Mostly lurking. United States southerner, gay, working retail. An amazing combination
No you’re good, I was just appreciating how outrageous it was
Great advice to someone who can barely have a cat
I’d like to, I guess I’m concerned about the logistics. I know you’re supposed to keep them separate for a while, which means one cat has to be stuck in a single room while I work out of town. And if they never fully warmed up, I’m afraid it would just be a ton of stress on the other cat if I had to send them back to the shelter.
I’ll probably save up some PTO before I try it, so I can be home and make neither of the cats are being neglected during the process.
In my case, it’s not exactly like an outline, it’s just… I can’t describe it because I can’t actually focus on it, it’s like a cross between a picture and a notion. But somehow, in the lineup, the outline seems like the most accurate level of detail.
Also color is absent for me, don’t know about for others.
I don’t think there’s a lot of research on it, but it’s a way to measure aphantasia, the inability to picture something in your mind. I’m a 4 and didn’t actually know anything higher existed until I started talking to other artists.
That’s a great idea, thank you! I just got her comfortable climbing onto her window bed yesterday :)
I’m so glad you got him back!!
I just meant I wouldn’t be able to supervise her. She’s an older cat and I can usually corral her, but that prey drive will have her climbing places I can’t dream of chasing her.
Nah, I should have mentioned I’m on a second story apartment now.
It’s funny, I was ALWAYS taught to say please growing up, but as an adult I only hear it in more formal settings, or from older folks. I think people realized that tone and body language also show that you’re trying to be pleasant and not bossy, and dropped the habit of saying it.
I’m sure it’s regional, though, and I’m only speaking for one small chunk of the US.
Counterpoint: human sinners’ sweat and tears make hell so humid that SpongeBob doesn’t feel a thing.
SpongeBob seems to have a good relationship with his dad, that probably gives him an edge
I know three people whose lung capacity seems to be permanently diminished from COVID, and one of them has chronic chest pain now. He was in his 20s when he caught it. I don’t know any other common virus that does that.
Glad your cat is OK! Good on you for making sure he gets the care he needs.
You quoted the part where they said most people, but you’re replying as if they said most parents.
Anyway, you’d hope people who don’t know all that would learn better after the kid comes out, but I know some people don’t. I can name two off the top of my head.
I’m sorry, that sounds miserable.
Moving delayed again due to weather. Also honestly I’m not sure why family keeps offering to help me move. Their vehicle has cargo space, sure, but it’s one vehicle between five adults, and very few of them know how to drive so that really limits when it’s actually available for me to borrow.
They’re just gonna have to evict me and throw all my shit down the stairs and break it like they do with my neighbors.
Had to cancel an art collab I’ll never have another chance to do, because I live in one apartment and my computer is in the other.
Skin infection isn’t going away but my insurance rejects every test I get, so I’m done trying.
Had either COVID or the flu, but it was the week of a major US holiday and they were disciplining people for calling out, so I worked all week. Got publicly shamed for my terrible metrics while I was too phlegmy to speak.
Basically, next week HAS to be good.
ETA at least I’m back at the gym, although I feel terrible after being out for two weeks. I was so sick I was just working and sleeping for a while.
Keychain on my belt loop, plus mace.
Phone and wallet in back pockets, utility knife and earbuds in side pockets.
Other stuff I need frequently like bug spray, sunblock, power bank, extra sketchbook and selfie stick (not necessarily for selfies, I just like photography) are in a backpack in my passenger seat.
That’s reassuring, thank you. I actually have plenty of extra toys because I learned it’s slightly cheaper to add extra cat toys to my order and get free shipping whenever I refill my kitty’s flea medication
