How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I have a cat who is terrified by all of the fireworks going off in the last couple of nights, and I wish I knew how to comfort him. I am a new pet owner, so this is all very unfamiliar territory for me. I know tonight is going to be hell for him, so any advice would be welcomed.

My dog came up to me and leaned on me to protect her from the scary fireworks. I gladly snuggled her, pet her, and covered her ears.

Today has definitely been tough on my dogs. The mastiff is a leaner, and shes damned heavy for that. I gave them a little bit of melatonin, and now they're snoozed out, even though half the town still seems to have a decent supply of mortars and bottle rockets. I don't like giving stuff like that to my dogs, but it sure helped them today.

We got caught shooting roman candles. My cousin was literally holding it in his hand and standing in the middle of the street when the fire truck came around the corner. They let us off with a warning though, very epic move on the part of the firefighters. I also shot one at a low-flying plane. Not intentionally, it just happened to be flying above me. Very memorable day. Hope you guys had a good day too.

My aunt was also yelling at my uncle about how the cops were nearby and that we shouldn't light the candles, and all he said was "I am the cops." and did it anyway.

Living on your own's nice, but you really come to appreciate your family a lot after spending a lot of time away from them.

My parents are coming here next month. Luckily, they are staying at a hotel. Because I just can’t relax with them in my apartment. Gotta vacuum every single fucking day, because they have this ability to make it look dirty and messy the moment they step into a house.
I loathe being a tour guide for them too.
They kinda begged me to come home to them this summer, but no. It ends up with me bitter and regretting it. Only good part about it, is my cat.

I just see it as a waste of money. Haha, you wasted 100 bucks fireworks, they are used up in a few seconds. Cringe.

i was home yesterday and didn’t do shit, but now I have all the gym for myself. Because people are at work, and I love it. Please leave me alone more, I work out better this way.

I adore fireworks, but they've been sparse this year...

...Maybe SJWs took over with Juneteef/fag Holidays (also aminal fugs -- our ancestors loved Independence Day, but never had to deal with animals loosing their shit)? Idk, I'm keeping my home alive despite these fucks...

In related news, my wife said it would "explain a lot" if I were autistic.

Same, I don’t understand their appeal and the prices are ridiculous.

There needs to be a word for that moment when you've met a girl and she's attractive and you're getting along well... and then she asks what star sign you are.

Today at Mass, we opened by singing "My Country 'tis of Thee", and ended with "America the Beautiful". And my parish is big.

Don't let Clown World get you down too much, Kiwis. There are still tons of good, decent people in this country who have not surrendered to wokeist insanity.

Everytime I go out, I find that my views are the majority amongst the people I talk to. Every time I spend time online, I feel I'm under siege. Case in point, went into a pub on Saturday and the barman started talking to me about The Great Reset. Wasn't some weird guy - regular as they come and a good looking dude. Old lady up the road I was chatting with her and she tells me none of this covid stuff makes sense.

The biggest conspiracy theory there is is how they contrive to make beliefs held by the majority of people appear fringe. You're not alone, but they'll do everything they can to convince you that you are.

the neighbors around the subdivision shot off fireworks, i didn't because i live in the wooded portion of the subdivision and it's been a dry week. the next door neighbor had family over and they set off a rocket on their deck but it just lobbed itself on his grass and exploded in a fancy flash. I was laughed from kitchen but then the neighbor and another guy were running out with a hose and a bucket so i guess their grass caught on fire. they stopped shooting fireworks. which kind of sucks.

this subdivision has police patrols that will fine/arrest people for fire works because houses catch on fire. So you'll hear intermittent pops and no one shoots off those 100shot package dealies because the cops pull up right away.

I lived in an apartment in the exburbs where there's no restrictions and everyone voted trump. and from my vantage point, i could see three different neighborhoods duke it out with each other for hours into the night in addition to the official city fireworks show in the distance. that areas had fireworks tents everywhere and you'd see the big finale every hour. checking the news this morning and that county had 6 house fires with 1 pet cat death.

Just got back from an interview. "As far as I'm concerned, if you want the job, it's yours."

Now I just gotta wait to get my info collated later this week and I can start. In a few weeks, if I'm not so quickly burnt out from my first real job, I can decline to have my contract renewed for this shitty freelance gig. Hell yes.

They're fun, sure, but you're literally setting money on fire. If I'm gonna do that, I at least want to cultivate the skill of accurately throwing lead from my combustion-powered lead thrower.

Not many Fire works in my area. Still emotionally numb as fuck and unable to sleep. Doesn’t help my parents are on me constantly of this sleep schedule when I literally cannot sleep at night either due to heat or intense craving of physical affection.

Also the asshole behind us let his dog out with out a leash and no fence so he and my dog kinda got into it or af least that’s what we think. Dudes kinda limping but hell be ok. We think
