Old man cat is a 12 year old spayed male who has been with my partner since kittenhood. New cat is a 3? year old stray that made us a part of her routine and is now full time indoors with us.

New cat is very sweet but predictably on edge. She has her own room and likes hanging out with me and my partner but she doesn’t like exploring the rest of the house even when old man is secured.

We’ve had her for two months and have made intermittent progress with feeding. They were eating about a foot away from each other with a gate and now I’m trying to keep it that way but move the gate so new cat will go into the living room.

My big issue - I haven’t been able to cat swap them consistently b

Hello. I wanted to see if people here could help me figure something out. I’m looking into getting a recumbent bike or trike. I have an arm/ wrist condition (Madelung’s Syndrome, for the curious) which makes it extremely difficult for me to ride conventional bikes. I can’t bear down on my wrists for more than a few minutes because of this, and my arms are also extremely short and my hands are at a different angle than other peoples. So, a typical bicycle is out of the question.

I’m looking at recumbent bikes and trikes, and one think I keep seeing which concerns me is the handle bars on many seem to be a decent reach from the bike, at least for me. Could anybody recommend any bikes or trik

(Warning, long rant below with request at the end. Posting because I am angry but maybe I can save some other homeowner some heartache by lamenting both the management of our utilities and my own errors.)

Saturday, October 30th: It's windy outside. Evidently a floodlight on our soffit decides it's a great time to break. The fall of the floodlight completely severs our cable cord, and makes our pipe coming from the top of our electric hazardously lean to the side. I make an appointment with Cox to come out this wednesday- ok fine. I call entergy and report that this looks dangerous- would they come check it out? and go groceryshopping. On my way back from getting groceries, my partner texts

I've been really enjoying the first few books. I already know how it all ends, and I know that at some point the book series just goes off the rails completely. Does anybody have any strong feelings about when the books just careened?

I'm sure there are a lot of people in my shoes, with Hebrew hovering at somewhere in the Level Bet/end of Duolingo/end of A2 range. I was delighted to realize today when looking for stuff to watch on my lunch break that the Hebrew language translation of the Moomins is an amazing resource for this awkward level. While I was watching it I was able to either understand all of it or know that I'd learned all of the vocabulary but needed to practice my listening and immediate recall. It's also just a cute series with a cool history.

I figured others could also find this useful for practicing listening

I'm asking this after a watching Veronica (2017) and just... not being scared at all. It got me thinking of a few different personal observations I've had over the years:

• My friends and family that grew up evangelical or catholic seem to find possession scarier as a whole and usually correlate that with how they grew up
• Playing with Ouija boards in high school and having grown ass adults be terrified but also wanting me to ask the board stuff from them (again, all from evangelical or catholic backgrounds)
• Horror movies that display a failure of the social contract- or even horror adjacent disaster movies- scare me way more than religious imagery. I don't directly tie this to being Jew

Ok so, I've lived here for 6 1/2 years but I've never been into live music (Yes, I'm aware this is ridiculous). My parents are coming into town next weekend, the 30th-3rd , and the original plan was they'd help with some house repair stuff and we'd interchange that with going to FQF. That seemed like a really easy choice because they could just steer around the quarter finding stages they liked and I wouldn't have to make a decision about something I know nothing about.

Well, FQF is cancelled and we're back from the hurricane and I'm trying to figure out what on earth to do with them next weekend. They've been here plenty of times so no need to run through the Tourist Stuff. But, I'd love

I know we will be coming back to a refrigerator full of horror. I tried to research at what point food rot makes the fridge itself bad and wasn’t able to come up with much.

I posted this to r/Houston a few years ago and unfortunately I think it’s time for a repost. If you have internet access right now and are doomscrolling- especially but not only if you have small children- this episode of Sesame Street goes over when big birds nest gets destroyed by a hurricane and the Big Bird Hurricane Episode community helping him rebuild. May be comforting to the kids and adults alike.
