Hey belated happy birthday and hope you had a good one! I've got 2 cats indoors and 9 more outdoors and about 15 or so more strays who drop by to eat and drink. They consume a lot of cat food and I have to break up fights every now and then, but there's no way I can turn them away. I neuter as many as we can so they don't run away again. All the cats I have, including the indoor ones, were strays that just wandered inside our home. The others just like to go off on their own but I make sure there's catfood and drinks outside all the time so when they drop they won't go hungry. I'm having the same thoughts about kids. My sister has two kids and based on her experiences - and my own parents' - yeah, raising kids is a tough job, and we're not gonna get paid for it lol. Maybe I'll change my mind one day if the right one comes along, but I'm all right not having kids and being single. Life is challenging enough as it is. About those sickos and pervs, we have a few of those here as well unfortunately. I heard some of those creeps do that stuff so they can post it online and charge people to see it. That thing about those 16 and 12 year olds is depressing and it happens here occasionally too. I'm sorry to hear you had to go through all of that as a teenager, but as they say, anything that does not kill you makes you stronger. By standing up to bullying and not allowing people to push you around, you develop the self confidence necessary to face the challenges of daily living. And opening up about your sexuality - in real life and online - was absolutely the right thing to do. Our gender and sexual preference is our business and we don't need approval from anyone, not our parents, friends, co-workers and most certainly not anonymous cowards online.  After Beccy brought Stephanie home we spent most of the day playing with her and just watching her and she is so cute and we already love her to pieces and what surprises me the most is how well behaved she is and she has got into some mischief since we got her and some nights she “moaws” (not meows  ) until we got out to her and doesn’t like it when we are sitting at the table having dinner without her but she has been a good girl for the most part.
We had my family over for my birthday and they stayed for dinner and we had Chinese and got a lot of prawns and Beccy and I are vegetarians but we do eat some seafood like prawns, fish, crab sticks, seafood extender and calamari rings and I love prawn toast and prawn chips and Beccy loves honey prawns and they have all of that and more at our local Chinese Restaurant.  Wow. You have a LOT of cats where you live and we have had some stray cats in our streets but we don’t feed them or go near them ‘cause they sound savage and they will come in our front yard late at night and have these huge fights and we will be lying in bed asleep or half asleep and suddenly there will be this "RRRAAAAARRRR" and it scares the absolute shit out of you.   We don't have them as much as we used to and it has been a while since we have last heard them outside but I wouldn't go out near them 'cause I would be worried they would attack me or something 'cause they don't sound friendly like Stephanie and Vulpix but they are better than panthers and we had a black panther that was seen around our area a few years ago and I would run inside if I saw on of those. 
Yeah. Having children is a lot of hard work and they are something you should seriously think about before having them but if know that if you decide not to have them you are not alone and there are couples nowadays that don't have children. We did think about having children at one point and my sister was willing to have a baby for us but as much as we love children we come to the conclusion we did not want to be Mum's and we are happy with it being just the two of us and our pets. We have my nieces and nephew too and we often have my youngest niece coming here to stay with us and she sleeps over and we take her to a lot of fun places and have a great time but I prefer being an Aunt than a Mum. I am not a big fan of babies either with all the crying and changing their dirty nappies and babies are a whole different story and the things my Sister had to do with my nieces and nephew when they were babies used to freak me out and had me wanting to throw up some days.
It appears there are sickos all over the world and I don't know why but have to take the bad with the good and I have heard about what they do with the photos and videos online and there was one guy who ran a motel here that had a video camera set up inside the rooms and he was filming all of these couples having sex and watching them and uploading the videos online too and he was thankfully arrested after one couple discovered a little camera he had hidden in the room. I blame a lot of the sex crimes being committed by children on the easy access they have to porn on the internet and while I support porn and considered a career in it when I was younger I don't think children that young should be watching it 'cause it gives them a very warped and twisted view of sex 'cause they are too young to understand it. We can say it is all the parents fault and parents should be teaching them right from wrong but sadly in a lot of cases these children have parents who just throw them in front of a TV screen or computer and don't care what they are doing half the time. Thanks for the kind words and our sexuality is our own business and we don't need anybody's acceptance or approval of it especially homophobic morons online but there are people online who want to control everybody and if it is not our sexuality they are whinging over it is how many sexual partners we have had but there is a double standard with the latter. 
