Which reminds me… The best thing about giving your pet people names, is eventually somebody with that name will become a fixture in your life and then you get to refer to them as “Human Dave” and still call the pet Dave.

I do recall that my coworker’s son got himself wedged between the stove and fridge, so #3 is plausible for Human-Jennifer.

Spell of toes curling

Friend mentioned that when a similar thing happened at his University, the frats just had “gatherings” instead of “parties” and that was ok with the administration… (probably decades ago, so a slightly different environment)

…but, louder.

When I moved from the Northwoods of Wisconsin to Los Angeles (Burbank), a lot of changes were to be expected… The one I didn’t expect was the total lack of thunder n lightning despite rain storms that would flood the streets. I think I was out here at least 6 years before I heard any thunder and that was a one-time event. Been here for almost 29 yrs now, and I can probably count the number on one hand.

This is the way

Ya, I’m kinda torn… All the things you mention, but then there’s my ADHD which makes objects disappear from existence if I don’t see them.

Yay. Spent a lot of time taming the barn cat kittens so they could get homes when I was a kid…

Looks like a young version of our FuzzButts. We finally nabbed him off of the street about a year ago. He’s FiV+, so is somewhat isolated from our other cats. He’s still working on getting properly socialized with humans, but is a big sweetheart when he does relax. Can’t find a pic, but I did find this short vid of a mocking bird pulling his tail when he was still outside.

The wilds; they call… Pretty sure I could be a happy well-adjusted hermit, but my wife and family keep me from running off to amass my racoon army. I focus my energy on creating a backyard jungle that lets me pretend that I’m not trapped in suburbia.

That’s the sort of thing that would have changed the direction of an entire ancient empire…

Oh, wow! twinsies

I think they were new ones for the movie they made back then

Daww, so cute. Little Lily lost in the fluff

These two were also inseparable. Usually lil Eddie would also be in the snuggle. Here is Tobie enjoying Bobby’s wonderful fuzzy tummy. Bobby was a jerk that terrorized the other cats, but then we got two kittens and he became the best uncle ever… Tobie would always shove his face in Bobby’s tummy; even when Tobie got to be ~2x Bobby’s size.

“Maintains consistent snacking preferences” the most specific one “Owns rasps” If it really got me, it would call me out on what I usually use Amazon for…   Last minute project stuff.

Can you please fix me so that I can say “no”?

That seems like the most technically correct answer

My friend suggested “A Surrender”

Heck of a way to find you that you’re immortal.
