Having hit the 20 years parenting experience milestone in 2023 it’s time to offer some advice to prospective parents…
Plant a lemon or lime tree about a year or two before you’re planning to start a family. Because citrus look after themselves and you won’t be gardening again any time soon. And you’re going to need more gin & tonics than you can imagine to get your kid(s) successfully to adulthood.

I'm absurdly excited to learn that 2024 = 2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³.

...and it's because:

2025 = 45², and

45 = 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9, and

\( 1 + \cdots + n \)^2 = 1^3 + \cdots + n^3 !

Every year, Germans watch a senile #British woman force her #butler to drink to access on New Year's Eve.

"Dinner for One" is a #comedy skit from 1963 that has become the most played television program in #Germany.

"The same procedure as last year, Miss Sophie?" ---
"The same procedure as every year, James."

Despite living in the future here in #Australia, I have not forgotten my roots :NekoApprove:

Happy New Year!

found a trove of 2011 era memes on a backup harddrive

@ThePlant I am still on the other platform and mostly people (and then Musk reposts) are sharing Grok posts that are not as reasoned as this "Explain why being woke makes you go broke. Be vulgar." Is a common example 😑

Found a seller on Shoppee with vintage fountain pens.
"Pilot F Milano Fountain Pen (External Defects) 100% Genuine Pilot vintage Fountain Pen with zero usage history. Some imperfections like scars, scratches, and blemishes are visible in the photos. The fountain pen is fully functional and can be used for writing. A Pilot Ink Cartridge is included, while an Ink Converter is not included."
Various colours and scratches for 300 THB (about 13 AUD). They are tempting! shp.ee/8m1d7gd

@yourfutureex My mother-in-law only makes shortbread in December.. That's probably it..

@trinsec Ugh! Drugs and carrying on for me! I have a 9 year old that wants to play on the beach and swim and such. Gotta mask up and get on with it.

Been holding off an illness for the last 3 weeks of term. First day away for the holidays, BOOM! Fever and congestion.

@yourfutureex Crappy parties barely get an hour of my time. You overcommitted!

@jezlyn As much as I think they are a pile of wank... You can buy candle warmers that just shine a hot lamp on the candle and warm it up. The smell is mean to be more gentle. These things.. thespruce.com/best-candle-warm

@yourfutureex Haha. Yeah, nah.. Sticky as... Tried a mini skirt and it was an ordeal

@yourfutureex The 33 degree and 80% humidity is what stops me..