Deb that cake looks absolutely delicious. I've never had one like that before but I'll be on the lookout for sure. My personal favorite is Black Forest though I haven't had one in a while. I envy you and Beccy because I can only eat small amounts of seafood. I am allergic to shrimp, prawns, lobsters etc. My eyes shut, my lips swell and my face turns red and burns when I eat too much. They're the only foods I'm allergic to and it's a pain coz I like seafood. I also like Chinese food especially fried rice and Wonton (it kinda looks like the xenomorph eggs in Alien but they taste good haha) I get what you mean about the stray cats. When they're in heat the males really fight and sometimes I can hear them making a ruckus on the roof. You're right to be concerned about your pets because I have seen cats bloodied after fighting. Even when I feed them they're still aloof and don't like to be touched. Black panther? I didn't you had T'Challa in your neighborhood lol. About kids: I have heard people say that we "need" to have kids so somebody will take care of us when we get old. While I respect other people's opinions, it seems rather selfish. How can a child raise his own family if he/she has to worry about you? As individuals we need to take care of ourselves, physically, financially, emotionally and mentally so we don't burden kids if we choose to have them. Also, kids can grow up to be neglectful idiots who'll abandon you, so it's no guarantee. I also have no issues with porn on the Internet. I don't think we should censor what is on the web, as people and countries have different views on morality and what's appropriate - but we can install software filter on our computers so kids can't access them. Parents have to be responsible. I can say the same thing about violence in video games: if parents are concerned about the violence, then they should buy only age appropriate games. A career in porn? Well I didn't see that coming. But it's legitimate way of making a living no matter what some may say, as they entertain a lot of people and not hurting anyone. I've read though that while money is good for women generally, men make much less. Well that's understandable I mean you're having sex with the hottest women on the planet for a living, that ain't too bad. I've read though that being a pornstar isn't all fun and games. Women have to keep themselves fit of course and watch everything they eat. And if they run their own website business, there's paperwork too. Just like any other job one needs to be professional about it. Yes I have noticed the double standard when it comes to sex. When it comes to men it's okay for them to have several partners. But if women and LGBT do the same they will say it's wrong, immoral etc. I know some folks with multiple sex partners and others who have slept with only one person. I'm cool with both, but there must not be any double standard. And it's not just sex but you see it movies too when a female led movie doesn't do well at the box office they say, well audiences don't like films where women are the lead characters. Yet they fail to mention the number of box office bombs with males in the starring role. |

It can be cheaper too and there are actually a surprising amount of things here that are just so much cheaper to buy already made at the shops than to buy all of the ingredients and make them yourself and it also saves you a lot of time. We love seafood and I’m sorry to hear you are allergic to it ‘cause you are missing out and we have a few shops around here that sell seafood and we get garlic prawns when we go to our local RSL club and there is a seafood shop not far away from where we live and it has a seafood pack with prawn cutlets, calamari rings, seafood sticks, fish cocktails and chips and it is rather expensive compared to other take away shops but is worth the price. I have known a number of people over the years that were allergic to foods and I had a friend who was allergic to nuts and it made it difficult for her to eat a lot of foods ‘cause so many foods have nuts in their ingredients.
I think the worst thing to be allergic to apart from nuts would be corn ‘cause from what I have heard corn is in nearly everything and there was a special I recall seeing on corn and how dangerous it was for people who are allergic to it and they said corn is used in a lot of foods and they don’t mention it on the ingredients and burgers, nuggets and chips at places like McDonalds and KFC all had traces of corn in them that they didn’t warn people about. What is funny is we often to go to the local Chinese Restaurant here and I have been going there for as long as I can remember and the guy who owns it was friends with my Grandfather but we rarely ever get Chinese food. We get things like King Prawns and Mushrooms Omelets, King Prawns, Mushrooms and Vegetables, Prawn salads, Prawn Cocktails, Honey Prawns, Prawn Chips and Hot Chips but we know we are not the only ones that do that.
