I only watched the first three seasons of Orphan Black
(I had to check it out of the library on DVD, and I moved right around then: so it kinda fell to the wayside - although I'm still curious how Helena ended up...)
But anyway - I got your reference, and think it was very spot on. 🙃
What adorable kitties!
I'm in Seattle w/ 2 litter mates I adopted 2 years ago, so I can't help. But all of those kitties look so cute and cuddly - I bet they'll get wonderful forever homes soon 💚
This makes me SO happy! Thanks for sharing the joy by letting us know 🐈⬛️🐕
And please post more about who you have and their details. We are so inundated w/ negative news right now that these types of posts make the world a little better. TY
Close...
I buy cat food from All the Best & every time they give me treats.
My 2 cats have all the treats they need, so I get dog treats & keep them in my backpack.
(I'm job hunting now, but normally->) I take the bus home from downtown & give a treat to a dog on the bus every day. Community 🙂
I am 5'2" & weigh 110 pounds & I bake nonstop... No one understands it. My only explanation:
I give it all away. That's it; whole story.
Last night a girlfriend came for dinner & I sent her home w/ 8 lemon, poppyseed muffins & 10 peanut butter chocolate cookies.
Ppl expect no less from me...
Wait, wait, wait - where did this conversation turn to when I wasn't looking?
Did you folks create a kibbutz?
If yes - I'm kinda down for this...
Oh, and 100 years ago I owed a catering company in Chicago (another conversation for another day), but I'll do all the cooking...
I'm a city gal who wants a balcony that's big enough for a firepit, 4 chairs, enough space for a small pea patch (2X2 is fine), southern exposure, close to water so I see all the raptors eating, and where I can eat dinner outside 7 months of the year 😎
I'm just going to goof on part of your note...
I have a girlfriend who's trans (I have a few friends who are, but that's not uncommon in Seattle b/c ppl gravitate to where they feel safe) but I have told her:
I'm not a lesbien. Yes, at my age life might be easier if I was - but I'm just not...
I would totally look at finding a woman to buy a home together. Not romantic & weirdly just people who talk about the finances & are super respectful.
I have heard this is becoming common: women are finding other women to help w/ expenses but they're still 100% independent of each other...
Do I buy from a more 'costom' place: maybe someone who makes them for a living? If that's the best answer, how do I find them?
Also, what's a fair price? Is it $150, or is it $400? (I want to be fair to whomever I buy it from, but I also want to be fair to me the: customer...)
Knowledge to share?
So, the little monsters(who turn two y.o. on March 15th. The Ides of March - so fitting) broke their cat tree last night.
They love that 'perch' so I have no choice but to replace it.
Thoughts on how? Do I go to a big retailer b/c they'll be cheaper.
It's March! I want 100% rainy days between now and early May.
This is natural for the PNW. This is good 🙂
And I'm printing that note out and putting it on my refrigerator so I see it every day...
"All good
No reason to feel embarrassed"
Can you tell that to me every day?
@scoutandt.bsky.social I didn't realize that post was public...
I don't like getting upset, and I would rather no one sees that when it happens. So, I'm kinda embarrassed.🤷♀️
But please know - I was responding - and I probably shouldn't have 😏
And why the (as it appears to others): defensive and you're 100% wrong
Rather then: conversation and learning is good...
Thank you for responding. And I always take any statement/ comment regarding PCHH as coming from an attorney.
Here's the conversation that doesn't happen: why do you have no ability to look at things from your listeners perspective?
And that's why I'm glad we're "Seattle Friend."
It might seem silly - but even this whole interaction was about how we share info and help - that means the world to me 🙂
Thank you so much! I'm grateful for your knowledge and that you helped me fix an issue that was driving me crazy.
You're a good person 🙂
I spent 18 days in Iran in 2015.
(I followed the JCPOA negotiations closely b/c I was enthralled w/ Wendy Sherman's intelligence & she became a personal hero even though we've never met...)
I also have close friends in Israel, & I stand behind your statement, b/c to my knowledge it's correct. TY
Well, that's b/c there wasn't someone sitting next to you.
It doesn't matter if they are male or female - it just matters that they are there, and life is a little better...
I won't use other platforms b/c I don't want to give them my money.
But I really want to learn how to block this account (I don't want to give their name extra search-ability...
Bluesky...
Hey @amay206.bsky.social how do I block posts from "the needling?"
I'm asking b/c I find them to be so violent twd anyone (especially women!) who live in Seattle & don't look to them as 'the Oracle'
They're basically the "libs of tiktok" for insighting violence & don't want them in my feed. TY!
Over 6 years, while living in DC & Chicago - I dated a guy in The Netherlands.
We often stayed local when I'd see him, but about 40% of the time, we traveled.
On the road in Europe, he would watch Friends.
It drove me crazy! But apparently 20 yr old reruns of Friends is what made him happy 😔
But with no new data coming in - from real ppl in the field - all conclusions are "stale" immediately.
This sounds like a waste of time for no significant or 'real and applicable" results...
A sticker for the Real Cartagena FC is leaning against a wooden box on a bookshelf.
Love this! Cartagena was the first city outside the US I ever visited. I did a student exch there when I was 15 & fell in love w/ it. Though oddly, I've never been back...
I also (casually) follow their FC team, but it's more for fun than anything else. I hope you're having a great time there! 🇨🇴
Isfahan has a lot of students & in certain ways it reminded me of Boston... It's full of young, cosmopolitan, and highly educated ppl who want a better life.
Shiraz is very art & history focused, & kind of a 'melting pot' of Silk Road cultures. A beautiful city...
Such sadness 😔
I have been to Tehran, Kermanshah, Isfahan & Shiraz. All are major metropolitan cities w/ large populations & cultural significance.
Kermanshah probably has the most foreigners, as it's a 'petrol-town' & most ppl I saw there were German & Scandinavian (all men) who work in the oil industry.
To this day - still my favorite WSJ chart showing their belief on the composition of working people in the USA...
Where are we getting the 'slutty' from? I watched the 16 seconds, and it looked nieve and trusting to me. Kinda like season #1 Peggy Olsen!
(Said by someone who started MM from season 1 last week, and is seeing it as a more complicated and deep show than remembered...)
