Even if you don’t care, it’s probably a good idea to at least pay attention to the announcement of a new baby, because this is a new person, who will be a significant influence on their life and may have some impact on your own. Later on, it’s considered polite to at least ask "and how’s (name of spouse) and (name of child or children, or you can say “the kids”). One isn’t expected to remember every detail, but at least acknowledge they exist.

Let me guess, there’s a toothy treat just out of frame, but he’s too comfy on the rug to get up.

This sent me to Wikipedia for kiwifruit, where I read the Chinese characters translate as “macaque peach,” but I don’t know if that means “peach-ish fruit macaques like to eat” or “peach-ish fruit with fur like a macaque.”

I think we can skip the " Chinese gooseberry" interval.

I assume the Kiwi who rebranded them as “kiwifruit” 🥝 intended both “from New Zealand” and “sorta looks like a kiwi bird.”

Tbf, there is a resemblance to a pinecone, especially if you’re not exactly getting the plumpest, ripest specimens.

Glad he found the right people to take him in.

You could preface it with a location and distance: “Buckingham Palace is about 3 parsecs over yonder as the crow flies,” the Bajoran said, waving a limb vaguely. “Or perhaps a Romulan Warbird instead of a crow.”

Maybe you can just establish communication with his other family so they know he’s visiting you and not hit by a car. Sometimes a noisy bunch of kids can cause a cat to run away, even though they love him.

I’m fixing a hole where the rain comes in, and stops my mind from wandering…

Those Capitalists, they’re eating the dogs, they’re eating the cats!

Chicken is a Bird, and Birds is for Cats. Checkmate.

So, we trick the Don into visiting the UK and then y’all arrest him under the Official Secrets Act? Do you think you could maybe throw him in the Tower of London? Quick, while he’s still just a citizen so it doesn’t count as an International Incident?

(Sorry, I just get so fed up with the spinelessness of our legal system with regard to this traitor.)

Good attitude. Many cats don’t drink enough water, so anything that helps is good for their kidney health.

Which is the stage of, “I’m bored because the people I’m supposed to supervise are busy doing all the stuff. I think I’ll call a meeting.”

(Too many people are at this stage)

Yes, it’s part of how she’s turning from victim to survivor.

Gisèle Pelicot is so strong. She wants the public to see the shameful behavior of these men for what it is. She’s working to change the culture of her country. I wonder if anyone will recognize and turn in any of the men who couldn’t be identified by the police.

One use for a phone book was to prop a little kid in a regular chair so they could eat at the table. Like, after they outgrew a baby highchair and could balance on their own. Also you could prove your strength by ripping one in half.

Listings were usually under the name of the adult male, for safety as well as sexism. A woman living alone would probably use just her initials for safety.

Spaying her will settle her hormones, give her one less reason to try to get out, and will stop any neighborhood tomcats from trying to get in! It’s very much worth doing. Afterwards she may need to wear a onesie for a little while to keep her from licking her stitches, you know how raspy kitty tongues can be.

That’s definitely NOT a bedpan, it’s way too shallow. I’ve seen pewter bowls shaped like that for displaying fruit, but in my head canon it’s for Communion wafers.

Why ruin the birthday of all those people who only get one every four years?
