  • Chaotic good. I have bookmarks, I just forget to use them.

    I have a very old book (published in 1794) that has leaves, spiders, some writing, as well as fire and water damage. Not worth anything in the condition it’s in, but it’s mine and I love it. I’ve always wanted to know why there were spiders in it, but I’m thankful it’s not bound in human leather.

    Save for a few I bought second hand, and the first book I ever owned (I managed to have it signed by the author 20 years later) the rest of my books look like they are fresh off a bookstore shelf.

    Moving the fireworks to when the sun is high in the sky will be a hard sell, no one can see them and everyone will complain, daysider and nightsider.

    Tell the markets to stay open past noon or the shopping centres to stay open later than five. Late night shopping where I live is six pm. Weekend shopping? Four pm, unless the shop randomly decides to close at two. I’ve lost count how often I have rocked up to a store, and hour before closing, to find out they closed early so they could go enjoy the sun.

    Seriously, I hate that if I keep to my normal sleep schedule (and this avoids insomnia and being sick all the time), I have a two hour window on most days to get things done. That two hours is from the moment I wake until shops close, not including the normal wake up stuff like showering, or eating. It also doesn’t include travel time, and I live in a sprawl where everything is a half hour away. I’d love to support the farmers markets, or browse the local markets and fairs. They are closing when I arrive, and I’ve already sacrificed sleep to try and attend.


  • A male staff member was yelling at and berating a female for god knows what. She was trying to get away from him, and he’d followed her around the office down the stairs and into the washroom.

    She was the manager’s fiancee, and there were three witnesses. We were honestly worried for her safety and the receptionist was about to call 911.

    Consequences for the abusive minidicked coworker? NONE.



  • Yes, but since they have already begun on the furniture, you will need to train them out of it.

    Find your best cat treat, (for our cat it is dried strips of beef) We began by placing the treat on the scratching post - or hiding them if possible. When the cat uses the scratching post (we have three different ones in the house, and they all see use). When cat uses the scratching post - praise and a treat. Uses furniture? Water gun NEAR the cat. (intentional miss)

    The goal is a positive connection to the desired behaviour, and a neutral to negative for undesired. We had to go neutral because our cat is a rescue and pretty anxious. We didn’t want to add to it. Now she doesn’t use the couches at all, and runs to the scratching post when we enter the room and shows us she is using the post so she’ll get a treat.
