  • The Aldi ‘light touch’ face sunscreen is not great. After applying it to my inner elbow twice to test for allergy I used it on my face. There’s no strong perfume, a faint initial sting, a white cast that fades, but it’s extremely greasy and shiny. Like an oil slick.

    I’ll use it in an emergency rather than have no sunscreen but that level of oiliness definitely looks weird. It’s a shame because the price is very good and it hasn’t given me a reaction (yet).

  • Chipping away at Mt Washmore and later tonight I tackle Mt Dishmore. I emptied the bins and the air seems nicer out there today, clear and fresh enough to crack the doors for a breeze.

    I hope this means good news around the fires

  • Maybe? I seem to remember a thin lemon icing glaze that dried hard and glossy, and they may or may not have been shaped as knots. It was a long time ago.

    But I do remember they absolutely used lard, I remember the thick white fat and faint smell. I could use butter but dairy.

    I don’t have either 00 or bread flour, anything I make is generic general purpose flour. It’s not great but reasons of budget and waste (can use it for multiple things)

  • Kind of considering trying to find the recipe for those Italian lemon cookies I made in home ec decades ago. But they were a traditional recipe that used lard… I don’t know if shops still sell lard. Or if they would sit well with me.

    Plus I’d have to shop. And clean the kitchen before and after.

    I am bored out of my mind but physically feel like I got hit by a bus

  • Edited: It could maybe become a problem. I don’t know.

    It probably wouldn’t be binding on a minor

    But debt collectors might want to try and make you pay. Sometimes they can still try to reclaim a debt less than 15 years old rather than 6, so depending on timing it could remain just within that period once your son is 18 (potentially with interest) and in the meantime they could still try to take you to court.

    Debt collectors have rules about what they can do but are allowed to be persistent and in some cases are allowed to come to your home or seize assets.

    IANAL and have no idea of the real risk of doing this. But I don’t like anything I see, I don’t mess around about debt. Definitely speak to a financial advice place to ask about the legalities if you try to let the debt expire. Personally for peace of mind I’d just pay it

  • Melbcat has had a very thorough checkup and they say the crying is behavioural due to getting older, it’s not likely to be pain. Which is a relief. Options will be explored to keep her more comfortable physically and mentally.

    I find out about the other stuff when they call back

  • Holy fuck, thanks for helping him dude.

    I’ve seen options for cats that need assistance (you manually squeeze the urine out for them by pressing their bladder) but it’s an around the clock thing and you’d have to think about his quality of life.

    Either way he’s so lucky you’re looking out for him.
