Someone on Lemmy theorized that I simply have a shit immune system. ~~Witch~~ Which may be accurate.

Do people not actually notice how oily their dogs are???

I don't get itchy from mosquito bites. 🤔

What kind of machines ya' got? I got my first industrial Juki a couple years ago, and I absolutely love it! Makes me wonder what else I've been missing out on.

Knee lifts?? Life-changing.

I often say that if I ever get into another serious relationship, I want separate rooms.

Man.... I just need my space sometimes.

....And also space to sleep with my stuffed animals.

Can cost anywhere from like 80$ to 250$ or so, typically. A full coord can cost you much much more, especially if it's from one of the big brands.

You can get stuff less expensive from reputable sellers or smaller brands, though.

EDIT: Bodyline & Anna House Fashion are great budget options! Good quality, too.

Niche fashion style brand / release archive. Short for "lolita fashion." Nothing to do with the Nabokov novel or the "other" thing. Just frilly shit I enjoy.

Isn't it?? It's from the brand "Emily Temple Cute"! Unfortunately, the cut doesn't flatter me, as my torso is longer. 🥲

Omfggggg I'll never forget....

Fellow dog-disliker here. I am constantly being told "no, you just don't like bad dog owners!"* Like..... no. I don't like dogs. I don't think that dogs are bad creatures, but I don't like them.

Petting a dog makes my hands feel disgusting, cleaning up after them is disgusting, the sounds they make (oh god, the mouth sounds), the licking, loud panting, the constant need for attention, their constant need to eat, holy shit, the barking, whining.. I don't like dogs.

Dogs are fine. I just don't want to own one or have to live with them.

"Porco Rosso" is a about an ex-military seaplane pilot who battles air pirates. He also, incidentally, has been turned into a pig. It's both fantastically funny and very occasionally heart-breaking.

It also has one of the best lines in cinema: "I'd rather be a pig than a fascist."

 

And only sometimes.

Before people start asking in the comments, the website is a niche fashion archive.

 

Every time I go outside to my yard, my elderly neighbor comes out and tries to talk with me. Every. Single. Time. Without fail. I go out to relax and do gardening and yard work, and his presence makes me increasingly anxious & leaves me feeling particularly uncomfortable/unsafe.

He is dealing with dementia, and has become increasingly vulgar and outspoken, and even made some vastly inappropriate remarks about his wife & my other neighbor while my child was right there.

His wife is tired. I know this. Christ, I would be, too. He was kind of insufferable even before the dementia got bad (think him talking about his shitty political views), but, god.. I am so tired of babysitting him while I try to unwind in my own yard. He'll talk over the fence or simply waltz past it and follow me around while I try to do stuff or as I'm trying to talk to my kid.

One thing I know is this: do not piss off your neighbors, because, chances are, you will probably be living next to them for a looooong time.

What can I do? I just want peace without feeling like I'm being accosted.

 

Always wondered what happened to them. So happy they're safe & sound!

Let me recommend: Bill's Hot Dog Stand in Ypsilanti.

It's a drive-in. Open your window and eat in the parking lot. Get their dogs with everything on it + a mug of root beer. If you don't eat dogs, at least get the root beer!!! I don't even like root beer that much, but I now dream about the root beer from Bill's.

Absolute reasonable prices, too: got 4 dogs & 2 mugs of root beer for around 10$ total!

What's your recommendation for unexpectedly good food in Michigan?

 

The noise scared my lizard something frightful!

Everyone was okay and no one was badly injured. Except for a patch of my lilies. But they're pretty resilient.

Taken between June 5th - June 10th, 2024, Michigan.

Not a professional photo in any sense. Apologies for that. But I saw this grumpy-looking little guy/gal in a bush and took a photo from a distance away. Wanted to share it, even if it's not as good as any of the other photos posted here.

One of the babies I've been observing since the nest was built above my deck. It was fascinating to see them grow up & finally leave the nest! All 4 are finally gone.

I wish them the best in their growth and hope they are able thrive safely.

 

My cat passed away around 2 years ago now. I miss him a lot, but just haven't been financially stable enough to adopt another.

Could you post nice stories and funny things about your cat(s) and talk about how much you love them? Thank you!

 

How much time have you spent being single?

If you're currently single: is it by choice or circumstance?

Do you / did you enjoy single life?

What are / were the pros and cons?

Is / was partnership a goal of yours?

If you're currently not single: Did your goals change after getting into a relationship?

What are the pros and cons?

Refrigerator is a Frigidaire LTFR1832TF0.

Leak came from the front-right side.

I did not notice any temperature fluctuations, but I also don't notice much of anything. It still seemed cold when I unplugged it, though!

Checked the drain pan & it seems dry? Not overflowing or anything.

No water on inside of refrigerator.

Anyone have any idea what might be going on? I'd really appreciate it, as no one can take a look for another 3 days.

I don't want my food to spoil, as I don't have a lot of money. I just want to know if it'd be safe to plug it back in!

Thank you.

EDIT: had my BIL stop by to take a look. More than likely it's refrigerant. The compressor was fine, but one of the lines on it would not get cold, so that's that. Probably a leak in the line, more than likely from a failed seal.

The cost to refill the refrigerant / repair the line / seal would cost waaaaay more than a new fridge, unfortunately.

Thanks, y'all. Appreciate the help and advice.
