Woke up at 3am to this.
  • Both are babies. Kitten is ~4mo and is ? Who knows. Sweet as is shit and her brother is a single orange brain cell sweet heart. The pup is about a year. 50% purebred lab. Other 50% is mostly pitty. She’s pure precious though, especially with the kittens.

  • Woke up at 3am to this.

    What the shit? Veronica (kitten) and BB

    Interviews
  • For the brief period when I was a manger, I tried to make interviews more work-related. I was told I couldn’t ask for a writing sample during the interview for a job that required writing clear, concise communications under pressure. This is one of many reasons why I am voluntarily no long supervisory in my field.

  • Archie and Veronica and bonus Doodle
  • Aww that’s just his name. We did do a DNA test on his ass though. Basically if you take an average of all dogs in North America, you end up with Doodle. <3. He loves those kittens though.

  • This showed up on a neighbor's roof. Extra context in post.
  • Not my intention in the slightest. I’m generally a mind my own business dude, and supportive of people doing whatever they want with their stuff. This thing though happens to be aimed in my general direction, which also isn’t a problem, but I don’t like not knowing what the heck it is.

  • What decision that you made originally seemed insignificant but then turned out to be life-changing?
  • So, I am happy to at least give you my story. I’m an old school metal head. I’ve been to a lot of rock shows. A lot. So when I started having ringing in my right ear I was just kind of like…no shit, don’t color me shocked. It wasn’t extreme, but it was there and it was annoying and it was weird. Almost sometimes like an old timey radio between channels. Anyways, I ignored it forever as part of my own bad life choices. But I have this other annoying thing called a wife, and we are blessed with decent health care so I eventually went to the doc. He looked in there and said he didn’t see shit. But out of abundance of caution he sent me to a fancy ENT. Took a month to get an appointment, and he didn’t see shit either, but out of another abundance of caution he sent me for a noodle MRI. Got a call from his office the next day that I needed to come in as soon as possible. That’s when you know you’re fucked. So anyways, my tinnitus was caused by a tumor wrapped around my auditory nerve. This was caused by a super rare genetic disease called neurofibromas type 2. So basically I am a mutie whose super power is to grow tumors on my cranial nerves. Sweet. There is nothing w cure. Treatment is currently radiation or surgery. I’ve had one surgery which took that tumor but also my hearing on that side. I have another surgery next month for a tumor in my fucking face, which grew off the nerve that runs through there. I can actually feel that fucker with my figer, and if I mess with it my ear goes numb. So long story short kids. 1) wear hearing protection at shows 2) get weird medical shit checked out.

  • This showed up on a neighbor's roof. Extra context in post.

    Fiber Internet and cable are included in mandatory HOA fees (yay HOAs) so this seems weird. No other homes in the area have anything like this. Also, I’m 99% sure this unit is a full time Airbnb if that might matter (and why I can’t just ask my neighbor wtf is on their roof). Did some reverse image searches and didn’t find a match, that 5G seemed closest to my untrained eye. I don’t like tech shit that I don’t know what the hell it is. Particularly when it’s aimed close to my house. TIA!

    Fried Chicken Tastes Better Cold
  • Dude. Core memory unlocked. I’ve been vegetarian for 20 years and vegan for 5ish…but cold fried chicken was the shit of my childhood. Maybe that explains a lot lol. But I’m with you brother/sister/other

  • Archie and Veronica getting along with the zoo.

    B.B. (black lab mix) loves these little criminals.

    Allow me to introduce Archie and Veronica. From our local Appalachian humane society

    Our older kitties Nebula, Gamora, and Lizzie are pretty pissed off about this. But our nanny dogs absolutely adore them.
