So does mine... Its funny. I thought I was the only one who had bought my cat an IKEA-rat. :D
That is the most pleasant kitty face I have seen in my life. Kitty poof poof needs an award. Please let there be such a thing for that floof ball.
I bought 2 of those rats for my Mini Schlnauzer as a joke as they're supposed to be good ratters, and she didn't even notice one that was in front of her nose. Best made toys she's ever had. Have withstood 11kg dog hanging from the tail/nose and not even a small rip in 6 years!
I used to work with somebody who extremely phobic about rats. So, obviously I bought him one of these. It used to appear in all sorts of places including his work boots and his car. As there were a few of us involved I never got the blame for it.
*Teefs. (how dare you misspell teefs you green forest swine! /j)

Forget a good day, that sounds like the real definition of the Good Life :-)
This collection contains a wide variety of reasons to smile - funny and cute pets, amusing dating or parenting situations, various unconventional methods for preparing for the upcoming Halloween... and, of course, the top star of the Internet of the last few weeks, the cute baby hippo Moo Deng, who, by the way, recently cut her first teeth.
This happened to me, I think. I lost one of my cats for 3 months. Was devastated as he was MY cat (We had 4 but he and myself had bonded). I went to work one day and since then he was nowhere to be seen. 3 months later I get a call from the vet to say he had been found. BEST DAY EVER!. Turns out he was found half a mile from my workplace. I think he probably crept into my car and legged it. At least I got him back. Microchip your pets people!
Smart kid. That one is going places. Maybe not good places, but definitely places.
Future politician! It’s all about how you frame it. She wasn’t lying… technically
Creative way of saying Im in trouble at school? Or maybe not. Well, you'll know when you get there. :D
Talking with young mormons is interesting. They tend to be very lovely people but they're so very clearly brainwashed it's disheartening.
I don't care about the sexuality of any of the people involved. If you start a conversation like this and the people/person you are talking to makes it clear that they are not interested then just go. After that it is harassment.
What is Mormon missionary work? Is it similar to Jehovah witness door to door that ride bikes wear white button up collared shirt with black slacks and black tie?
Missionary work is long-standing cultural tradition in many religions and philosophies. When people believe something is of value, they feel a responsibility to share it. That said, history shows that missionary work has also been about control and oppression. With in the Mormon (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints) community, young adults often serve a 1.5 to 2 year mission. They get "called" assigned to some part of the world and the primary focus is teaching people about the "restored gospel of Jesus Christ." There are also service missions in which the primary focus is doing service. The Jehovah Witness missionary model is different in that individuals do not go on full-time mission but go door-to-door (and other methods) in their available time at home. The male Mormon missionaries do wear white shirts and ties.

After all, the earliest written opinions found by people about the world being in decline and never being the same date back several thousand years BC. And, damn it, as long as we can smile at little things, we're not hopeless at all!
Wonder if her teacher felt the same way. A great teacher would applaud the creativity. A s****y teacher would get pissed off she didn’t conform to instructions. I’m not a teacher, much less an art teacher or an artist, but I do love me some harmless non-conforming creativity, especially in a young child. Hope she never loses it, because I also hope she never crosses paths with the s****y teacher who humiliates her out of it.
Yikes. Sorry you had s****y teachers in your past, friend!

There is a plant called the fried egg flower, limnanthes something or other, possibly douglasii

So many teachers do cookie-cutter arts. These are your instructions, here are your materials. Use your imaginations does not enter into it at all.
The sort of thing my daughter used to do, she's now at university studying illustration
I wondered that myself... An unbirthday is an event celebrated on all days of the year which are not a person's birthday. It is a neologism which first appeared in Lewis Carroll's 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass. The concept gave rise to "The Unbirthday Song" in the 1951 animated feature film Alice in Wonderland.

