This is very true! The upside of lists!

Ah. The downside of lists. I know this, but I always forget. πŸ˜… But you have time! Lots of time! (Please ignore that all of these brands continually put out new ink...)

All the parts are hard. They're just different levels of hard. There's nothing easy about what you're going through, and I respect you. So much. I believe in you!

It depends on where you're going! I like to sit & read a book & drink a coffee & people watch.

For a while now I have had this icky feeling that a lot of our use of AI is us just using it to find examples to show each other how bad AI is and TBH I think we should probably all stop doing that cause excessive energy consumption doesn't differentiate between real use and joke use. 😬

We're having to do a lot of deferred maintenance on our house. Last week, we learned that bees had moved in! We do not want a hive in our house! Angry buzzing walls are not good! Luckily, a nice professional has gently moved the hive to a new home/bee box. Long live the Queen (and other bees)!

This is a good and productive bee. Doing the work. Feeding the hive. Enjoying the flowers.

We refused to do wet cat food because OMG it makes both of us nauseous. Luckily, all of our kitties were OK with high-end kibble. When they were nearing the end of their lives, they got chicken & gravy baby food (which didn't smell bad). Congratulations on your new companions!

~nods~ Confirmed. We had a cat that was constantly trying to train us. She could *not* understand why we wouldn't just stay on the couch constantly (when not tending to her needs) & why we kept changing her environment (cleaning). There was much indignant squeaking.

"We were the first companion," the dog said, "the first ally and friend."

"Well done you," the cat said.

"After us, the humans befriended cows, sheep, goats, and pigs."

"Humans domesticated so many animals."

"And you."

"Us?" the cat said. "We only domesticated one. Humans."
