I find that once I acclimatize, 77-80 is actually fairly comfortable if you dress appropriately and have fans around.

Than you for posting these and bringing this situation to the attention of those of us in the west. I’m wiping my eyes right now.

Your spiritual sister!

I’ve just installed a heat pump (yesterday!). I don’t need a/c for most of the summer; my house is shaded by a big tree at the front, and I put a white roof on last fall, so it tends to stay cool unless it’s in the upper 80's (30 C) for more than a couple of days. As for heating; Toronto has been having warmer…

My workplace is the same; sweaters, heavy socks and we use a heater in our office, while the a/c is on. Ridiculous.

I’m Canadian, so I laugh at your “winter” woes.

Oh my god! What a cutie pie! Love the fluffy Princess Leia buns/ears.

FINALLY they have fixed the comments!

To FusilliJerry; kinja won’t let me access your comment, or in fact any comments of yours (I spent a half an hour trying!), but Yoda is adorable! Good for you for taking him in. Neutering will likely help with his aggressive play, but don’t give in to temptation and let him use your hands as toys; hands are for…

Same! And I’m having trouble accessing comments from approved commenters too.

A green hobbit door sounds adorable. Can you unbatter the door? Sanding, wood filler, etc.?

There are two Bengals in my neighbourhood who roam around; they wear gps locators, and the owners bring them in for the night.

Coffee is just stunning; that classic tabby pattern gorgeous.

There’s a running gag in the graphic novel The Punisher: Welcome back Frank. He’s trying to go straight, and has moved into a new apartment and all the neighbours are really friendly, including one woman who bakes cookies.

No, they do not. Not in the U.K. No large cats like cougars, and no wolves. No large predators left.

Ice packs! Ice packs!

My door is currently a blue-green, but I’ve always wanted a high gloss red door, like Chinese lacquer.

Much improved!

I think everyone gets them; no judgement. 

What we know in our heads, and what we feel in our hearts can be two diametrically opposed things.
