And though you are not sentient, Spot, and do not comprehend, I nonetheless consider you a true and valued friend.
I never realized they were a breed till we got one. He’s so different than his “brothers and sisters” -no realtions, but we got 5 currently. Started looking up his description to see if others had anything similar, like the orange one brain cell boys or something. Found out i had a Nebelung.
It’s all about the he says she says bullshit.
It’s always the 10!
I keep one in my center console, my keychain, and random cheapies mixed in around loose tools, on top of whatever is part of the sets. Periodically we’ll still have a hard time finding one when its needed and have to replenish.
Are they hanging out with the lost socks?
How can I be sooo disgusted by human feet yet want to tickle little toe beans so badly.
We have an orange cat that I threaten to tickle his toe hairs all the time (his toes splay out when you get them and he gets all feisty, yet gentle playing, i know he really loves it). If I heard someone talking like that over a person’s feet, I’d prob get a lil sick. Even knowing full well what they walk through, I’ll take cat tootsies over human ones all day.
He’s still got millions, so it’s not that bad.
Except the fact that his “down to millions” is a setback and not a planned reinvestment in the economy or something.
mumble mumble…“trickle down”… mumble …My ass…
So glad you were there at that moment for those dogs. That story had me on the edge of my seat in distress for a moment!
I know this is hours later now but, as I am just now reading through winding down for my night, this is what I’m watching!
It’s ok, we understand here. This is your safe space. If we’re going to be damned, let’s be damned for what we really are.
Piping in with some odd history info. They were originally made to give theater patrons something to watch while the main film was re-wound. Theaters used to play the same movie on repeat all day until they got a new film, then it was that movie all day. There were no “move times”. If you showed up midway you just stayed until it repeated so you could catch the beginning. Also why news reels and other visual media would get played.
Psycho made the change to set times. Hitchcock did not want anyone to accidentally see the end without starting from the beginning. Shortly after that those movie trailers got bastardized into the ads we now know them as.
Cat tax
Never leave them alone together and it should be OK. We had an adult who was just a little funny in the head. Big super fluffy orange tabby. We had a small candle in the middle of our coffee table burning. Somehow, this crazy head decided it would then be good, while we were watching a movie, to do his most acrobatic love stretches around our legs and the coffee table. As we tried to push him away from the table a little his tail was moving around like a little periscope, or feeler, or something… next thing we knew, as he finally did move away, there was a little perfect tiny flame on the very tippy tips of his tail hair as he ran off. Of course I jumped forward to put him out, which he thought was a chase game and took off. I was young and able to dive and tackle him to make sure he didn’t burst into flames or something. Just a couple burnt hairs, gross smell, and lost trust with me for the next day or so because of the tackle. He was super “special” his whole life and did things none of our other cats have. But, it put me on guard for the possibilities that exist and I’m super cautious with flames and fur going forward.
I haven’t been to any outside the US, and admittedly not that many in, with how many there are. So far The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix has been one of the most interesting to me and I didn’t see it all by far. There is a “petting zoo” downstairs with a selection of instruments you can play too! It was crazy satisfying to bang a big gong.
Oh wow! The places they deem fit to try and cut corners. My manager at that hotel spent some time stuck in one our elevators after he"fixed" it himself and then had to have Otis come out.
Thankfully never, not sure how I would have recovered from that one! Did catch it pretending it was on fire a few times. It was alerting the local FD our alarms were triggered when on site, it was quiet an no burning was going on. They called a couple different times about it and even showed up once… in case I was lying? Bet safe than sorry I guess.
Might check into hotel reception too. I worked nights at one, and my main duty was making sure the building didn’t catch fire or disappear while waiting to do the audit and start morning coffee before I left.
Thanks! Some good info to know, when I go to try them!
Charcuterie’s are are always a win, especially with a bonus peanut butter sandwich!
Love that face!!
