@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 30/06/2026My poor son. He can’t get in to see an ophthalmologist for months. His optician prescribed erythromycin and it only helped a bit. His paediatrician tried oral antibiotics - didn’t work. But nobody knows what this is 😭 220
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 19/01/2026White House wants us to stand with ICE. Seems to me, we’re trying to - beside them, behind them, in front of them. But they keep trying to gas and shoot us. What else are protestors supposed to do?! 150
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 28/11/2025Thank you, Mandy. I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving! I had foot surgery a week ago so been working my way through the fun of that 🤣🤪. Not online…. Barely online mentally 🤪 030
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 06/11/2025Trump forgot to add a gold colored oval so the people who don’t read so well know what he is trying to say! 120
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 29/10/2025I read to some more sweet dogs today. I hope they get adopted quickly. 040
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 26/10/2025Ordered some fun tops yesterday. Looking forward to wearing them once they arrive!! 120
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 16/10/2025This resonated strongly with me in today’s America. (Excerpt from “The White Princess” by Philippa Gregory.) 020
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 08/10/2025I had my first solo Calming Canines shift at Animal Humane yesterday. These are two of the sweet babies I read to 😍 010
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 30/08/2025We puppysat this sweet girl in our home while her family was away for 10 days. That sweet face 😍 062
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 10/08/2025Awwww. That’s sad. My kitties are indoor only. My granny’s goat was torn to shreds by dogs, and later her cat. It’s for their protection and to protect other creatures against them as well. 110
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 26/07/2025Aside from my family and the beauty of New Zealand - this is what I miss the most. The food I grew up with. This is a Kiwi basic - mince pie and doughnut. I didn’t have them often, but they can be so damned delicious! 141
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 23/07/2025The US Government may have found a way to reduce student debt. If we don’t need the Department of Education, do we really all need expensive college degrees? Seems to me that the necessity of the first should dictate the importance of the second. Especially when there are so few jobs available 😎 000
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 20/07/2025The Golden Age? He’s no King Midas - it’s Fool’s Gold. Mixed with a huge dose of “destroying everything good about the US” 220
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 12/07/2025A Facebook post from The White House. Delusion runs rampant. 252
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Farewell, New Plymouth. A wonderful trip down memory lane. 030
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Our sweet Midnight has been a beloved family member for 10 years now. He was two years old when he joined our family. His previous owner had sadly gone into hospital never to leave. Midnight had been in the shelter for several months - passed over due to an existing heart murmur. Our win! 💕 050
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Beautiful Taranaki. Mt Taranaki (formerly Egmont) peeking out of the clouds. 031
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 08/06/2025@justamoderateguy.bsky.social Today was Cape Reinga- the very top of New Zealand. Absolutely beautiful. 030
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 28/05/2025My son came home and asked me to make pavlova for his class tomorrow as he said he would bring in a dessert from New Zealand. 🇳🇿 it’s not pretty. I rarely try make them as I have high altitude issues. But I try to be a good mum. Talk about last minute rush though! I had no eggs…. 5301
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 09/05/2025My other 13yo son has been doing FACS in 7th grade. So now, sitting on the floor by our cat bed, is a tie dyed, embroidered “blanket” along with his hand sewn cat and its pillow. He’s so cute. He wanted to make them for our cats. 010
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 04/05/2025@justamoderateguy.bsky.social I’m both the packing queen and tree hacking queen. 🤣🤪. Before… 010
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 29/04/2025I should not laugh. But I can’t help myself. A book I’m reading - but they missed the mark a bit here 🤣 4160
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Dang cat. He got my coffee before I could stop him. Now he knows what a scalded tongue feels like.. 030
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Ahhh. Yes. He has a brother named Handsome who is 13. Middie is nearly 12. 010
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 20/04/2025She’s beautiful!!! Reminds me of one of my current boys, Midnight!! 110
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 20/04/2025I do miss my Pierre! He popped up on my timeline today 💕 1170
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 20/04/2025My ASD boy at a math awards ceremony today. He is quirky and funny and neurotic but I wouldn’t change him for anyone or anything. 230
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 13/04/2025So my 13yo child is trying to cook for us now - this week it is buffalo chicken egg rolls. Don’t know how they taste yet … but incredibly proud of him!! 070
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 06/04/2025This is an official post from the White House account on Facebook. They are disgusting. 362
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Two males snoring next to me this morning 🤪. It’s only 10.30am! 050
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 04/04/2025I don’t think I have been missed much but I’ve been quiet the last few weeks. Illness has hit my family hard this year and the political idiocy affects my home. I’ve stayed quiet rather than take a deep dive into crazy - which would not be pretty. I miss the contact with so many of you though. 5491
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 16/03/2025Not sure who to credit for this. From an old newsletter. 031
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 16/03/2025@youranoncentral.bsky.social Look what has tried to style itself like you in FB - taken from a comment on the White House FB. 010
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 11/03/2025There is a video (this is just a screenshot) on The White House FB page. It’s kind of like a two year old who eats their boogers is managing this account. 051
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Elon Musk and Texas governor celebrate firing of worker over pronouns in email signature - The Guardian I stand with Zamora. 041
@lou_com1 @comlou.bsky.social · 07/03/2025In-house dramas are more fun than political ones! Twin B complained that Twin A got a knife from the kitchen and threatened him because Twin B used his hairbrush (B’s brush) to brush Midnight, and now Midnight is infected and Twin A can’t cuddle him any more. First world issues. Sigh. 380
