My mom and I spent a lot of time living in shelters. Come Christmas, they held a 'Kids Day' ostensibly to give the moms a break. They actually rounded us up and let us pick out one small present and one big present for our moms. This was 32 years ago, and I still cry thinking about it. What a beautiful gesture for a kid.

When I was in high school (girls' Catholic school), the girl who sat in front of me was really poor, like her uniform was frequently dirty as was her hair. I started noticing that a couple of times of month, she would be called to the office and come back with a paper shopping bag. The sisters were giving her extra groceries, like soap, some food items, etc. There was no such thing as welfare or food stamps. I only saw the contents because I sat right behind me. Now, that's a good kind of charity.

I'm an adopted kid, adopted the day after I was born. Everyone always told me my adoptive mom was not my real mom. I'm 38 now amd my mommy was my mommy and nothing less. I can assure you this ment the world to your mom calling her mom.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
I was adopted at birth. (I'm 42 now.) My parents have always been my parents, because they ARE my parents. I'm sorry you had to go through other people telling you that <3 I've in fact recently gotten in touch with one of my biological sisters and my biological mother, and I called my sister "big sis" and called my bio mom "mom". Apparently they weren't expecting that and it made them both so happy. But to me it was a simple truth - I have three sisters, one just happens to not be a DNA relative. I'm not ashamed of being adopted, and I consider ALL of them - bio and not - to be family. It doesn't negate my adoptive mom being my mom when I call my bio mom "mom", if that makes ANY sense XD

Bored Panda got in touch with the lovely ladies behind Love of Aging, an organization dedicated to helping older folks live life to the fullest. Naturally, we wanted to know if there was any story behind its creation.
“Love of Aging was founded in 2020 by three friends — Candace Shivers (now 77), Liz Dietz (now 70), and Maureen Charles (now 64) – all experts on the difference that attitude makes one's experience of life. As we aged, we noticed that society wanted us to believe that life after 60 was on an inevitable downward slope, but that was not our experience. We found a lot to love about this stage of life, and we suspected that the key to our own experience was our attitude.”

This is so beyond sweet. It's not enough the little girl is taking the dog out. It's not even enough that she's careful with him. No, she has to give him a good chase of the mail carrier. I can't imagine the dog's joy.
LakotaWolf (she/her) 1 year ago
I can guarantee that dog feels absolutely grand. When Stilgar was paralyzed for two months while he was still battling distemper, we took him everywhere in a giant dog stroller. We took him to several of our town's parks. I would grab every single leaf and stick and feather that I spied in the park and bring them over to him so he could sniff them, and I would "toss" the sticks for him into the front of the stroller so he could reach his head forward and "fetch" them (he would then lean his head over towards me to "bring me the stick".) His tail would be thumping the whole time. I'd sometimes hold him in my arms and run around with the other dogs in the dog park so Stilly could feel like he was running around with the other puppers himself. Stilly is such a sweet-hearted doofus today that I KNOW those activities had a positive impact on him XD

Dogs are the best. I just love them. My therapist had a beautiful old golden retriever (who sadly died recently at a grand old age) and he would just heave himself up from his comfy doggy bed and sit next to me when I was recounting something particularly traumatic. He just knew that his big soft presence would be soothing, and it was. Thank you, Rocco! We all contributed plants for his grave in her garden and it's now in full bloom.

This is a thing with retrievers. They like to retrieve whatever smells like you when they're thinking of you. Mine would miss me when I was gone, so would collect my dirty underclothes at the front door to comfort himself. Kinda sweet, but kinda embarrassing when taking home company.

If a dog brings you something they value, whether smelly socks, a bone or a chewed ball, it's their way of showing their love by offering you their most precious thing. They don't do it to everyone, it has to be earned, so I really appreciate every time my sweet old mutt presents me with her favourite plastic bone. ❤️

So we decided to ask them to share some common misconceptions about living at an advanced age. “We all have hidden biases. Mostly, we don’t realize we hold preconceptions about aging. Yet research shows that – although there are exceptions in countries like China and Japan – most of the world’s prevailing cultural age beliefs today are negative. We have been bombarded with these negative age beliefs since infancy and they result in implicit bias – that is, unconscious, unintended beliefs that shape our thinking and actions.”

Growing up, we had a frosted-glass front door, which meant I could sorta see my dog, but he couldn't see that I could see him... but he could hear me. He would wait for me at the front door, and as I approached he'd get all excited and run up and down the stairs in excitement. And as I opened the front door, he'd plop on his side and pretend he was sound asleep to play it cool.

