  1. 42488 and first morning without a cat in the house in so many years
  2. 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 😢

      Final goodbye is always the bit that sucks.  I know, he couldn’t move without it hurting, and it was only going to get worse; nothing short of torture would delay the inevitable.  No, it was time to let go, let him join his brothers & sister(s) across the rainbow bridge.

      Of the original six in the litter, I finalized on the three brothers after two sisters were adopted out and a third sister was killed in the road at a very young age.  I’ve not kept track of those two sisters, so they might still be alive, but also possible they have the kidney disease too.

      It’s the little things that one starts to really miss.  Going into the bedroom, still expecting him to be on the bed or in the laundry.  Or, wanting to go to the back door to see if he’s on the deck waiting to be let inside (I never installed a cat door).  Or, even him knocking my chair’s lever so it’s locked back into it upright position.

  3. Might also depend on how specific you make the details. With the way I describe, even if you came across the inspirational photographs I use, in the wild, doubt you’d recognize them. If you’re getting too close, find another person’s videos—plenty of “squat” type of videos out there from others, or whatever exercise machine you’re wanting. I mean, worst case, if you have access to a gym is to do the exercise yourself with a selfie-camera… though if I tried that, think we’d lose an author here instead.
  4. Ack! Run hide, it’s coming!
  5. Nah, helps keep the forum lively. Much better than the spammers united. It’s totally alright to draw inspiration from real life photos & videos as a whole. If said actor is freely posting those videos themselves, public settings (ie, it’s not taken from by a jealous ex-lover or overly excited paparazzi photographer), I’d feel those are okay to reference. I’d avoid going hyper detailed, but a general “doing squats” and then “doing pullups” for the routines? A water bottle? There’s so many of those videos out there, trouble nailing it down to any specific one. For some of my originals, I’ve found… ”nature photos” of models online, used those as a loose reference from time to time, which helps with adding some fleshed out details to my characters.
  6. Just interrupted a Ron/Hermione love scene with the ticket inspector wanting their train tickets. Oh, and... 42472
  7. Seems you lucked out on that 69 @Melrick 42470
  8. And YES I’ve met the 50k goal for the month!  :twirl:

  9. That unplanned moment I’m having to name a boa constrictor “Cuddles” in my fanfic…
