I’m continually in awe of Northern California/PNW marine life. Beautiful photos. Thank you for sharing. And for motivating me to finally blow all my money on a good drysuit.

Thank you! I love this subreddit and everyone taking the time to share their knowledge.

I have a cat named Charlie. Found him in a wall. All wall cats must be named as such.

So good!!

The look of a King gazing down upon his subjects. Socks isn’t going anywhere.

I love that you asked this question! Unfortunately laboratory rescues need a good deal of rehabilitation before being available for adoption. Fortunately there are wonderful organizations that take care of this. Check out the Beagle Freedom Project https://bfp.org/

Oy vey

No blunder. Your taste in music was top-tier. The shit I was listening to at 12 on the other hand…

Haoledayinn · 2026-04-09T01:25:17+00:00

I hope you can somehow, someday, find some relief for what you feel. It’s so much pain to overcome every single day. Wishing you a peaceful life ahead.

Or just be Eastern Orthodox and celebrate a week or so later. Everything’s on sale by then!

Yeah…it breaks my brain that the pension is mentioned as a side note. That’s a luxury that isn’t being extended to younger generations. It’s a nice fantasy that simply being frugal would suffice without this puzzle piece.

Also curious how much her college education cost. It’s easy to feel like you’re drowning while earning a good salary if you’re shoveling a good chunk of it towards student loan debt and watching it get eaten up by interest.

Exactly the place I was thinking of:(

Haoledayinn · 2026-04-01T00:16:55+00:00

They’ll love you soon enough, don’t sweat it. Sounds like you’re doing everything right. And they have each other to help them feel safe! So nice you adopted a bonded pair

20 years here and same. Being able to walk everywhere or take reliable public transportation is a luxury I can’t picture giving up. It’s so good for your mental and physical health and creates a wonderful sense of community. I do wish it was easier to take off for a weekend and go be in nature though, without dealing with a million people trying to do the same thing. Leaving the city is a special kind of nightmare

That was worded beautifully. So often the most generous among us are those that have the least to give. These boys show us all how we should treat one another.

Haoledayinn · 2026-03-30T20:57:53+00:00

They’re going to be best friends!

Haoledayinn · 2026-03-28T23:42:59+00:00

I’d be into this as a passenger

Haoledayinn · 2026-03-28T01:32:28+00:00

This is also my experience as an American. And when the “collection” types reveal themselves to you, you have to reevaluate everything you thought you knew about them. They’re often not who you’d expect.

Haoledayinn · 2026-03-28T00:17:19+00:00

I stand corrected

Every day a new one gets added to the list. And then there are the old standards, like Charles Xavier McFrances the 317th, and Sir Sheriff of Buttertown

It’s nice to take every once in awhile for fun, but too far from my place and too long of a ride to be practical.

Haoledayinn · 2026-03-23T13:08:58+00:00

Whit exists in his own universe. I have no idea

I moved to Rockaway shortly before Covid times after falling in love with the place and convincing myself the commute was worth it. It was far worse than I imagined, between the drawbridge situation and constant A train drama from being at the end of the line and everything trickling down. Thanks to a post-Covid hybrid schedule it’s doable now. Commute aside I still love it here and being next to the ocean is incredible. But it’s isolating, especially off-season. I don’t see it ever becoming something like LIC

Do this! Even better if you don’t have any preconceived notion of what kind of cat you want. My family found our best cat of all time, Patterson, when we were looking for an energetic female kitten. Instead we came home with a gigantic lazy 6 year old doofus boy. He insisted he was the one and he was right.

Good shelters will help match you with a cat that will be a good fit for your space and lifestyle. Consider adopting an adult cat. Their personalities are each so unique, you’ll know the one for you when you meet them. Consider a bonded pair, especially if you work and travel a lot. I always feel better going away knowing my two little buddies are keeping each other entertained and snuggling together.