Since time immemorial, laughter has played a vitally important role in the formation of human society. “The idea was that laughter was an external signal that can tell the group everything is OK, we can relax. (There is) no need to be anxious or threatened by what’s happening around us."
"And so this would really be a great survival tool for groups of humans,” CNN quotes Janet Gibson, a professor emerita of cognitive psychology at Grinnell College in Iowa.
"And the belief is, is that over the centuries, the brain kept these connections so that we now laugh when… we hear things that are relaxing, funny, surprising, amusing," Dr. Gibson presumes. So why not laugh at this list again - especially since there really are some amusing things here.
Animals are wonderful in our urban world. I dislike the neighborhood I live in right now but I dislike it a lot less when my neighbors chickens are out making noises and wondering around.
I just moved to a tiny town in Florida 106 people. It seems like everyone in town is a dog person. Everyone I see has to stop and say hi to Sunshine and most people know the dogs names not the persons name.
FYI, the breed is Japanese Bobtail. Beautiful cats with delicate faces. (They're born without a tail; if you happen to see one, it's not abuse or an accident.)
Some doctors seriously (if we can, of course, talk seriously about such a thing as laughter per se) believe that laughter helps our heart, because when we laugh, endorphins are released, and they, in turn, are able to reduce inflammation and help the heart and blood vessels relax. In addition, stress hormones create a load on the heart, the level of which laughter can also reduce. So laugh, friends - it won't hurt anyway!
Maple looks like a,mixed breed. I know he or she is part Dachshund but what else is it mixed with?
Pppppfff.....please. Batman doesn't have a mum anymore.
Load More Replies...Well, we leave you alone with this selection so now please feel free to do whatever you want. Read, scroll, smile, laugh - and let the good mood not leave you throughout the whole week! After all, as another great French writer, Victor Hugo, once rightly said, "Laughter is the sun: it drives winter away from the human face!"
Look up bedjet.com. These are a bit high so maybe check one of the "other" sites.
Cats are adorable but, let's face it. They only really care about themselves.
I have always been able to write, whether it’s fact or fiction. I actually enjoy it, when I have something to write about. But I don’t want to become a writer. Never have. More to the subject, I have never been able to stick to writing in a diary or journal. I tried initially when I got one of those little lockable diaries for Christmas when I was about 9 or 10. Just couldn’t stick with it. Besides, some days just aren’t interesting to write about, and I don’t always have pithy thoughts worthy of putting to paper—-and that didn’t suddenly change and increase when I became an adult. In fact, it decreased as the mundane day-to-dayness of normal life has gone on—-and that’s it necessarily a bad thing, tbh. It at least means my life isn’t full of sturm und drang, but is just flowing along happily. Regardless, having to keep a journal for class would be an absolute misery for me. I can only imagine it’s sheer torture for a child.
But school should be about trying different things out, learning what you like , and sometimes doing the hard things you don't like.
Load More Replies...I had to write on a journal for a class in high school. Near the end of the year, another student stole my journal and wrote things in the margins. He then returned it to me (no consequences from the teacher or administration). I have never written in a journal after that.
I tried to keep a journal once. I couldn't think of anything to write about. So I have up after 2 or 3 days. I agree with Tabitha on some of the things she was saying in her comment.
People r callings themselves "it" now?! That's ridiculous!
Load More Replies...I agree! A loving wife trying to protect her husband from extreme spices - what could possibly be wrong with that? 😆 🌶 FYI, the "it's really spicy" excuse is known to have been said by some mothers (who shall remain nameless) to their young children.
Load More Replies...Was on a cruise, saw a humpback whale jump. Was feeling goofy, so I shouted, "once more with feeling!" and it did. Felt like the whale whisperer for a minute there.
Oh, that is so positive and caring. You are soooo lucky to have family like this.
I thought portrait mode just meant it goes up and down instead of widescreen
Load More Replies...I don't normally drink but now I feel like having one of those :-)
That's because, in France, we teach our kids that meal time is for food only, not work :P
Why on earth would you work on your break? The whole point of the break is to stop working!
Trust me. Language barrier prevented him to fully convey his sarcastic disaproval.
Should not be a case could not but, should not. It's called a break for a reason.
Is there a restaurant in Whole Foods? I can't even afford to walk in the door.
Only in the US. I had a Director once chastise me for taking a full hour for lunch. I asked her if she was going to pay me overtime or let me leave early if I only took 20-30 minutes instead. She said, of course not. And I responded, "And THAT'S why I take my full lunch hour.
Man, those older desks had places for every-damn-thing, didn’t they? And drawers! I miss drawers in desks. I hate having to have everything I need out on top of my desk—-pens, pencils, staplers, tape dispensers, paperwork, etc—-and would love to be able to stash most of it in desk drawers (including one of those bigger file drawers for the paperwork), so I could have more desktop space to actually work without knocking s**t off all the time.
My work desk is basically just a table, which drives me NUTS!
Load More Replies...I still have an entertainment center I bought from Kmart for $80 (USD) back in the ‘90’s. It was built to house a 27” CRT TV and up to five components. There are two small cabinets. Now, I have my 55” TV sitting on top of it, a cable box, a PS4 and a few other decorations and pictures. It has survived several moves and I figure there is no point in replacing it until it actually needs to be done.
I have one very similar to what you're describing, bought from JCPenney in 1992 (under $100!)... a very solid piece of furniture! Love the shelves and the two cabinets. The 27" TV is long gone, of course, along with my beloved VCR.
Load More Replies...The wife of the company owner got the company in the divorce. I was in the warehouse looking for some archive files and came across a 1910 Oak Crest rolltop desk. I asked her how much she wanted for it. It had belonged to her FIL, whom she hated, so she told me $100. I had my husband bring the truck over immediately. It is the perfect size for the end of my dining room giving me an 8x8 home office. I've had it for over 20 years now.
