It is times like these that should serve as educational material for lady Cats. The menfolk around here are not on your side.
How do you know what they sound like? I certainly don’t! 😀
On some of the females here being misogynist…well, I’m pretty sure I don’t “hate” all women, I definitely dislike and avoid the nasty ones who want what I consider to be horrible things for me and my family, and for other women.
Being an Equal Opportunity ist-er the same applies to misandry and men.
As for the strange pronoun people, I don’t think there’s an equivalent “ist” word for them yet. We’ve only got as far as “phobe” which doesn’t quite cut it.
If women have the vote men only have themselves to blame.
Why would I want men on my “side”? They might be on some issues and not on others and vice versa.
I’m certainly not on the same “side” as many of them on some issues.
Wherever The Borg resides, it definitely isn’t here.
I Dunno, Monty.
I didn’t advocate confining them to their homes, mandating a vaccine into them, destroying their children’s/grandchildren’s education, destroying their livelihoods, shooting them with rubber bullets or forcing them to wear a face covering.
As I recall, you waved the Pom-Poms for this shit, whilst I advocated for their human rights to be reinstated.
Let’s compare who’s on who’s side.
Dies Monty let his children cross a busy road by themselves?
If not he’s giving ‘life advice’.
The Beloved wanted the best for his girls, good, solid education and good careers (provided that was what they wanted too). He was also delighted when they produced grandchildren too. You could describe him as a “feminist” I suppose.
He’s definitely not a cuckold! And neither are their husbands.

Daniel Andrews insists ‘no deal will be offered’ to Greens or independents should Labor fail to win majority government
My view – there are a huuuge number of people who have terrible trouble navigating life as adults. They want to live in a state of perpetual childhood or adolescence without acquiring and of the responsibilities of adulthood.
This has come about because of poor parenting, over extended secondary education with an unrealistic expectation of tertiary entrance and the money that goes with it. In other words, a ridiculous sense of entitlement.
It isn’t specific to a political affiliation – it afflicts across the board. But it finds it’s payday in socialism, where everyone is supposedly “equal” regardless of diligence or intelligence.
The Beloved wanted the best for his girls, good, solid education and good careers (provided that was what they wanted too). He was also delighted when they produced grandchildren too. You could describe him as a “feminist” I suppose.
I WOULDN’T describe him as a feminist, just a man doing his job and duty.
Male feminists are a different breed entirely.
Quote fail. Sorry Calli.
Hey Cats
advice needed.
Got some pretty shitty bloodwork back today and my body isn’t in as “great shape” as I thought it was. A number of severe issues, including heart disease (but not sure how far progressed it is until I get an MRI done, and if not too far progressed could be reversible)…
Does one tell family and/or friends as you do have the disease or do you wait and see how bad it is…
It looked to be a good idea at the time. JS Mill On Liberty sold me on female suffrage when I was sixteen. The old grumps said that women are unduly influenced by their emotions and can seldom handle rational thought. And they were right.
But, this creep is?
Calli should be allowed to vote. M0nty shouldn’t.
Lysander
Tell close (as defined by you) family now. Wait until you know the scale before telling more distant family and friends would be my approach.
Thanks BJ…. I do have to tell work as I’m going to be off for a whole bunch of extra tests methinks….
It’s a strange feeling because I feel perfectly healthy (but, yes I smoke) and had a two hour run on Saturday…
Yes, Mater. Here’s a quick definition:
I won’t presume to speak for him, but after a lifetime I’m pretty sure he’d approve of the first sentence simply based on his actions and words. Amusingly, he’d add “legal equality” to that.
The second sentence is where the b/s resides. It may have been so in the past, but it isn’t now. Particularly in the West.
The FDA Has Banned NMN Supplements!
Lysander says:
November 14, 2022 at 4:30 pm
Sorry to hear that, I hope it works out for you.
IMO, I wouldn’t tell anybody until I had all the details. No need for them to worry as well – it achieves nothing. When you do reveal there will, of course, be many questions and you need to be able to answer those based on diagnosis and plans for recovery.
It’s the old thing about not presenting someone with only the problem – present a problem and the solution.
Thanks Speedy and BJ – just the wife for now….

