I'm Gen X, so the answer is... NONE. We were taught to solve our problems by telling absolutely no one, and then hating ourselves, because it was obviously all our fault, and then additionally abusing various substances to make it OK. That, and making our hair really big and listening to metal. 🤘 🤣

Thanks for sharing this!

The movie "Journey 2: The Mysterious Island" isn't exactly a great movie. It's fun though, especially if you like family adventure. But there's one line from the movie I LOVE. Michael Caine's character says

"Music is nature's painkiller"

...and I'm like... yeah... like, eff yeah. I love that line.

Still love that movie to this day. Saw it in the theater with my Dad when I was 12. I can't imagine what I said to convince him to let me see it at that age. 😄

Photo of our tortie cat Gracie, one of Prudence's kids, when she was still a kitten. She's sitting inside a red mixing bowl... yeah I know, weird, but it's what we would put them in when we were still weighing them, after they got too big to fit on the scale. She's in a sitting position, but sprung up, and her left paw is fully extended, like she's about to whack the camera... or perhaps the photographer. She's a feisty little diva, after all.

It's Friday!! Make sure you let a cat smack you in the face this weekend. You know... for good luck. 😸

Photo of ginger brothers Thor and Loki. Thor is long hair and Loki is short hair. When we first met them, they were about to be adopted separately, and we were the only ones who saw Loki's face when they took his brother away. He was devastated. At that moment, we told the rescue place that we want them both, and please try to get that other person interested in another cat besides Thor. And they did. The brothers have been part of our lives since before they were even a year old, and even after all these years, they show us regularly that we did right by them. I couldn't imagine our house without them.

Back to back gotcha days in our house! Today's gotcha day is brothers Thor and Loki. For over 12 years now, they've shared with us the most amazing bond, like nothing I've seen before. Truly BFFs that were meant to spend their lives together. They are such a happy place for me.😻

Photo of Beezle the very first time I met her. She's lying down under a bush, stretched out on her side, eyes partially closed, trying to find some escape from the brutal August Texas heat.

Photo of our calico cat named Adorabeezle Winterpop - a.k.a. Beezle - when she was a kitten, wrestling with a stuffed T-Rex toy that was as big as her. She adored that T-Rex. It was her constant companion. The photo is captioned - across the top it says "RAWR! I'm mightier than a T-Rex! RAWR!!!"

Photo of Beezle on a cat exercise wheel. She paused from running briefly, allowing this photo to be taken. She took to the exercise wheel like it was in her blood, constantly having the time of her life running on it.

Photo of Beezle the cat sticking out of a Christmas tree, very near the top. She's perfectly relaxing, looking out the front window of our house which is out of view of the photo. Christmas trees were glorious playgrounds to her. No tree was safe from her climbing.

Happy Cheeseburger Day! Today is Beezle's gotcha day - the most charismatic cat I've ever known. A feisty, hissy kitten, the only thing I had to win her over was a vending machine cheeseburger. 😸 Today we share happy memories, fancy cheeseburgers & celebrate her glorious life. ❤️

Definitely doing a good job. I think you're kinda awesome. 🤘

Photo of our diluted calico cat named Bug, laying on her back on a comfy blanket on our couch. She's got her front paws dangling in front of her, and she's looking off the side, eyes a bit glossed over, like she's in deep thought contemplating her very existence.

Bug lives such a hard life. 😸

That would make my year.

A selfie of me and our cat named Bug. She's the feistiest, craziest, most lovable demon child I've ever known. She has total control over us. For example... we can pet her, and she'll grab our hand, claws out, chomp down and bite us, and we'll be like... "OMG Bug I love you too!" I think it's safe to say that she owns us. Or... maybe she just likes the taste of our blood? Hmmmm....

I love this little demon child. 😻

A combined image, showing a photo our black cat named Jack, and the t-shirt design I created from the photo. The photo is a silhouette of Jack - he's chilling on a brown poof, with sun coming in from the giant window behind him, creating a perfect silhouette. Jack was an amazing Jack. Honestly, more "best bud" than cat, always just hanging out with us, and wanting to be wherever we were. His life was long, and full of joy. I'm so happy to finally have a shirt to commemorate his wonderful existence.

"Raining Stars"
This design is really special. The featured cat is Jack. We took him in when he lost his home at 5 y/o, and he became our 1st "foster failure". He lived a long and glorious life w/us - the bestest best bud cat ever. If you're interested in buying, let me know.

Well... I was born in 1969, same year so Scooby... and Scooby and Shaggy have been constant anchors throughout my entire life... so... I guess... well... not so good, to be honest... but I'm so thankful to have Shaggy, Scooby and the Mystery Gang to help me through it.

A combination photo of our cat named Loki; the shirt I created from the image, titled "Please Do Not The Cat" next to the original photo that the shirt came from. In the photo of Loki, he's sitting on a couch, on his butt, sort of like a human. His belly is facing the camera, back legs sticking out weirdly, front paws propped up, supporting his "sitting up" position. I think he was actually grooming at the time, but I had the camera, saw this pose, and went "LOKI!", and he looked up at me (because he knows his name), thus I snapped this glorious photo. This was taken several years ago, when he was still overweight, making his proportions look even more ridiculous. Since this photo, he's lost about 5 lbs! Though an old man now, and he's been fighting intestinal lymphoma for nearly 2 years now, but regardless, he's still our most perfect, silly ginger, forever blessed with the heart of a kitten. Our lives are truly better with him in it.