I am not a fan of stray cats fighting outside our house at night and the noises they make are dreadful and sometimes it doesn’t even sound like cats and they are more like lions or tigers but then you will hear that "RRRAAAARRR" noise lol and there is definitely no way I would be letting our pussycats out near them ‘cause Vulpix and Stephanie are not violent like them. I would rather have T-Challa in our neighbourhood than a real black panther ‘cause from what I have heard they will attack people with no hesitation and are extremely vicious and dangerous. I can thankfully say I have never seen one up close but I have seen photos of them (like the ones below) and they do not look friendly and Beccy is scared of them too and she isn’t scared of too many things and grew up killing snakes on a farm.
You bring up some good points about kids and I feel you should only have children if you really want to be a parent ‘cause there are sadly a lot of people these days that have children only to leave them in front of a screen all day and not pay attention to them and they then wonder why they grow up to be troublemakers and not realise it is a cry for attention – attention that they never gave them when they were growing up ‘cause they were so busy with their so-called busy schedule they couldn’t take an hour or two to get to know their children and talk to them. A lot of our friends have children and my exes do too and they grow up fast and some of them are teenagers now and my youngest niece just spent the weekend with us and she is getting older every day and looking at her older sister makes me feel old ‘cause I remember when she was born like it was not long ago.
Double standards are annoying and outdated and there are a lot of double standards that were around when I was younger that are still in full force now and surprisingly some that weren't which exist now but I tend to find men are able to get away with things easier than they used to and I remember there was a lot of slut shaming on some of the movie and TV show boards on the old IMDB and we would have members slut shaming Snookie in 'True Blood' for sleeping with multiple partners but completely ignoring how many sex partners her brother had and a simple look at their profiles showed them going to other boards for shows like 'Californication' and 'Hung' and praising guys up for sleeping with multiple partners and calling them awesome and legends in true sexist hypocrite fashion.

Yeah good point about managing the amount of cakes and sweets we eat. But sometimes it's hard to eat healthy. Been busy at work so I haven't been able to exercise regularly like before. Eating too much, not working out and staying up late, just not good for you. Nice to know you can bake and prepare your own food. Me, I can't even fry an egg properly lol. I just order food or throw everything in the microwave. And it's the same here, you can buy pretty much everything so no need to cook. Just eat and if there are leftovers you can just reheat it. Just wondering, do Australians eat rice? It's a staple in many Asian countries, but what about there? Yup it's frustrating about the seafood stuff coz they're really good. I can eat some mushrooms and a few potato chips with shrimp flavors. But I can't consume as many shrimps, lobsters, squid as I want. I have an anti-allergy medicine, but I want to limit my intake of medicines so I just minimize my seafood intake. Do you have any food allergies? And that thing about kids growing up real fast... yes I can relate. Last time I saw my cousin she was like 5. Now she's married with two children. Seems like every every cousin, sibling, niece and nephew of mine is married, used to be married or about to get married with kids. Oh well, good luck to them. |

It was delicious and there are quite a few cakes I like from the Cheesecake shop and I love, love, love their Caramel, Vanilla and Treasure Mudcakes, rainbow cakes, pavlova, Creamy Caramel and Cookies and Cream Cheesecakes, Lemon Meringues and Double Choc Strawberry Tortes and we have a Black Forest cake at the Cheesecake Shop too and it has vanilla cream, sour cherries and Belgian chocolate on top and it is delicious too but I like a lot of different cakes and we don’t eat that many here ‘cause too many is not healthy but I make my own cakes too and Beccy loves it when I make Chocolate Mint Cakes and Chocolate Jaffa cakes the most. I also make biscuits and my Auntie taught me how to cook things like that growing up and I enjoy cooking but sometimes it is easier just to buy a cake from the Cheesecake shop.

One of the problems with people eating healthy here is our junk foods are so much cheaper than our health foods as I mentioned before but instead of putting the prices of health foods down they want to put the prices of junk food up which doesn’t help anybody in the long run and just makes it harder for families who are already struggling to make ends meet thanks to us having things like the highest energy prices in the world and if we want to get more people to eat healthy then we have to make it cheaper for them ‘cause that will encourage more to buy them. It is the same case with cigarettes in a way and unless you are somebody who can just go cold turkey the cost of quitting can be far more expensive than smoking even with all the taxes they have added to cigarettes in the past decade.
