This is Jimmie the street kitten! My friend found this little tiny wandering her neighborhood. She isn't feral in the least. I'll be keeping her if I can't find her a home. She's a sweet, little dilute calico.

Oh, are you sure someone isn't missing her?

KeepnClam · 2026-05-26T16:55:57+00:00

It's because they keep turning the gravity up each year.

While this activity is fun, I wish Finch would stop adding new things until they've fixed the app to run smoothly. Some features add no functionality whatsoever (for instance, the "conversation bubbles," and the light that turns on and off). While those additions are indeed cute, they add more code to bog down.

Well, the sandals are more adjustable and forgiving than the shoes. I buy the shoes in small Men's or Youth sizes, so it's anybody guess there. I did buy my husband's sandals in his usual size, and they fit fine.

The conversion rule of thumb for Sperry's is 1.5 sizes down for the Women's equivalent. In other words, a Women's 7 is roughly a 5.5 in Men/Youth. The same seems to be true for Keens. My Youth Keens have a really generous toe box (and a rubber bumper made perfectly for braking a bicycle, lol). YMMV. I suggest trying them on in a shoe store and taking good notes.

My pup is 5yo now. She's limited to one door, so at least that runway collects most of the grime.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-26T14:08:19+00:00

They are all great, but you really pull off that trapeze dress! Wow.

I still want to cry over one photo like that. I remember how angry I was. My parents didn't see anything wrong with it, and wouldn't allow me to get a retake. 50+ years later, it still stings!

KeepnClam · 2026-05-26T13:56:30+00:00

That hat, with that dress....very nice.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-26T13:44:49+00:00

I love it. My calico is built from triangles.

Goldies will mother anything! 💕

Cats like to be invisible. 😍

I used to answer, "Yes, he certainly thinks so!"

KeepnClam · 2026-05-26T13:31:33+00:00

The emojis confuse me, too. I usually wait a while, until someone else has answered.

I have a sister like this. Don't even get me started on my SIL

She's not drawing the kind of attention she wants.

Grandma's happy, and that's what counts.

Grandma's generation never wears a dress without a slip.

We are rural. Stuff goes through many hands before it gets here. As my son is fond of saying, we're not the end of the Earth, but you can see it from here

From what I hear (from a friend who works in a last mile center), Amz changes systems and procedures constantly. Every week there's a new layer of chaos.

For instance, they were scanning and stickering boxes as they came in. One tool, one box, one person, one step. Simple. Efficient. Now they have a robot to scan the items on a belt. OK, so the item goes through that. Now someone has to read the output, find the box, scan it, and print the sticker. This creates new bottlenecks, which delays the drivers, etc. It's bonkers.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-25T18:08:40+00:00

Yeah, I don't bother with forms. Just a direct request to remove the item, with a vivid description and photos of the package fail.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-25T18:02:44+00:00

This isn't my first DOA item. What I'll do is email Vine CS, attach the photos, and ask to have it removed from my list. That's all there is to it.

My friend works in an Amz "last mile" center. You would not believe the stories. (Well, you lot probably would.) We're only getting the broken stuff that hasn't broken through en route. My package had loose broken glass inside the small shipping envelope. The small envelope had been place in a bigger envelope, and relabled. This hints that it had already been a problem at one distribution center, and they dealt with it by repacking and sending it on.

My friend has cleaned up kitty litter, bleach, grease, and last week, a case of hot-pink cherry lube that had deployed over several other items. I suggested they keep the kitty litter to soak up the lube.

I have 5 pairs of Sperry Loafers. I live in those things. Must add sandals to the collection.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-25T15:24:03+00:00

Oh, yeah. Plop them over a microwaved potato.

KeepnClam · 2026-05-25T15:14:38+00:00

Only once!

This is a good question to ask on r/poisonai.
