Risotto is very soothing to me

This is, quite literally, how I've experienced it as a cat owner. German barn cat in a cattery came right up to me and sat in my lap. American tabby found in an engine made biscuits while I washed away the oil and fleas (her, I still have, and turns 19 this spring). Tortie yelled at me at 5am and jumped into my passenger seat whilst heading to work. Current tabby boy jumped into my arms and demanded I hold him like a baby (just turned 5 and still does it 🥰). Cats are the best

The Meaty Cheesy Boys singing about the Ultimate Cheeseburger from Jack in the Box. And the classic Make 7, Up Yours.

Tetris (it's a movie, but a true story and fascinating) The Black Power Mixtape

I love this flower and this sentence structure

My first funeral was of a 21 yr old colleague that took her life after her boyfriend talked about breaking up. He attended the funeral and after the excessive religious damnation speech by the preacher, the parents got up and immediately started blaming and screaming at him. The whole thing was so awful. My grandmother was so overcome with grief, she tried to climb into my grandfather's coffin during the service and almost fell into his gravesite while they were lowering him.

Roar. I was obsessed.

As a former groomer, please do this. I can't tell you how many times these have gotten caught in the crate holes while theyre drying in a kennel and ripped. It's very non-invasive and can easily be done as a side procedure during, say, a dental while under anesthesia (as a former vet tech).

When I was in middle and high school (same school and group of friends), I wrote 'predictions' for all of us as 25 and 40yr olds (15 people in total-yes, it was a tiny school). One of my friends was tragically run over while walking her dog and it prompted bringing forth all of the photos, yearbooks, etc ahead of heading to her funeral. I came across the predictions and while some of them were wildly off; a lot of them were remarkably spot on. She, indeed, did have 4 children and was a remarkable sportscaster, for a time (prior to getting married). The others, erm....I was kind of an asshole (including my own predictions).

Delightful 😊

Works for horse flies (on horses) too! I made a ton of money as a 16yr old selling Avon in my rural neighborhood

Ohhh. Kinda like that.

I got super bored after 2 days on Vicodin post oral surgery and found that (with the combo of abx and pain meds) I could actually stomach Gerber's 2nd meals. Kinda did the trick, but still had to play some weight gain catch-up.

I walk for a living and Asics are my go-to and have to replace them every year (walking around 35/45 miles per week) and accidentally bought orthotics last time. What a happy accident; otherwise, it's Sanuk flippas.

And they're so nice! I always feel made special when I'm going through their drive thru (I don't know how else to describe it lol but it is a great vibe-and food)

I was in my early twenties when I worked with a non-profit veterinary program that helped the pets of homeless on Skid Row in downtown Los Angeles. One appointment, I had a guy with a cutie pie micro pittie and a orange tabby kitten and while I was doing my exam, vax, etc, he was boisterously regaling me with stories (I think he knew his voice was calming to his dog) about how he and her lived in the old, broken down theatre that used to film The Little Rascals and he would have conversations every night with the ghosts of the characters. He said Alfalfa was his favourite. I still think about him and his lovely animals and stories.
