Poured myself a nice lil drink in my special wine glass (a present from my sister who died a few years ago).. popped it down and sat down to watch our team run out in the NRLW. Second half....and caught it with my hand and smashed it all over the floor.
I know it's just stuff but am currently devestated. Fuck you grief it's been 10 years and now I am in tears because I'll never get another gift from her. Or watch another footy game with her. Or anything.
Or keep the largest shard and paint something meaningful on it, then displaying or framing it?
I'm sorry that happened 💜

imoldgreeeg - 2mon
Too many pieces for kintsugi but thanks for your suggestion. It was a pretty blue glass with a wave pattern and I think I will keep a shard and try to make a little art with it. 💚

melbaboutown - 2mon
Is it possible that Lemmit sleuths could find the same make and colour of wineglass?
It’s totally okay if that won’t work and doesn’t make up for the loss. I understand. The glass was irreplaceable.
It’s just physical gifts tend to be a lot more fragile than the bond with the giver and maybe even if the glass is different now the honouring of your sister is the same?
Think on it. If you decide you would like that I’m happy to try and help track it down.

imoldgreeeg - 2mon
I thought about that but this one was the thought. I have salvaged a couple of pieces and will think about what to do with them. Thank you. You are good people Melba.

oh no, always hard breaking something like that.
I'd have to say the studspud's idea seems like a good one.

CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
That sucks. I'd look it at this way, atleast you used it and enjoyed and that's better than in a cupboard where it didn't get looked at. Still sucks though. Hugs 🫂
5
imoldgreeeg - 2mon
Yeah I know. I am a firm believer in using things you love. Thanks 🫂

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
I understand how you feel I have very little from my mother and when I broke one of her things it hurt.
I hope you feel better ❤️

imoldgreeeg - 2mon
Thanks. I think I was due for a big sob. Calmer now. Thanks for listening
5
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Anytime :)

melbaboutown - 2mon
It’s ok. It’s not just stuff. I get what you’re going through and it’s really painful. We’re here to listen.
The wineglass was the last physical gift you had from her but your love for her is forever.
(Edit: sorry if that’s invalidating, it’s meant to be a comforting thought)

imoldgreeeg - 2mon
Not invalidating at all. Thank you I needed that reminder. Hugs

And microwave rice to soak up the chilli oil.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
You’re speaking my language!

CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Oooo fancy.
5
melbaboutown - 2mon
I saw a no cook meal where a lady mixed a can of tuna into rice, crumbled nori in for the veg and added Kewpie mayo and chilli sauce.
Can’t find the video though
2
CEOofmyhouse56 - 2mon
Lol. I have done that on many occasions. Sometimes I add lettuce too.
Sometimes I add the ingredients into the rice packet just to save washing a bowl.
Spoonful of peanut butter/cup of Ensure checking in

Cheese and avocado toastie, small bit of left over chicken, and couple of baby cucumbers on the side. Followed by punnet of raspberries.

Asked ExMrP what his choice of birthday cake is and he chose the Basque Cheesecake. Of course he did! So the plan for today is to go shop for supplies and ingredients, make the cheesecake, get the kids to wrap the gifts so that's out of the way, take the kids to a park where elder can practice skating and I can do steps, and get shit together for the work/school week, in no particular order.

After planning a lazy nothing day recovering from being sick I got a notification on my phone steam trains were running at our local station. So I got up and got ready so we could ride the train. I'll need to keep an eye on thebusofdoomfsx to see if he makes a video on it

4 calling birds, 3 french hens, two turtle doves and a partridge in a pear tree. Omit the pear tree if you wish as there's one on the street corner that I can re-purpose and it could be difficult to carry along with your own purchases.

my watch has been adjusted for dst 👍

melbaboutown - 2mon
I took a walk before and got further than usual. Thankfully not too many people were around and no hairy situation happened. But wow it was muggy out there. Feeling a little unwell from the warmth and exertion.
It’s raining now so the plants and I are grateful.
I’m thinking perhaps I should just take a break from social minefields tonight and play some Minecraft. It gets a little depressing on singleplayer and I never follow through on plans for builds but perhaps I’ll do some mining with something on in the background. Have a chill Sunday.
My computer is getting full because I’ve stupidly been putting things on C instead of D drive without realising. I can move the bigger things like pictures and games over to free up space, I’m just a bit worried as doing that in the past has created problems.
5
SituationCake - 2mon
Well done on the walk. Small wins are big wins.
5
melbaboutown - 2mon
I wish I could do it more. Hopefully things will change for the better

wtf, wake up, look at clock, oh, it's 5.30, i can get up , have brekkie, give brekkie to cats, o thos efew dishes I missed last night
um, why the fuck is it do dark and why is the mechanical clock reading 4.45
Tbh it feels way more normal for it to be an hour later than it has been...

Fuck it, I need to rewatch it.

