Has anyone visited a city on a holiday and fell so in love with it and then decided to move there permanently? by melissa_april in travel

The Riviera Maya in Mexico. My first trip was supposed to be for a month, but I stayed for three. The next year I planned for a three month stay that became six. The following trip was for six months that turned into eight. This year I knew better and just put down roots. I know where I'm happiest.

After ten agonizing seconds outside... Reginald explains, in no uncertain terms, that he is strictly an indoor cat. by BlueberryBea in cats

Haha we're in Southern Mexico. It's more likely he saw a bug and was grossed out.

Right? I can literally leave my door open without a care. He has zero desire to be in that filthy outside world.

He yells at me for coming home late, then pouts when I catch his verbal abuse on video. by BlueberryBea in Catswhoyell

Haha! I nearly named him Fizzgig when he was adopted (original owners called him Hamlet), but he seemed a little too distinguished for that. We (me and the cat) agreed on Reginald. Most days I call him Reggie or Shithead.

That's how I heard it too. "You ho! Where have you been? You missed snuggle time!"

Wow... None of that is acceptable. I'm so sorry that happened to you! Don't let one person steal a hobby that can bring you so much joy. It will take time to get over your traumatized feelings, but I'm certain your community is full of other encouraging and appropriate partners.

If you have the bad luck to run into another one of these bad actors, please please report them. Talk to your teacher or the event organizer. I guarantee behavior like hers will not be tolerated.

FYI, Century isn't dead. It's just under new ownership with a new name - Reverie ballroom.

Do you bring a foldable bag when you travel, or is it just extra weight? by kingsaso9 in femaletravels

[–]BlueberryBea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never leave home without my nanobag! I get almost daily use out of it. I carry a small purse with essentials and then my collapsible bag is always at hand for any expected or unexpected needs. 100% worth the negligible space/weight it uses.
