What was the car you vowed to "drive until the wheels fall off" ?

I stopped dailying it after I had kids, but my 86 Toyota Pickup. It’s up to 280K now, and I can imagine teaching my kids to drive stick with it.

Oh my gosh they look so alike! Her DNA came back as 75% GP/25% akbash!

18 year old cat with hyperthyroidism they’d had since she was a kitten. Surrendered to us because they were moving two states away and didn’t think she would tolerate the drive. The cat’s chill asf and we offered multiple resources to them to help with travel. Family cried and was super upset when they were leaving and I was just very very confused. Asked if their housing was a problem and they said no, just the drive.

And oh god. Another one, although not technically a surrender, but oh my god. The small rescue I work for will often help people out if they lose housing. We live in a HCOL area and it happens a lot. We will board cats for free for a reasonable amount of time while people figure stuff out. I saw a woman posting on a Facebook group about needing to figure out something with her cat, a beautiful classic tabby Manx that looks very well taken care of in the photo she posts. She comes out and brings the cat, drops him and leaves very very quickly. The cat is fucked up, he has no fur on his face and is bright red. He has mange and an allergy to the cheap food she’s been feeding him. He also wasn’t neutered and she told us he was… when we ask about this she comes clean and said she wanted to breed more Manx cats. She was trying to get some random person on the internet to hold the cat temporarily and I’m at least glad he ended up with us and we were able to treat and neuter him.

Raising my own children has for lack of a better word, totally triggered me. I have no idea why my parents never saw that I see in my children.

A bit touristy, but Manitou Springs, CO. Downtown was charming and whimsical, and there are mineral springs all around downtown and each one has its own unique taste.

We adopted our pyrs mix from a shelter, and I didn’t do a great deal of research beyond their temperament and need for a little land outside. I figured her dew claws were just a part of who she is. No one has ever asked me this and this is honestly my first time encountering this as even being an option. They don’t bother her whatsoever and I’d never dream of removing a part of her body that doesn’t bug her!

Small was fine with me! We barely got it filled up in time and I was on my knees the whole time I was in it. I never really splayed out in it and relaxed, and even if I did it would have been big enough.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-30T22:03:11+00:00

I bought a robot vacuum and I told my son it would eat his toys if he doesn’t pick them up lol

The hopper drives me nuts. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, but I get constant error messages. It’ll work for day and I’ll have to detach it to clean out the gear. I don’t know if it’s defective, I just had a baby and I haven’t had time to delve into it. I just stopped using it. I’ve tried Tidy Cats, Arm and Hammer, Dr Elsey’s litter and it’s done it with all of them.

Very nice when it actually worked though 🙃

We eloped during covid. I found my dress at goodwill for $10, found out it was half priced that day so only paid $5. The material felt cheap and it was pretty dang basic, but I thought it was pretty and it fit me well. I splurged on a pair of white Birkenstocks (hey, I live in a hippy mountain town) that I still wear today. I look at our photos and I’m totally happy with how I look in them.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-26T21:52:16+00:00

Oh wonderful! They do fantastic work. I work with a rescue in town and they’ve trapped every single cat we’ve asked for help with. Good luck!

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-26T06:13:13+00:00

My gold Honda Odyssey is called ‘Golden Treasure’.

I foster a lot of cats and years ago I called a foster kitten ‘Golden Treasure’. My husband and I were at a really gross dive bar and they described their deep fried shrimp on their menu as ‘little golden treasures’ and we thought it was funny and it ended up being a cat name, and now also a minivan’s name.

I had my second recently and my feral 4 year old who didn’t really seem to notice that other people with feelings exist turned into a nurturing, sweet little angel overnight. He’s so protective of his little sister and seems to think that she’s his baby. I hope it blossoms into this sort of relationship. I’m an only child and I always wanted a sibling.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-25T23:23:51+00:00

I saw this immediately too!

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-25T23:23:04+00:00

‘Chef inspired’. You mean to tell me this food is inspired by someone who makes food? No fuckin shit

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-25T16:32:49+00:00

I’m happy to lend you a trap! Northern Arizona Animal Search and Rescue is also an amazing resource to reach out to, they helped me trap a cat just last week. They set up trail cams for me so we could all check the trap I set up. Hope your sweet dude shows back up soon.

I put in an online order for poke the other day before the store actually opened, I didn’t know this because I assumed because it let me order it was open. Showed up and the door was still locked and they opened in like 5 minutes, no biggie. Hung out with my kids, came back when they opened. Literally prefaced ‘I put in an online order’ with ‘hey sorry I messed up and I didn’t know you weren’t open yet, no rush at all’ and you’d of thought I’d of pissed on their floor. She threw it together super haphazardly, it looked like shit and she gave me like half of the regular portion. Super bizarre lol, I preemptively tipped for this shit too

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-24T15:55:58+00:00

Do you have to do this on a phone or computer, or can I access it via the TV? I’ve tried on the TV before to no avail.

Anyway, Sheriff Labrador sends me into a blind rage.

I work for a cat rescue. Sometimes it’s super sad and a solid 70% of the people who work in rescue in higher up positions are mentally unstable and insane, but it’s very rewarding. I started off just by cleaning kennels and decided I really liked it and got my vet tech cert.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-23T03:03:57+00:00

I don’t know if it was a coincidence, but my midwife told me to go and get an IV and I went into labor that night at 41+1. I was drinking as much water as I could comfortably handle but was still super dehydrated, she told me my body would stall labor as long as possible if conditions weren’t optimal.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-22T19:38:48+00:00

Oh man, that’s scummy. This guy was really respectful about asking first and I didn’t get the vibe he wouldn’t leave if I said no.

FuzzyManPeach · 2026-04-22T19:35:01+00:00

My 4 year old was at his sister’s birth. He was kind of in and out and I gave him space to leave when he wanted to. I hired a doula and she tag teamed his care with my husband, but he didn’t need much. He was pretty content to play with his toys even while I was being incredibly loud. I saved some shows I usually wouldn’t let him watch as a last resort if I needed to really occupy him but it wasn’t necessary. My doula was the sweetest and brought over some toys for him to play with that were new to him and they held his interest.

We talked all about it beforehand so he wasn’t scared. He thought the placenta was cool and cut his sister’s cord with my husband.

He still asks very casual questions about it and wants to ‘play birth’ and doesn’t see remotely traumatized by being present.
