For what sort of toots could I use hashtags like #ActuallyAutistic or the previous two I just used?
I Toot quite a bit about me and my quirky way life. But I never really know if I "should" add any ND hashtags as the "silly" things I Toot about are quite normal to me. If that makes sense ๐ค...
I'm proud enough, these days, of who I am. But I wonder if and when it would be good to add some of these tags... Maybe it could help connect with other peeps like me ๐.
Busy morning! Again ๐ but... I blame Arwen this time ๐.
We had the early SniffBook walkies. But she already wanted a buggy walk...
Our friend and their dog will join us for a walk around 8. But we probably won't be able to do the water walk...
Sooooo in order to keep my gall happy, I'm gonna squeeze in buggy walkies as well. If all goes well, we'll have an hour rest then before the next walk ๐.
Which means we'll head to the shed soon and start our way...
If the weather gets worse throughout the day, she should be good enough with short walks I hope...
Sooooo, let's hit the loo and then get Arwen and myself ready for the buggy walk. I guess I'll get my steps in again today... ๐
I'd like some advice please!!
Regarding: Google Chromecast TV (HD).
Mum has my old small TV in her hobby room. It has Netflix but that's it. I'd like her to be able to use more steaming services on it, without her needing to use her phone (she's not that tech savvy).
So I found the Chromecast with TV support, and it said you don't need a phone for it. The TV is HD so we don't need the expensive version...
But is it really easy to use???
Do I just extter all the info in the stream service apps that she has and then the box will make sure she can watch them all??? Can it really be that easy???
Please do let me know... ๐
Her bday is coming up and I'd love to get this for her if it really works that simple...
Arwen wanted a longer walk and now we're home a bit before we should go out for last walkies. ๐
So I guess I'll change the alarm and just get up a little earlier. She's kinda tired from the longer walk, and I'm tired from the chores and some gaming...
Wishing you all a fantastic (rest of the) day! ๐ธ
I'll catch up with all again when I've had my beauty sleep. ๐ด
Does anyone have any experience with (affordable) homeopathic supplements for older dogs?
Arwen starts to struggle a bit more with walkies. And we do have the buggy, but she also still loves to walk on her own, and we can't always take the buggy...
I've been using the mighty Duck to seek out if there is anything that could help her.
I did find one thing, which got a few amount of good reviews from users.
But seeing it's not very cheap, I was wondering if any of my Friendos have any experience to share.
I'm willing to try the one I found once I have some money again to order it. It it could help her to enjoy the walkies more again... She's definitely worth it ๐
Ugh... Drizzle again...
It's not enough to call it rain. But it's annoying enough to need an umbrella to keep my headphones and glasses dry.
Rain is annoying, but drizzle (IMHO) is worse. Drizzle seems to get everywhere and I always feel silly with my umbrella...
But I don't want it to ruin my headphones.
So onwards with Arwen's walkies we go. Hopefully the drizzle will did off soon. (for dry weather, not for more rain ๐)
Heya @dansup
I love your work on Pixelfed. ๐
I was wondering how the location tags are made as sometimes I want to add a place and it doesn't know it. Is there a way to add locations to images that the app/site don't know yet? Or a way to "teach" it new places?
I now try to find the nearest place (granted some places I've been were rather small), but it would be nice to tag the actual place to the image.
Thanks again for the hard work! Looking forward to the new app release. ๐๐ป
@apps
Heya! Ever since the last update (I participate in the beta program), my app often crashes when I want to open toots to read them before replying....
It just closes the Toot and switches back to the main time line.
My phone warned me that it is a crash happening again and again.
Running version 3.28.2 (515) according to the last release notes (screenshot attached).
Hopefully this bug can be fixed in a next update! ๐
Of course I should also mention my night time ladies! @Cbfoley for alllll the chats (and being stubborn Taures'ess together) @si_irini for loads of chats as well!
You two get me through many nights ๐ค
Special mention without a tag for reasons goes to Fi! Keep on stitchin' ๐
Hope I didn't forget anyone! Have a good Friday folks!
I just saw a whole load of likes from @si_irini on my #Pixelfed pics and it made me very happy! ๐
I don't need loads of likes but... I do love it when people enjoy my images enough to leave them a nice ๐.
Owwww I've shared a lot of images on #Pixelfed this morning and some of them are doing really well. An older one of Arwen, happy to hear we're going on walkies, is very popular.
I've never been popular on IG. So it's quite nice to see Arwen being loved so much on Pixelfed. Really enjoying the platform a lot!
I'll find the picture in a moment and I'll boost it here too. ๐
Also been sharing older pictures and AI. And of course my daily gym selfie ๐คณ๐ผ
Hope you're all having a good day! ๐ธ
Owwww I forgot! I asked before, but I'll ask again now ๐
If any of my Masto friends here has a Pixelfed account as well, please let me know the handle so I can check it out.
I can't promise to follow everyone but if I like what I see, I'll definitely drop a follow. I need more pictures to browse on the Pixelfed side of the Fedi ๐
Soooooo I generally dislike calls with anyone that I don't know well enough.
I prefer email. Texts. Or... Even a voicemail if someone does call, so I know what it's about.
I've asked people to use my voicemail. I've told people I prefer email. And still, some people keep calling me... And if I'm brave enough to call back (when there is a number), it's often those I ASKED to use email or leave a voice mail if urgent.
Why do people think it's ok to just call for everything? I have to list a phone number. It doesn't mean I can actually make decent phone calls.
I hate them with people I don't know well enough. ๐ Ugh and the I get missed calls from blocked numbers. Also not leaving a voicemail. ๐ If I don't answet with a number, I will definitely ignore when there is none...
@RickiTarr
Same! I prefer email, I will always reply to important ones ASAP. But I get such anxiety when unknown numbers call me and then not leave a voice mail... Or when you do decide to call back, you get theirs without any name or anything, so you still don't know who it was.... ๐ I have to leave phone numbers and email everywhere. But they just keep calling ๐
#today I've been very busy! Mostly helping my mum. She never really asks for a lot of help, as she's as stubborn as me and prefers to do things on her own when she can...
So when she asked, I helped. When she needed something more, I helped. And I enjoyed it, even though it messed a bit with my routine.
Knowing she asked me means loads so I did all I could to help as well as I could. ๐
I do hope that Arwen and I will have several more years together...
She turns 11 this year... ๐
My previous Lab gall, Chance, made it to 12. So a small fear in me says this could be the last year together... It scares me a bit. ๐
I know I should not think of this. But life is fragile. And my brain is fighting the dark monster, which allows thoughts like these.
I hope Arwen will grow old and stay healthy for several more years to come...
I hope she gets to enjoy our new place in several months time.
No more stairs and a small garden. ๐
Happy thoughts Pixy, happy ones...
@Rasta
Labs are amazing! I fell in love with a chocolate lab of a coworker at the time and the first dog I got then, after my old one passed away, was a chocolate lab. This is my second lab and I love her to bits! And I'm very sure... After Arwen has left me on my own again... I'll go chocolate again. ๐
Owww maybe some day you can go rural and get that lab ๐
@PixysJourney Found a chocolate lab once, running loose. Got hold of it, it was missing a paw (animal services thought he was tied in a truck, and jumped and was dragged at one time, wearing off the paw) the paw was healed, he had no pain (now) and was very loveable but we just found him, we weren't looking for a dog. The SPCA came to pick him up, they opened the cage and he jumped right in. He'd been in one before. No one wanted the cripple it seemed. I did, but we couldn't
