Chonky grey tabby cat grabbing and biting yarn

My chonky bub helping me crochet:

My story is similar. 3rd infection on 11/21, destroyed my guts. I'm still struggling and have finally starting looking at disability.

I get moments of extreme sadness and anger at how many ppl just dismiss Covid.

Thank you! The entire blanket is single crochet stitches in an attempt to limit dog toenail snagging.

Crochet blanket in various shades of pinks, purples, and green.

Finally finished a big crochet project. Was a lot of work, but fun, and I feel like my skills have improved quite a bit completing it.

Thank you!! 🥰

I only have the held items for Spritzee and Swirlix. If Haunter doesn't need to hold an item, they would be my third. I use your code to send them to you, and then you send them back? Or does it work a different way?

Just noticed that one has to complete link trades to eventually get the shiny charm, too.. darnit. I've encountered zero shinies except the ones the game gives automatically.

If you or anyone is up for trading, I would love to. I do not know anyone else who plays.

I've been enjoying it a lot, too.

I was hoping being able to 100% a pokedex like in Arceus would stick around for us solo players, but alas, it is not to be.

Would be nice if we could access all the Mega evolutions without doing online seasonal battles as well.

That is so very cute! My boy Henry (80lbs shepherd mix) was so proud of his giant stuffed toys (think king pillow size and larger) that he insisted on carrying them with us on walks. He'd end up getting tired about 3/4's of the way thru, and I'd haul it back for him. I wish I had taken pictures.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

A terrorist targeted federal workers last week. There wasn’t much reporting on it. But I’m not finished thinking about it! 🧵

An anti-vaxxer fired more than 500 gunshots into CDC Atlanta, shattering 150 “blast-proof” windows on 6 buildings. Employees were pinned down in terror.

Aw, they definitely do take care of us.

I was shocked that my bub would wake me up when I was having low sugar.

They can be scary smart!

That's very sweet

Mine got so used to me taking a 4pm nap that he will try to herd me into my bedroom while meowing nonstop if I don't.

He also gets mad if I don't go to sleep by 10:30pm. Phone/Switch use in bed is not acceptable. Only sleep. lol

The FDA Let Substandard Factories Ship These Medications to the U.S. ProPublica identified more than 150 products that were exempted from import bans since 2013. Our list provides the names of the drugs or ingredients and their manufacturers, many of which are no longe...

NEW: In June, ProPublica reported that the FDA has given more than 20 foreign factories a special pass to send drugs to the U.S. even though they were made at plants the agency had banned.

Today, we’re publishing a list of those exempted drugs.

Finished my version of a glaceon bag. Tried to follow a Penny's backpack pattern. I still struggle with patterns, so I made my own. The back-end butthole was an unintentional bonus. lol

I went to look on your other posts to see if I could see the whole piece. Awesome work. The rivets definitely bring it to a whole other level!

I drop pills a lot, too. If on the floor, I just take them. It is esp gross if a public or work floor, but I can't just toss them if they are restricted meds. I find sorting them 1st into a pill case, use a mat/towel on a big surface like a table/bed, helps w/ not spilling an entire bottle.

Most ppl have no exp dealing w/ chronic illness/pain/discomfort of any kind. To them, mask discomfort is a big deal.

Instead of telling them it could be worse, a concept they can't really grasp, we acknowledge both the discomfort of wearing a mask and how it is necessary to keep everyone safe.

Honestly, I don't think there is anything wrong w acknowledging that it can be hard to wear a mask.

When I wore them for a whole day teaching, we'd go outside every hour for a mask break.

I'd still get migraines after work from the strap pressure.

Hard, but necessary.

It is so very hard to say goodbye. What I tell myself is that they would be alive whether I am in their life or not, and both of our lives benefit by being together.

I despise ChatGPT and AI OV. Ppl try to use it for everything.

Friend asked about supplements a week ago, I advised asking a doctor, as what they were currently taking was potentially dangerous according to medical websites. They sent me back a screenshot saying that ChatGPT said it was fine. 🙄

I started to, then didn't have the time/energy due to my teaching schedule this year (only 3 classes, but LC is still kicking my butt). I hope to start back up in the next couple of weeks, as school ends this Thursday.

I am making a smaller wristband/slapband version as a trial first. Will post pictures when it is complete. 🙂

Cat on back displaying belly. Hand reaching to give scritches.

Gim does this all the time. He loves belly rubs.

It is so cute. I was very tempted to buy one, but I bought the crochet pattern for it a while ago so I could make one, dangit! I plan to do a Glaceon version of it.

Just an FYI, as my vet did not warn me, sometimes cats do not recognize each other after a vet visit, esp if anesthesia is involved.

In addition to managing a very sick cat, I have to juggle keeping his litter mate away until he realizes I did not just bring a different cat home w/ me; 3x.

Even for those with the financial/storage means, some items can not be stocked up on. For example, some prescription medications.

The ear loops also seem to break easily. My parents prefer ear loops, but always have to carry spares due to the loops snapping.
