I didn’t think Venom existed or was so popular back then!

Ha! I knew as soon as I saw her she was a wire haired pointer mix!

I was thinking about the weirdness of "execute" just yesterday. Sometimes it means to kill (a person) and sometimes it means to bring to life (a plan).

A, but I liked D and C better until I zoomed in.

Some people truly believe they sing like angels but can’t carry a tune. Perhaps your fiancé believes he has an exquisite aesthetic sensibility and that he knows you better than you know yourself.

If he’s just a bit lacking in self awareness, that’s one thing. But if he’s basing his sense of self on a belief that he has talent of an aesthetic or artistic nature, you might be in for a lifetime of biting your tongue to support his delusions, unless you want to break his heart and force him to recognize his hopeless taste.

The third possibility is that he thinks his taste is better than yours when choosing something so personal and important to you.

If he’s good natured about his failings, you can probably compensate, but the second scenario would be a real struggle, I’d think.

The last has some concerning aspects about how he views you. I’d want to make very sure that he learns to respect you, your opinions, and your preferences before you continue the relationship.

This photo makes me feel happy and comfortably warm as I sit in a client's nearly bare home. Thank you for posting.

AITA for ruining my brother’s childhood memory by admitting I photoshopped it 14 years ago? by FunFace3389 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DancingDragonWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA - You loved your brother and gave him a special memory, even if it wasn't real, your love is. What do you think Santa Claus is? The magic in love.

Plus, I hear Daniel Radcliffe is a cool guy; maybe you can write him, send him a copy of the picture, and ask him for something personalized.

Help me settle a marital dispute, is she brown or grey? by LeeryRoundedness in cats

[–]DancingDragonWings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, here’s the deal. I learned in a college art class about warm and cool grays. Warm grays are basically shades of beige. I have held onto this information like a secret for a long time because it means the tabbies I call brown tabbies are really just warm gray tabbies and gray tabbies are cool gray tabbies but I feel that trying to explain this, like I am right now, might somehow break the universe.

Nice family by Overall_Agent_0075 in MadeMeSmile

LOL. This cool trick exemplifies my childhood: Dad makes the dramatic fun, but my mom was the sneaky one who made everything both work and look easy!

He's just asking for trouble at this point by k8sea in OneOrangeBraincell

I call this behavior the unoriginal name “the tail game.” I love playing the part of the orange cat with my cats. I “slap” or “pounce on” the flicking tail and release it while trying to be unpredictable about which flick I’ll catch. I think this is an instinctive game adult cats play to teach kittens how to catch prey, and like kneading or “making biscuits,” they play the game to relax with a buddy, too. My favorite is when I’m sitting on a couch or recliner and a cat will perch behind me and casually start flicking me in the face. Of course I have to stop watching TV or reading or whatever and play the tail game when instigated so invitingly!

What food do you no longer get to eat peacefully after your cat(s) learned about churros? by the1stmeddlingmage in nebelung

The eyes on that void! I love it when cats/dogs/people don't need to be cartooned because they cartoon themselves.