"Pease Do Not The Cat"
Probably the most unflattering picture I've ever taken of Loki... so, naturally, I had to put it on a shirt! 😅 The open mouth addition came from a photo of his brother! If you're interested, links where to buy are below. Every sale supports our babies 💯

There will never be another like him. Truly immortal.

Photo of our diluted calico cat named Bug, sprawled out on our kitchen counter. While some counters are not used for food, so the cats can be on them no problem, this is not one of those counters, and I'm sure she knows it. By the look in her eyes though, you can tell that she doesn't really care about our silly human rules.

Me: "Bug, get off the counter!!"

Her: "Try and make me and I'll bite you, b*tch!"

Me: "Fine... stay... AS$HOLE." ...awwwwww but look how cute she is! I have to get a picture of this. What a sweet angel she is!

The Aztec gods are pleased.

Happy birthday! Still just a little baby! 😻

You're definitely not alone there.

Photo of our long haired ginger cat named Thor, curled up sleeping in a cat food box that's slightly too small for him. He's sleeping facing the opposite way of the photo, so all you can see in the box is his back side, which is all ginger colored fluff that's sort of overflowing past the edges of the box.

Alright... who ordered the box of ginger fluff?

Photo of a very tiny baby cotton tail bunny, out in our back yard. We've had bunnies making their home under our back patio for many years now, and I've done everything I can to make sure our back yard is a safe space for them. This baby bunnies' sighting has helped me feel like I've maybe done a decent job.

There's a new baby bun in our back yard. It's barely 3 in long, and I'm in love. There's probably others. Well, they all kinda look the same, so it's probably not the same bun every time. Regardless, I shall name it... Henrietta. When the world is dark, it helps to find light in the simplest things.

Photo of Audrey, one Prudence's kids. I think she was actually in the process of meowing in this picture, because she loves her humans something fierce, and our presence is often met with a glorious meow. But I managed to snap this photo at the perfect point where she was in the middle of her first meow, so her face is one of surprise, wonder, and "where the heck are my treats?"

Treats? Did you say TREATS?!?!?

Image of one of the cotton tail rabbits that lives in our back yard. Based on my research, it's the Mama. She's chilling out in front of our big tree, laying down, ears back, eyes partially closed, looking like a really happy, chill rabbit. And she should be - she lives with her family under our patio. I don't know for sure, but given the time that has passed, I'm pretty sure multiple generations have called the safety of our back yard "home". And as long as I live here, they will always and forever be welcome and protected.

Mrs. Bun has quite the camouflage. She chills like this nearly every day, in front of the big tree in our back yard. I can go outside, and she looks up at me as if to say "'sup?"... and then just goes right back to chillin'. Love her. Her and her family call our yard "home", and I'm so here for it.

As someone who grew up in Northeast "Nowhere" Ohio, there wasn't even a heavy metal radio station back then... nothing even close... and certainly no social media platforms. So when I discovered this album, thanks to EU friends on IRC, it literally changed my entire world.

Dual image of our diluted calico cat named Bug. The left image is of her shortly after we took her in, at just a few weeks old - we took her to her first vet appointment in a picnic basket! The right image is adult Bug being held by her mother (my wife) while wearing a cute frilly blue dress. Bug is looking straight at the camera, belly also towards the camera, and she kind of looks like a tiny human in a cat costume instead of an actual cat.

A collage image of all the t-shirt designs I've created so far from images of Bug. There are six in total so far, with many more to come I'm sure. From top left, clockwise, the names of the shirts are: Heat Beam Eye Blast Feline Overlord Become Chaos Zen Cat Embrace Your Inner Demon Parkour Cat

Today we wish a happy Bugalicious 7th birthday to our most perfect marshmallow princess, and most photogenic cat ever, BUG! The 2nd image is all the shirts I've made so far from her crazy doings and poses (with lots more to come!) Happy birthday, you most perfect crazy Bug! 😻

Photo of a can of lump crab meat... with the post done in the style of Mystery Science Theater 3000, heard in my head as "LUMP CRABMEAT". This is an blatant reference to the MST3k episode of the movie "Space Mutiny". Making the post even better is Gracie the cat right behind the can, looking at it like she REALLY wants to know what's inside that can. FYI, she didn't get to eat what's in the can, because it's not good for her, but she did get some really tasty cat treats as a "thank you" for posing for my photo.

I remember those. I always wanted one too. I was in my early 30s in 2003, and had nowhere near that kind of budget. So I always ended up building my own "budget" PCs, and painting and decorating cheap-ass cases to try and make them look cool.

Sad at every level. This is one of the reasons my wife and I never go to protests together. We need to make sure one of us remains behind to take care of our cats in case something bad happens. Nothing is safe anymore, so make sure you have a plan in place for your pets.
