for "getting stuff done". The Six Things To-Do List Game Stuff needed: 1. Blank sheet of paper, or whiteboard, or notes-app-with-a-checklist (I use "Fossify Notes" for this) 2. Suitable writing implement. 3. One […]

#3goodthings @3goodthings Three good things this day. 1. Had a good goals meeting with the nurse. She praised me for keeping up with 3-good-things (it is one of my goals). 2. Acquired a physical Myki. Now I'm one step closer to (global domination) switching completely to my new phone. 3. That I […]

The grave swollen with Lost hopes; disappointment's worse Than no hope at all #dailyhaikuprompt - 10th September - Grave #haiku #poetry

Experiment with making jelly from herbal tea: will not do again. Despite making a strong tea, it was not that tasty. Probably due to tastebuds being less active on cold things. Oh, you could taste it, but I'd rather have the taste and aroma of the actual tea. Good to know. I don't have to try […]

It is very depressing that there is not one single government in the world who wants to do the best for their people; they just want to do the best for themselves. Well, maybe the EU, but that isn't exactly a government.

The seeds of self-doubt Have reaped a harvest of tears From my cracking heart #dailyhaikuprompt - 9th Sept - Harvest #haiku #poetry
