Poor guy! Bucky just slides onto the tile (where the grout lines slow him down) or hits the couch, but he looks super embarrassed. The sad look of a cat struggling to grasp the coefficient of friction.

Same here. Bucky cat loses traction and goes flying across the hall if his feets are not trimmed. He is very chill about the clippers, and seems to have an easier time grooming his toes with them trimmed. It definitely helps with litter getting tracked around to trim the toe fluff.

The secret is to keep fun stuff in the basement. You still don't know why you went there originally, but you are enjoying life once you get to the basement so it's ok

I don't know the name, but that looks like the class of hardware that one has to get a hobby machinist make when a replacement is needed.

Do we Midwesternerers have to make do with land based apocalyptic monsters, or does something come out of the Mississippi River?

I was going to ask if egg coffee was similar to Vietnamese egg coffee, but my brain melted at 'Swedish Baptist.' I did not know that was an viable combo.

Shovelling is such a bullshit concept, what happened to patience, like we're too good for the sun now? It gives us life it will take the snow, you cannot be impatient with a god

I appologize on behalf of the white women that don't say dumb shit like this. We do know how to go get training on our own without bothering people doing important work. Fellow white women: get your shit together!

Fresh up your folk magic around the lab to keep them out. I have had good results with decoy gremlins. If they think they area is already colonized they stay away.

I read is as a typo of 'fairy sound' and assumed you had some supernatural issues. Hit it with an iron skillet if it gets too close.

Goals. But I get dizzy when I do spins. BTW, Defy Gravity pole studio in Urbana is awsome. Very queer friendly and disability inclusive.

I bought a scrubber with steam. It's my new favorite thing for cleaning.

Can confirm this worked for my cat. Also, daily dosing with 1/8 teaspoon of Miralax on wet food is a good preventative.

I live in the woods and guests have called my house 'eerily silent.' My family is neurodiverse and easily annoyed by noise. The bosch 800 meets our standards for quiet.

I bought a Bosch 800 in 2019 for the quiet operation and low water use. It is super quiet. Cleaning the filter screen is not fun, but no other complaints. I love the top rack. Cleans most dried on crusty stuff. I am on a well, so to save water I don't pre rinse and wait to run a full load.
