Which is one of the reasons cats and dogs hate each other — they speak completely different languages. Not just the belly example, but when a dog wags its tail, it’s friendly. When a cat waves its tail, watch out!

Cats and dogs raised together eventually work this out.

I remember someone saying that and how much it hurt. Because I feel if I know the answer, I am compelled to share it. I see it as a need on their side that I should fulfill. I am a “how can I fix it” mentality. But some people are complaining or speaking just to be heard. They want commiseration, not answers.

If it’s someone close to you, then speak about it — “I’m sorry, I thought you wanted an answer or suggestion, I feel I should provide if I can. Is that not what you’re looking for?”

If it’s someone else, whose opinion is not necessary, you can make a mental note to let them have their delusions, just maybe not with you around.

I thought I read somewhere that a lot of the streaming shows get cancelled after just 3 seasons because the residuals increase after that, or something about syndication?

The Guardian has excellent coverage and stories for the world and for US. I read stories about stuff going on here in America that I don’t see in other sources! Plus it’s not paywalled, although you should contribute or subscribe.

In the Texas, you can ask for “half and half” tea. You’ll get a mixture of sweet and unsweet iced tea. In a huge glass with plenty of ice. And free refills.

If you want hot tea, you need to ask for hot tea. Most places will bring you a couple selections of bagged tea and a too-small pot of not-hot-enough water. Hotel restaurants are known for bringing out a huge caddy of various tea bags for you to chose from. If you want milk/cream in your hot tea, you’ll have to ask for it, it’s not assumed.

Reminds me of this delightful tumblr story:

I have never wanted to bestow gold on a post more. Thanks for finding this!

Finally watched “Everything Everywhere All At Once” and it was very different from any other Oscar winner I’ve seen, very clever, and surprisingly moving.

I will bounce in every week or so, but since I can’t use Apollo for quick, clean, ad-free, non-intrusive browsing, I get sick of it all pretty quickly.

I am trying other sources for news. Someone mentioned GroundNews app, and it’s pretty nifty, even without going to pro version. I am also using The Guardian app more often.

Even FB just sux so bad, I can’t stay on it for long.

Except for the damn reels. Argh.

Anyway, we all need to post more here, and also on other new playforms. Discuit is pretty cool.

Pistachio nuts!

I need to send this idea to our new nephew-in-law. Our niece walked down the aisle to the music from the movie!

Link doesn’t work for me in mobile due to special character?
