Amazing!

Fast and the Furious.

But then how much time have you saved not having to receipt the receipts.

And the non kitten fellows! We wanted a third cat after adopting two kittens years ago. We were so over the erratic nature combined with the roll the dice luck of whether they were floor pissers, plant eaters, etc, so we decided to look for adult cats. The only one the shelter had was this mongy manky stray who was estimated to be 5 years old. When we went in the adoption room with her, she looked at us and did a massive wet shit that made us all evacuate the room. Her adoption photos make her look mangy, aloof, old, dirty, and distant, not to mention smelly.

Later, when the poo particles had settled, we went back in and picked her up. She sank into my arms and I just knew… I cried and couldn’t bear to let her go.

Four years on, her shaggy fur has became soft, her distant eyes started slow blinking and showing emotion, her little frame filled out and she became an absolute hellhound for dinner time. When you walk in the door, no matter who you are (literally, you could be a burglar), she will run up to you and do this silent meow asking to be picked up. When you hold her, she purrs so much her body shakes and she drools until her face is dripping. She will climb into bed and play little spoon at night, and she loves laps all times of the day.

We’ve had her 4 years and she no longer does wet shits, but is the same loving cat that melted when someone held her and showed her love. She converted me to older cats.

Pls fact check me: when I was a kid hiking with my parents, we passed a guy on the trail who was bleeding profusely from his finger. We asked if he was ok and he reassured us his car with first aid kit was just down the trail, and we asked what happened and he said he got bitten by a ladybug. This shocked me as I played with them all the time and considered them harmless, so I said something to that effect and he told me they rarely bite, but do have massive powerful jaws. I think he was off his rocker, but it’s always made me slightly apprehensive of the cute little bug guys.

Oh darn and I was just about to

It actually has an Instagram handle barely visible on the top poster and it works. I think this is real.

For a little while ours was used for this. Covid too. Client was under an alias and wasn’t with us long so no idea.

Is this the Britney/Kristen Stewart mashup I need?

I’ve been keeping my mind busy, learning actionable skills and survival stuff. I am learning foraging, growing food, I’ve made a real decision to not reserve my happiness for retirement, as that day isn’t guaranteed but today is. I convert the worry into little reminders about how today is the most important time to do the thing. I live immediacy and radical self reliance. I recycle, upcycle, reuse, buy second hand, adopt, occasionally dumpster dive, and reduce my negative impact on the planet. I donate to charities that help people in crisis, so more people can enjoy today while they have it. Also, instead of anxious, I get high.

Thanks, appreciate it!

That was a great read!

After working overseas, I went travelling. I tried to book in at a popular hostel but it was booked up, and the second best one only had co-ed dorms. Booked into one of those and the dude in the room greeted me with “THIS ROOM IS FULL, MY FRIENDS ARE IN THOSE BUNKS, SORRY”. I went back to the desk to check and they told me two people left that morning. I went back and told him “your friends left you, I’m your friend now”. Later I bought beers and offered him one. We played cards. We eventually kissed a bit. I went home to the UK.

6 months later I saw a ridiculously cheap flight and booked it. Told him, and wasn’t sure he’d come meet me at the airport, but he was waiting at the bottom of the escalator. We spent two weeks together and it was magical. I flew home again and decided to return in the summer. For the next two years I flew back and forth until eventually we moved in. Six years later we married in the park where we took our first walk together. We posed for photos in the dorm where we met. This year we got tattoos, both with a little symbol to represent the room number.

I’d travel the world 600 times over to find him if I had to. At our wedding I talked about how saying yes to opportunities led me to him, and I still believe strongly in the power of yes. I love him so much.

Add it to the rules and I’ll do it. I’m not trying to create drama, but I am trying to warn against a moderation style that’ll kill this community before it’s taken off. Moderate based on established rules, and allow creativity to flourish.

That was my thought too. Hey if there’s a post format I’ll follow it, but there isn’t.

Ok I’m going to level with you now. I posted three things to a somewhat slow community. So far you’ve found issue with two of them, despite neither of the things you’ve suggested being rules in the side bar. As I said on my other post, this makes me not want to contribute - fuck me for helping, right?

Well, just so you know, this kind of moderator comment feels a bit fucky and makes me not want to interact here anymore.

Sorry, I’m confused what moderation rule this breaks.

Melon pees in the bath, Snuggles licks plastic bags, and Franny has chronic snot rockets. I love them all endlessly.

I just generally hate his face.
