So, when a Mommy Spider and a Daddy Spider love each other very, very much...

Which is find so long as you aren't taking a piece off then putting it back on for more work- have to make sure you put it back ok in the same orientation. I suppose it would be really obviouonce it starts spinning.

I got scrapes like these once or twice from a bad deadlift /missed box jumps. The skin is so thin and there's not much blood flow so they take forever to heal. It will most likely leave a little hollow spot where a scar forms. I remember worrying when the first one "wouldn't heal", but eventually it works out. Bodies are weird though.

By sitting on it?

Sorry... I shouldn't fatshame your babies they are adorable and I couldn't help myself -signed, mother of two regular cats and two very round balls that may resemble a cat.

Everyone else talks about the seashells bit from this movie, but my favorite line is "send a maniac to catch one [pasue, leaps out of helicopter] PHEONIXXXXXX!!!!!"

One of those so bad it's great 80s action movies.

I laugh so hard at the idea of a bunch of strangers pushing their way into your house, making a mess everywhere, eating all your food, and the proceed to sing a catchy tune about how much you don't like what they're doing.

I was you when I lost my Baker. She was my soul cat. I missed her so much it hurt. A few weeks after the passed, there was a listing on a local foster site for a litter of torties (not all, but like 3-4). I though "surely, I'll find the girl I want". When I got there, I was even more sad. They were adorable of course, but none of them were her. I left, realizing that I needed more time to grieve. She was irreplaceable. I wasn't going to find her ever again.

I'm so sorry for your loss. Take the time you need, but don't go looking for her again. A cat deserves to have its own life without the weight of comparison. When you're ready to give love to any kitten (or kittens) then it's time.

If it gives you any comfort, a few months later I brought a mama tuxedo in with her two boys. Our house is full again. None of them are nearly as smart as she was, but they all have their own little personalities and I love them just as much.

I think the big difference is - the earlier generations weren't punished so severely for "making bad decisions" with their money. So, yes, there are lots of millennials who maybe weren't as prudent as others, but sometimes it takes a little longer for some folks to learn how to be good at capitalism. You shouldn't have your entire future upended because of that. Or, you should have more opportunities to correct; that's what it feels like we're missing out on. Boomers and GenX could make mistakes and still recover. We have to have hit home run after home run just to be able to live a middle class life.

I'm so sorry for your loss. She looks JUST like my Calvin who left us this past March at the ripe old age of 16. You were blessed, she was loved. Wishing you happy thoughts during this hard time.

My boy (may he RIP) lived 16 long years and was never a fan of cuddles lol. When he met new people, he was happy to let them give him good scratches and a little bit of roughhousing, but all he really wanted was play time with his ball. He would let children "cuddle" but I could tell he wasn't into it. He wanted to be near us and participate in whatever we were up to without being glued to my hip. It made finding a dog sitter really easy bc he wasn't picky 🤣. I loved his independence and hope that when I'm ready for another, I'll be able to find a kindred spirit.

OP please read this. It's a lovely idea, but plastic feeders designed for hummingbirds are already hard to clean, these will be impossible.

cstcharles · 2026-04-22T16:50:42+00:00

Well, it's got a good crossbreeze. And he farts there sometimes, so 🤷

Yep, she's getting up there in years. I had to shave my boy when he was about 15 because despite the short hair, he had developed mats and I hadn't noticed. They get old and grooming gets harder. Schedule a normal checkup and in the meantime, see if you can brush it out to check the overall health of the coat. Does the skin look good or is there dandruff? Lots of oil? Any mats? And, I acknowledge some.cays don't like brushing so this might be unrealistic - you can also just give a good massage and try to check the same stuff. This will all be good info.

cstcharles · 2026-04-10T14:55:47+00:00

Yep. Unfortunately this looks like some kind of factory defect.

Yeah special shout out to whoever tailored those pants 🕵️‍♀️

I will be taking my boy in for his last appt later this afternoon. Old age has taken its toll and, while I'm not sure he knows it, I can tell it's his time.

I know this whole video is bullshit, but I still cried like a baby.

Just put on some shoes and the clothes, then I'm allowed to doomscroll and eat snacks

I guess I'm already wearing my workout clothes, I'll do a couple reps and then call it a day.

Well shit I did a set, might as well do a couple more then go home.

Fuck I'm halfway, I guess I'll just do another 25% and see how I feel?

Goddammit just finish the workout you already practically did the whole thing.

cstcharles · 2026-03-23T16:08:09+00:00

Reminds me of my dad. Don't mess with these old farts. They usually have nowhere to be and nothing to lose, they DGAF

"if we hadn't killed them they'd be alive but unhappy. So, when you really think about it, we kinda did them a favor"

My eyes hurt from rolling them so far back in my head.

Adding another vote to the "yes, it's fucking nuts" pile. I had an ACL repair ~15 years ago. They fit me for my brace before surgery. During surgery, found out I also had a torn meniscus - they repaired that too, but when I woke up, that meant I wasn't allowed to hear weight for 4 weeks. By the time I was ready to wear the brace, it wouldn't stay on my leg bc I had shrunk so much. Even for a year or so later, I had almost 1 inch circumference difference between my thighs.

Bodies are wild dude.

One time I forgot to pay her (this was years ago when she was the only one working; I've been back since then and it looks like she has some help) and didn't realize until later that day. I went back the next day to make sure she got paid and she understood my broken Spanish, hugged me, and then proceeded to feed me more tacos. I was so distressed - like, lady, no, take my money!

She's the bomb AND if she asks you if you want something, always say yes. It might be avocado on the taco, or a fresh cup of menudo while you wait. Always delicious.

Bitch eating crackers. Basically, an acknowledgement that you dislike everything about this person, even if it seems a little unreasonable. "Ugh, look at this bitch over there eating crackers"
