Y'know, the childhood trauma that led to a phobia of boats involved calling something that wasn't a frog, a frog.* Maybe the reverse could traumatize some other child :V

*Protip: Bullfrogs do not, in fact, grow to be larger than a riverboat. Tell a friend.

Yeah cats are very low maintenance, and I'm also not opposed for the idea of having an anti-rodent device in the house (see previous discussions in these forums about our war on mice).

Cats are probably the best solution for mouse problems. We used to have mice coming inside in late autumn/early winter, but since we got a cat the mice stopped coming in after one made the mistake of doing so while a cat was around. No mice anymore for 5 or so years, though outside there's still plenty of them (and that's perfectly fine).

Another vote for checking out shelter cats. A surprising number of them are really good animals that wound up in shelters because of stuff to do with their owners rather than the cat itself.

A vote for shelter cats from me too. Some of the best and most adorable cats I've had the honor of knowing came from a shelter. It's wonderful to see how a shy and possibly traumatized creature becomes trusting and social in a loving and caring home. Though, if there's kids around it's best to take a cat used to them. Some cats don't like kids at all.

Also, remember that cats live a long time, and despite being "easy animals" they do still require proper care, attention and activity. Best is to have a cat friend (or two) for them.

Though they do have a big enough appetite that they may try to eat a riverboat.

The moral of the story being not to leave your river boat and frogs unattended?

I have been, on top of chronic anxiety and depression, quite tired, and very cold, because this cold snap had been bullshit and froze the water lines to the horse trough, so I have to carry water in a bucket, and the cold hurts my face. We are now extra short staffed at work, meaning it's just me and two other aides to do two shifts seven days a week. We're all miserable. My back hurts. And my groin, since I slipped in the new snow that has fallen

I swear, if I'm doing anything that isn't making somebody money my dad has to be a whiny bitch about how "lazy" I am.

Well stop being lazy then: get a job for every hour of every day and be a productive member of society. Even if your body deteriorates to the point of death, you’ll make money for someone.

Reminds me of Cicada, a kid's book about a friendly bug that works hard and earnestly despite being treated so poorly they eventually jump off a skyscraper.

Beautiful book, really, but goddamn the ending is a bit of a trip.

I accidentally deleted my Slay the spire save, I defeated the heart in that one, so it sucks to lose porgress

For what it's worth, I'm fairly sure whatever part of the game that governs the record of progression is plain text editable. You can restore your progress to whatever arbitrary point you please, heh.

Mini petit pain au chocolat. They suck so hard. Not once have the 2 strings of chocolate running alongside eachother, they're allways on top of eachother, somebody keeeps robotically lying them on the shitty side it's lovelessly frozen as, making 60-70% of the volume disgusting dough withouth anything. I swear they are so dry they taste like industrial croissants you'd get served in an extremly cheap hotel in spain.

Both our bakers have insanely high quality standards, yet both of them keep throwing a batch in, wasting precious time and space in the oven, for a product that is allways among the last things to sell, you gotta be despairing to buy the mini pti pains au chocolot, even supermarket and discounters have better ones. God I hate them.

Pain, indeed.

Yes, I'm aware. It's a pun.

I missed the 1000-post milestone.

[da_nang]

Welp, it finally happened.

Two cases of 'Rona in the family now. Patient zero was a triple-vaccine breakthrough from the look of things.

The other one just couldn't be bothered to get vaccinated despite encouragement.

(I live 100+ km away, don't you worry!)

Your fast thinking and action probably saved your dog! Good job. And very bad job on keeping rat's poison within dog's reach. That means it's within crawling toddler reach too.
