  • Likely just double sided tape. That would gather dust where exposed, (not stuck to wires, bit) though. As I found out from doing the same thing with a super long lamp cable, in my bathroom, where we only had a heatlamp, and that sucked in summer. But also the power point was in an awkward place, so I dangled a lamp from the ceiling, but after taking it down, and being too lazy to remove the tape, now it’s fly catching tape.





  • There was no internet for me, growing up. When I was 10, we moved to a place on the edge of the main suburbs, backing onto bushland, in Australia, with massive mountains surrounding us, so much wildlife and moss and so many species of flora. And! There was an old broken, partly abandoned chook shed, with a creaky door. The place was magical. We took all the buckets we could find, me, my sister and all my cousins, mostly all girls, (the two youngest were boys, we included them too) would make huge concoctions with moss and the varying brush species around. We would send off parties to gather supplies for the steeping concoctions. We would pretend we had gone on massive journeys with battles, to gather the vital life saving precious flowers or interesting twigs. We’d be at it all day. When we weren’t doing that, I would be off hiking in the mountains, by myself, just for fun.


  • Any tinned beans are ready to eat, just rinse and heat a little (a minute in the microwave, give or take). I’m super time poor, So lately I’ve been mixing a few varieties of beans, with some just defrosted peas and corn, and some dip and corn chips, if im feeling fancy. Damn it’s yummo!

    I use about 1/2 cup peas corn, microwave for 30 sec to 1 min, in a little water, drain.

    Pour in 1/3c (odd) of whatever beans you like (I go with black beans, chick peas, and lentils)

    Microwave 30 seconds.

    Add lemon juice to taste. Pour on whatever dressing you want for flavour. (Tzatziki, 2tbsp or vinegarette, or salsa, endless options)

    Then you can use it like a chunky salsa / dip, eat with corn chips. Or as is.

    Or eat with rice or noodles.

    I have at times added cheese or a chicken schnitzel.









  • My grandson has taken multiple of my phones for a bath, they all said waterproof. Guess why I said multiple phones. Well, some he broke by smashing them.

    Fun times!

    Problem with the waterproof rating with phones is they heat up, or overheat, one day and bam, no more waterproofing. I definitely wouldn’t recommend pushing it.


  • I was probably more like 5 to 6 months before it was even slightly really noticeable, probably 7 months on, before it’s definitely noticeable it’s a pregnancy belly. From that time on I was stopped constantly and talked to about it. Then constantly stopped for people to speak to me about my baby, especially the last one, she must have been especially cute, because I couldn’t take two steps in public without someone stopping me to ask the same questions, the person two steps earlier had had asked. It drove me mad a little. Worst thing about it was, my little one was terrified of strangers, and she would dig her little head into my shoulder to try and hide from them, and I had to explain to people she’s scared of strangers, sorry we couldn’t stop to talk.

    You can’t really tell through clothing, until further along. And the first few months make you lose weight faster than you’re gaining it, because you’re burning so much building a whole human.

    From 4 months I had that hard protrusion oval shape, start poking out. If I were wearing a bikini, you could have told i was pregnant from looking at me from 4 months, possibly.

    How far along are you?
