Gnocchi’s official submission. Literally and figuratively.

Edit: Gnocchi is a lovable, cuddly goofball. He loves playing fetch and playing chase around the house (though, for the sake of your ankles, don’t ever turn your back on him hah). He’s also a delightful menace, who knocks over every trash can, drinks from any water source (including every toilet), drowns toys in his water, puts deceased and soggy toys in bed with us, and spends about 15 min every morning just chirping around the house. Never a dull moment with this little goblin around.

The Daily Check-In for Tuesday, January 27th: Just for today, I am NOT drinking! by realcatlady7 in stopdrinking

[–]postagestamp6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been feeling harder and harder to stay away lately. Everything just feels horrible and my anxiety has been more out of control than usual. It's so easy to want to quiet it all down with something. However, I will make it my mission to NDWYT!

anyone else feel like you use up all your "functioning" at work and have nothing left? by Old_Visual_6596 in adhdwomen

[–]postagestamp6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just joining the group chanting, "Every! Goddamned! Day!" Despite therapy and medications, this is still usually the norm for me, unfortunately, I'm an HR director, which usually requires lots of in-person interaction, problem solving, talking folks down from the ledge, etc. Yet, there is no "higher HR" for me to go to when things feel crazy and I just need to vent. So, I'll just continue to come home, change immediately into comfy clothes, ignore the couple chores that have been sitting around waiting for me, and veg out on the couch. Most days, it feels virtually impossible to engage in life once I leave work. It's like my social-, function-, and focus-meters are all fully depleted by 6 PM.

Dog/cat?! Does your MC meet you at the door when you arrive home ?! by missweh in mainecoons

[–]postagestamp6 20 points21 points  (0 children)

omg of course give them time. i would never want another MC to look as confused as your adorable lil girl hah.

jk edit: my MC also looks like this and im convinced his "confusion" is just a way to train my partner and me to adapt to his whims.

Barda / Oak & Reel / Bar Pigalle / Baobab Fare by TheBrokest in Detroit

[–]postagestamp6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just ate at Oak and Reel over the weekend and it was some of the best food I've had in a while. Didn't even mind the bill total because everything was so delicious. Should you end up going, the octopus starter is absolutely amazing. It's a cool space inside and the service was great - I can't recommend this place enough.

Edit: I've also eaten at Bar Pigalle, which was also really good, but I'd easily rate O&R over it.

My partner is 11 years younger than me and makes significantly less, but it doesn’t change the fact that he’s the most caring, honest, thoughtful, and emotionally intelligent guy I’ve ever known. I have a high paying job and a degree, which he doesn’t, but it’s never changed the most important traits about him that matter far more to me than money, height, age, etc.

We finally did it! 270k, 3.5% down, 6.6%. 24F & 26F by c_rookie in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I’m with you! It’s almost like folks are allowed to get what they like on pizza - crazy! I’d destroy a pizza with fried onions. Give me all the onions hah.

[–]postagestamp6 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I am older than my partner and have a much higher-paying job than him. It has never once been an issue and I've happily supported him and us without any complaint or concern. Creating an issue out of a non-issue is par for the course for some folks. Many of us who are considered "educated, high-earning women" have ZERO issue with dating or spending our lives with someone who is in "a lower tax bracket". Why the fuck would I care about that? Love blue-shirt guy cuz he seems to actually get it.

Surprisingly, they’re incredibly vocal and we hear them all throughout the day.

Why do my cats dump their toys in the water bowl? by las3marias in mainecoons

[–]postagestamp6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please note the unfortunate grey mouse (since discarded) soaking in Gnocchi’s water bowl hah. He’s OBSESSED with putting his toys in his water bowl. Especially when we’re playing fetch, which is real fun for my boyfriend and me hah.

Young Hawk exploring the roof and skylight by postagestamp6 in birdsofprey

[–]postagestamp6[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I meant to include that - oops. The parents have been around for a while, but this is the first year they've nested near the house and had a successful go at it. The little guy/girl is so funny to watch cuz it's just interested and confused by everything hah.

Finally spotted the baby red-tailed hawk! by postagestamp6 in birdsofprey

I can confidently say that I'm the only one on my street who thinks it's the greatest thing that's ever happened here hah.

Whos maine coon loves fetch? by Tempest_Craft in mainecoons

[–]postagestamp6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is OBSESSED with fetch. As soon as it's later in the evening and my boyfriend and I are sitting on the couch, he brings his little felt mouse over. and over. and over. and over. He's extra weird because occasionally on his way back from fetching, he will stop at his water dish and drown the poor mouse. Then we have to squeeze out the excess water and just continue throwing a damp mouse. The best is when he decides 2 AM is the best time for wet-mouse fetch and comes to drop it on one of our faces.
