Well hello!
Love that the “eyeliner flick” is on the opposite side.
She sounds wonderful, I’m so happy she found a home with you!
I would always adopt an adult rather than a kitten. We’ve had a kitten and he was hard work!
Our orange cat was 2 when we had him from the shelter. He was found on the street with cat flu. They treated this, but he was still very skinny when we adopted him, with rough fur and cracked paw pads.
We’ve had him just over a year and he gained a lot of weight at first, but now he trusts that there’s always going to be dinner for him. His fur is glossy and bright, and his paws are healthy. He’s incredibly loving, even with children, and loves sitting near us when we’re working.
I’m glad we got him. Even our other cat (also adopted, but from a friend) is slowly warming to him!
When I worked in retail, I had this wanker of a middle manager who would ask how I was getting on, and when I said fine, he’d always say “It’s not rocket science, is it?”
He was mid twenties and only a few years older than me. He used to call female employees “babe”.
One time I watched him get a withering telling off from a customer. The customer wasn’t in the right, but it felt like a little bit of retribution for all us “babes”.
Steven Pacey reading Joe Abercrombie’s First Law series is outstanding. The books themselves are among my favourites, but Steven makes them even more special. He has different voices (and accents) for the characters and manages to stay consistent with them. His pacing is also excellent.
Of course it’s in Scunthorpe.
I met a cat in a chip shop, rubbing against everyone’s legs. Apparently he was in there often and the delivery driver would drop him home.
Sounds good. I season it and dry it out at 90°C. It takes 30-40 minutes to get perfectly crisp with no burnt bits. I should try growing my own.
I seen stuff like this before, and I think I know how it’s supposed to work.
The “stranger” recruited the person who posted this to OP’s friend as one of 6 people. Each of those 6 people recruit 6 others, who send the books to the stranger (their friend’s friend), hence the 36. OP’s friend will be asked to recruit 6 people in turn, and each of those recruit 6, who then send books to OP’s friend.
I think it’s a bit dodgy that they’re being asked to buy new, but I’d be more concerned that these kind of schemes can be used to feel out who’s likely to fall for more sinister scams, as people feel they’re getting a lot back for very little.
Plus, it only takes a few levels (13 if my maths is right) before there are more (far more!) recruits needed than people on earth.
I have something similar! Mine is a playwright, so not on most people’s radar, unless they Google my name. It’s great.
It’s starting to get cold here, which means more cat cuddles!
