I haven’t seen that since I was a kid, but I still remember this part: “Eleven! Your dragon fire melts my eyes.”

I might not even have the quote right but that’s what kid-me remembers.

That ALAB sounds right up my alley, thanks.

You are an amazing cat parent. 🥹

Wow, I’m so glad you didn’t live far and you got her out. Did you just have to call to her to get her down from there or did you have to climb up?

First car was a pre-owned white '91 Ford Escort GT that I named Gypsy Jo. She was my traveling companion and served me well until some uninsured bitch rear-ended me.

Second car was Moonshadow, a brand-new blue '99 Honda Civic Si. He saw me through a bad breakup and we had many adventures together. I sold him to a car enthusiast in 2016 for $6500.

Current car is a pre-owned black 2011 Subaru Impreza Outback named Ira. He saw me safely on a long 14-hour drive when I recently moved.

Then Polly was very lucky you happened to be visiting that day. It could’ve been so bad for her.

Such a fitting name. 😆

Thank you for sharing all the pictures. I love the different names and your write-ups. Jethro seems like such a character. We always imagined our Murphy to be a rough-houser like that, but we never had a dog and our other two cats wouldn’t it.

Murphy’s “scream”:

I have never been in a store with a cat but would totally be a frequent customer if I ever found one.

Daaamn, that’s cold what your ex and supposed best friend did. But I love how it all turned out in the end.

I think you have pet taxes due.

I enjoyed the pilot and would love to know what happened in episode 2.

I think the last movie we watched was Oppenheimer, and before that it was Guardians of the Galaxy. How about you?

Sicario. Not the first movie but it’s been on my list for years.

Omg you just unlocked childhood memories of eating fried chicken with ketchup. It’s been decades. I need to try that again.

Was talking to a guy about religion. He said he isn’t religious but he believes there is “something” that basically works in mysterious ways in people’s lives.

To explain, he told the story of when he was at a crossroads in his life, just divorced and unhappy in his job. He wanted to pursue his passion which was metalsmithing but had no shop to work out of.

At a smithing convention, he randomly started talking to this guy who it turns out had a shop and one of their employees just left so they needed someone to fill the spot.

So the guy I was talking to saw that as some kind of pseudo-divine intervention because what are the odds?

And here I’m thinking, you’re at a smithing convention, of course you’re going to run into people with smithing shops. If he had met the guy while on safari in Africa, then I’d be more impressed.

Whoa! This really blows my mind. Did you keep in touch?

My husband and I were both still practicing Catholics when we met, even went to church together. Then he stopped going but I still did.

We moved to a different state and both started working from home. I stopped going to church because it was a small rural Midwest town and I stuck out too much (am brown).

Working from home meant a lot of computer time and YouTube rabbit holes. Between Sam Harris and Dan Barker, I found myself no longer believing.

My husband also ended up an atheist on his own, though we never discussed any of it with each other. I don’t even think he watched any of the same videos. Just one day I guess we talked about it and discovered we were both no longer Catholic.

Nothing says you care like a no-homo handie.

Ugh, I imagine the pastor going through his sermon mentally before the ceremony and thinking he would get bonus points for incorporating how “inclusive” marriage through Christ is. 🙄

That first imam, kicking the family while y’all were already down. :/

I worked a desk job for 20 years, then suddenly shifted careers and was on my feet ask day and constantly moving and walking and lifting. It was tiring but my body got used to it and I invested in good shoes and insoles, and I ended up getting in the best shape of my life.

Then I moved and I started working as a cashier and I can’t stand it, no pun intended. Standing in one spot is 100x worse and I dread every day that I have to go in to work. If all goes well, I’ll be switching jobs soon. 🤞🏽🤞🏽
