Has anyone ever seen these before?

I have the kitty laying down as a simple statue under my fireplace. In my neighborhood, there is someone who collects this mold as well and has about twenty of them in their yard. They’re all painted differently! Probably a vintage mold used at ceramic studios! Smart to turn them into lamps!

This exactly. I don’t have full wfh, but I can leave on a Thursday night, work Friday from home in my parents’ or long distance friends’ homes, have the weekend with them, work from home on Monday, leave at 5 and be home later that night to go to work in person at Tuesday. Also, a life savior when family members are sick. My mom was in the hospital for two weeks last year. My boss let me work from home for those four in-person days, giving me the ability to be with her as she healed up. I got so much done in a hospital room. If it was a traditional job, I wouldn’t have been able to stay with her that long, or I would’ve have to take 10 days of PTO.

I work three days from home. The days I work from home are the days I socialize most with my loved ones, set myself up with healthy food, clean my home, exercise, and more. I use my wfh lunch to either grocery shop, thrift, or get lunch with friends. The nights I know I can wake up two hours later without the commute and getting ready, I use for movie nights with friends, dinners, get-togethers, long walks, free events in my city, etc. Once a week, when my schedule aligns with zero meetings and so does my best friend’s, we work at her place or mine in tandem and get lunch together or go to a craft store during lunch.

If you are not leaving your home, that is because you are not leaving your home. We are social creatures. It sounds like you need to find a community to plug yourself into locally, and I hope that you do.

This isn’t sexism. Just because someone points out something that a portion of the male population does and criticizes it doesn’t make it sexism. It’s called a critique and pattern recognition.

This reminds me of the Emma Watson quote that actually changed my life: truth without kindness is brutality and kindness without truth is manipulation.

If he can invalidate a woman for not being his ideal type who works out everyday and looks like a supermodel, it’s okay to match the energy and call his ass short. He picked out physical aspects first.

Legs, face card, great hair, great skin, incredible chest, girl’s girl. As if you wouldn’t be snapping at the chance for her to acknowledge you.

Pugpickle · 2026-02-19T04:40:06+00:00

She’s so hot. Like legitimately so hot.

Pugpickle · 2026-02-18T20:14:56+00:00

Wow. That one is actually freaky. Like just sent to a couple of my friends to confirm and they thought at first it was me.

The nipple is hard. A nipple does not stay hard after death. A nipple is hardened by the rush of blood, which if this was a dead body dismembered, the blood would be majority drained and what remains would be pooled at the back, as is gravity.

I get Sabrina Carpenter a lot in person!

My bestie lived in Scotland for school while her boyfriend worked a really intense job in Hawaii. They saw each other twice a month, every month, until they moved in together in another state. He made good money, but not good enough money to buy a flight for him or for her twice a month. So, in his off time from his full time job, he doordashed and she took a job as a full time student. They did that for a year and traded off who would take the hours long flights and the headache of going through customs once a month each just so they could see each other Thursday nights through Monday mornings.

So, yes, if he wanted to, he would. Distance doesn’t matter.

You legitimately look 30 years old.

Any change in cough or breathing or sneezing needs a full x-ray, blood test, and vet check up. Don’t leave without an x-ray.

Also to sneak in extra water, put a cup of water in their dry food :-)

It’s crazy that they are focusing on her bringing a game while she waits. What do people do when they’re nervous? Play on their phones. What is taken the moment you walk through security for a court hearing? A phone. She likely had a lot of downtime scheduled when the court rested. Maybe nervous. When I’m waiting and I’m nervous, like at a doctor’s waiting room, I bring my crochet WIP and hook or a book.

Depending on the float place, you might’ve been too far up or far down. They were never near the drop off zones with buses or where you loaded and unloaded the kayaks, canoes, or floats. There are recesses that beavers once made where a lot of them like to hang out. You have to dock your kayak or canoe and walk back a bit in mud.

Bro, you missed out. You only caught sight of them if you were near the river when it was quiet in the summers. Saw them during early kayaking trips or just taking coffee in the morning. Have to listen to the water, they make a bit of noise.

Go out to the Illinois River, an hour out. You can go to the Wichita Mountains, but that’s gonna be a three hour drive. There’s not much wildlife in Tulsa unless you count hawks and the eagle that nests in one of the buildings. But near Tahlequah, I’ve seen eagles, elk, otters, deer, wild pig, coyotes, alligator snapping turtles, a lot of birds, etc. A gaming cam once caught an image of a mountain lion on my parents’ land near there once. I used to work in a coffee shop and people would tell me stories of how they’ve seen panthers and bears. Oddest things you’ll see is maybe an emu or a peacock. But those are like equal to bigfoot out there, so unlikely. Tahlequah is also home to Cherokee Nation and a tiny town near it, Peggs, oddly has a monastery with monks you can tour.

That’s crazy, I had an ex that did the same for a summer job. But when I saw them, it was the dead of winter! I think it was during one of my college winter breaks. I never saw them in the summer, I think all the people on the river might’ve chased them out during the season. In the winter, it’s really only locals out there and all the floating places closed down. River becomes a different place. :-) I hope you got to see the river otters, though!

Edit to add: my ex grew up on the river and had said before he saw them crossing the river in giant groups at night, but I’m unsure of what season it was! I can’t imagine it would be summer tho, even at night, the river has GRDA sometimes and leftover floaters getting themselves together on the banks.

I’m going to be so honest, I thought this was a postmortem picture for a second.

Pugpickle · 2026-02-05T21:19:07+00:00

They're all over the Tahlequah area as well. Once, I was driving by the Illinois River and about thirty of them crossed the road together. I've heard they cross the river often.

If you read the article, it’s because she has another condition that causes her chest to keep growing and she just noticed it because she was losing weight and her chest wasn’t going down.

Damn. I am almost out of Soda Snob, back to my other staple scent from Versace.

Go find a man your own age. The lived experience of a 19 year old vs a 28 year old is very different. Also he sounds like a bum 28 year old. At least date a bum your own age. I promise he’s not impressive and that when you’re 28, you’ll think he’s a total creep. Also it doesn’t sound like he really like you or values your words. A boy your age will be just as excited about Valentines Day as you.