I know what you mean about staying up late and I used to be quite the night owl and I would stay up until around 4-4:30 am some nights and even longer while Beccy was in bed asleep and I still do that sometimes but nowhere near as much as I used to ‘cause it is not fun going to work the next day and feeling like you are going to doze off ‘cause you didn’t get much sleep. Cooking is fun and something you should learn one day ‘cause you are missing out () but there are a lot of things you can buy for microwaves now which make it easier for people that can’t cook and you can cook up lots of veggies in the microwave too and we sometimes get packs of spinach and mix butter, cheese, tomatoes and bread with them and that surprisingly taste really good but I just refuse to have the mushrooms and butter in a can ‘cause it looks so horrible and I have heard it doesn't taste bad but I am not trying it.
It is a shame you can’t eat much seafood especially prawns and I didn’t know they had prawn flavour chips or mushrooms and we don’t have them here ( ) but we did have these fish flavoured biscuits I remember hearing about that were awful and if there is one kind of seafood that I absolutely refuse to eat it is seafood ice cream and I have seen fish, prawn and crab flavoured ice cream and I have no idea how anybody can eat it and just the thought of it makes me feel ill. Do you have that in your country and if so do you know anybody that has tried it? Yes. We have rice here and you can get lots of different types of rice at the shops and oriental rice is very popular and there is rice cream and my Grandfather used to love having that and the first time I tried that I thought it was going to taste bad but I liked it and I like rice custard too.

17-minute lime & coconut butter chicken with rice.  There was perhaps a tad too much lime in it (or coriander or something), but it was still pretty good. 8/10 |

I just order food or throw everything in the microwave. And it's the same here, you can buy pretty much everything so no need to cook. Just eat and if there are leftovers you can just reheat it. Just wondering, do Australians eat rice? It's a staple in many Asian countries, but what about there? Yup it's frustrating about the seafood stuff coz they're really good. I can eat some mushrooms and a few potato chips with shrimp flavors. But I can't consume as many shrimps, lobsters, squid as I want. I have an anti-allergy medicine, but I want to limit my intake of medicines so I just minimize my seafood intake. Do you have any food allergies? And that thing about kids growing up real fast... yes I can relate. Last time I saw my cousin she was like 5. Now she's married with two children. Seems like every every cousin, sibling, niece and nephew of mine is married, used to be married or about to get married with kids. Oh well, good luck to them.
One of the problems with people eating healthy here is our junk foods are so much cheaper than our health foods as I mentioned before but instead of putting the prices of health foods down they want to put the prices of junk food up which doesn’t help anybody in the long run and just makes it harder for families who are already struggling to make ends meet thanks to us having things like the highest energy prices in the world and if we want to get more people to eat healthy then we have to make it cheaper for them ‘cause that will encourage more to buy them. It is the same case with cigarettes in a way and unless you are somebody who can just go cold turkey the cost of quitting can be far more expensive than smoking even with all the taxes they have added to cigarettes in the past decade.
I know what you mean about staying up late and I used to be quite the night owl and I would stay up until around 4-4:30 am some nights and even longer while Beccy was in bed asleep and I still do that sometimes but nowhere near as much as I used to ‘cause it is not fun going to work the next day and feeling like you are going to doze off ‘cause you didn’t get much sleep. Cooking is fun and something you should learn one day ‘cause you are missing out () but there are a lot of things you can buy for microwaves now which make it easier for people that can’t cook and you can cook up lots of veggies in the microwave too and we sometimes get packs of spinach and mix butter, cheese, tomatoes and bread with them and that surprisingly taste really good but I just refuse to have the mushrooms and butter in a can ‘cause it looks so horrible and I have heard it doesn't taste bad but I am not trying it.
It is a shame you can’t eat much seafood especially prawns and I didn’t know they had prawn flavour chips or mushrooms and we don’t have them here () but we did have these fish flavoured biscuits I remember hearing about that were awful and if there is one kind of seafood that I absolutely refuse to eat it is seafood ice cream and I have seen fish, prawn and crab flavoured ice cream and I have no idea how anybody can eat it and just the thought of it makes me feel ill. Do you have that in your country and if so do you know anybody that has tried it? Yes. We have rice here and you can get lots of different types of rice at the shops and oriental rice is very popular and there is rice cream and my Grandfather used to love having that and the first time I tried that I thought it was going to taste bad but I liked it and I like rice custard too.
