She was frighteningly thin because she mess up her metabolism by surviving a famine during the second world war. She also risked her life working with & for the Dutch resistance, which is even more cool of her when you realize her parents where Nazi sympathizers & she was going against them as well. Yeah she was…

She was part of the Dutch Resistance and was a UNICEF Ambassador. She was an incredible person (according to those who were closest with her), and cared deeply about others.

By the way, her “frighteningly thin” physique had a lot to do with having nearly starved to death as a child, leaving her with a lifetime of health problems that made gaining fat and muscle difficult. By all accounts, she ate; she just couldn’t gain. If designers loved her for her tiny frame, that says some concerning…

She was not personally dull at all. And she was frightfully thin because she was frightfully starved during WW2 in Belgium and the Netherlands, fleeing the Nazis.

She recalled eating tulip bulbs during the war. That’s why, in addition to UNICEF, she worked with CARE. She remembered what it was like to be hungry.

This.

I wouldn’t call her dull. She was thin because she was incredibly malnourished during WWII, and suffered a lot of health problems due to it. She did many tremendous things to assist the Dutch Resistence against the Nazis. She put herself in danger to distribute anti-Nazi pamphlets and she delivered messages for the…

She was frighteningly thin because she suffered from the effects of five years of prolonged malnutrition that left her with permanent health problems after surviving the Dutch famine during World War II. (She was also a heavy smoker but so was kind of everyone.)

thin you say:

As an actress, I don’t really have an opinion of her. I honestly haven’t seen much of her work. She was an amazing philanthropist, though. During WW2 she worked as courier for the Dutch resistance and danced for secret fundraising events. After she retired from acting she was the Goodwill Ambassador for UNICEF and…

No, she was a bad-ass, incredibly enlightened humanitarian. Audrey forever.

Also, honey is the food of the gods and you will pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Those cute, fluffy cats have all the behavioral hardwiring of their big, wild cousins. With ferals it’s front and center because it’s needed for survival, but it’s there in all of them, feral or not.

People who are that stupid should be spayed or neutered. Ye gods.

See? Evil. Sure, they’re cute and fluffy but they can also eat your face. Animals are still animals, no matter how many time we try to do their hair.

I want to clarify my meaning when I typed “...but the truth is that some animals belong wild,” because I think it can be read, and I think perhaps it has been read, with a meaning I didn’t intend.

Absolutely. It is unspeakably cruel to the animal and dangerous to the people around.

if you decide to invade an animal’s territory you deserve all the fucking up they hand out.

Okay, one: that is NOT a LITTLE otter. That thing is like a yard long. Two, if you decide to invade an animal’s territory you deserve all the fucking up they hand out.

Excellent point. An animal is still an animal - even a domesticated pet dog will eat your face off is provoked. And everyone knows cats are evil. Mine certainly is.
