So cute! She's a /r/standardissuecat too.

why is this so funny lmao

It's a project I could see a marketing team putting together. It gets employees doing something fun and you end up with a very shareable video.

They are good roasted, but I'll gladly eat boiled brussel sprouts with just a little salt. The leaves are so soft! I guess I'm lucky to enjoy most veggies regardless of preparation.

I very much prefer your version! The round ones with the eyelashes and horn on top look weird to me.

I do this but I usually leave the cup of hot water in the microwave with it. 10 minutes or so seems to soften it up pretty well.

Yep, my cat follows me around like a shadow most days and is very sweet, but if unfamiliar people show up, she immediately hides.

I recommend checking sites like craigslist when you're ready to get one! I found my bowl lift one for something like $89. I couldn't pick the color but it was too good a deal to pass up.

This method of levelling cake layers has worked really well for me!

I spent hours playing Zoo Tycoon as a kid including the expansion packs for dinosaurs and sea creatures... and all of 31 minutes with Planet Zoo on Steam. I'm not saying I won't try it again and see if I like it better once I get the hang of the gameplay, but I really just wanted to play the old game, maybe with better graphics and more content. I have a lot of nostalgia for the computer games I grew up playing like Amazon Trail 2, Jump Start, and Cluefinders.

What? That sounds so crazy to me. I'm guessing my vision is worse than yours. Without my glasses I wouldn't be able to see my computer screen, books, sheet music... really I couldn't read or write anything unless I pull it up inches from my face. People's faces wouldn't have a softening filter, they'd just be fuzzy blobs.

I can understand staring out a window and enjoying a bokeh version of a tree for a while.

Maybe consider a more shallow bowl in addition to the rocks. The bee drinker we have is wide and flat and water gets to maybe an inch deep max and has a few rocks in the middle. I've seen very few drowned bugs. This is such a good and adorable thing you're doing for them!

Sure! I like "Texas Only: Cottage Bakers" and "Texas Cottage Bakers & Sweet Makers"

If you're interested, there's a couple facebook groups for Texas cottage food makers. I'm still mostly a hobby baker but I've found the community pretty helpful. Good luck with everything, the cake looks delicious!

Her expression reminds me of this.

What?? How can it be that wrong? That would make me so mad.

Yep, I love super squishy and flat pillows. I sleep on my stomach usually and don't like my head being raised at a weird angle. There have been times when I'm away from home that I push the pillows away and just sleep with my head on the mattress intead.

Yeah, I get that the blog is a means of income for people and part of that is ad revenue, but ads can be so crazy intrusive these days. For my own sanity I use an ad blocker on my computer and avoid those sites on my phone.

Never tried citrus but I love a little salt on watermelon. It tastes good to me anyway but the salt gives it an extra something delicious.

I love the way Beryl looks but I don't think I could name a kid that... I'd be afraid of it being confused with "Barrel".

A friend of mine is a wildlife rehabber and she gets baby raccoons every year to care for until they're old enough to be released. It seems to be both very rewarding but sometimes heartbreaking when an animal is too sick or injured and doesn't make it.

Ok I did it! That's a good reminder.

Agreed! The chewie should help. It did for me when I had a stubborn tooth.

I love that!!

These made me say "Those are cookies??" aloud. Impressive! Rock candy on top?
