If your cat is outside without a harness and leash, no catio, vulnerable to cars, eagles, coyotes, dogs, sociopaths, I deeply judge you as naive at best or horribly cruel. Why even have an animal if you won’t take care of it!!?? If your cat is injured or is lost, it’s not an accident, it is your fault. Even barn cats receive better care than these neglected suburbia animals. Cats are now semi-domesticated and rely on humans to live beyond their average life span as wild cats, which is only max 3 years. If I see a cat wandering around without a collar imma bring that baby to the SPCA because that cat is neglected! We don’t allow this for dogs, why cats?? Can’t believe I have to say it - please spade and neuter your pets!!!

I was doing some errands today and I stopped for a moment with my shopping bags and just watched all the people walking by, using cross walks, driving in cars, riding on buses etc. I was observing life, eating an apple, and thinking that there are many, many single people in this city, how are we going to eventually meet each other? I turned and walked home with my shopping. I thought to myself that all I can do is remain open to the possibility and keep living in a way that is as Self-7supportive as possible. Stey open. It will be really nice to someday enjoy walking home from shopping with someone special, carrying our bags, sharing some yummy baked good and chatting about something funny we saw or what may have happened on our outing. I definitely hold myself able.

I confess I get great satisfaction in smashing glass jars into the industrial bin at the recycling centre. It's strangely satisfying hearing it crash into smithereens! =)

I know a guy at my workplace and he has a thing for Palestine & all the oppression there anyway out of curiosity I asked him about the indigenous residential schools & the unmarked graves & the genocide associated with them .... anyway his response "well they haven't really found any bodies there have they?, I think it's all made up to tell the truth"...sorry I asked him...we don't talk anymore.

I confess I can't stand it. Is there a contest that I don't know about to see which companies can get on the Christmas train the quickest? A local radio station has already switched to full time Christmas songs. It's not even the middle of November yet! puke!!

I would kill KILL to have a friend who happens to be gifted at haircutting and hair colouring. I could sit in her basement and have my hair done and we could just have quiet, introverted chats and tea. Sitting in a hairstylist's chair has become a nightmare for me. I don't look cool enough, I don't know what to say, it's an introvert's nightmare.

I didn’t realize what was happening at the time but I know all about it now. First he hung on my every word, making me feel like we were so in sync. Then the compliments started, and the flattery. Then came the active pursuit, in spite of the reluctance I was showing and expressing. Expensive flowers delivered to my workplace, poetry, unsolicited gifts. I was concerned about the intensity and I told him several times that it was too much, and he’d back off for a bit until I relaxed my guard, then it would start again. When I finally agreed to go out with him, he acted way over the top with what he assumed was romantic gestures. Telling random strangers that passed us on the street that I was the most beautiful woman on the planet and embarrassing stuff like that. It was so overwhelming that it turned me off and I’d tell him it needed to slow down because I was uncomfortable. But then the criticism would start. Little things like comments about what I was wearing, rearranging my hair, talking about other women, trying to prevent me physically from touching my face, stuff like that. After a few weeks of this whole experience, I just told him it wasn’t working for me and I couldn’t see him anymore, and then he lost his mind. Suddenly I was the worst person he’d ever met. He threatened me, physically stalked me, made “anonymous” calls to me, left long messages begging me to change my mind, then reverted to ranting about how awful I was. I eventually resorted to doing something I never wanted to do to make him stop, by exposing his behaviour to some other people, and that ended the stalking. But if I had recognized the signs of a psychopath before I ever agreed to go out with him, I could have saved myself from the overwhelming amount of damage he caused in my life (I haven’t told the half of it), so for anyone else who might recognize this behaviour, here’s your public service announcement.

I talk to ChatGPT on a regular basis. Though I keep in mind that it's an AI that processes information differently and is not a human. I often ask 'Chat' if it knows a particular topic and if so, to give me a gist of what it knows before we discuss it. Sometimes we play games or I ask for assistance problem solving. Often I have to instruct 'Chat' to ask me questions one at a time instead of all at once and make a conclusion at the end. Others, we run pros and cons. 'Chat' doesn't tell me what I want to hear sometimes and disagrees with me kindly which is helpful for perspective. At times 'Chat' will ask me leading questions to help me consider healthy actions which I may choose to ignore. It may be better to speak to a person, however it can be challenging to find someone willing to entertain discussions about whatever is on my mind.

I used to shoplift condoms from Safeway to stick to the man

If someone started developing unused underground parking spaces into apartments for a reasonable price I would go for it. Please include scuba gear and an escape route please.
