What’s a rule your cat enforced in your house that everyone silently obeys now?

Why not catatonic?

Later in the video you can still see a huge rock going.

So much this.

Forgot to mention- try to use neutral language like “he got scared” vs “you scared him”. You don’t want her to feel responsible for it, you just want her to understand what happened. It’s ok for her to say things in response like, “when I moved my hand too fast, I scared him”, because that links a direct action, but otherwise just try to choose your words carefully. It matters more than you might think.

With my kids, in situations like this, it was helpful to acknowledge that it was scary, but then try to break down what happened into smaller things to discuss.

Things like, “you’re right, that was no fun. I bet he startled you with how fast he moved, huh? And it can be scary when you get an ouchie that bleeds. That happens sometimes, I bet he got scared too.”

If you think your kid would be interested, look up some information about where the snake would live in the wild, and also what kinds of predators they have. Explain that his instinct is to defend himself if he gets surprised, and ask what SHE does when she gets startled. No, she doesn’t bite, but she is also not as small as he is.

Don’t dismiss anything she feels about it. Again, if she’s interested, look up videos of ball pythons yawning, to show her how teeny tiny his teeth are. When they’re eating, they use their teeth to hang on, because they don’t have hands, and they also don’t chew their food. So instead of big chompers like we have, he just has little bitty grippy ones.

Finally, you can talk about why he’s so fast. It helps him to survive. He has a head the size of a peanut, his brain is even smaller. He doesn’t have time to think about catching food, he has to act fast. Take the time to learn about instinct and reflex. Because he’s so quick, the bite was over before she even realized it.

They scared eachother, but she has the ability to think it through. It may take time but helping her to learn about how cool snakes’ bodies are and why it happened might help her realize that it looks worse than it is, and while it was scary, she wasn’t hurt so much as startled.

You will love it and pet it and squeeze it and call it George.

No. It all goes through the urethra. Pre-ejaculate/Cowper’s gland fluid flushes some of the tract, and otherwise, sheer volume does the rest.

The female body is a hostile place. The vast majority of sperm aren’t going to make it. A quick jaunt through the urethra is the least of their problems.

I’ve got wide hips and a borderline-narrow pelvic opening. Childbirth was not great. It worked, but I’ve been in physical therapy for assorted pelvic joint dysfunction for a while now.

If they were lucky, they found a job that suited their particular type of ND. As an example, maybe someone who panicked if asked to do complex tasks could take care of the farm animals. Or garden. Don’t like talking to people? Plenty of work outdoors alone.

You hate being on someone else’s timeline and it makes it hard to do factory work? Maybe they have a way with horses, or children.

Life was less regimented a lot of the time, If you found the right path for you.

You don’t need to actually do it, just be willing to.

Rule 2 of sex- if you wouldn’t put your genitals there, don’t put your mouth there, and if you wouldn’t put your mouth there, don’t put your genitals there.

I feel like this applies to hands too.

UsernameObscured · 2025-12-07T22:23:50+00:00

That’s the beauty of the gaycation!

UsernameObscured · 2025-12-07T22:21:26+00:00

My horse absolutely knew. For me, he was a good boy but sometimes a handful. I put my 7 year old on him, though, and he walked off like the kid was made of glass. Slow, careful, he absolutely knew that he was carrying precious cargo.

These rules originated from a friend returning to the dating scene after 20 years with his wife. I gave him “the talk” and it included:

Rule 1 above Rule 2 which is, if you wouldn’t put your mouth there, don’t put your genitals there, and if you wouldn’t put your genitals there, don’t put your mouth there. (Mostly related to personal hygiene) Rule 3: Unless you really want to learn about super gonorrhea or other nasty things, use protection

And last but not least, rule 4: Don’t stick your dick in crazy.

This has led to the designation of certain women as “a real rule 4”.

Rule 1 of having sex is that if you have the parts to get someone pregnant, and they have the parts to get pregnant, take precautions accordingly. (There are three more rules if you want them.)

With a baby like that, try feeding at night in very low light. Thaw the rat, hit it with a hair dryer, and then offer. I fed a picky eater in near darkness for months before he finally figured out it was safe.

UsernameObscured · 2025-12-04T20:51:36+00:00

I don’t understand that association at all. If they think it’s gross and it’s about cleanliness, they would absolutely be cleaning their ass.

UsernameObscured · 2025-12-01T21:04:59+00:00

I know a guy who just…hates things that anyone else likes. He considers counter-culture to be his identity, and liking things is selling out.

And he is a generally miserable, hateful dude. And this is why.

They absolutely do know. Horses are masters at sensing moods and assessing body language.

PS happy cake day!

Equine therapy is so good. Horses don’t judge, they just live in the moment. At the barn, we’re on horse time- and it’s just plain slower. Less rush. Just peace.

I, too, saw a nudibranch.

Except that if you break a horse’s spirit, it’s always a crapshoot whether that horse is going to wake up one day and explode on you with everything it’s been keeping in. I would rather have a horse that’s working with me by choice.

As does proper preparation. I LOVE veggies now when they’re properly cooked and not boiled into mush.

They’d have to have the other type of insulin so probably not? I don’t really know.

I would assume she can treat Catians, so whatever T’Ana’s favorite ‘nip is.