Calli should be allowed to vote. M0nty shouldn’t.
Plus Cassie, Tinta, Crossie, Delta A, Helen (nmrn), BBS, Lizzie and others whom I might have overlooked via failing memory.
Plus infinity re m0nty-fa, his very existence is a monument to the existence of genetic intellectual limitations.
Anent calli’s remark about growing up.
Something I have noticed about human beans, is that some have a strong sense of reality, and others can live their lives inside a fantasy. Engineers, farmers, soldiers tend to be in the former class, literary ppl and bureaucrats in the latter.
M0nty is a prime exemplar of someone in the fantasy class. His grasp on reality is tenuous in the extreme, as he demonstrates every day.
See where it says ‘equality’? That’s for normal people like your other half.
Male feminists substitute in ‘equity’, and that’s where it all goes wrong.
Lysander
Being retired, I overlooked the work issue. Tell only your immediate supervisor, and emphasise your desire for medical privacy.
I suspect there are court orders involved.
His wrongology is such that it could easily be argued that his thoughts are biohazards, and even a simple ‘Good morning’ could see someone hospitalised and teetering on the precipice of death by 9:00 am.
Bad news, Lysander. Hope and pray they’ve got it early.
My inclination is to tell the very nearest and dearest about it. As you are a Christian maybe one or two of your closest brothers so they can pray for you – this is when you need to do a bit of “God bothering”.
And no further until you get the exact condition and the remedy.
If they were four years old, they were exceptionally bright. Merinos spend their waking hours figuring out ways to get into trouble. The survivors are the smarter ones.
I’m getting cranky about the men here blaming women for election outcomes they don’t like, while ignoring the ones they do like (Tony Abbot, Boris Johnson, Donald Trump).
Those of them who have not seen their dicks (except maybe in an upward tilted mirror) in the last decade, the ones who have strong views about the attractiveness of women – in short, the peanut gallery – have zero credibility. They are losers who women, correctly, avoid.
And what BJ said about your work supervisor. That makes four people in total plus you.
You are confusing lady Cats with cat ladies.
But blaming single women for the environment they grew up in is unfair.
Blaming individuals, and having consequences for poor decisions is what is lacking from the “environment”.
Lets face it, seeing this slag dying in a gutter of starvation* as respectable people walk around it would have a far greater effect on “environment” than anything else you could think of.
Similar to my modest proposal for politicans who lose elections.
Nothing would focus their minds more on keeping people onside than this.
* KD your new ride awaits… Time for you to go deep, deep undercovers and find out if she has teeth down there or not.
Thanks also Calli – (as well as BJ and Speedster), yes I have a few Christian “brothers” who are actually closer than my immediate family!
For God’s sake, man!
It is not that kind of a blog!

Nearly forgot, when discussing with your work supervisor, mention the words “Commonwealth Privacy Act” somewhere in the conversation.
I read a study last week which argued for a big spike in cancer and metastasis risk. I expected that because one chemotherapy target is inhibiting the NAD pathway. 6 months ago I warned a friend about the possible risk. The ban is ridiculous, people can make that choice but I’m not confident most using like drugs had an understanding of the risk.
What is this discussion about single or unmarried women based on? Is it the D+34? One breakdown of this number I’ve seen is that it was single/ divorced women, excl. widows. What is the age breakdown? Demographic breakdown? Unless we see these numbers discussion is likely to be revealing about our priors, this incl. Monty too.
Not sure what Spell Wreck did with the “Lysa” that I typed before “nder”!
Geez that NMN news is utter corrupt horsie poop.
GRRRR
“It’s just a type of vitamin B3!”
So basically the hype merchant patents what he hypes etc.
You only need to discuss with your supervisor if you think you need support from your employer in order for you to do your job. If you can still do your job with no impact, then it’s none of their business.

Well yes, transitioning to identify as a lesbian would strongly suggest he lives in a fantasy world. Sure.
No, I was talking about the single women I know. I would not presume to lecture them for their personal choices, unlike the Male Mrs Mangel set here.
Yeah I agree Razey that I don’t really need to tell work but I do have an excellent boss and it might look a bit “funny” that I’m going to need to be out of the office several times over the next few weeks for tests…
daFisk will be mortified, Im sure
Such as? Are there more than a few examples? That were systemic?
I agree.
Have you heard of bachelor taxes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor_tax
Aha haha…err…
1825, State of New York:
A bill was proposed (did not pass) in the New York legislature comparing bachelors with dogs, aiming to replace the then current tax on dogs with one on bachelors instead.
Anyway, it’s a FIFTEEN digit number.
FIFTEEN ferkin numbers.
It’s 15 digit because that’s what our “international obligations” says it needs to be.
Stunning. Absolute mensch.