When I was young we had a Chihuahua named Cinnamon that would go apeshit at the sound of my Mom's truck. It was hilarious because my Mom was in her 50's and after Dad died she had to trade in his old Ford truck, since it was on its last leg (we also had a 70's station wagon with wood panels on the side) bought a 85 Chevy that was a fire engine red truck, with a big block motor and one of my Sister's boyfriend put on big tires and silver bed rails, so needless to say it made a very distinct noise. My friends had a airbrushed license plate for the front of the truck that said "Hotrod Granny" which she loved. Anyways, it didn't matter if Mom was home and it was 2 am, Cinnamon would go nuts when he heard Mom's truck. Which was okay when he gave us warning that Mom was almost home, but if you had borrowed her truck and out past curfew, that damn dog made it IMPOSSIBLE to sneak in to the house. I swear to God we got busted more times because of Cinnamon and that little thing was Mom's alarm and tattle tell, so she spoiled the s**t out of him. 😂😂

I'd still be sitting on my couch, watch TV or reading, so it's not like I'd do anything different to signal he was coming home.. they just seemed to always know when he was on his way..

“Myth #3: Aging causes grievous memory impairment. Reality: Minor, short-term memory lapses are to be expected (at all ages) and are not an indication that our brains are in a general state of deterioration. In fact, other types of memory and brain function show no signs of deterioration and even improvement with age. Semantic memory – the recall of general knowledge – improves as we age. Procedural memory – our ability to recall and carry out a routine behavior, like driving a car or playing a musical instrument -- stays intact, neither improving nor declining. Neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to stay flexible and sprout new neural connections) continues to develop.”

Duke was the neighbor's/landlord's dog. Was eating beef ribs cooked on the grill and hollered across the fence if it would be ok to give the bones to Duke. Permission granted, I dropped the paper plate of rib bones over the fence, and realized I couldn't get the plate. I got down to his level and said "Duke, I need the plate" and put my hand out. Duke nosed the bones off the plate, and pushed it under the gap in the chain link. Friend's at the cookout's minds blown, so was mine, but I just said "Thanks"...(small tail wag).

Same here. I feel you. Now I just make my own plans. Last year I drove out to the country, went to a dahlia farm, stopped at a roadside fruit stand for Italian plums, and took a car ferry across the river. All by myself. And it was one of my best birthdays. You don't need anyone else to celebrate; YOU celebrate you! Edit for spelling.

So legit just about 10-15 minutes ago, I was laying in bed scrolling thru this thread. About 5-10 minutes after I lay down my cat, Toto, decided she wants to step on my upper torso region, with all her weight. Mind you she may only weigh 7-9 lbs, but some areas are more sensitive and hurt more, when jumped on and what not. Anyway I was kinda in a slightly irritated/cranky tired mood, as I laid down and my Toto decides to jump on and dig her paws/weight on to me,.which hurts, especially when trying to relax, to go to sleep, hopefully. She then moves with her back end in the general direction of my face, as she swishes her tip of her tail on my face ect to tickle me& cheer me up. It worked and I laughed a lot, then we cuddled happily. 🥰 she's never really done that before. 💕

We went to several haunted houses every year. We liked it, but at the same time, I was utterly terrified of the people jumping out at me. I remember one that was especially intense-- they jumped out at the adults, too, so there was no place to just take a deep breath. I couldn't take it. I pushed my mom towards one of the monsters so I could get by safely. Afterwards, she teased me about sacrificing her. I felt horribly guilty for years, as if I were in room 101.

Last time I went through a haunted house the guy at the beginning is doing his creepy talking thing and showing you the way in and then his baseball bat, with nails sticking out of it, got stuck on some web-like draping. I stopped and helped him get untangled, in his normal voice he was like "thanks so much, that was embarrassing". A few minutes later a 20 something girl working in the haunted house was doing her creeping following thing after she had jumped out to scare us and my daughter strikes up a conversation with her asking how to she got this job and did she have to audition, etc. The girl ended up giving her suggestions and tips. Apparently we don't do haunted house correctly.

During my one year of college, part of my commute was a roughly 20 minute walk to the train station at 5:30 in the morning. I always had to leave five minutes or so earlier than strictly necessary because there was a Basset along the way who would wake up the neighborhood if I didn't stop and cuddle for a few minutes. I rarely walked home the same way, but one evening I did, the dog rushed out to greet me, and the man who was in the yard asked if I was the one who got Edgar so excited in the mornings. All he could see from his bedroom window was the dog accepting/giving love at the fence.

