My new kitten had a terrible cold when we first got him. I’ve never heard a cat sneeze so much. We even had to wipe his nose with tissues. Glad to hear your guy is doing better!

Perfectly understandable.

It’s the principle of the thing. I’m not going to delete myself, pretend I wasn’t there for all those years. The record stands. (Except for any media posted prior to 2014, which now exists only on my personal cloud storage, I guess.)

I haven’t deleted my account - it’s 17 years old! But I also haven’t posted in a couple months other than saying I’ve moved to Mastodon. I said I’d hold on to the bitter end & I will. I’m not leaving, they’ll have to evict me.

I’m sorry about your dad.

Amazing shiny fur.

Build a high-speed train from Columbia, SC to Charleston, SC. In the grand scheme of things, it might seem like a waste of money. But man, for the few dozen years I’ve got left on this earth, it would be awesome to see & experience.

And here I thought the problem with Cincinnati chili was its texture.
