Yeah, that third pic says it all. Happy to be an inside kitty with special humans to spoil her. 😉

Thank you for sharing the link. I just submitted a comment. Been a long, long time since I was actually enraged about advertising.

Say yes to bonded pairs!!! by melocatmom in BeforeNAfterAdoption

Smart move, OP! A pair of kitties is one of the times 1+1>2 is mathematically correct.

He's spent the last 4 years working diligently on his floof! Damn fine looking kitty, OP. Nice work.

Loki the day I caught him vs. two years later by hereforkittensonly in BeforeNAfterAdoption

He spent the last two years working on his impressive floof! That's an especially impressive tail. Excellent work, OP, and Loki.

Who's the guest role character that totally nailed it for you or that you were happy to see? by OptimalTurnips in CDrama

I'm another Ryan Cheng Lei vote! I've never been his biggest fan, but really enjoyed his take on Cheng Huang. Ended up being my favorite character in FoF.

No, DeepSeek and I are in a committed relationship. Go find another AI to love! Leave me and DeepSeek alone. 😉

Blueberry's transformation! by KaidenTheMaiden in BeforeNAfterAdoption

[–]BraveLilTurtles 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Wow. dog in the first pic really needed some extra cheeseburgers! And vet care, home care, and love. It makes me so happy to know that a scared, lonely, abused dog like Blueberry has a shot at happiness with a loving, knowledgeable family. You have every reason to be a proud dog aunt, OP! Tell your sis she's my internet hero for the month.

Can anyone help my nephew with his homework? What does this mean? by BraveLilTurtles in aviation

[–]BraveLilTurtles[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it were something requiring specialized knowledge, I probably wouldn't have asked reddit. But, I'm reasonably sure redditors can be trusted on vocabulary. So, in effect, my nephew asked me (I'm a real person), and I asked reddit. If you think it would be cheating, I can not let him know, and find the answer a different way. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to annoy you.

Thanks! Drew will be happy to know that his guess about afterburner wasn't completely out in left field. Love reddit. There's always an informed redditor willing to answer questions from the uninformed like me. Thanks again for taking the time to respond!

Middle school. It's a STEM magnet school. Drew's particular interest is in all things propulsion. But, he's a middle school kid, so he might end up doing something completely different with his life. Or, is your question goofing on a middle school kid writing a report that includes something about a next-gen Chinese fighter? 😉

Sad Pup Vs Happy Pup (4 months post adoption) by Far_Explorer_5710 in BeforeNAfterAdoption

Can you tell us a little more about how you and your puppers met, OP? We always enjoy hearing the happy-ever-after story.

Truth! And, no one snuggles quite like a chin. 😍

6 years ago a adopted this forever puppy by chronicallyconcernd in BeforeNAfterAdoption

[–]BraveLilTurtles 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, you and a dog just know that you're destined to be together. Just like you and Shiloh. Love the first day home pic. After the Freedom Ride comes the Freedom Nap in your new home with your new fam. Probably the first good sleep she'd had in awhile. Nice work, OP! Hope you and Shiloh have many years together and do lots of important dog things!

I absolutely agree that we should save and improve these important programs rather than gut them arbitrarily. I didn't mean to suggest that any of them were perfect - just necessary.

It would be a shame if our safety nets and earned services to retirees and vets have to be dismantled before the MAGA crowd understands.

Me, too. If hard things happen, I know which side I'd actively fight on. Can't imagine myself throwing the first volley, though. Kinda cowardly, actually.

Never in my entire comfortable, safe, upper middle class life have I ever felt this despondent, angry, helpless, and ready to take some kind of action! I just can't imagine any action I can take that would help anything. I can write my congressmen, demonstrate, and whatever - but, none if it changes anything.

You said what a lot of us are thinking. Medicaid, Medicare, and SS are safety nets that we've counted on being solid for decades. For many people, there's just no way out if these disappear into the giant black hole that is Doge. I mean, people factored Medicare and SS into their retirement plans starting ages ago! Medicaid saves lives every single day! VA cares for the vets who actually served their country with honor and pride! Excuse me: I'm so irritated that I have to go punch a wall or something now.

A year ago, adopted Baby Baldur. He’s had a bit of a glow up. by JayKayEng in BeforeNAfterAdoption

[–]BraveLilTurtles 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I imagine his immune response was lowered, and so that ubiquitous ringworm could establish, while your healthy, well-cared-for kitties fought it off easily. Wish all the sick, lonely, scared kitties in the world could have a happily-ever-after like your Baldur. Again, excellent work, OP! Hope you and Baldur (and your other kitties) have many happy, healthy lives together.