No, I was talking about the single women I know.
Almost certainly complete fabrication. “Single women I know of” is as close as it’s going to get.
Former UFC and Bellator fighter Anthony ‘Rumble’ Johnson dies at 38 after illness
Hmm. I wonder what caused that. Well, the article goes out of its way to say what it’s not:
Interesting how they’ve started doing this ever since a certain therapeutic treatment started to be broadly administered, and people started dying very prematurely around the same time. I’m sure it’s just a coincidence.
Anyhoo, so it’s not Covid. Does this exclude Covid-related causes? Anything heart-related, perhaps?
It’s not not not COVID.
Uh oh. Neil Breen on 4BC just going on about how Qld needs to get vaccination rate higher as 35% not triple vaxxed. He is quadruple jabbed himself so clearly the propaganda worked on him.

If its mode of action was equivalent to B3 why bother taking it instead of boosting B3? I don’t know what is going on metabolome wise. The results are conflicting. My view is that the cancer problem occurs for those with micro-tumours(over 60 years of age not that uncommon) and\or precancerous cells. I’ve seen like results with beta-carotene and NAC, both shown to promote cancer development.
The effect of those two was particularly prominent for smokers\former smokers.

‘Lysa’, through its Latin cognate ‘lyse’ meaning of ‘by rupturing’ or ‘by breaking away’, likely propelled Auto-corrupt into a loop whereby it ‘lysed’ the ‘lyse’, or tore the Lysa- from Lysander.
I know. You would think they could write software that did not confuse the parts of names with Classical Latin, and from their Hellenistic Greek origins. People who write code are so uncultured.
Lysander I’d wait to have the MRI and see what the prognosis is. Take care mate. Did the doc give you any idea what you can do in the mean time.
Oh, poor Monty.
97.3% of the Boy Cats have a secret quality which you will never know: a rollicking sense of humour.

I adore (most of) them.

Hey Cats
advice needed.
From your entry, it’s not clear what you’re referring to.. screening blood tests and MRIs usually measure different disease clusters, with different prognoses and treatment outcomes.
Heart disease is not measured by MR imaging..
I agree with other commenters overall.
However, best to know what you’re dealing with first. Understand and plan the treatment/cure trajectory before telling others, thus avoiding unnecessary anxiety.
If you need further info, please ask Dover for my email.
Yeah I dunno, there’s only so much faux-ironic “actually women should make me a sammich (wink wink)” that a person can stand. After a while it ceases to be funny.

You gotta laugh. The real problem though is the sheeple. Biden cheated on a grand scale. There is cheating here but not on the same scale. Steve Hilton and Tulsi also talk about the idiocy of the GOP; cocaine mitch spending the most in any election on propping up Murkowski against Kelly Tshibaka. Kelly is a looker while murkowski looks like fricasseed version of pelosi. The point is naturally conservative women are attractive; leftie bitches be ugly in and out.
I noticed the $40 million donation to the Democrats was quietly glossed over.

At least, tell your wife. Together you can decide whether to tell the children and friends.
It’s no secret that I love my Best Man, husband of almost 53 years. He is extraordinary: wise, capable, educated and funny. And we share everything… except, he will never tell me when he is sick or injured. To spare me any worry, he insists. Ha!
One day several years ago, I returned from a pleasant (but unsuccessful) afternoon fishing off the Portland breakwater to find BM staggering about, flushed with raging fever. “I think,” he began lamely, “I have a needle stuck in my chest.”
Much spluttering from me, then, “How long has it been there?”
“About three weeks. I didn’t want to worry you, but now…”
He ended up in the excellent Portland hospital with staff congregating around his x-rays, enjoying the unusual sight of a four inch needle lodged firmly across the centre of his chest.
The point of this rambling anecdote is to impress the importance of telling your partner about any health issues as they arise. It’s much more traumatic for everyone to find out in an emergency situation.
How did the needle get there? Well, that’s quite a story in itself.
I think there’s roughy 180k votes to be counted. Lake is 26,000 behind.
The breakeven is: 180,000 – 26,000 = 154,000/2 = 77,000 + 26,000 = 103,000/180,000 = 57%
Lake needs to win 57% of the votes to breakeven. Why is that too difficult?
Tell us what you really think of him, Cronkite. Don’t sweeten it up.
Will be thinking of you and your tests Lysander.
One World Government numbering each member of the herd?
Lysander,
Tell exactly, and only, those who you need to tell in order to get the tests and final prognosis completed in a timely and efficient manner.
After that’s done, if it’s still necessary, announce it to the rest and personally thank those who helped you through the investigation stage.
Then the work begins.
The inevitable questions, when you have no answers, helps no one, especially yourself.
Best of luck. I feel your pain.
Thanks Rosie and Mater and fellow Cats – you’re all (mostly) lovely.