My old desk does an arabesque and I've never once heard it cry. It's always there for me just waiting to keep my hopes alive
How to say your on the spectrum without saying it... "there were empty blanks"
Yeah. At least they'll know who call if they find ur body. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's it! I am officially hungry for summer pasta and pan de cristal :-)
Fun fact: the pasta name "orecchiette" comes from their shape, which resembles a small ear.
Yep, immediate punch scenario - purely in self-defence of course.
Load More Replies...Why do people have so much food like at the restaurant? Do they go to eat or watch a movie?
what if its not an employee what if its just a random guy with too much time on his hands
I was the only person in the theatre watching Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. I cannot imagine what I would have done had this happened to me.
I don't know if I would be annoyed or or a distraction from all the ads you have to watch now on the screen before the movie to start.
They used to do this pretty often in the 1960's. They'd have B horror movie marathons on Saturdays aimed at kids, with people dressed up as classic monsters going up and down the aisles. Movies like "Destroy All Monsters" "The Giant Spider", etc., nothing really dark.
This is great! I used to live in a neighborhood where everyone went all out for Halloween. My all-time favorite was the lawn with skeletons in various poses of the Macarena, with the song playing when anyone got close.
Chappell Roan's song Hot To Go -she has people do this dance in the music video and at her shows. It's clearly inspired by YMCA, though
Load More Replies...It's just regular folklore, nothing bizarre about it. "Let's decorate the house with small fairytale creatures and keep an entire tree inside for a month"
Load More Replies...Me and my friend switched glasses as a joke. We both have the same exact prcription
I borrowed a friend's glasses in high school. She hated wearing them and I loved it!
Load More Replies...I can still remember walking out of the mall-located optometrist office with my very first new glasses at roughly 18 or 19. It was amazing! I could see the corners of the store windows. The glass just amazed me.
Mine was 4th grade (school) walked out and for the first time WOW a tree is not just a green blob! I saw individual leaves Beautiful
Load More Replies...My colleague discovered he needed glasses in his 40s, having previously assumed everyone saw things as blurry as he did. I was pretty horrified to discover he was as short-sighted as me and I couldn’t function without glasses. At least he doesn’t drive but has been cycling around on the roads all this time with terrible vision.
My parents figured out I needed glasses one summer when I was playing baseball in little league. The pitch came right for my head. I didn't flinch. Ball hit me right between the eyes (or somewhere in the head). I never ducked. I just fell down.
My mother was too cheap to buy me glasses. Luckily when I started working in the financial district My eyesight was exactly the same as my boyfriend's.
For a second there I read 942.5K as 942000.5, and was wondering who the .5 member was. Like someone’s dog or cat likes soup, or something. Oh the silly things very tired eyes can make us see and tired minds can make us think we’ve seen…
Making soup is amazing especially if cash is short. Nothing much in the fridge? Chop it and cook it and turn it into soup Throw in some spices and you have a lovely healthy meal for very little money. Obviously depending on where you live but, I have a market near me where people can buy a carrier bag full of slightly damaged/old very for very little.
I didn't know it was possible to make chili without beans. Like you could leave out pretty much everything else, but without beans surely it wouldn't be chili?
Load More Replies...Baby won’t care what you’re reading, as long as your tone of voice sounds like you’re reading them a fairy tale or something cute and sweet and maybe even funny like that. You could read them a book of dull tax laws using that kind of tone of voice, and the baby will just smile and giggle the whole time.
The kind of novels I edit for a living are not ones you should be reading to children of any age, regardless of whether they understand words yet or not.
Load More Replies...My Dad used to read The Wall Street Journal out loud to me, in the same voice he used for fairy tales. It's all in the delivery. (This was long before "3 Men & a Baby" btw).
I live in a small town in England and various people have set up book libraries around the town. You drop off a book and borrow another one. Also one of the local pubs has a small selection of books that you "buy" for a £ and then take back when you have read it. The only all goes to the local Mountain rescue centre.
I have a Little Free Library at my house that my boyfriend made me for my birthday.
Load More Replies...Where I live they have these little free libraries. You don't borrow them. If you want one , you can take it and keep it. If you want to return it, you can. Or if you have books you don't want, you can donate them to the little free library.
A friend and I swap books all the time. There are several of us in the group, and when a book has been read by all it gets donated to our city library to be sold in their book sale.
I don't know who this is or why the croissant is relevant, but I applaud you all the same!
From what I could find on Google, she's an author whose protagonists tend to be very skinny women who eat a single croissant per day (and nothing else) as their only means of nutrition. That may or may not be exaggeration, I do not know.
Load More Replies...We used to get almond croissants from Bakery Nouveau in West Seattle. My son dubbed them "Yuppy Crack".
I guess OP means twice as in height. Either that or OP doesn't grok what "twice the size" means. EDIT: Apparently I'm illiterate. LOL (misread it)
"Nearly the size of" =/= "twice the size of." I think your brain glitched for a second when you read the post (been there, done that).
Load More Replies...Are your images working? Pretty obvious who she's talking about. The book is right there.
Load More Replies...If someone was wearing the sweater, they would have their arms up in surrender... and the white sweater/white flag only adds to the image.
Load More Replies...I'd like seriously rescue it, wash it in Woolite and air dry it. It looks to be a nice sweater!
I found a scarf in the gutter, under a heavy rain, it looked ruined but I picked it up anyway, then washed it several times and finally it's nice. I tryed to find the owner without any success. Now I'm looking for a place where I can donate it for somebody who may need it this winter.
