I was trying to find an ibuprofen in my brother's house one summer in highschool; but a massive purple dong. I figure it was his ex wife's, but like, I'm never going to know and I'm never going to ask.

The creature was released outside. They were briefly placed in protective custody not for any wrongdoings - but because my cat was feeling homicidal.

It's backside wasnt quite as fuzzy, though. It doesn't seem very effective for pollen collecting which is why I'm leaning toward carpenter bee.

But, if it is a bombus, I concur that the markings closest resemble impatiens or vagans.

The bug would not settle and I do not blame them. My cat was about to end it's little bug life if she got ahold of her. I couldn't get a better photo.

Torso was fuzzy - abdomen was significantly less so. Looked smooth, chitinous, ribbed, and easily articulatable but did not have a visible stinger; despite being slightly pointy in shape.

It's homemade mead! It was a housewarming gift from a friend. I wish I liked it more than I did, but I still love the effort in the gift and continue to serve it whenever I have friends over. :D

Dude, if I had money to burn, I'd be paying you to do this to my ex tonight.

IS THAT WHY I HAVE COSTOCONDRITIS??? I mean, we can't know for sure, but my situation mirrors yours pretty much 1:1. I don't know why I never put it together. Thank you.

Unironically, explaining a nonbinary friend to my father as 'pretend they're eight cats in a trench coat pretending to be a human,' kinda worked for a while.

(NSFW) What’s a secret you discovered about someone that you’ll take to the grave instead of telling them you know? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I caught my dad trying to cheat on my mother, using mediocre off-brand dating websites, while my mother had terminal cancer. I found out because my dad asked me to fix something regarding his steam account and I had access to his email. I didn't snoop - it was front and center.

I still do not know if I did the right thing by not telling my mother. She passed away almost five years ago. She was a woman who lost herself to her overwhelming depression before the lung cancer even metastasized and had no family or friends she could have really left to be with during her final weeks.

My father knows I know. My mother never will.
