He is not food or treat motivated, but his tail has started to wag when we call his name and give him pets.
I think this is going to work out for all of us! ❤️ 3/3

But in the 2 weeks he’s been with us, he has slowly warmed up to living in a house, being able to roll around in the grass whenever he wants, learning that the cat demands kibble tribute but doesn’t want to roughhouse. He (mostly) comes when called, but doesn’t like to go through doorways. 2/

@cathycoley.bsky.social can vouch for me!

Is it me? We know each other from the SR reflector. I try to keep my socials locked down because I didn’t want my students or parents being able to find me.

What do you mean, “we”?
For years, I had half my middle school students seriously questioning whether I was human.

Mini shell pasta, chopped veggies (must have onions! But celery, carrots, halved cherry tomatoes are nice if you have them.). Make the dressing w mayo, salt, pepper, sugar, and a splash of vinegar. Add half a bag of frozen peas. You can add shredded cheese if you’re feeling fancy.

Same! I was 4, mom was carrying baby sis as we were running late thru LaGuardia in the 1970s when the escalator tried to eat me. Trauma to this day! (We did make the flight, barely.)

This offer is only open to billionaires, right?

After 27 years in the classroom, I retired in December 2023. My dr said it was the best thing I could have done for my health—blood pressure, stress, anxiety, kidney disease, depression, weight all improved within 3 mos. And the profession has only gotten more challenging in Texas since then.

Of course it’s from the US—it’s a giant jacked up truck.

“I don’t look good in prison orange” has helped me make a lot of good choices in my life.

So dead beat dads who owe child support are allowed to stiff their own children, but banks who charge usurious interest on student loans must be protected by the government? Have I got that right—f*** them kids?

Looks like a sprinkler head broke off in the current pic. Maybe that’s why no one is smiling.

Not that I’m suggesting anything, but drizzling a little adhesive like Elmer’s glue or rubber cement or super glue on the shell before tossing it would make the swasticar look more…festive.

The rainbow bridge poem gets me every time. As a fellow agnostic, I find it comforting. And as I told my daughter, the grief of loss is the price of love, and it’s absolutely worth it.

Not a Golden, but my doggo Atlas had an amazing knowledge lump. Sadly, cancer took him from us two days ago.

Must be genetic. We, too, have an orange cat. Her original name was Princess Buttercup -> Buttercup -> Fluffy Cat -> Monster.

I believe you! I wonder if the fact that I’m in Texas, a state not known for their strong support of women’s rights, is a factor in the price difference?

Wow! I paid $50 per box last August to send off to college with my daughter.

It may be a generational thing—when did you serve? My dad signed up in the mid-1960s, so the switch during the Bush years makes sense to me.

My father served 20 yrs then another 20 as a civvie, & I never, ever heard anyone refer to members of the military as “warfighters”. Peacekeepers, yes. I learned early that soldiers protect our country & help keep peace worldwide as their primary missions. Warcraft was always secondary.

Cursed Cruz strikes again. Can’t we get him banned from meaningful games like this one?

Getting a passport is an expensive and time consuming process that is out of reach for many poor and rural Americans, not to mention the DOGE cuts that have slowed down the federal ability to process applications. The SAVE Act is essentially a poll tax.

Potsdam, where his dairy farm is, is in New York. I wasn’t able to read the entire article. So he’s a Canadian national who lives and works in the US? For his own safety and sanity, he should consider moving back home, an idea I hate bc that’s precisely what Trump wants.

I wonder how he voted? Not out of schadenfreude, but because he thought it was illegal for the tariffs to be passed on to him, despite media repeatedly stating tariffs result in higher costs to consumers. Low information voters…

All his DOGE actions support this belief. Cutting Medicare, Medicaid, & Social Security is today’s Nazi’s version of the Final Solution that gets rid of the poor, sick, elderly—IOW, anyone no longer able to work & make money for the oligarch masters. To the oligarchs, this is a feature, not a flaw.

And it’s not just money. Most countries won’t allow disabled people to immigrate, so those people and their families—like mine—are left here to keep fighting the good fight.
