Top temperature today was 42.3c (108.1f), but the top ‘feels like’ temperature was 50.3c (122.5f). Woo!
I’m ready for autumn now, thank you.

I swear, Australia is actually Hell, we just haven’t figured it out yet… O.O Stay safe, Melrick, and keep hydrated.
I would suggest go to the ocean to cool off, but… 
you know…

Yeah… so, the parental units and baby sis with her fam are all living in the town next to these, and the threat of an eruption is growing larger, so I’d greatly appreciate all and any vibes of the good and safety kind to be sent their way if you can spare them, and if you have any gods or goddesses that you are on friendly terms with I’d also appreciate any pokes you’d be willing to give them on my family’’s behalf. This shit is getting scary now that the threat of an eruption is so close to town. Thank you, all.

Thanks so much guys. The latest updates are that my family got to go into town (along with some 2000 other folks) to get essentials from their houses, so both sis and her fam, and our parents have their essentials, and other valuables that they could gather in time (and my nephew’s hamster), and both reported that there’s no damage to either house. There are some cracks on the outside of my parents’ house, but they don’t seem to be more than surface damage, at least from what my parents could see.
As for the town itself, there’s a crack that’s going through the entire town, and the entire west side of the town has sunk by around one metre. So, that’s an interesting development, and the danger isn’t over yet. But, the scientists are sounding a bit more optimistic that there won’t be an eruption inside the town, although it has not been ruled out completely.

Just to keep everyone updated, as of now (23:38 GMT) parental units are staying with my Nuncle in the capital (where I also live) and baby sis and fam have invaded her brother in law’s house for the night at least, in another township in the metropolitan area. So, they are all safe at least for the night.
And the authorities have put out an evacuation order for the whole town of Grindavík, for the night, and then it will be reevaluated in the morning. They are expecting an eruption at any moment now, and apparently the fissure that seems the most likely to erupt at this time could potentially reach all the way underneath the town.
So, just keep everyone in that nearly 4000 person town in your thoughts, thank you.

Repeat after me. “Homemade Chocolate Chip Cookies should not be counted as breakfast.” No, doesn’t work… munch munch. 🍪 🍪

Fuck that shit, you are a “responsible” adult, you pay your own bills, you buy your own groceries, you can have whatever the fuck you want for breakfast… Hell, have some breakfast-ice cream with your breakfast chocolate chip cookies! Be fancy as fuck, and put some sprinkles on that shit!

Got bitten by plot bunny again and can’t finish cause the half formed idea is drowning out the chapter I’m writing 😅

Have you tried biting it back?

Unfortunately, the cat’s never going to be old enough for a beer. He’s in end stage kidney failure, and I get to call up the vet later today 😢

I’m so sorry to hear that, Desi. Give him lots of hugs and love, and a little kiss from me. And have a
for yourself.

And now I’ve had my colonoscopy without anesthetic. The procedure itself wasn’t a problem at all; the hours of horrific diarrhoea before it, on the other hand, now that was nasty.
-
I’ve had a few of those but never under anaesthesia. They usually give me a mild sedative that helps me relax, but I’m usually chatting away with the doctor and nurse, and watching the monitor while they do it. But I absolutely agree with you on the preparations. To describe it in a very vivid phrase, it’s like shitting the fires of Hell…
I’ll admit, the last two times I’ve gone in, my gastro told me not to prep, and I felt SO sorry for him. But he’s the expert, so he should know why he didn’t want the prep done… 
But please, keep us updated on the capsule’s journey, that will be a hoot to read, I’m sure
Also, on a more serious note, I hope you get the all clear and that everything will be alright

Six months to Christmas!
(that’s all folks.)

I know
It’s a sort of family joke, baby sister’s birthday is on December 22nd. When she was a kid she refused to be excited for Christmas until after her birthday despite all the stores filling up with Christmas stuffs. Needless to say, she used to get a lot of Christmas stuff for her birthday

This is absolute crock… everyone knows that my baby sister’s birthday comes first (in a little less than six months) And THEN Christmas will arrive…

The Naming of Cats
T. S. Eliot1888 –1965The Naming of Cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter
When I tell you, a cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.
First of all, there’s the name that the family use daily,
Such as Peter, Augustus, Alonzo, or James,
Such as Victor or Jonathan, George or Bill Bailey—
All of them sensible everyday names.
There are fancier names if you think they sound sweeter,
Some for the gentlemen, some for the dames:
Such as Plato, Admetus, Electra, Demeter—
But all of them sensible everyday names,
But I tell you, a cat needs a name that’s particular,
A name that’s peculiar, and more dignified,
Else how can he keep up his tail perpendicular,
Or spread out his whiskers, or cherish his pride?
Of names of this kind, I can give you a quorum,
Such as Munkustrap, Quaxo, or Coricopat,
Such as Bombalurina, or else Jellylorum—
Names that never belong to more than one cat.
But above and beyond there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess.
When you notice a cat in profound meditation,
The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
His ineffable effable
Effanineffable
Deep and inscrutable singular name.From Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats. Copyright © 1939 by T. S. Eliot, renewed © 1967 by Esme Valerie Eliot.

I still speak of my Lolo as if I only lost her last week, when she actually passed some 29 years ago, or so.

Lately, whenever I try to look at the reviews of any of my stories, my browser has been giving me the “Your connection is not private. Attackers might be trying to steal your information from cartoon.adult-fanfiction.org (for example, passwords, messages, or credit cards).” Is this happening to anyone else?

Manta enabled the https thing when she overhauled the whole thing. I can’t tell you why we’re getting the security pop up now, but I’m sure that Manta vill look into it as soon as she’s able to. She’s been extremely busy in her RL work lately, to the best of my knowledge.

The very happiest of birthdays to WillowDarkling, aka my Neko Wenchling. May this be a fabulous year, my darling!
-
Thank you, guys
I spent the evening at a stand up comedy show with my sisters, and it was absolutely brilliant. They are both mothers, so getting a night off in the city for themselves isn’t an easy thing, especially not on a school night, so it was even more fun to get to spend time with them alone, with no kids, even though I absolutely adore my nephews and nieces

Is it a sign that I’m getting old, or that the parental units are getting old, when the pair of them go down on their hands and knees to peer under the kitchen cabinets, and my first thought is, “Are they both going to be able to get up ok?”….?
-
@Wilde_Guess You are very right. I am so lucky to still have them both. They’ve both had to bury their parents already, only one of whom passed from old age. And my parents are still relatively healthy so I am selfish and hope they’ll stick around for a while longer.

@Desiderius Price Oh, gods! I did not need that image in my head! Thankfully though, they’re both so tech-challenged that I can be (fairly) sure they wouldn’t know how to start up an OF page

Honestly, Bronxie, given how the two of them are (despite their “old” age), if they were to find themselves trapped on an air mattress, they’d just take their time getting up from it again, on purpose… And no, one never grows out of getting the ick when the parents start making out in the same room as you…

oh, I wish I could
but I’m pretty sure that neither one of them would be able to get up from an air mattress

Well, the admins of AFF are so skilled they scared the crap out of me.
The other day I got an update that I would need to verify my email or something to that effect, since the site was at long last coming out of Read Only mode.
...only problem was, I received this email at an address I didn’t think you all knew.

And I’m a cat….
