[Request] Looking for someone in Australia to buy a plush rabbit from Miniso for me and ship it to USA. I will pay for all costs.

My girlfriend absolutely loves this plush rabbit we found at a Miniso in the US. It's beige in color.

It seems that Miniso also makes a pink version of it which I know she would also love, but none of the locations I've called in the US have it nor do they seem to ship. I see it as in stock on Miniso's Australian website : https://miniso-au.com/en-au/product/62401/lovely-sitting-rabbit-plush-toy-pink#

I would gladly pay for the cost of the item itself and shipping if anyone is willing to take the time to go to the store, buy the item, and ship it.

[WP] You find out that alien abductions actually happen. Also, aliens have been abandoning humans on strange planets when they realize how much work they are to raise - and like rabbits in Australia, humans have adapted.

The red-haired woman before me was stunning. Looking at her took my breath away – in a very real sense. It wasn't the little things, like the seven fingers on each hand. No, I was more intrigued by more noteworthy aspects of her appearance. For example, someone seemed to have transposed her mouth and her eyes. Her skin was lumpy. Some sort of dark-orange seepage was leaking from her ears. And, of course, the chin-nipple. Which was exactly what it sounds like.

I had been on the couch. I had been watching sports and drinking beer and eating chips. And now I was...where was I? What was happening?

Her mouth parted into a smile and I realized that it also seemed to be upside-down, or at least what looked like her top teeth were in the bottom and, where the roof of her mouth should have been, her tongue was visible.

"A hand raised in greeting, fellow human!" she screamed. I flinched. The white room in which we found ourselves had been, til now, completely silent. I wasn't sure why she --

"Let us bare our teeth at each other as a primitive method of communicating emotion!" I had never seen an expression I thought could be called a rictus before now. Definitely not something that will haunt my dreams.

"Could you maybe speak a little more quiet -- "

A voice came into the room from a speaker in the corner:

###ENGAGE MATING CALL###

"Um, could we..."

"My reproductive parts ooze for you, for you are a unspecified and I am a unspecified. Let us connect our digestive systems such that we may cross-contaminate each other's oral cavities with countless varieties of bacteria!"

She advanced on me, tongue protruding from her forehead. I pulled back until I felt something solid. I knew it was a wall but I looked over my shoulder anyway just to make sure.

When I looked back at the "woman," she had a large needle in her hand. "This will not activate your pain receptors much!"

"What the fuck is happening!" I shouted. "Why aren't I --"

The needle slipped into my eye like a toothpick through an olive. My vision exploded with flares of color and then everything went black.


"We are here, fellow human and sometime mate!"

I sat up, opened my eyes, and decided a moment later it was one of the worst decisions of my life.

I had been dropped into a day-glow nightmare. I've seen children's shows with less aggressive color palettes. Fluorescents and pastels were a backdrop for swaths of primary colors, blood reds and canary yellows.

I averted my eyes, st

Growing a rabbit friendly garden in ACT Australia.

Hi all! I am trying to grow a continuous rabbit feast for Leo the Rabbit. In a few weeks I'll hopefully have seedlings for basil, pumpkins, parsley, cress, snow peas and garden peas, and sunflowers. I'm trying to grow as much as I can in pots, because we live in a rental. I am finding it hard to get plants to maturity before a certain someone decimated them, and if I try and keep them out of reach the harsh sun cooks them before LtR gets them. Any suggestions for sun And heat tolerant plants that rabbits can eat?

Suggestion: Rabbit Proof Fence (2002) Australia's history separating aboriginal kids from their families for the sake of the race's 'betterment' explored by the director of Patriot Games, Quiet American and The Giver

Drama. Australia. Three mixed-race girls are torn brutally from their Aboriginal mother and sent over a thousand miles away to a training camp for domestic workers as part of a government policy to integrate them into white society. Linking the camp and their distant home territory is a vast rabbit-proof fence, which stretches from one coast to another and just might help the girls find their way back.

Australia to release rabbit virus to reduce their population.

This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 64%.


> Farmers and environmental groups have received the necessary kits for next week's rabbit virus release, with the rollout of the RHDV-K5 Korean strain of the calicivirus set to begin from March 1.RHDV1: escaped from quarantine on Wardang Island, SA in 1995, and officially released following year.

> The researchers expect this newest biological control will reduce the overall rabbit population by about 20 per cent.

> She said the virus was expected to be more successful at eradicating rabbits in the cool, wet regions of the country - the districts where the original calicivirus released in 1996, did not work so well.

> Land managers in many regions have been doing spotlight rabbit counts so they can compare rabbit populations before and after the virus release.

> In the week following the release, land managers will be required to check for dead rabbits, take tissue samples to be analysed for cause of death, and log some of their results on a new mobile app called Rabbit Scan.

> Owners of pet and show rabbits have been urged to vaccinate their animals as the current vaccine administered by vets is said to protect most rabbits against K5. There is no vaccine available in Australia for the RHDV2.

Stopping his car he got out to check if it was okay.

In a stroke of good fortune the rabbit was still alive, just.

The man went into the church to see if there was anyone who could help him.

A kindly Priest saw the man and offered to help. He asked the Mab to wait a moment while he got something that might help...

... After a few moments the Priest returned with a small flask and poured the contents on the rabbit. Which hopped up right as rain!

The rabbit waved to the man, and crossed the road.

After crossing the road the rabbit turned around an waved again. After a few hops the rabbit turned around and waved again. This continued until the man could no longer see the rabbit. A few hops, turn and wave.

When the man turned back to the kindly Priest and asked him, "What was in that bottle anyway, Holy water?"

The Priest replied, "oh nothing like that. It was haer restore, with a permanent wave."
