My coworkers took me shooting twice and IIRC I’ve shot an AR-15 (they are indeed nice to shoot), a bolt action rifle, a 45, shotgun, and a bunch of other stuff I can’t begin to explain. But, since my brother’s suicide with a 22 I want literally nothing to do with guns.

Here in Southern California we can get by without a/c on account of $$$ (I do), but you’re going to have a few crappy days/nights in the summer where a box fan doesn’t cut it.

It’s my birthday and I fed a tiger today!

Welcome! This group is so freaking friendly - hope you enjoy your foray out of lurkerdom.

We only get tons of jerkface coyotes in my super suburban area. Raccoons are actually something you get up to go look at!

I’ve lived in California my whole life and earthquakes are nbd but Lord help me not lose my shit at the idea of a tornado. I cannot with the midwest.

But they’re so cuddly.

Spice weasels, spice gulls...there’s something for everyone!

I was the biggest of the kids at 9-9 and it only just now occurred to me that I might have destroyed my mom’s junk. I am really afraid to birth a child my size.