Good to hear that you're in the best shape of your life. Unlike you I gain weight quickly so I try to control what I eat and drink. And it's not just the weight, I mean I try my damndest to eat healthy foods because one can have the ideal weight and still get sick if their cholesterol or sugar level is too high. I have a pair of dumbbells here, and they're just gathering dust lol. I even had a punching bag and other workout equipment but I simply don't have time to work out. Yeah excuses excuses. The situation with health vs junk food prices is the same in the Philippines. Junk food, sugary drinks, pastries etc are everywhere and they're cheap. On the other hand you have to pay more if you want to eat low sugar desserts, lean meat, vegetarian dishes etc. I am thankful I never picked up the habit of smoking. I tried it a few times years ago, Marlboro. I didn't mind the taste but didn't find myself longing for it. I quit. I also don't drink alcoholic beverages anymore. I used to drink beer but one time I had a really bad hangover and threw up and got a massive headache. Since then I've sworn off them. Deb, we do have fish flavored ice cream here. Some even use spicy fish and I have no idea what that tastes like. We also have wasabi ice cream, salted egg ice cream, bacon ice cream, red chili ice cream, sucking pig ice cream and crocodile ice cream, ice cream topped with crocodile eggs. Lol no I haven't tried these. About staying up late. Yeah I know the feeling of having to go to work the next day and just not having the energy. I've been thinking about this a lot lately and how nice it'd be to be my own boss and not worry about beating a deadline or doing that 9 to 5 thing anymore. |

I think running and walking is the best and easiest exercise a person can do when it comes to staying healthy and I often take my Malshis for walks and was going to do that today but have been too busy cleaning up around the house and I had an accident earlier and dropped boxes and all the things that were inside them come out and went everywhere. It took me a while to clean it all up and put the boxes back where they come from but it was better than some of the other accidents that I have had over the years and I used to be very clumsy and I still am clumsy now but nowhere near as much as I used to be when I was younger. I used to knock things over quite often and my Aunt used to pack all her breakable items away when I would visit my Uncle and her so I didn’t have any accidents.
Dancing, throwing your arms up in the air and spinning around in circles can be dangerous when you aren’t watching what you are doing and I love to dance a lot to music even though I’m a pretty awful dancer ( ) and out of all the things I have knocked over here in recent years I think the worst had to be our Christmas Tree and Beccy and I both caused that playing around and it took AGES for us to fix that ‘cause we had to take all of the remaining decorations and lights off and put them back on again and the lights were tangled. I think most people have had their fair share of oopsy doopsy moments but some of us have them more than others and I’m one of those people and thankfully no one ever tried to film them and send them in to ‘Australia’s Funniest Home Videos’ when it was on air.
Low fat and low sugar desserts being more expensive here stands out ‘cause they are right near each other in shops and you have the choice of buying two different versions of the same product and the healthier one is sometimes $2-$3 more expensive. It is stupid and I often blame the companies for it but I am left wondering if it is the companies that make the products or supermarkets like Coles and Woolworths ‘cause they want more people to eat the unhealthy one. I am a smoker and smoking is the most unhealthiest thing I do and it is best you didn't pick up the habit 'cause it is very addictive and hard to give up once you have started. I started smoking back in the 90s and I regret having started but I have cut right down on it now and don't smoke anywhere near as much as I used and every year I cut down on it more and Beccy thinks I am going really good and I only smoke 3-4 cigarettes a day now. I never had Marlboro. I have heard of it but the brands I have smoked have been Holiday, Horizon, Longbeach and Winfield and I have smoked plain and menthol. Back when I started smoking it was something nearly everybody I knew did and was very common here.
Yuck!! I didn't know they had spicy fish flavoured ice cream too but I probably shouldn't be surprised 'cause fish flavoured ice cream is weird itself and what makes me want to hurl is some of the pictures I have seen of fish ice cream have bits of fish in the ice cream and it is the same with the prawn and crab flavours but there must be people eating them or they wouldn't sell them. Thanks for posting those photos of the seafood flavored potato chips and the top one looks very similar to our prawn chips and I would probably try some of those but not seafood ice cream.
