The surgery that gutted her like a fishie from stem to stern and then the two weeks of delicate care for her. She decided to grow things inside herself (not cancerous, luckily) but still, you know. Bad.

It was insanely expensive. My mother paid as we couldn’t.

Mother herself has a medically delicate cat, who is actually staying over currently so I can take care of her medical needs while the cat yells at me about how I’m not perfect. But I’m okay at taking care of her. So I get the honor of doing whatever the cat wants, immediately.

Local place is the best here. I’m not sure why a chain would try in NJ with our amazing totally better than NYC pizza.

Sometimes I get coupons for domino’s so I’ll get them, but honestly the local place is the best. The very best local place closed during covid, so the other local place is one now (there are three other local places for pizza, but they pretty blah). I miss your, pizza place that was probably a front, you had the best Greek pizza ever.

It’s such an amazing episode, one of their best!

I thought they died on that train, and because they died they were brought to the end times/ revelations? It’s been a long long time since I read all the Narnia books though. I just remember lines of creatures coming before Totally Not Jesus and being judged as stars fell from the skies?

…or is that what’s happening in an isekai, and I’ve just not realized it?

I’ll turn the frozen ravioli into cooked ravioli, and then for dessert we’ll have some mint chocolate chip ice cream.

Currently I’m hiding in the bedroom with the stronger AC to get away from the heat.

Lemon drop martini! Love lemons, love sugar, tolerate vodka!

It’s the easiest thing to use, as it clings to the snap traps. Other items can fall out.

Sometimes they manage to lick the traps clean without them going off. One day, a better mouse trap…

Peanut butter smells bad. Peanut butter smells like mouse traps.

No one else could set them (disabled, or cried about it) so it was all on me

Can’t stand the smell of peanut butter now

“Hand in unlovable hand” really hits sometimes!

Fleas are annoying. When my cats got them bad or was weeks of cleaning all the “soft fabricy things”, vacuuming, and flea baths.

Now is down to just a dose of advantage flea medicine on the back of her neck once a month (and still washing a lot, but she’s much better now)

I can only recommend advantage for the flea medicine in the back of neck. We tried a cheaper off brand and she was like…got very sick. Vet said it can happen, so I went back to the only one that she tolerates well.

I’d suggest a stand mixer, but even those have gone down hill, even brands like kitchenaid have gotten worse.

Maybe some old pyrex, if you can find some. The new stuff is bad, can’t recommend that.

IT LOOKED LIKE THIS https://archive.org/details/0x-0_20221225

So it seems like BOINC or… SETI at home? Or what it was?

Edit - I looked them up. They’re not going anymore it seems, ‘no longer distributing tasks’. Alas!

I am absolutely unsure, and think any information I have about it comes from like 20 years ago. Is it that old? I thought it was pretty old. I remember a news report about it, like on the TV proper. The screensaver was like…little bars of color coming towards the camera, continuously going forward until it filled up and restarted. The spike bars were meant to be like…the data from outerspace. If there was a tall bar, it could be anomalous!

I have an extremely shitty memory, so this is exactly all the information I have.

I remember this thing way way way back when, and it was mentioned in the news? It had some kind of really neat visualization thing screensaver? Lines and lines of colors, with some spikes, going from further back towards the viewer and…

I couldn’t find that part again. I loved that, need the useless neat part

It sounds very tasty, as cheese and chili are both delicious!

I hadn’t thought about it being a coping mechanism for the child, the ‘fairy’ ‘rescuing’ the rabbit when it was just everything got burned anyways. I like the interpretation! Now I’m sad!

Huh, I was told a story of my father in law having the same thing happen to him, but luckily for them it only burned the electronics that were plugged into the antenna, and one tv that was too close to a radio that also got screwed up. Never got to meet the man though, unfortunately.

I suppose the anti cat gate. Got it because new kitten wasn’t getting along with adult cat. Kitten continued to not get along despite doing everything and asking the vet for more advice.

Kitten is with my mother and her cats and he gets along with both of them.

The anti cat gate stands there, expensively.

Haha, it was a minor flag but it’s good! A lot of bachelors just seem to not have them. Even though they’re useful in more than “once a month I must have one” kind of way!

Local gaming store. I joined one of the tabletop rpgs. We talked a lot after this. He had cats which endeared me to him. I met his cats. His cats liked me. He also had a trashcan in the bathroom so I knew he was smart. We’ve been together uhhhh 17 years this December I think.