” If numerals are accepted in that crossword, then 2axes is a possibility.” would that be pick-axe or battle-axe
It is interesting how advice differs from person to person. The advice we give is a window on ourselves and it’s lovely to see how different people relate to their world and how kindly it is.
It makes me like them very much indeed.
oops, sorry Salvatore, should have read back before posting.
Yes best wishes Lysander. Think positive and stay strong.
Lysander, from experience I would wait to tell most until you have some answers. Loved ones need answers as you will also while you process the news. Your faith will be a big help. Prayers for you.
Sheesh, that escalated quickly.

So it’s Inala then. Not Broad Beach, Wide Bay, Large Area, Swing Seat. Well I hope it’s a safe seat anyway.
LOL 2 decades. In geological time, not even a mouse fart. It’s meaningless.
My argument too. Lots of inconsistency in the CO2 levels to temperature and the geological record as well which points to something much neglected in climate science. The role of our star, the sun…
We just don’t know enough with not much more than 100 years of precise measurements. There new cycles in weather patterns being discovered all the time.
Second that one, Lysander.
Folks, we have to be reasonable about this. We’re about 1% of global GDP. We don’t factor in terms of shattering global consensus. We cannot go our own way with emissions as the large economies will begin to impose emissions tariffs on Australia or some other form work around. We’re hamstrung until either the US or the EU walks away from these emission objectives. You can’t blame the Borg if he’s holding onto the 2050 deal.
My money is on it be “thuh feelz”
Is this any guide: (nope)
Yep, scam being perpetrated upon employers.

They can shove such a policy up their clacker.
I do not & will not have a “family & domestic violence” policy.
Lack of a “Drug use & illegal drug” policy has got me into enough stoushes with the authorities.
With quite some relish I look forward to similar shirtfrontings over my lack of a “Family & Domestic violence” policy.
Yes, we can.
(Sounds like a slogan!)
Because it’s going to hollow out what’s left of Australia’s prosperity based on our competitive advantage over comparable economies.
And that’s the end of us.
Do people recall the bun fight Trump had with the Europeans when in 2017 he walked from the agreement? They threatened to impose emission tariffs on American exports and Trump told them he would impose those tariffs in reverse. We’re too small to make threats. You can’t really blame the bald headed borg for being reluctant to walk. You can see where is coming from by suggesting we nuke up and the rancid Liars Party lied about how expensive and dangerous nuke power is. We can’t do anything unless the GOP gets back into power in Pennsylvania Ave.
We can’t Roger as we’re too small. They would tariff us into the ground.
I’d like to see some flesh on those bones before I take him seriously.
Let’s see what the ground looks like after this northern winter.
What we could do is what the EU countries do, which is to lie and cheat about our emissions. In a couple of years we just tell them we’re down to 1980 emission levels and we’re all good on that score. Same as the Euroweenies do.

