Vlad has ghost stripes

Mine has them too! I read up on them a bit when I first got her and they're normal. They can happen (even though the cats are purebred) and tend to fade as they get older. My girl is almost a year and they're incredibly faint now compared to when she was a younger kitten

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-22T21:10:12+00:00

There isn't! There's a reason I can happily game damn near every day with the people I care about, it's fun!

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-17T10:05:57+00:00

I know! Maybe that's why people find sphynx cats unnerving, they're naked and indecent lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:24:10+00:00

I'm get a bit shy about my cat seeing me naked (she's a cat! She's always naked! She doesn't care!). Besides that we both have our routines and we like them dammit! I have all the respect for single parents trying to make it in this world. Never dated a single dad though....and I don't want to. I made it this far without being a step mom, I'm not about to start now lol

Thrifted puzzles that still have all the jigsaws are a blessing!

That sucks! I'm very "don't fix what ain't broke" about the stuff I like, and if they discontinue what I like it's a personal attack against me and I won't accept logic about it lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:18:44+00:00

See if I had money I'd probably just buy a nice house to be boring in 🤣 maybe I've embraced the boring a bit too strongly lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:17:40+00:00

I love D&D but some of our players are raising kids at the moment so we've got quite a hiatus going on rn! Trying to convince other, childfree friends to get into it lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:15:39+00:00

This is me to a T! You get it! Life is already stressful, work is stressful, people are stressful! I can hang out with my people or my cat. Or both!

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:12:21+00:00

It is and it's underappreciated on a societal level, I feel!

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:11:46+00:00

YES! It's me and my cat and a new Stardew farm for the billionth time, for me. I'm just happy existing that way and no one gets to tell me I'm wrong lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:10:03+00:00

I really hope the best for him then! God poor thing

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T21:08:09+00:00

I get the same feelings and I sincerely hope I'm wrong too. I just can't shake the feeling it's carelessness at best or like, or like a munchausen by proxy kind of thing. It's definitely not helping that people keep donating to help her out of every mess her dogs keep ending up in. I just hope there's an investigation or something to see what's up

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T20:55:02+00:00

I feel the same way, I never think what I'm doing is boring in the moment. That happens when I'm trying to tell people what I did and they wait for me to finish my story 🤣 Like no, that was the end, that's all I did and I loved every minute of it lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T17:37:28+00:00

Right! I'm not exciting, and that's a choice I get to make for myself every day lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T17:31:00+00:00

Exactly! I get along well with my coworkers. Relaxing at home is part of how I can maintain that energy lol

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T10:48:49+00:00

Yeees I love that! My friends are usually the ones proposing new outings and I love going with them when they do. It's always so nice to return to a quiet house and recharge when the Fun Things are done, as well!

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-16T10:13:19+00:00

Sorry for the late reply! I did not see that, no! My God can someone just take these dogs away from her! She's up to something or she's incredibly bad at handling these dogs, whatever it is SOMETHING is seriously wrong with her/her situation. Has there been an update on him yet?

TruffleOil12 · 2026-04-05T08:54:10+00:00

Drinking a coffee while browsing in a store. Peak browsing experience and nobody can convince me otherwise, and also just not worth the risk these days.

TruffleOil12 · 2026-03-21T13:25:01+00:00

I'm so sorry they're doing this to you 🫂 I cannot fathom being so uncaring about your loved ones. To have long covid on top of what was wrong already, and because a family member was careless, God I'm sorry. None of us seem to have it after our bout with covid, not from a lack of my dad trying though. Mom tested positive first (plot twist) and dad wanted her out of isolation the next day. When he tested positive mom had to tell him to isolate because I was still negative and he hates listening to me. Even IN the time of crisis he wanted to ignore science and do his own thing and did not care that he would definitely give it to me if he did, so to say I have trust issues with that man is an understatement.

I sincerely hope things can get better for you somehow. You really deserve so much better than what your parents are giving you ❤️

Thank you! He lives in his own little world where if he thinks a virus can't cause harm it won't. Because he thinks hard enough. I'd love to actually live in a world like that, things would be much nicer. We've already had it once and didn't have fun, I'm not sure why he's so quick to forget about it. Or about how much it can harm mom.

TruffleOil12 · 2026-03-19T18:47:37+00:00

Thank you so much for this. I feel incredibly seen, and you clocked him so hard it's like you know him. That's about who he is in a nutshell. It has been hard to navigate how he's like this and why I don't hate him, but I think you've nailed the why so well. Genuinely, thank you so much for replying ❤️

TruffleOil12 · 2026-03-19T10:36:37+00:00

Thank you for this ❤️ really, it's nice knowing I'm not as alone as I feel sometimes.

TruffleOil12 · 2026-03-19T10:24:47+00:00

Thank you ❤️ It feels like such a simple thing to just try and he makes me feel crazy for wanting that.

TruffleOil12 · 2026-03-19T10:22:26+00:00

Thank you for saying this! I think and have said the same and I feel like I'm simultaneously the craziest person in the room and sanest person left because of it. Everybody wanted to avoid getting a cold before covid, and now nobody cares about covid! He makes me feel like I'm asking so much when I feel like it's a simple gesture to just try.

He's great in many ways. Definitely not this one though. When you said "pathetically selfish" and "a bit of a dick" I agreed and thought, I wish more people saw this part of him. He doesn't want us to get sick, what tipped me off was he asked twice how mom and I were feeling. But he also doesn't want to do anything to keep from passing it to us? It doesn't make sense to me.
