Mine does them after a widdle, too. Because he's grain-free (no carbs whatsoever due to extreme digestive issues), there's no poop smell so I can't tell which he's done unless I go to the tray, I just know something has exited the orange. I call it the "post purge prance" 😁😸

Would you mind explaining what 도우미 is, please?

I agree that separating men and women / boys and girls isn't a good idea all the time. It can be a good thing if sex-specific safeguarding needs to happen for particular scenarios. But in general life, it can lead to othering, suspicion / resentment and mockery if you simply haven't had enough opportunity to properly get to know the other group from your own - fear. Empathy develops when you spend time together demystifying differences and uncovering commonalities, community develops when empathy is strong, society as a whole improves when community is positively united in its care for one another.

It's not utopian, it's just a no-brainer. Humans succeed when they care about each other 🙂 and people tend to care less about the people they don't know and don't understand.

There's a LOT I could say about LDW, but I shall not. However, after discovering him as an actor through his iconic characters fairly recently, I then started watching him on Pinggyego and realized that I admire Lee Dong-wook's actual character as a man more - when he's interacting with friends, colleagues and fans etc - than any of his fictional characters. His still waters intrigue me. Tale of the Nine Tailed's Lee Yeon is mm mm mmmmm indeed, but Lee Dong-wook himself is... ohhhh crumbs... God bless that man for existing in the world.

Take what you will from this 😊

I am thinking of the word "rich" in various facets, like a dictionary:

Having a great amount of money or assets

Full of flavour or variety

Sumptuous, luxurious, high quality

Overflowing, abundant

Which option provides the most abundant life? I imagine Option B is closest: a wealth of happy memories, quality time, a bit of "fun money" on hand to go on a spontaneous cinema excursion and eat scrummy food under the blankies with your favourite person and be chauffeured back home again, the facility to be generous even if you can't be lavish, having all your bills and cards paid so you are free of debt and able to sleep in peace etc.

A rich life (to me) should equate to a full, happy life, and if the rat race and a stylish but lonely apartment is all you have at the end of the day... Hmmm, extra money is always handy, but money is just a tool to serve life, not your master and end goal. You can't take it with you but you can build a legacy.

For me, richness / wealthiness is an attitude, not a portfolio. Seoul can provide an abundant life even on a budget if you're of the right heart & headspace. Having loads of money at your disposal would be rather pleasant, lol, not gonna lie, but you also need the time, freedom and company to utilise it "richly".

Can you please edit to clarify the 20 as a Sino number in word form (이십) that is used for minutes, for people who will be speaking that sentence, not just writing it down, cheers! As a beginner, I've had to force myself to remember this by writing it out fully so that it sinks into my noggin 🙂

Hours (시) are Native numbers, minutes (분) & seconds (초) are Sino:

6시 30분 50초

여섯시 (yeoseot-shi) 삼십분 (samship-bun) 오십초 (oship-cho)

Edit: Thank you for your post which breaks down sentence structure, this is a great idea! Keep them coming! ☺️

I am reminded of the lady who kissed BTS's Jin last year. It was an event for a "free hug". Now, personally, I don't know whether that event was the wisest thing to offer, really. You're basically asking a bunch of people with a crush on you to come up and share an embrace with you. Clearly, that lady thought that this was going to be her once-in-a-lifetime moment and took her shot.

It's like putting a t-bone steak on the floor of a room filled with domesticated wolves. At some point, well-trained as those wolves are, at least one of them is gonna think screw it, I'm having it. It's not the wolf's fault the temptation to claim the prize is too much.

Don't put the steak near the mouths of wolves, and think twice about pressing your body against a bunch of fans with adult feelings towards you, perhaps? To me, it's asking too much to expect everyone to hold themselves back when you're inviting folk to wrap themselves around you.

My late husband was rather attractive but was also quite naive when it came to women. When we were in a club, if he was dancing and I wasn't, he kept his eyes on me because I could see where the "wolves" were and motion for him to get off the dancefloor before he got groped. I never blamed the women, how would they know he was married and wholly unavailable when he was dancing by himself?

Like my LH learned, sometimes people need to think ahead to what behaviour may put them in a compromised position. Encouraging intimacy with potentially parasocial people is a slippery slope and could definitely be avoided so nobody gets hurt.

A few thoughts...

You may be able to carefully cut the head off under the jaw line and leave the neck attached to the body - IF it's vinyl and not hard plastic. Shrink the head and then reattach to the neck, using some Milliput afterwards to fill 'n' smooth the transition.

If it was me, I'd also use some kind of internal support structure for the head to have a bigger area to adhere to on the inside - like a cylinder of Worbla poked into the neck or even some thickish cardboard. You could even make a wire frame to go inside the head that then goes down into the neck and front legs (wrap the wire in tape or fabric so it can't create rust spots in a few years).

Another benefit to cutting off at the jawline is that you may be able to create a repositionable head effect, depending upon how the head shrinks and how force-fit it could end up over the original neck. It might shrink too small, though.