Donations should only be able to be made by natural persons and once over a certain amount in a defined period be disclosed in near real time like, say, 48 hours.
Isn’t it funny, I was going to refresh the page after doing some more work on the reno when I noticed I had spelt sure, shore. When I was typing I couldn’t think of any other way of spelling sure except shore. Now I must be getting older coz it didn’t look right but there you go.
YOU are the only dickless person around here whose side the menfolk aren’t on.
Look, this zero thing, gerbil warming bullshit is embedded in the Euroweenies’ DNA now. The elite don’t give a rats about the cold winter and if thousands of people die. In fact, it’s a religion and mass deaths is a cost worth absorbing to these fucking morons. The only hope around this is that Trump or a Trump-like figure wins in 24 and tells the Euros to fuck off… again.
Wife talking to ex work colleague today. She wondered why she hadn’t seen her for a long time. Been in hospital for 7 months with phizer side effects that no one wants to talk about. She hopes to recover.
Genius on twitter. One of Cassie’s favorite gals.
Dan Andrews rushing through experimental mandatory stair vaccine. If it saves just one vertebrae….
Just listening to an interview of Senator Rennick.
He says that at next Federal election it is likely that he will in effect be running against Malcolm Roberts and both unlikely to make it. That is not good news as both are very good candidates and need both of them.
Thousands of vaccine injuries, hardly anyone compensated – Senate Estimates 9.11.22
Senator Gerard Rennick
And a bicycle vaccine?
If it saves one duco scratch…
Allegs wiki
Okay, so she scored highly VCE and went to Cambridge where she did an MA with a specialty in economics. That most likely was political economy, which is claytons economics. It’s basically leftwing, Keynesian crapola.
I wonder how long she was a McKinsey’s. The CV gets a little murky after that because she then began working for ma’s fashion label.
That Suspender belt tweet looks like it was written by a precocious year 4 girl.
Of course she was. I know how these things work.
She’s kinda pleasant looking in a girl next door sort of way.
I wonder how long she was in Kenya. And exactly where.
She sounds like little Miss Goody Two-Shoes.
“Consider the average intelligence of the common man, then realize 50% are even stupider.” ~ Mark Twain
She hopped in and kicked monty’s arse.
Pretty impressive when you think about it.
To be expected though.
Mind you, a UAI of 99.95 plus the duties of head girl/prefect is pretty impressive. Very, very difficult to game that.
Nobody’s going to say it? Nobody?
Allll righty then…..
PHRASING.
Crypto is digital magic beans.
This Sam Bankman-Fried of the crypto firm FTX is a piece of work; he supported every woke issue including alarmism and the emorats and just before his junk firm went Chp 11 he transferred $10 billion of customer funds to his own personal account, which has now partially disappeared.
We had a young girl working at the family business for just short of a year. She’d scored something like 99.6, was great in a particular field of sport and was accepted into Stamford on a scholarship. This kid was really really smart. She would pick up stuff at lightening speed. She was also a gerbil warming zealot. No matter what was explained about trade offs, costs and it wasn’t a given costs would outweigh the benefits, she couldn’t conceive anything else. The kids and a disturbing number of adults are wedded to this bullshit and there’s little that can be done in the short term.
Yet another totally normal unexpected death:
Heather Anderson, Adelaide Crows AFLW premiership player, dies aged 28
No links to Lifeline etc in the article, so it wasn’t that.
You know Calli, there’s book smart intelligence and the gut raw type that is able to analyze something and then arrive at an analytical conclusion.
I reckon the best way to describe it is say the equivalent of corporate intelligence.. someone who would do well in a large corp and there’s entrepreneurial intelligence.. someone who would be terrible in a corp environment while excelling at entrepreneurship.
It just intrigues me that, at 44 or whatever she is, her UAI is important enough to put in a Wiki.
Sure, it’s a great achievement. So was mine and not far behind hers, but I’m just a carpenter’s daughter, heavily pregnant at exam time and I went through TAFE. In the end it’s meaningless. It’s what you do afterwards that counts.
And maybe being the Member for Wentworth is what counts.
Latest news: Dan Andrews uses special legislative powers to push through high powered semi automatic stair ban.
Send her links to Beenstock, Polder & Riegenwertz.
…and Kirk Sorensen.
(Contegration shows AGW is at least only half as bad as models make out, and there is a better way than PV solar and pinwheels).
sorry OCO but her dad says otherwise
Via reddit, someone else mentioned she committed suicide at a military barracks, dad’s post is apparently up at the Aflw Facebook page
I bet the first thing the vaxx fanatics think when they learn of yet another strange incidence of an otherwise healthy young person suddenly dropping dead is ‘those anti-vaxxers are going to use this to sell their anti-science agenda’.
I don’t need to sell anything. This shit sells itself.
Choked on carpet?
“Spender attended Ascham School where she was head girl,[1] and achieved a UAI of 99.95. She then completed a MA in economics from the University of Cambridge, where she was at Trinity College.[2][3]”
Of course, of course, every girl who attends Ascham achieves a UAI of 99.5. Princess Allegra da Big Spenda speaks Ascham babble and her whole existence is framed by Ascham and the eastern suburbs. She knows nothing of anywhere else and she doesn’t want to know anything. I know the Ascham babble well, I had a few female relatives who also attended Ascham and they all speak in the same way as Allegra and they all view the world just like Allegra does, which means the world stops at Pyrmont to the west and Sydney International Airport to the south.
I was quite amazed to see Allegra’s female spruikers outside Paddo markets last Saturday, the federal election is two and a half years away. Maybe she sent them there because she’d had a bad week because the MSM finally exposed her for those HUGE donations she received. Anyway, as I said to the three female Teals spruiking for Allegra outside the markets last Saturday, when they asked me if I had anything to say to Allegra, I said yes….”tell her she’s a waste of space”. They didn’t like it very much, I wonder if they passed it on?
…awful lot of suicides and congenital heart defects that never existed before.
…and myocarditis going up, but having nothing at all to do with it.
It’s a Scooby Doo mystery.
So many better beaches in the beaches ‘brah and also at Garie.
Sad.
Rosie, the way that information is presented doesn’t raise questions for you? Kind of sketchy.
Incidentally,regarding your earlier post about the cause of death of the 38yo MMA fighter, well…death by the relatively sudden onset of a severe auto-immune disorder doesn’t really dispel any suspicions.
Monkeypox claims another victim. Rack ’em up, Mr Reaper.
Is UAI the equivalent of VCE in Victoria?