Years ago, I saw an withered old man who absolutely reminded me of a man who was one of the all-time legends of music at the DMV. We're talking one notch below Elvis Presley legend. We're talking taught Mick Jagger the moves like Jagger legend. We're talking Led Zeppelin aspired to sound like him legend. I couldn't help but stare, even though he seemed so old. I'll call him Rock Legend. The DMV clerk called out, "Legend? Mr Rock Legend?" He shuffled up there, and I was so intrigued I whipped out my phone and found that he did, for God knows why, live in my county! Now, it's possible that it WASN'T him. Both his first and last name were very common; might as well be John Smith. Maybe the clerk didn't recognize him because he was so old and frail. But it seemed bizarre to me that one of the most famous people in the world just had his name called out in a crowd and not one person batted an eye. (And yes, if you're in to origins of rock, you've probably guessed who, but I won't confirm it just because I don't want anyone knowing for certain what county I used to live in.)

This is a duel disk from the tv show Yu-Gi-Oh. It's also a card game, whee you have card duels wth decks of around 30-40 cards. There are some basic similarities with Magic The Gathering, but they do play quite differently. Yu-Gi-Oh is the only duelling type card game that I know the rules of off the top of my head, though I must say that I have never played with a duel disk. Also the person in the photo is apparently not playing by the rules - you can only have three of the same named card per deck and they clearly have four of the same card on the field.

This is why you should keep your cat indoors. Enjoy your house cats; love them for blessing you with the unique gift of their presence. But know that each one is an ecological catastrophe each time they go outside. And it doesn't matter whether they are well-fed or not; does your cat stop playing with its toys after dinner? Do they stop stalking each other? No, they kill for play; it's an instinct to keep their skills sharp.
Spencer's slave no longer 1 year ago (edited)
This cat is a wild cat so it doesn't exactly have someone to go to the supermarket and buy food for it. Spencer, my late cat, was not a hunter. He never wore a collar, he never roamed, he was scared of birds, he was inside at night every night and during the day when I was at work, had food to graze on constantly, would happily lie on the deck watching the skinks. Before he died, he liked to watch the cows in the paddock behind us. So no, not all cats are hunters or ecological disasters just like all dogs don't bark incessantly or bite.

When I had a cat he would do this also, but he would totally submerge himself under the covers. Whole body including his head.

It looks like Nopon greasers! Also, how did I never notice before this how much the Nopon in Xenoblade look like rice balls?

Last year I reconnected with my best friend from primary school. He moved abroad when we were about to start middle school. At that time email was the only internet connection most people had in my country (~2005-2010) but only our parents had email accounts so we exchanged emails through their accounts. But the connection eventually fell off. I always thought of him, never forget his birthday date, and unsuccessfully tried finding him on social media for years. Then last year another friend recognized him in an old photo I posted and passed me his account handle (not with his name). I was ecstatic! We spoke for days as we reconnected! We realized we both even ended up in the same field (medicine)!

Nono, You can’t leave us hanging. Are you still in touch, are you still friends, have you met up since then? You can’t just leave us hanging like that! Don’t do that to us! We’re invested! Well, I am!

I live in an area with a lot of black bears. There's a conservation group that keeps tabs on them by capturing and tagging with ear tags. They do periodic census checks by putting out loads of peanuts and logging the ones that show up. Well, there was an older big male that hadn't been seen in a while, so when one of the census-takers saw what appeared to be that male, he grabbed his phone, went out to where the bear was eating peanuts, grabbed him by the ear for a close-up of the tag. Apparently this man does this kind of thing all the time and has only been bitten once, on the hand.

I assume the deer have filed a cease and desist order for their apples being eaten.

This is cute, but I hope a hunter didn't leave the apples there to bait the bears.

Maybe he loves his job, and would be lonely and bored if he retired. Perhaps it is his choice to keep teaching, because he feels well enough to continue.

I've seen the original post, and what the dog would do then is start licking any door in the house. Cupboards, bedroom doors, any door. So if they didn't hear from their dog for a while or didn't see him, someone would need to go looking for the dog. He'd usually be found licking a door, and would then be taken outside.

it's missing the end of the story, where the owner now keeps finding the dog licking doors when they want to go out because they know they need to lick doors to go out but don't know which one does it

The Taylor Swift concerts in Vienna this weekend had to be cancelled due to concerns about a terrorist attack. The city of Vienna decided that people with a ticket for the concert can enter the city's museum and public pools for free this weekend and many bars and cafés made special offers to anyone with a concert ticket.
