Usually when the electrician goes 'hey.... there's something you should see' it's because someone set up shoddy wiring. This time it was because he pulled two snakes out of my wall

I had to double check OP’s name, this sounded exactly like something @thebibliosphere would encounter in the Cthulhu house

Love it (hate it) when something I’ve been avoiding doing for 2 months takes less than 5 minutes to complete.

Girl, help. My executives. They’re malfunctioning.

there are places in the world today that are experiencing 40°C for the first time in recorded history. of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but i feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try

Right down to all of your faculties being decrepit from relying on a sinister adviser.

how it feels to message a friend who's having Problems that you can't do anything to help with.

Dragon 2: "Yes and they're adding more fire and rusty nails." 1: "Oh dear, I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope they stop soon." 2: "Me too." Both dragons look distraught. End ID]

I feel like to really get this circulating as it should, we need it superimposed over the picture of the turkey going in the fridge. (I can't do it I'm on my phone.)

With the 250th anniversary it's likely to be especially bad this year!

I picked up Foreigner by CJ Cherryh from my library thanks to you. It’s great! But… I just realized HOW MANY books there are in the series. What have you gotten me into??

Oh yeah that's a long one. And it's still ongoing.

22 books and it’s not done yet??

so today a public health official guy came into my class to give a lecture on disaster awareness and he was talking about house fires and mentioned that the reason people most likely die during a house fire is because they refuse to leave their pet inside or they go back to get their pet. and right when he said this my friend immediately turned his head and looked at me and in that moment I had the most complete and genuine acceptance take over my body. I would 100% in front of my family and Jesus himself walk straight back into some raging inferno that was once my house to go get my fat cat. I nodded back

the best part of this post is reading all the tags from animal people who would also go back to save their pets. like no hesitation. walk backwards from heaven straight back into hell. someone even said they would go back for their fish. amazing

If you are a person who would walk into a blazing inferno for your animal, and your pet has free movement around the house, here’s a training exercise that could help save you both:

1) Set off your smoke alarm or play the sound on your phone (if your home has no smoke alarms, pease get some!)

2) stand BY THE FRONT DOOR to hand out treats

Do this a couple times and then keep it up NO EXCEPTIONS. Accidentally set the alarm off cooking? Treats by the door. Smoke alarm sound on TV? Treats by the door. Changing your smoke alarm batteries twice a year like you’re supposed to? Give them a test run and your pets get treats by the door.

Most dogs and cats will clue in VERY quickly that hearing that specific sound means go to the front door and wait for treats.

If there’s an emergency and even if you leave by another way, you will still know the most likely place your pet(s) is and can direct first responders to help.

You can also do this for any other kind of emergency alarm. My friend had both her cats trained to go to the front door for a tsunami siren.

This post made me realize that I had accidentally been training my small children to ignore the fire alarm, since we not-infrequently set it off while cooking. Needless to say, they were very excited about the concept of fire alarm treats and now run to the nearest door immediately!

#they also decided that if it goes off multiple times in a row #because that happens when we don’t get the kitchen aired out quickly enough #then they get multiple treats #even if they were still at the door when it went off again #that’s deals
