It is Mum's birthday gift. Or one of them.
It is soaking in the fridge for 5 hours.
i'm getting some mileage out of paracetamol (different name there that i forget) but then i end up with rebound shoulder and neck pain a day or 2 later lol
that is so typical of him
the shrooms outta help with that.
They don’t look like the magic ones. I only know that because it doesn’t look like the right growing medium.

whoa, whoa, whoa..........
im not sure what you 2 are implying.....I know those are shiitake shrooms (very good but I might have gone portabello). And what are these cow poop fungi you speak of? Do I strike you as the kind of guy that would eat something like that...marinated in something to cut that nasty taste....possibly root beer(believe that...and drink the marinade)....
I feel as though my character has taken a hit...maybe I shouldn’t say anything about taking a hit...that my be misconstrued as well.
thank god you didn’t post pics of home brewing hops or powdered sugar. My good name would probably be completely ruined with mistaken insinuations.
I was conjecturing, since you were a roadie kind of guy previously.
You have hops and powder too!

I have an acquaintance that lives in Orlando who was a home brewer extraordinaire
who eventually started up a brew pub. Once when we were walking to his van in a parking lot he said that he had something cool to show me. He opened up the back door to his van a pulled Out a cellophane block The size of a concrete block that had been sliced open. He pulled out a huge “bud” of greenery right there in front of numerous people...freaking me out to the point of pushing him and his package towards the van door and telling him he can’t be pulling that out where others can see...said we’d end up in jail. He laughed his butt off at my reaction while trying to tell me it was a block of extra special hops he a purchased from another master brewer in town. It looked exactly like something you would find in the mountains in your part of the world. It was very pretty.
It is Mum's birthday gift. Or one of them.

Ummm, I hate to say it, but...EEEEEWWWWWWW
Did not!!!
nuh unhhhh, no he didn’t!that is so typical of him

Melbourne artist plans to self-inseminate for a lockdown livestream
By Nick Miller
August 14, 2020 — 11.30am
Sometime soon, probably next week, Melbourne artist Casey Jenkins will ovulate. Jenkins will send out a notification on social media, a vial of sperm will arrive on their doorstep and, within hours, an audience will watch online as they self-inseminate. In the name of art.

