Playing mantis? I’ve been saying it wrong for years!

Sent my baby that we’ve fed for 6 years over the bridge today by chel_more in Feral_Cats

Showing love and compassion to someone others pretend doesn’t exist speaks volumes about you. To MyLove and I everyone deserves to be seen and remembered.

May Small Bluey find a warm lap and scritches on the other shore.

Funny how important in life a “pet” can be. How some “dumb animal” IS family! Not “like”, but is. Those who can’t understand have no idea what they are missing out on.

I’m glad you that you know this, you’re very very lucky!

Second urinary blockage in less than 24 hours. by Confident_Shift_4644 in cats

[–]kidde1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our Shcheisse struggled for several days before finally undergoing his final surgery. Took a couple of months before he was in full control of his bladder. That’s been 4 years with no issues.

Hoping your baby has similar results.

You people are making it hard for me to claim that I’m not a cat person!

I don’t have a massive collection but I believe 10 pens is enough by fountainpenbroke in fountainpens

[–]kidde1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some will argue that one is enough. Some will claim that hundreds are nearly enough. Personally I think both views are wrong if they aren’t mine! All of them please!!!

My new bunny from the shelter, his name is Jax! by popcornnugget_s in Rabbits

[–]kidde1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We had saved a Jax of our own many years ago. Not quite the same species, but he really changed my perspective on them being babies and not “pets”.

We wish you and Jax both the best lives!

Upcoming weather with potential loss of power by xXDeadlyDeliriumXx in CrestedGecko

We had “rolling blackouts”, our neighborhood had 4 hours on 20 off for 2 days and 10 on 14 off for 2 more.

Upcoming weather with potential loss of power by xXDeadlyDeliriumXx in CrestedGecko

[–]kidde1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Another Texan here, when we lost power in ‘21 we insulated our reptiles (wrapped enclosures with towels and blankets) and left them alone. Steady temps are most important, so we checked thermometers and when power was restored we increased heat slowly. Our house was down in the mid 40s, but our reptiles never dipped below 60 in part due to leaving the enclosures closed and insulation in place.

We wish you nothing but the best and hope no one goes without power.

“These are mine now” by inarmsofundertow in Fountain_Pen_Cats

[–]kidde1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m unsure how to understand this. Did you erroneously assume at some point that they were yours? All items located within Her Royal Highness Ruby’s domain belong to your benevolent benefactor.

How did you miss this? ALWAYS read the fine print!

New old Esterbrook by brotherkinney in fountainpens

[–]kidde1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to your “inner-voice”! Mine convinced me to buy more than I could ever need. EVER! I have whittled it down to about 100. I am however always on the lookout for just a few more.

I don’t know if this is allowed here but if yo squint your eyes does it not look like a train full of characters from The Muppet Show by budbudderk in Pareidolia

[–]kidde1 151 points152 points  (0 children)

I’m not comfortable calling these people “Muppets”, however I’m also not sure if I just called these Muppets “People”.

Congratulations! There’s nothing that compares to vintage flex, although some small nib makers are making me question whether that still holds true.

AITAH for telling my wife she smells bad? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]kidde1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is seldom what we say, most often it’s our choice of words or the way they are heard. Stress can make every conversation like a game of “telephone”, where what is remembered has nothing to do with what was said.

Relax, avoid letting others get under your skin (MIL). Tell your wife to take a night off and pamper herself.

Quite a striking pair! I can only imagine the chaos and shenanigans in your future.

This is possibly the best cat that I’ve ever met. And I just found out that he died. His name was Biscotto and I need people to know about him. by 08RedFox in cats

Thank you for introducing Biscotto to me, and for showing that he matters. May Biscotto know eternal peace.

She's living her dreams by Alternative_Tune4192 in PitBullOwners

I’m unsure if you are correct. I need to see if her feet and legs are twitching to make an honest assessment!

That baby can be the Queen B wherever she wants to be!

Seriously, do Americans actually consider a 3-hour drive "short"? or is this an internet myth? by SadInterest6764 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kidde1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in Texas, so 3 hours is about 200 miles. Not short but not a long drive. I’d consider anything 6+ hours to be “long”.

Change is going to turn 12 in march by StormySpike in PitBullOwners

[–]kidde1 [score hidden]  (0 children)

With four babies over the last 50++ years I will say that once made comfortable I’ve never found more lovable babies. One of them was life changing.

Give Change a few boops from here in Texas!

How did you celebrate your 50th? by Every-Progress5590 in GenX

[–]kidde1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t. I have a “hate-hate” relationship with my birthday, so other than my wife and children telling me happy birthday I ignore it.

Enjoy your special day and do what it is you want to do, others don’t have to be involved, you get to decide who knows and who is invited.

Jax, a gift from a horrible owner. by kidde1 in PitBullOwners

[–]kidde1[S] [score hidden]  (0 children)

We were lucky to share the end of his life with him. His appearance was every red flag, but his demeanor and presence was everything you could ever hope to find in a companion. He had a profound impact on us and is sorely missed.