My first and only watch was at the start of 2024! Got to rewatch again too :)

Adults losing their minds over dst. Priceless. Exception if you have small children. That can get a little tricky.

Feels like a “First world problem” for sure.

Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Where’s this beautiful sunny day?
5
imoldgreeeg - 2mon
Never trust a forecast warm day in spring. Usually code for shitty north winds. Caught me out again too.
5
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
I had a whole day planned but it’s not super exciting out there.
4
imoldgreeeg - 2mon
I have to move. It's four hours until the NRLW grand final. I shall clean/declutter until 3:45. Whatever I get done will.be fine. Just move dammit.
I think so, there is no pain so my ear drums are good
2
melbaboutown - 2mon
That’s good. There’s something called Eustachian tube dysfunction (?) where you can have pain and a feeling of blockage, and sometimes your ears can pop.
Could also just be congestion from allergies.
1
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon
Spring has sort of begun.
It’s clean eating time again.
Went around with a garbage bag throwing all the half open bags of chips and all the other crap that can’t be donated.
I’m looking forward to it, but I remember how moody I get the first couple of weeks. It’ll be worth it though.
Good night all ❤️
Edit: they're digging up a roundabout across the road from house all night. Laaaaaaaaame.
5
melbaboutown - 2mon
I hate that being laid up for health reasons and feeling uncomfortable with the local area/meetups makes me so unhealthily online. I wish that there were other ways to communicate with online friends than social media, and that I had more freedom to touch grass.
I would like to eventually return to martial arts for fitness or sign up to formal art classes but right now both of those goals aren’t something I can manage yet.
I’d like to take more frequent walks but here it’s rough so it isn’t always that safe.

Um ok. I thought I’d just play some Minecraft on my computer.
::: spoiler spoiler
Well it’s linked to my Microsoft account now which I knew, have to sign in again, okay I have the password… but now it’s forcing me to let it use Bluetooth and demanding I scan a QR code because it wants a passkey that I don’t even think I ever set up. I don’t think I even have a passkey.
(Edit: I understand the importance of 2fa and tokens but I didn’t sign up for it and don’t have one. Also I don’t want to involve my smartphone. Imagine if it broke or I only had a dumbphone? I also really don’t like that it’s tied to my Microsoft account and wish I hadn’t complied.)
I may just quit playing the game if it wants to do all this. Everything is enshittifying to a hostile degree.
In the past I tried to use emulators to play retro games from iso but it was often broken, lacking the ability to move the character or save the game.
Perhaps I’ll have to finally get my shit together on installing Linux and Wine, and then see what games I can find for Linux.
:::
I just want something single player that I can play offline.
Thanks! (Sorry to complain so much. Things are just going really downhill)
Edit: I’m wondering if it might also be a good idea to get another PS2 and buy secondhand games. I regret getting rid of my old one.
1
Taleya - 2mon
Nah, rail against the enshittification!
I have one modern win machine. And it's only there to keep my hand in professionally. Want me to sign up for something? Fuck off. Need me to download an app? Download my arse. I refuse to partake in a broken system. Eat me.
4
melbaboutown - 2mon
I feel like all I ever do lately is scream at things to suck my arse and eat a dick. It has to be getting repetitive.
I have a Windows laptop for gaming but I really regret updating to Windows 11 and it’s steadily getting less usable with all the enshittification. Everything else is following suit, old faithfuls are getting fucked sideways, and at the end of the year I’m going to lose everything including Steam and Github. (I was considering trying to learn some simple code.)
I have a couple of ancient games on CD Rom and thankfully I added a cd drive to my desktop when I built it… but I don’t know if they’ll work with modern computers and that desktop is the one I have earmarked for Linux because Windows 7 is out of support and the hardware can’t take Win 10/11. I really don’t think they’ll work on Linux.
I wish I had learned how to be a proper geek because it would really help in adjusting to this influx of fucked up bullshit.

I really loved the old Nintendo 64
I had a handheld old school Nintendo but that’s gone and my DS is dead
2
Seagoon_ - 2mon
I never had nintendo or sega
what is DS? oh, I have a really ancient green game boy type thing from the 90s and a blue one from the 1980s
they came with only one or two games, no cartridges at all
2
melbaboutown - 2mon
I’m also really sad because Minecraft is a sandbox I can virtually play with simple electrical circuits in.
My solar battery is working but low output and has been stored away because I’m currently too tired and mentally scattered to troubleshoot

Taleya - 2mon
All normals. You've copped several blows to your fundamental existence framework, and it's gonna cause a retreat reaction.
You don't have to be a nerd to play with things, just take the pressure off. It's an experiment. You are beginning to learn how to do things, to explore things, stop expecting it to work perfectly.
And try startpage.com when looking up stuff. It's actually useful

Yeah, a lot of things have really rattled me. I wish I could take the pressure off myself. It’s a problem

Or keep the largest shard and paint something meaningful on it, then displaying or framing it?