Artist Casey Jenkins will livestream a self-insemination every month. EDDIE JIM
Jenkins' project Immaculate is supported by South Australia's Vitalstatistix and the Australia Council, and intended as a precursor for a work commissioned by Arts Centre Melbourne and the Fringe.
The 41-year-old accepts it will provoke discomfort, and probably criticism. Jenkins is no stranger to controversy. In 2013 a "vaginal knitting" performance piece made worldwide headlines, went viral on YouTube and sparked outrage (and abuse).
But Jenkins is not just making trouble - there's a point to be made here. The work is about disadvantages imposed on women in the art world, about prejudice against queer pregnancy and conception, about isolation and connection.
"I had a child a couple of years ago and since then I've become really aware of how there is no place for a person who has primary caring responsibility in the art world," Jenkins says. "It revolves around 6pm canapes and viewings, and you can't do that if you have to do bathtime."
The new performance piece, on the other hand, is dictated by "the erratic and hard to predict" rhythms of Jenkins' body. "One of the things I'm most excited about with this work is that everyone's schedules have been thrown out the window [by the pandemic lockdown], and it's more acceptable to say 'I'm going to be doing a performance when my body is ready and you can come to me', rather than trying to fit my body into these very patriarchal schedules.
"The rest of the world has come into the rhythm of my life now. As a solo parent I don't get out much. I am home alone a lot, or just with my child. People will resonate with it more, realise how a lot of people do live these solitary existences anyway."
Jenkins had planned to try to conceive anyway, but wanted to make it into art. A donor will "drop it at the gate for me" - Jenkins has a medical exemption and everything will comply with Stage 4 lockdown rules. On the livestream, Jenkins will talk to the camera about "some experiences I've had in trying to conceive", then move to the back of the room and insert the sperm with a needle-less syringe, then lie there for half an hour "and that's it", roughly once a month for four months (or until conception).
Jenkins acknowledges, even welcomes, the potential for backlash. "I want it to be as simple and uncontrived as possible - I feel it's quite banal - and I think when you find an action that is at once banal and shocking then you've happened on a point of hypocrisy in society.
"A woman, a person of my age who is solo, this is considered an aberration, that it's not natural. It's called artificial insemination - that it's not right, that it's somehow lesser, it's sad, it's not an ideal way of having a child - I should not have a child or I should have a man.
"These are very negative ideas that I sense society feels toward a person like me going through this process. There's no way of me existing that is acceptable - except not to show myself.
"I hope there will be conversations around this. If they feel uncomfortable, they will then say 'why?' What exactly, when there's not much there, will they hang that discomfort on?"
Immaculate is backed by arts organisation Vitalstatistix with Australia Council funding. Jenkins had initially hoped to present the piece through Take Over! - a program for new work by Arts Centre Melbourne and the Melbourne Fringe - but instead will create for them a performance that "results from the process and relates to me being pregnant or not".
Emma Webb, director of Vitalstatistix, said the body funded the piece through their Adhocracy lab because "Casey's work feels so pertinent right now... an incisive critique of the way reproduction is commonly viewed, and of access to reproductive services".
And, Webb added, as with many artists', usual income sources dried up it was a good time to support new work from "an important Australian artist".
An Arts Centre Melbourne spokeswoman said they decided not to present the Immaculate livestream after considering "whether we could fully support [Jenkins] to realise their vision... through a safety first lens for our team and the artists", and Jenkins' Take Over! project was yet to be fully explored and agreed.
Jenkins will post social media updates on her Facebook and Instagram page, and host the livestream on her website.

Naught aka Astronaught aka Aaron Naughton kicked 6 goals for us today (where 4 is generally accepted as the very good game cut off)
He usually plays full back (like goal keeper) but moved forward to full forward today
It was against the Crows, who haven't won a game this season. But, I think that Huddy must be too distracted by granny's ampersand to adversely affect us today

Huddy must be distracted cuz if there ever was a team he would pull shenanigans for, it would be the Crows. Unless you have a team called the back stabin, momma slapin, dog kickin traitors. He would definitely do nefarious acts for that team.
i bet poi boi is sleeping off some pineapple today.
this is how i see you guys in my head
i'll let you guess who is who
my Pom poms are yellow and my boots are black.
grannybears doesn’t swing the ping.
But the Swede does stand around pondering his next pineapple fix....so I think that one is pretty spot on.
And my shorts are a little shortier.
and I absolutely believe you when you say that If you’ll believe me when I say that I’ll still love and respect you in the morning.
It was Huddy in disguise who kicked the 6 goals, naught Naughton. Huddy is multitalented ?Naught aka Astronaught aka Aaron Naughton kicked 6 goals for us today (where 4 is generally accepted as the very good game cut off)

Oh great...that’s an image I’ll have trouble getting out of my head...???
And you will love every minute of mental imageryOh great...that’s an image I’ll have trouble getting out of my head...
my cheerleading shorty shorts are a tad slutier than my mowing thong.
How does that affect that image in your head?

I know, right?
been worried about that pineapple thing. Glad you checked in.
For
for realz.
so....do you swing a ping or is that to pedestrian for a Swedish poi boi?
I’d love to golf (I have a number of times) but afraid my OCD and golf would be worse than shiitakes, powder sugar and pineapple combined.
plus I’ve looked into golfing apparel and golf thongs and putting shorty shorts are expensive And I only go for the best. Even if I don’t golf I might have to get that golfing thong. The built in putter holster is worth the $$$.
Golf and pineapple don’t mix.

Callaway all the way to gap wedge. Trying some Cleveland sand and lob wedges for now.
Could have got a lot of new stuff, if it wasn’t for the dental work.

Haven’t made any of those for a while, so no need for a pretty smile.
