Blurggg.

Had a chat w/ bro last night. Dude is flat out gunning for ol' girls' coin.

Bit of history, back in the day daughters were often left out of wills and the boys got everything. O'l girl was left out and her brothers got everything. Her mum though (my grandmother) left her (and ony her) everything of hers including the proceeds from the sale of her house because the same shit probably happened to her (back in the day before property shit so hardly enough these days for a deposit lol). But it's hers.

Anyway ol' boy transferred that coin (with her permission) into something joint that actually gets interest which is fine. Now bro is demanding a slice of it. Now the ol' boy would have to agree (which he won't).

I can't believe this cunt.

Been thinking about this all morning. At a loss on what to do. Something tells me to stay out. But at the same time ol' girl might feel like she has no agency.. it's her coin after all.

Just feels like sharks circling the pool.

Iโ€™m sorry youโ€™re going through this. I went through something very similar.

Best you can do is speak to the old man and give him a heads up so heโ€™s not caught off guard maybe.

11
Bottom_racer - 2mon

Yeah I think you're right. It won't be pretty though.. hrmm..

3
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

I understand man. It can be pretty intense.

Whatever you decide, I hope it works for the best and you and your family can have some peace โค๏ธ

TheWitchofThornbury2 - 2mon

Shark rich environment happening here, with a lot of quicksand too. However, if ol' girl still has sufficient marbles, there's still time to get everything sorted out properly so no last minute changes can fuck over what she wants. There are lawyers who can set everything up so her wishes are respected. Wills, powers of attorney (medical and otherwise). May need consent from ol' boy, but I don't that's going to be the major issue here. Unless ol' boy drops dead or gets run over by a bus. Yes there's a cost but it's a one time only with a bit of luck. DM me if you want a contact.

10
Bottom_racer - 2mon

All of that (wills etc.) all sorted. I hope. If things go south I'll def give you a DM. Thank you kindly for the offer (sincerely).

4
TheWitchofThornbury2 - 2mon

No probs. Hope all goes as well as possible for ol' girl & boy. Bro can get fucked imo.

This might be opinionated butโ€ฆ I donโ€™t know if he deserves it. At all.

I donโ€™t hear about him coming over cooking, making meal plans, liasing with doctors and dietitians, nudging her to eatโ€ฆ or even really being there.

9
Bottom_racer - 2mon

Yep.. I feel so defeated being honest.

3
Seagoon_ - 2mon

being honest doesn't mean you have to be a push over and let dishonesty win

You know what bro is like and what he is doing or attempting to do

so preempt him , build up your own team too

3
Bottom_racer - 2mon

preempt him

Yea.. you're not wrong there. I'm not lookng forward to the next few days.

1
melbaboutown - 2mon

Yeahโ€ฆ at least you know youโ€™re not behaving like him.

Him thinking of her money at this point in time is really cold. He should be thinking about her.

1
anotherspringchicken - 2mon

Thatโ€™s horrible and insanely entitled. Your poor mum, having to put up with dealing with that with everything else sheโ€™s going through. Maybe she could use โ€˜might need it for aged careโ€™ as a line to put him off (even if she doesnโ€™t need it for that). And aged care deposits do cost a bomb.

4
Seagoon_ - 2mon

as long as you have people you trust it will be fine

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

Think of the loudest yet funniest snoring sound a cat can make.

And that's why I've been awake since 4am lol

12
anotherspringchicken - 2mon

Itโ€™s surprising how loudly they can snore

4
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

Yeah I had no idea until fairly recently.

I got woken up in the middle of the night thinking someone was trying to open my bedroom window. And it was cat snores lol

SaneMartigan - 2mon

Got the $50 tucker fucker from BigW. Heated up last night's apricot-tofu and it worked a treat. It's way smaller than my giant dead Smeg so that's a bonus too.

I think a bogan slapper at the shopping centre took minor issue with the gay flag sewn on my jacket. Honey you never had a chance. Last week (while wearing the jacket) I bumped into a particularity attractive girl on the tram on the way to the show and when I apologised, she grabbed my forearm and patted it saying everything was okay. As much as I'm glad to represent a safe space for my homies the flag represents I feel I'm stealing a bit of homo-valor in that all these people are being a bit nicer to me for supporting the rainbow flag people. And the people it repels, I want to repel, so it's a bonus on the far side too.

12
melbaboutown - 2mon

Steal all the valor you want, the support is appreciated

Seagoon_ - 2mon

so many hugs

( I have given up trying to understand haters , not the cult leader haters, them I understand, the everyday folk who hate on other everyday people for some reason them I don't understand )

Today is International Artist Day. ๐ŸŽจ

Thanks!!nice to get them out of the packing box

2
melbaboutown - 2mon

Problem is Iโ€™m not an artist, just a fraud.

โ€ฆI could do a forgery? Or tape a banana to the wall?

4
Seagoon_ - 2mon

every one is

just fake it til you make it

don't give up, keep working at it

damn, if I were closer I would suggest we have "do art together" afternoons , it's nice to do art with others :)

3
melbaboutown - 2mon

That would be cool.

Unfortunately Iโ€™m seriously struggling at the moment with panic attacks and finding that even art itself is giving me anxiety :(

Did you think Iโ€™d give up that easy, pirated audio application?