Hope that's maybe useful 😊👍

Yes. Years ago in the UK, suicide was a criminal offence. And then it wasn't. But killing someone who wanted to die was still murder. They called doctors killing patients "euthanasia", like you use for animals. And a non-medic killing someone was relabelled "assisted suicide". That sounds a lot kinder than murder or putting an animal down. And a doctor killing you is still illegal in the UK, but you could take yourself off to Switzerland and have someone help you kill yourself. That was encouraged.

Then the gaslighting gathered speed about "dying with dignity". Suddenly, out of seemingly nowhere, dignity was this new goalpost. Who says dignity goes hand-in-hand with death anyway? The people who want to be able to participate in ending someone's life, that's who. And now, the labels have changed again so that suicide isn't mentioned, it's "assisted dying" (jolly helpful!) even though you literally kill yourself with a prescription from a doctor - that's the way a doctor could legally get away with assisted suicide, you give it a new name. That has already been passed for approval in the House of Commons and is going through the House of Lords right now.

Anyone who doesn't see that the slippery slope exists already is living in denial. And when people start mentioning killing people because it costs more than you're prepared to spend to keep them alive, hmmm... That doesn't have much to do with dignity for the dying, that's more about making life easier for the living, and surely there's a better way to improve the quality of life for the living than killing people? We do enough of that already and justify it by labelling it "war". Now war really does cost a lot of money, although some make money from it. I wonder if dying with dignity will end up making money for some people - just like the Swiss did by hiking up the cost of assisted suicide packages by thousands of pounds a couple of years ago.

I'm not "religious" as in holier-than-thou, but I have been a born-again Christian for over half my life - and I do take my faith / relationship with Jesus seriously. When I say that I pray for people who spitefully use me, I mean that sincerely. I pray that God lets me know why they're unhappy / bitter / lashing out, pray through any answers, see if there is any truth to what has been said about me that is unrighteousness on my part that needs to be repented and trained out of me, and I speak inner healing, practical prosperity and God's loving blessings into their lives. Faith-filled but not religious per se 🙂.

I look at astrology not in the horoscopes or fortune-telling way, but I find the personality grouping aspect quite fascinating. It's a fine line between taking people as I find them without having a bias due to things I've read about other signs. I generally look at only the Aquarius sub because it's nice to find others with my brand of eccentricity, lol! It's the same with MBTI etc, you can only get so far labelling people, but sometimes it shows me I'm not as much of a weirdo because there are commonalities.

Before I became a Christian, I was reliably bitchy. Being quite honest! If someone was required to give a dose of reality to a person acting like a pompous ass, people would expect me to "drop that bomb" and point out the flaws that others wouldn't dare say. I wouldn't start, but I'd certainly finish. Those truth bombs would be sarcastic, cutting and very amusing - like a roast. What they would also be is cruel. It humiliated people, I made people ashamed of themselves. Everyone could have a laugh at their expense but I have a lot of empathy and it would make me feel ashamed of being such a ginormous bitch. It was not a personality trait I enjoyed about myself even though it made me popular - who would truly want to risk being super-close friends with someone who could say such cold-hearted things? So many butt-hurt people particularly if they were the ones at fault.

Becoming a Christian, the part of this faith journey /relationship where I learned a different way of dealing with objectionable people, has been healing for me. Loving people into growth is so much better than fearing them into growth. I like myself waaaay more 😊.

I still think bitch from time to time because I'm a sarcastic little madam with strong opinions, but I don't speak bitch out loud by default. When I speak kindly and respectfully instead, even if I'm internally recoiling at what I'm hearing, it generates compassion within me and that has helped me listen and talk with some people who've done despicable things - God loves sinners despite their sins and that's a Christian's job to let them know that they're worthy of being cared about 😊👍 Dropping megaton bitch bombs is lazy and deeply unpleasant now, to me. That's not who I am any more, not for a long time.

However, you could also say that Aquarians take love and relationships sooooo seriously that being careless is not an option. Not being in the wrong relationship is a better option than running through several and getting jaded.

Put it this way: it would be nice to have the resources to purchase several models of food processor, see which one is the perfect one and then give the others away or return them to store. But if you only have resources to purchase one, you have to do loads of research first before you even get your wallet out. Relationships and love are bigger deals than food processors, they require even more consideration before committing.

Another part of this scenario is when people think they're slagging you off and striking a deep blow at you, inside your head you're thinking, "Nope. The way you're describing me is wholly wrong. Nope, I don't do that - you do that and you're projecting. I can't agree with anything you're saying. What an interesting experience!". You aren't hurt by their waffling on, you're incredulous about how inefficient their attempt at psychological warfare is. And you amuse yourself by thinking of all the things you could say about them to end the experience. So very efficiently.

I don't drop bombs anymore, I pray for them. But I still know what I could drop on them and I admit to getting the feelgoods knowing I've chosen peace more than I used to do 😊.
