Helena Maquire is a favorite vintage cat artist of mine... all her cats had such sweet little faces and never look like they’re up to no good. <3

I haven’t seen that one either... yet another to add to my watch list! :)

When I was a little kid, one of my relatives told me that if someone killed the president, they got to be the new president. I believed that for longer than most kids believe in Santa Claus. :/

I’ve never seen that one, but I’ll add it to my list of ones to watch! :)

This is one Christmas movie I watch every year... I’m happy to see it featured here, because no one I’ve mentioned it to has ever heard of it.

They should’ve checked the rest of the products, too. Maybe the whole lot was bad. Ugh.

Ugh, they shouldn’t, though. I work in retail and at my store at least, if something is returned and not sealed, it is marked and disposed of.

Yep, Walgreens does also. I returned a pack of face wipes I had an allergic reaction to at Target, also, so I know they (used to, at least) take back used products.

That is pretty much my plan to feed me and my cats if anything bad happens. Apocolypse, lose my job, etc...

You forgot human flesh.

YEah, I know there are kids in my apartment complex, but I never seem to get many Trick-or-Treaters... maybe one or two, if any. My patio is decorated, and I bought a small amount of candy, but I’m kind of torn between turning off the lights and drinking alone in the dark with my cats, and putting on people clothes…

Sorry, I’m not trying to twist your words. If a person has no experience with owning a pet, they may not realize what vet bills can cost. They might look at how much dog food costs, see that there is a free neutering clinic/ shot clinic at the humane society near them every few months, and think they can work it into…

A lot of people point out that it can be so much cheaper to cook healthy, but ignore the fact that cooking is a learned skill that requires time, planning, and access to certain ingredients. They don’t realize that a lot of people have been raised eating processed crap, and don’t have the faintest idea of how to start…

I have cats, got them when I had more money, and there’s no fucking way I’d get rid of them when I went through more difficult financial times. There were plenty of weeks I was left with less than $10 for my own groceries after I got the basics of what they needed. Pets aren’t a “right” but they can be a source of…

I’ve tried this before, and it isn’t that simple. I was lucky enough to have a bike (a lot of people can’t afford to “drop $100” or even $50 on a crap bike). What I was spending to wash my clothes doubled, since I needed something to wear on the way to work, and something to change into once I got there (in a warm…

Also, gardening is a skill, just like cooking. If you go in without the proper skills, you can ruin everything and waste whatever amount of time and money you spent on the attempt. And sure, there are books that can teach the basics of these skills at libraries, but public libraries aren’t always easily accessable to…

If they were to take public transportation for a month, I think the reality of living without a car might enlighten them a bit. But even then, they still wouldn’t be dealing with the time it takes to get to a laundromat (I’m guessing they have a washer/ dryer in their home), and wouldn’t be dealing with the issues…

Your comments here are so ignorant, it’s shocking. You think because YOU have time to cook, EVERYONE has time to cook. Many people have multiple jobs and rely on public transportation. Many of these jobs are far, far more exhausting and demoralizing than your own, especially when you consider the differences in…

He’s pointed out that the breadmaker cost him $10 at a thrift store, while ignoring the fact that not everyone has time or transportation to frequently browse around such stores in hopes that there will be such excellent deals on working appliances, and the fact that thrift stores in poorer areas tend to have crappier…

There are plenty of people who work two or three jobs, surely you can see how that can translate into working EVERY day of the week, and surely you can try to imagine how that might eat up vast amounts of their time if they don’t have a car and rely on public transportation. And while I’ve always been interested in…
