Out of curiosity, what have you found was useful for the body? That’s a much more problematic area for me than my face (which is unfortunately what most skincare seems to focus on).

Aww, what a cutie! Thank you for that, and the good thoughts.

a gem of a story illustrating the fact that Trump’s trying to play “Grand Theft America” on a brain that is running WordPerfect on a Windows 95 floppy disk.

That is what the vet suggested as most likely yesterday, and apparently she’s feeling much better today (whew!), still eating and drinking normally, so if she continues to improve, I’m guessing the former? We’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on her either way.

She does! It is definitely one of my favorite things about her coming out of her shell over the years.

Interesting... Regency’s offices are located upstairs in the building I used to work in. Some of the people who worked up there had some... interesting proclivities, as I recall.

One of my all-time favorite .gifs! Bless.

I don’t get it, either. People were telling me for years how amazing the chicken is, so I finally tried it, I can’t remember when, since I had some promo thing that let me do so for free. I was completely underwhelmed. I said so, and then was told, “Oh, but the biscuits are really where it’s at!” Yeah, no, those were…

Thus far it seems to be pain/discomfort, and some blood in her urine. (She actually ended up going yesterday outside her box — out on the balcony — and then legit stared at my mom while meowing at her, just to signal to her to notice, which: good girl, smart kitty! It’s a lot harder to notice stuff like that once it…

GOODNESS, I can’t even handle how sweet that is. Symmetrical beautiful babies! So cute!

1) BEAUTIFUL kitty, my goodness. I want to give him many pets.

Thank you!

Thank you! I still can’t believe I even caught that photo, she normally loves to do that diva cat thing where they’re hyper aware of the camera and won’t look at you while it’s out, haha.

Totally understandable! We figure Stella has to be somewhere in the age 10-15 bracket, but we’ll never be sure.

I totally get it. We had to put down my first when he was about 14 (he didn’t make it a full year after lost our golden retriever to a tumor; they’d grown up together, and he was never the same after the dog died), and that was... good god, about 10 years ago now? I still miss him.

Aww, what a sweetie! I love all kitties, but ever since we took Stella in I’ve grown especially biased toward black kitties. The best!

Thank you! It’s especially tough this time around, because at least with my first cat, I was still living at home at the time, so my mom and I could handle it together, even though it was traumatic. The idea of anything serious happening to Stella while I’m 100+ miles away is really upsetting. Especially as I have a…

I don’t think I’ve ever been so early to one of these SNS posts before, wow!

Yeah, it’s a very common misconception that succulents are somehow a low maintenance type of plant. They’re really not, especially if you’re not living in a climate like where they tend to grow wild. Even when you are, the wrong combination of sun and water will still kill them, just like any other plant.

I was only exposed to three John Hughes movies growing up — Home Alone, The Breakfast Club, and Ferris Beuller’s Day Off — and the latter two have bits that definitely haven’t aged well, though Breakfast Club has easily suffered the most of that trio.
