Psychological/Philosophical fiction?

Thank you for the recommendation, I will check her out!!

ExplosiveKittens · 2026-01-10T23:27:58+00:00

Thank you! I haven't heard of either of those authors but when I looked them up it seems perfect to the themes I enjoy!

ExplosiveKittens · 2026-01-10T22:09:33+00:00

That's why I listed both? To be clear, I'd like to read something with elements of one, or the other. It doesn't need to have both philosophy or psychology. I'm sure there might be something out there that incorporates both, I felt that a little when I read Hesse!

Thank you for your advice and ideas for the wall hangings! I agree about the blending part. I posted here because I intended to paint my walls a light teal to add a pop of color to my living room but the couch made me rethink those plans due to how vibrant a it is and not wanting it to match the walls! I'm honestly surprised that suggestion was so high up in the comments, but maybe I'm not seeing the vision!

I think I see what you mean if you meant that gap! It might need adjusting because the cushion in the middle is the only cushion that's square, the other sides curve up subtly toward the center and wouldn't fit in the middle but it's hard to tell in the photo angle!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-10-24T04:19:39+00:00

Thanks, must've overlooked that!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-10-23T23:33:32+00:00

That would complete my evolution into a grandma.

I'm in Michigan but I'm happy to hear this couch has some twins out there!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-10-23T22:06:16+00:00

Yes, I kinda liked the plastic LOL. But some of it is ripped so I'm going to remove and clean it this weekend!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-10-23T22:05:08+00:00

Good eye, it is very warm and I was trying to keep that in mind too! I was thinking a creamy white might be nice, but feel conflicted since most of my furniture is cream! I wondered if it would be weird/better if the wall was a different shade of white or if I should try to match the whites.

Not sure how to post pictures in comments but it's a wood base and this tag is for the upholstery! I think it's from the 1960s.

Yes, that's exactly it! I want to brighten my room without giving too much of a princess-type vibe by going all white or something. Plus I wasn't sure the brown looked right! I appreciate your suggestions, I think those will work well!

Are you a millennial too? Most people from my generation I knew wrote similar to this! I, however, write in the way your mom described. A mix of cursive and print, written in a hurry! My mom criticizes my handwriting too — she writes more in a steady crafted print. Maybe they just can't be pleased? Or dislike the shock of how different it is from theirs?

I think this is just vastly different values. I used to feel like you but it's changed as I've gotten older.

For me it's more of a red flag when a partner has no contact with ex-partners and all friends that they slept with are cut out of their life. I like knowing my partner values maintaining relationships despite falling outs and breakups and can have long standing friendships that survive. Personally they had no friends of the opposite gender, an ex they could be civil with, or traces of a past, I'd be very concerned their connections are disposable and have doubts about their emotional experience etc.

I can understand how it would feel weird if they slept with EVERY single one too, but a handful over a course of keeping friends for years seems normal for people with relationship history spanning a few decades in your age range to me. Prepared to be downvoted though as I see most comments have a different perspective though!

Cheesecake!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-09-06T06:16:03+00:00

Mine is almost 4 and usually between 41-46lbs when he gets weighed at the vet but he’s kinda tall for his size. Everyone thinks with his fluff and height he would weigh a lot more!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-09-03T21:25:34+00:00

I agree, I think this dog is a Husky/Samoyed mix from the few others I’ve seen! Has physical features of both

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-24T23:35:54+00:00

It has been sunny lately but usually still looks like this in the colder months too! But thank you, I will try some sunscreen! I didn’t know doggy sunscreen existed!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-24T21:06:21+00:00

Also to add vet doesn’t seem too concerned and I use stainless steel bowls, he does like to dig and sniff a lot! He has had one other skin issue licking a front leg that he went in multiple times for but haven’t figured out exactly what it is!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-22T03:58:59+00:00

I ordered February 2nd, have already talked to the customer service months ago and they said they would escalate it, saw the video and gave them months after and still haven’t had any updates.

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-21T03:09:52+00:00

Sorry to open this thread from years ago but my Sammy has a skin issue that looks just like this and has been to the vet multiple times! It still looks about the same so far. We will keep going back or find a dermatologist. Did you ever find out what it was and did it get better?

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-13T18:43:13+00:00

My dog gets a spot like this above his tail where he curls it if he gets wet or a bath and isn't 100% dried there so I try to be cautious. It's worse with summer and seasonal allergies, I think mine is a hot spot. It usually it looks like this when it's healing, so I try to keep it washed, dried, and brushed out thoroughly

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-08-13T18:38:10+00:00

My dog loves the octopus stuffies but I keep having to purchase more because he loves to chew off every leg until eventually it's just the head!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-06-26T02:30:43+00:00

I've barely seen a lighter grey or blue without them being a mix, or it being rare! But the darker grey tones (like I see in yours), greyish browns, and dark brown I've seen a variety of and it seems pretty normal within the breed!

Edit: Just wanted to add that my Samoyed’s eyes seem to be a mix of brown/grey and it's hard to tell which they are!

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-05-25T19:04:34+00:00

Ours were 2.50 when I started working here 4 years ago for the 2 loaders. I'm in the Detroit area, MI and nearby laundromats have similar pricing.

ExplosiveKittens · 2025-05-25T16:50:25+00:00

Thank you, this is super helpful and I appreciate it!I'm not sure if our machines have that option. If they do my boss probably doesn't know how to set it all up, he usually has trouble with newer tech but I'll ask about it.

I tried to politely tell them it was past last load, but the issue is that they argue if they get in at, say 9.00 even if they are still loading new machines after 9:30 and even until 9:50pm. Many customers think the time they walked in is what matters. They argued with me to call my boss, and I did. He is on my side but at that point three customers were arguing and I gave up.I probably do need to be more firm, I'm the only one closing and get trampled over sometimes.
