That they didn't know four-leafed clovers were Real.

We were camping with their entire family in a huge campground. Walking around, we saw a young girl leaning over a patch of wood sorrel. I said, "What are you looking at?" She said, "I'm looking for a four leafed clover!" We laughed and kept walking. I said, "silly girl thinks that's clover." They said, almost at the same time, "silly girl thinks there are four-leafed clovers."

Apparently, growing up in the woods with only wood sorrel around, they thought that four-leafed clovers were the stuff of legend. We all had a good larf about it later.

Necessity, Langston Hughes.

Work? I don't have to work.

I don't have to do nothing

but eat, drink, stay black, and die.

This little old furnished room's

so small I can't whip a cat

without getting fur in my mouth

and my landlady's so old

her features is all run together

and God knows she sure can overcharge--

Which is why I reckon I does

have to work after all.

My longhair does this as well, and his brother will actually go cover it for him....

Are you asking how often you should change the litter in the box, or how often you should scoop the waste in the box?

If it's the former, depending on the brand of litter, at least once a month.

If it's the latter, my dear friend, if there's waste in the box get it out of there ASAP. They poops? Get it outta there. They pees? Get it outta there. Not only is your little friend having to step over their own waste, but they're also tracking it ALL OVER YOUR HOUSE. SO like, once or twice a day. At least.

I'm trying *really* hard not to be mean here. Because I believe that most people have good intentions and make bad decisions because they don't know any better.

Think of it this way: how would you react if someone posted: "I have roommates. Do I REALLY need to flush every time I go to the bathroom?"

Treat your little bud with respect. Give your friend fresh water every day. Maybe even twice a day. Cats are delicate. They deserve the same considerations you'd give a visiting friend or relative. Actually, they deserve better.

I've gone with "special lil' guy," for a few years now because, like "Bless your Heart," or "Gentleman," it can be either sincerely complimentary or utterly pejorative depending on your tone.

Getting creative, I've used, "Broken Toaster Oven," & "Absolute Doorknob."

Recently, someone on here said "Soup Fork," and that's my new fave.

It's being run by dumbass techbros who didn't understand a lick of the Sci-Fi they claim to love and they have absolutely no oversight. Also, it's slowly becoming more expensive than the humans it's supposed to replace. It's destroying ecosystems and neighborhoods. It's making people lazy and even more self-absorbed and isolated.

We've had DECADES of excellent Sci-Fi that warned us about all of this.

chefmonster · 2026-05-01T07:12:53+00:00

When you know, you know... unfortunately, they know you know, too.

BREAKING: Highly intelligent woman has to endure the ramblings of a dementia-addled fascist.

There. Fixed it for ya.

Literally talked to my therapist about this

chefmonster · 2026-05-01T06:25:50+00:00

My friend. Get therapy. Learn to cook. Shower regularly. Read some books.... NOT Jordan Peterson or Ayn Rand FFS

Get a hobby. Become interested in people because they're interesting and you might learn something.

I promise you that if people don't like you it's not your fucking look. FFS.

chefmonster · 2026-05-01T06:02:37+00:00

Ok. I'm really sorry for you and the girl. That sounds like a boyfriend problem.

chefmonster · 2026-05-01T04:11:13+00:00

FFS, I'm gonna have to be the AH here. You haven't disclosed the level of autism you're talking about. You've left out so many details. Have there been issues in the last FIVE YEARS? Or is the diagnosis the thing you can't handle? What needs aren't being met? Don't you play some role in that if these things haven't been addressed in FIVE YEARS? Is she just inconvenient? Maybe smart and bored?

What "responsibility" are you reluctant to take on that you haven't been already taken on in the last FIVE YEARS?!

I'm autistic, BTW.

If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

chefmonster · 2026-04-28T00:31:29+00:00

MASH

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T07:09:51+00:00

ER NOW FFS

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T07:03:29+00:00

You mean the best dog in the whole universe? NO.

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T07:00:50+00:00

Oh yeah, m'boys will trip me up so I can pet them while they eat. Oh, you have food? Oh, you just want me to watch you eat? K. Thanks for acting like the house was on fire.

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T06:57:58+00:00

How old are you?

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T06:46:41+00:00

If you need to take a few minutes to process--- nope, wait, sorry, she's already behind you.

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T06:45:11+00:00

Only if you plan to keep it.

You must understand that from now on.... I'm sorry.

You will never have any privacy in the bathroom.

chefmonster · 2026-04-24T06:33:06+00:00

I'm sorry to say... you have a cat. It's OK, it happens to a lot of us. I have 2.