Fuck you I win hahaha

7
Bottom_racer - 2mon

Fuck we're gonna have guess which one..

You'll have to give a hint.

4
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

Itโ€™s a drum plugin and sample manager with a sequencer built in.

Name of company and name of app start with the same letter (more helpful than it seems).

Company also has an acoustic drum plugin and keys plugin that both have a similar name. Hint for name is: โ€œalways wantingโ€.

Take a guess lol

3
tombruzzo - 2mon

I'm going to ignore everything you've said and guess Kontact by Native Instruments because that shit is so expensive and not really all that impressive

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

It's not but I have 75ish kontakt libraries all torrented. Hit me up if you want any lol

2
tombruzzo - 2mon

I know how massive those must be and I'm quite torrent happy myself so I'll download them when I have some decent storage and actual use for them

1
Bottom_racer - 2mon

75ish kontakt libraries

lol, impresasive. I suggest one of us getsa big HDD and just hand it around.

Gonna flex though (and no cheating).

Edit most of it doesn't help lol.

1
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

I've got a 10tb server hdd that I'm happy to pass around lol

2
Bottom_racer - 2mon

Kontakt though...

1
Bottom_racer - 2mon

I'm a simple person does it start w/ an A? lol

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

The drum and keys plugin starts with an A.

The one that I finally got installed starts with an X

2
Bottom_racer - 2mon

xln addictive drums?

1
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

XLN XO!

You absolutely get a prize though!

2
LowExperience2368 - 2mon

OT but do you use Guitar Rig at all?

1
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

That was my first ever plugin!!!!

I was so fucking excited that I could affect my guitar in real time lol

It still holds up tbh. I have it installed and use it for certain things.

Have you got a copy?

2
LowExperience2368 - 2mon

Oooh ok!!

I have it installed, but I don't have an audio interface yet. Waiting for a secondhand cheap one to become available! Even just a single channel one that's compatible with my laptop. Then again, my laptop crashes after opening chrome and the Microsoft suite all at once.

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

Next time that happens shoot me a message if you like. I might be able to tell you how to fix that.

2
LowExperience2368 - 2mon

Thanks mate. I think my laptop is just crap. It only has 8gb RAM.

2
Gibsonhasafluffybutt - 2mon

Yeah that'd do it. Chrome is a killer. Maybe Edge is a better option. I think it's less resource hungry

2
Bottom_racer - 2mon

Not gibson but i like it. There are so many amp sims out there it's hard to keep up.

::: spoiler spoiler I hate where I live so much. Itโ€™s destroying my mental health and keeping me constantly hypervigilant but there are no other affordable options. Iโ€™ve applied for a transfer but have been waiting for a very long time and could be waiting much longer.

Fuck the social issues and housing crisis of Melbourneโ€ฆ Just wish I could grab Melbcat and get us both to safety. :::

7
Seagoon_ - 2mon

Is there something you can do in the meantime that would make you feel safer?

Start a neighborhood watch perhaps?

3
melbaboutown - 2mon

Unfortunately not. Some of the neighbours are the issue and Iโ€™m really not comfortable opening up to people now.

Back when I did a few of us used to club together and support one another but even that didnโ€™t help much. For me my area is a write off

4
Seagoon_ - 2mon

So everything you have tried hasn't worked?

Try something else.

4
melbaboutown - 2mon

Literally everything has been tried. Now itโ€™s just hurry up and wait.

Iโ€™m using the time to declutter and downsize for when I can finally blow this popsicle stand

Unraveled the unfinished string bag because it felt like the yarn would do more good as a crocheted blanket. Fighting with dang twisting stitches. Why are hobbies not fun ๐Ÿ˜‘

Heard a little sneeze outside and itโ€™s the black cat in my yard hooking into Melbcatโ€™s potted cat grass! (I rotate multiple pots between indoor and outdoor to allow sun and rain while regrowing from being eaten.)

Thankfully she hasnโ€™t seen him to get distressed about him being in her territory. Sheโ€™s tucked under the blanket. But Iโ€™m a little bit worried about traces of his saliva on her grass.

She gets vaccinated but at her age her immune system is vulnerable and the antibiotics sheโ€™s on have the risk to make her further immunocompromised. He runs around day and night with no collar on so Iโ€™m going to assume no shots. He also hunts.

It was kinda slim pickings at the farmers market today but I did pick up some yummy greens. And I got a Kenyan BBQ seasoning that is currently cooking on some chicken. Oh and randomly picked up some rakia. So a strange haul but good.

Someone once told me to have the confidence of a man when applying for jobs. It's debatable how much confidence a man actually has in this scenario, but after a long day of feeling powerless when people steal, I have started applying for some jobs. Retail is great for penalty rates on the weekend, plus I do like the team I'm in and sometimes the customers, but it does feel a bit like a hot-and-cold relationship at times.

4
tombruzzo - 2mon

The reason for that saying is there has been research that men will apply for a job if they think they meet about 40% of a job description, whereas a woman will usually only apply for a job if they're confident they can do 100% of the tasks listed.

And from my experience there are times when the only way to get anywhere in the job market is quantity over quality. So at times I'll just put in for things because job titles match or it feels like something I can do based on vibes. Don't be afraid to just put in for something, even if you feel like it's a stretch. Jobs take more from us than we ever give them so fuck'em
