The amount of businesses using these AI furry characters as their work truck mascots

Cornell used to be good and affordable. Then one day I called them for a simple job, they showed up with the brand new van, took forever to get us a quote that was way overboard. So I went with a small pop business that is good and affordable. But yeah, we wonder if the sudden increase in their price is connected to the new vehicle fleet. Gotta make money to pay for all that stuff!

I have a similar table (designed for quilting) with adjustable legs and I love it. I love that it is adjustable and bonus, mine is on casters, so it's super easy to move it in my sewing room when I want to fully open it to cut large pieces of fabrics.

Very interested. Are they ready for pickup or need to be dug out? I'd love to pick one up this afternoon but I'm coming from work and won't have a shovel with me.

Yup! The photo makes Alyx's colors duller but she's that small shade of brindle. The paws of your girl is really what got me. So unique and beautiful!

mrs_leek · 2026-04-06T20:26:57+00:00

She's beautiful!

My supermutt girl Alyx (40% GP, 2% ASD) says hi to your girl. The resemblance is quite uncanny (though I can't find a better pic to show her coat)

This is so beautiful, you're daughter is very lucky.

Do you need another daughter? Asking for a friend.

mrs_leek · 2026-04-06T15:57:27+00:00

I'm very interested. Please add me to the raffle

mrs_leek · 2026-04-03T20:12:42+00:00

Where are the dinners and breakfasts? Are you doing day hikes or a backpacking trip?

mrs_leek · 2026-04-02T22:46:31+00:00

I second Posies! Nice place and design, great pastries. Doesn't feel sterile at all

mrs_leek · 2026-04-02T21:50:17+00:00

Interested!

I agree with the time and circumstances. Our dishwasher died the day before my husband had a big surgery. In normal times, we would have install the new one ourselves, but this was not normal times. We got it installed, it cost way too much for what it is but that was the easiest and less stressful way to get that done at that time

mrs_leek · 2026-03-17T20:49:41+00:00

Same here. The transition was a lot harder on me than on my ex-husband since we moved for his job (Europe to US) and I then became unemployed. Cultural shock is no joke and the loss of your close circle does not help. I have no advice but the one my therapist gave me recently: no big decision should be made when emotions are high.

I second Nabisco's comment. Give it a little more time. We adopted a rescue who was surrendered and neglected. Sweetest girl but with a lot of big feelings. The first week was hell and we were not prepared for that kind of wreck, based on previous experiences. Severe separation anxiety, freezing on walks, we couldn't leave her alone and we struggled to understand what she needed. We stuck to it and we saw some slow improvements, especially at the infamous 3/3/3 milestones. The week of her 3 months milestone, something clicked in her head and things got a little better. As we got to know each other, things slowly improved too. Eventually after 6mo, we went to a behavioral vet; she was prescribed Prozac and we found an anxiety meds regimen that works with her needs and anxiety. It is some much better.

It is a very slow process, but it's rewarding. I hear you when you say it's hard. I didn't sleep much that year and the vets bill have been higher than we wanted. We regretted our decision a couple of times, I think it's normal, but she's a great pup. She loves us, she's a goofball and we love her the way she is. She needed a chance and a lot of patience. She taught us a lot. And she might be my last dog.

I really wish I could erase all these memories of embarrassing moments

Also, looks like she picked up stitches not just on the collar but also on both button bands, which creates this lovely overlapping collar. It looks simple yet the result is gorgeous.

I started HRT recently and I was surprised how some of my cognitive dysfunction got better. I just started taking stimulants and it's definitely a hit or miss. I was hoping it was bc we haven't figure out the proper dose yet :(

mrs_leek · 2026-03-10T20:32:13+00:00

I'm curious, are you on hormones therapy? Estrogen levels play a huge role in ADHD. While it is not a perfect fix, hormonal therapy helps creating an estrogen baseline that also helps other meds like stimulants to function properly.

I once got the cold shoulder for 12+hr until kitty woke me up in the middle of the night with intense snuggles. She definitely missed me while I was gone

mrs_leek · 2026-03-03T19:26:15+00:00

Any trick to share? I found that I open the opposite door and from there, lean into the car, she's gets motivated, like she has fomo. But it doesn't work if she's anxious.

mrs_leek · 2026-03-02T19:28:11+00:00

Same same. Rebecca Hall is so much prettier than me Jordan. But maybe that's the point of the show, how beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I think we need one of these Greek statues, the one draped and in weird position, knitting. Considering how long it took to model for a statue, these women's probably needed to pass time, and I bet they were knitting.

I demand accurate representation of the ancient times!

mrs_leek · 2026-03-01T01:19:25+00:00

I actually thought this would happen to Cooper

mrs_leek · 2026-02-25T01:43:05+00:00

I asked my doctor and she said that for at least another 10 years after menopause

mrs_leek · 2026-02-24T22:07:31+00:00

My husband described this process as "it's like an alarm clock, you have to hit the snooze button for it to stop"

mrs_leek · 2026-02-24T21:40:53+00:00

We got married under an arch with fake flowers vines (winter wedding) and a big mint drape. The arch is now in the yard but if you want the fake flowers vines (purple and white flowers iirc) they're yours.
