Well if you would just demonstrate that you know how to catch and kill your own, she could relax about trying to teach you.

First thing they teach first responders: don’t become a second victim, it helps nobody. Look at your big-ass self, you think cat can save you? And if cat goes running for help, who’s gonna listen? Maybe they’d give cat some salmon but you’ll still drown.

Cat loves you and will sit with you while you finish drowning. Then when you get your next life you can go together for some salmon. You still have some lives left, right?

You need to proceed immediately to a place which has a friendly pettable cat. Or cats.

You can look at a cat and do the Slow Blink a few times to say “I’m not threatening you, nor threatened by you.” Which is the closest cats get to “let’s be friends.”

Sad kitty is sad. Hope they fully recover soon.

Article says the camp has been there for a century, and the water washed away the cabin while the girls were asleep… Sounds like climate change to me. Even though the building is surely newer, they’d know where the river had risen to in the past.

Well, Huntsville Alabama has Space Camp and has been integral to US space exploration. Or so I’ve heard, haven’t been there myself.

Once you’ve cooled it and applied polysporin, you should put a bandage to keep from smearing off all the polysporin onto your clothes and keep it clean. If you don’t have a bandage that clean long sleeve will do, but it might get a greasy mark you’ll need to treat later for laundry: try rubbing in a dab of Dawn before laundering it.

Bear in mind, it may randomly start hurting and feeling burny again later, because the nerve endings hate burns. Cold water will help again. Fridge temp is fine, helps numb it without causing ice damage.

Cat hair is notorious for floating everywhere, so yes. That said, the heavy duty (extra-fluffy) dry Swiffer sweeper pads are really helpful if you have smooth floors. And a squeegee is effective to remove cat hair from fabric surfaces they sleep on like the sofa and plush mat. Knit clothes and staticky microfiber fabrics love cat hair, smooth woven cotton lets go of it more easily, if you’re picking out an outfit for an important meeting.

Play a compilation of song covers at exactly 135 BPM so I can do my treadmill without losing my center or my step.

Work the laundry machines, and set a separate timer because the app notifications are unreliable.

Text to check that my kids are alive and assure them that I and their dad are also not dead today.

Order grocery delivery.

Yes. If I have to wait in the ER, I try to think of it as a sign that I’m going to be okay.

Extremely fast service, or people suddenly starting to be really really nice to you, means something very bad is going on.

But since money interferes with logic in so many ways it seemed necessary to mention it.

That part is normal in US emergency rooms as well.

Also notice how the long distance, chaotic distribution, and heavy aid boxes force families to self-select their strongest person, who would also be most able to put up a fight to defend their family. Then the IDF is gunning them down when they’re in the chute, leaving starving women and children that are easily disposed of.

Protected from weather and ambush, high vantage point to survey territory, and it’s a BOX! Purrfect.

I like the point about climate change, if you could trick the genie into agreeing that once you set up your new home you get to stay there. Then pick a spot on the cusp of frigidity. So it will gradually get into the double digits at least.
