This guy is great. He demands kisses almost every time I see him. I love watching the kids torment him because he looks so tired, but is so tolerant and gentle.

Ikr? It's adorable
He is named Caponi. It's a great name.
I don't donate to charity, but I do donate to the Special Olympics in my area. My little sister is an athlete in it and she is thriving now that she's part of something. It's a really good thing for everyone involved and I want it to continue. I've never seen proof in my area that charities are actually putting donations to use in a tangible way. I've looked into it, too, out of curiosity.
How was I judging? I was defending those of us who are concerned about the whole raw milk having bird flu thing. I was simply saying that those of us with concerns are valid in our feelings.
If you read all of bluewing's comments, the tone comes off, imo, as talking down to those of us who are concerned. Bluewing grew up on a dairy drinking raw milk every day and didn't get sick and seems to be exuding a sense of superiority because of it.. I also grew up on raw milk and didn't get sick from it. Doesn't make me less concerned over bird flu lol
After surviving one pandemic, it's totally fair that some of us are a bit wary of raw milk now because multiple places have found bird flu in it. Judging us in the way you are isn't okay.
My town has an absurd amount of firefighters and first responders. I broke my leg last year and 30 people, both firefighters and paramedics, showed up and poured into my house. It took 3 of them to get my leg stabilized haul me into the ambulance. The rest ended up just standing around in my yard doing nothing lol. When we passed the fire department/ paramedic place, there were like 10 other people hanging around the ambulances and fire trucks in their uniforms just shooting the shit.
My only good neighbor weighs almost 400lbs and has ruined knees and a fucked up spine. Wish there was a neighborhood watch, but most of my town is impoverished, so there's a lot of shitty people. The town is nice overall imo, but the shitty people definitely bring it down when they start their shenanigans. The small police force is very active and most criminals are taken into custody peacefully, but ACAB and it's just a matter of time before they start killing folks. I do own a gun and know how to use it, have two very loud dogs, and my house has a good alarm system and the fenced in yard has a gate that confuses a lot of people. I'm not afraid of anyone breaking in to hurt me or whatever, but I don't want to get dragged into anything if I'm outside at the wrong time, especially if my dogs are out because they are liable to get shot with how much they want to see people and how loud they are.
Last time I rolled my ankle I got a Maisonneuve fracture. The surgeon who fixed me up was super pumped about it because these types of fractures apparently don't happen super often.
I am all about not calling the cops, but is there a good alternative for someone to call for situations that need deescalated before people get hurt or worse? I keep getting awful neighbors. Had to call CPS on the first family for extreme negligence and they had their kids taken away the same day I reported them. The last ones were selling drugs, but were mostly quiet with an occasional super loud dispute that would honestly scare me. Didn't know they were selling drugs until their house got raided, though. The new ones are VERY quiet and don't seem interested in even properly introducing themselves, so I'm hoping they're cool, but with the track record of that place... I expect bad times to come. I would love to know what services I could utilize if things escalate to the point where I become fearful of being outside or whatever
How'd you get that pic of my sleep paralysis demon
