Oh and this one had his tail pulled in. I saw a little of it before he did so, and I was waiting to see if he’d redeploy it to judge if it was a snapper. His little claws and pointier nose made me lean that way. I had to usher a HUGE snapping turtle out of the road last week. He fortunately had just woken up from hibernation and was still groggy, so he wasn’t trying to take my hand off.

If that’s what it is, that’s extra awesome! My grandma used to call me stinkpot (affectionately).

We keep frog “logs” around the pool, but critters always seem to congregate in the skimmers anyway. And i haven’t turned the pump on yet, so he wasn’t pulled in there by current. The basket was upside down on top of the widget thing that plugs the return line for winter, so he was dry and out of the water. But yeah water temp is 66°F/19°C, and my hands are comparatively warm. When I find ones this little, they normally tend to try to crawl out of my hands vs resting.

Has there been any evaporation? I.e. a condensing or concentration of the, uh, non-H₂O properties of the liquid?

This was far too polite and free of insults upon the direct reports’ capabilities and work ethic. Try “what the fuck do I pay you for? Get it done yesterday!”

I used to be in those rooms. It wasn’t healthy.

That has been my experience too. The not expected actually there for you friend. There are friends we feel close to and friends who would drop everything to come lend aid. There may be some overlap between those two groups, but don’t mistake the former for the latter.

Neat!

My husband found similar concept shirts at an artisan co-op in New Orleans. The shirts were 70s/80s vintage western style with snap closures. One had embroidered bigfoots inside the pointy areas in the shoulders and the other had skulls in sombreros. They’re my favorite shirts of his.

It’s appreciated! I don’t expect men to cross to the other side of the street, but some little noise to signal your friendly or neutral approach helps.

I’m an avg size woman and I had to consciously make noise to not give my mom jump scares. I guess I am a naturally quiet walker.

I don’t think a cassowary has anything to fear from a house cat. Even a cuddly one. Most I’ve met are ornery as heck though.

Looks like Beetlejuice and a Primus album cover mashup

Hey, if you’re doing neat stuff with thread, I ain’t gonna gatekeep. 😊

He called the shit poop!

What you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

That’s the neat thing about paint. It’s very easy to change the color if it doesn’t work out.

If you want commitment free pizazz, find some removable wallpaper in a cozy color.

That would be a long walk in a short lunch break. Walking to/from employee parking to Italy was almost a workout in itself. But I did enjoy it most after closing, when it was soothingly dark, empty pathways, yet the ambient music was still playing. I could squint and pretend I had to cut through actual Bavaria to get home. I would be so tired after a 12 hour shift that I didn’t have to pretend too hard either!

If you ever came thru the employee break area behind the stage in Italy, there is a good chance I fixed your food and rang you up!

That’s brilliant! Why hasn’t anyone made one of these better bean bag chairs?

They should hole punch the passport and hook it on his employee lanyard.

If you do, and want her to know, then yes say it.

Does she say it to you?

My family never really said it to each other. It just wasn’t normalized. Then one day I started thinking I may not have them around forever and I wanted to tell them. So I did. Mostly “love you, bye” when ending a call. And they were a little weirded out at first, but said it back. Now if I wait a beat before saying it, they’ll say it first!

I’m sorry your sister is getting bullied. I’m not sure if they had a friendship enough to where your sister can ask her why she’s being like this, and that her behavior is hurtful.

Or if this is one of those cases where the bully needs a punch in the face to respect boundaries.

That also made me wonder if the bully is getting bullied herself at home or by other kids, so she’s acting out because she’s miserable too.

Don’t know why this is downvoted. Maybe because it’s linked directly to an ebook?

But it prompted me to go look up Jeff to see if he’s written anything lately as I absolutely loved Southern Reach series 1-3. And I learned that he published book 4 last year!!!

So thanks for making my day! 🤩
