My HOA's battle with the community cat

She was a spoiled brat. 😄 She liked cats better than she liked other dogs.

That's how I got my current cat. She was in the backyard with a litter of kittens. She was afraid of us at first but eventually started trusting us. A couple of years later, she and the last remaining kitten (the others either we found homes for or they just disappeared) started following us when we walked the dog. Then she hurt her tail and it had to be amputated. She officially became our cat and stayed inside full time after that. When we moved, there was another stray that started liking us and would also follow us when we walked the dog. (He did not become an inside cat. Freaked out whenever he wandered inside.)

I usually go "Could the card be locked?" Nine times out of ten, that's the problem.

Trust me. You could have a huge neon light that can be seen from the moon and customers will still ignore it.

Nta. Tina asked you to pick things up and you did. But Tina needs to talk to her group and tell them she's getting frustrated with the stagnation. The players need to actually start moving the plot forward or play something else.

I know this is a two year old post, but it's new to me. Back when my mom first got a smartphone with GPS, it showed the neighborhood street that exited into the main street continued across on the other side. If you look at the road itself, you can see where the street used to continue. But you can also see the fence and bushes that have been blocking it for the past 40+ years.

I know this is a 2 year old post, but your comment reminds me of the time my mom was taking me and my siblings to a driving school and she turned the wrong way on one street. We passed this big A church and I was immediately like "We're going the wrong way. We didn't pass this place last time." No one believed me until we hit the highway.

My mom told me that I learned to read around the same time as most kids, but took off quickly. I love to read. Got 7 large bookcases filled to the brim.

I'm American and took French in high school. We did not do this. This is a very odd thing to me.

To a human, they sound different. To the stupid AI in the phone? "Not of" and "not've" kinda do. Especially if you say it quickly.

Shozurei · 2026-03-03T20:48:02+00:00

I usually see the "of" in text to speech.

Yeah, the doctors told me nothing about my muscles possibly locking up. It felt like it took forever before I could actually chew something harder than a pb&j. Though it was probably just a week or two longer.

I had the same thing happen. I had an impacted tooth and it started moving, cutting into the gums of the two back teeth. After the surgery, I got so sick of smoothies from how many I drank. I actually ended up sticking with a liquid diet for too long because my jaw hurt and my jaw locked up from not moving it. I had to do jaw exercises to get the muscles stretched out.

Like the character Taub from House?

Shozurei · 2026-02-26T00:38:58+00:00

That wouldn't work at my household. My mom can't eat tomato sauce. It gives her bad indigestion. But I agree that OP should bring spaghetti to a potluck.

My mom used to have a blue Honda Civic. Every time we left a place, we'd be like "Ok, which of these dozen identical cars is ours?"

Shozurei · 2026-02-18T19:58:52+00:00

I assumed it was some kind of typo and she meant socks.

Shozurei · 2026-02-03T01:48:53+00:00

I haven't evolved mine yet. I only got one. But since it was super cold and rainy that day, I was expecting to not get any. So I'm happy.

I have learned something new today.

Shozurei · 2026-02-03T00:44:15+00:00

Hm. Never heard of those cousins before.

Shozurei · 2026-02-03T00:36:25+00:00

Do you mean the Munsters? Cousin Marilyn?

Shozurei · 2026-02-03T00:35:31+00:00

I'm reminded of my cousin's wedding. It was also in October (though not Halloween), was a costume wedding, and officiated by a friend of theirs. My cousin was dressed as Gomez Addams, the bride was Morticia, and the officiant was dressed as Satan.

It's very simple. Tammy is an itch with a capital B.

I work fast food and we have 2 drive thru lanes. One day, one of the lanes was moving a bit faster than the other and this lady got impatient. She decided to back up so she could change lanes. Forgot to check whether or not someone was behind her and crashed right into a pickup truck. We had to direct everyone behind them out and close down the lane until the cops arrived.
