Pretty cool rat you got there!

I think the best time I had was hearing two children (one white and one black) converse at a restaurant a few weeks back and was glad to see friendships haven't died in the current age. They of course had their smartphones and all but I was glad to see interaction of any kind happen that was normal and fun. I just hope their friendship will last a long time given the way things are these days.

Ye! She's a great family addition. Adopted her last year and the first cat I introduced her to was our kitten and since then both have gotten along and she acts maternal towards the younger cat. She's a bit too playful with the others so they're scared of her but none show any aggression towards her.


And i think the new generation of kids are probably gonna be the ones not to let politics get in the way of friendships and such. More so just avoid the extremes of both sides and just live their life.

you're making me miss my rats. I really want to get some more, but I already have a rabbit and cat that are spoiled rotten to the core.

I've spoiled my oldest cat since she was a kitten (3yrs old now) she's a bit jealous of my rat but she's been happy since i still give her ear massages and tummy rubs. Can't go anywhere in my apartment without her following me though, she's cockblocked me numerous times too lmao.
My rat hates my family since they tried getting rid of her once when I was at work so she'll do aggressive noises at them then run up my leg when she's out. I buy her way too much toys and expensive food.

I had a rabbit once, when I was 5. It was a Flemish giant rabbit but had to get rid of him when we moved from Hawaii.

Today I have wondered if we have a "general question"-thread. If yes, I would ask the question there if "K-9" is named after the word "canine"?

We've had a pretty rough weekend. Our poor bunny got a case of gi stasis. We got him to the vet as soon as we could, and got sent home with meds and critical care for rabbits. I can happily say after 2 days of force feeding him, (and he hated that) that this morning he is back to his normal happy bun self, eating, drinking, getting on the couch when he knows he's not allowed.

Today, after a shitty day at work, I came home to discover that my KF "Believe" t-shirt had arrived. And it's so freaking adorable, it's melting my cold black heart. I kinda want to write a kids' book about the kiwi bird who was sad he couldn't fly but took inspiration from the cow who could jump instead, like a reverse Dumbo.

Today I lied to yet another religious door knocker. I'm not ordinarily a person who lies beyond the standard little shit ("Your hair cut is awesome! It certainly doesn't look like you scraped up a roadkill possum from the asphalt and glued it onto your scalp!") but whenever a religious person comes calling I end up saying all this bullshit to them and it's not even interesting bullshit. For example, I told this latest one (after I spotted a copy of Watchtower in his hand) that I was raised in a religious atmosphere and I'd burned out and wasn't interested thank you very not. I was not raised in a religious atmosphere, and I'm not burned out on religion, I just don't like it very much. I don't know why I lie to these people. I don't even tell interesting lies, just random bullshit pulled out of the air.

Also, yesterday my huge tax return came through and I have Money- money with a capital M- for the first time in three years. I just bought a new mobile phone and soon I'll be able to put the factory installed malware ridden piece of shit I have now under my car's tyres, just like I've been promising almost since the day I got the thing.

I feel the same way about the telemarketers that call my workplace. Recently, an alternative natural gas supplier called (for those not in the know: they lure customers with low rates only to raise them quite a bit once your contract is locked in), and I told the caller, "Oh, we don't have gas here." The caller didn't know how to respond, and was so dumbfounded to the point of silence while I hung up.

Growing up, a neighbor shared a story about being visited by door-to-door Jehovah's Witnesses. The neighbor grabbed her chuch's weekly bulletin and started to read her church's upcoming events for the week. If the story wasn't embellished, the JW's couldn't leave her porch fast enough; they didn't want to hear anything about another church and its doings.

Today I witnessed a dog fight in Walmart. One lady had her lap dog in a stroller becasue, ya know, Walmart. Another little yappy thing with no leash or anything came charging through the clothing racks and started trying to attack the stroller dog. Initially I assumed it was also hers, but then I saw some dude run over and grab the dog away. Never a boring moment at Walmart!

Today, on the way home from work, I picked up some beer, some indica and a small veggie tray for the munchies. I also picked up Persona 5 for the PS4.

Today I continued my workout program, and I was excited that I didn't feel completely wiped out like I have before. My clothes are fitting better, I have more energy, and I'm getting stronger. Progress is happening. There's a satisfaction to be had from accomplishing something; it can be downright addictive.

I have also just made beef-and-broccoli from scratch for the first time. It needs some fine-tuning, but the family likes it so now I have something else I can serve.

I hope you'll all meet with success in the things you try today!

Watched Inception cause it was on tv...it's even more boring than I imagined, and that's with the concept you can base so much cool shit on, like The Cell did. All the parodies of it I've seen are better, somehow.
