This is what I keep saying too. To believe that so many people would keep a secret is just insane. Like the conspiracy about the NFL being rigged. It’s not even just the number of people involved and the passage of time. With all the egos on any given team, there’s no way all the players, the coaches, and everybody else would roll over and throw a game just because that was "the plan"for that year.
I’m working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It’s been helpful to study celebrity faces because it’s easy to find numerous reference photos. I’ve actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it’s been harder to find...
Your pic isn’t loading for me, which makes me sad. But Calcifer reminds me of our boy who we joked could smell his mommy’s tears. When my husband and I raised voices at each other, Sir Kitty ('03-'20) would come and yell at us, get on my lap, and get up in my face until we stopped to pet him, which seemed to be the only thing that would calm him.
Murphy is 20 years old and is deaf now, but still jumps up onto my lap and occasionally chases after strings. They told us he was found in a storm drain. He has been with us through 4 moves, the last time being just a week ago where he survived a 17-hour drive in a cramped car and pooping in a moving vehicle. He is a survivor and a sweetheart.
He loves rump smacks (cat bongos) and this rug. He especially loves rump smacks while on this rug.
Sir Kitty would sometimes appear “lost in thought” while lying on his back. The first time I saw him like this, I was seriously worried he was no longer alive because he wasn’t moving and wouldn’t respond to me calling to him.
I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for “those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell”. I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling....
Gypsy peppers, botanically classified as Capsicum annuum, are a hybrid variety belonging to the Solanaceae or nightshade family. The peppers are also known as Cubanelle peppers, and are a hand-bred cross between a sweet pepper and a bell pepper. Gypsy peppers are a popular home garden variety in the United States, favored for their thin skin, sweet flavor, and ability to be harvested at any stage in maturity.
In my younger days of hitting the club, I would use it every time I went out. Wallet in right back pocket, lip gloss in small pocket.
I never use it now. Now it’s wallet in left back pocket, phone in right back pocket, keys in right front pocket, earbuds in left front pocket. If I’m working and wearing cargo pants, work gloves go in left back pocket and wallet shifts to a more secure left leg pocket, pens and box cutter in right leg pocket.
Our little (6months) Nori girl, has just been to the vet to get castrated. What a champ she was! She’s now recovering from the surgery, giving her unlimiteds (and much deserved) amounts of cuddles....
I have a senior cat who needs a pill every day. He’s on a restricted diet for chronic kidney disease so I avoid giving him treats. What I do is give him the pill by putting it down his throat right before feeding him, so the food itself is the treat. He’s super used to the process now.
I made this some years ago for my niece who I think was around 6 years old at the time. I’m very happy with how it turned out. Sorry, I don’t remember what pattern I used. I stuffed it with old socks and T-shirts that I cut into pieces.
A plus side to old Murphy being deaf (i.imgur.com)
We had new floors put in today and Murphy was oblivious to the noise that would otherwise stress out a hearing cat.
