I have a question!

What is your favorite comfort meal? When you close your eyes and think of "happy gatherings" with people (or not as you prefer) what is being served?

Today is a day of furry confusion and humans encroaching!

I was very rude today and I need to come clean. Early mornings are sometimes chaotic for me. I have aggressive morning routines, insomnia, and often disruptive schedules.

Today I was coming back home and raised the garage door per normal, but today was no normal day. It would appear the squirrel uprising started today and I was a priority target.

As the door raised a large fat squirrel dashed in front of my car. Being the guy I am, I stopped and began scolding the creature through my opened car window. Had I but known this was the forward sentry of attack I would have taken a more defensive position.

Since my vehicle stopped the squirrel moved onto phase 2, home infiltration, and ran full tilt straight into my garage. Squirrelly shoulders pumping with adrenaline and excitement to get this far, Fatboy (we are calling him Fatboy as he is chonky and adorable) bunched his haunches and full out threw himself at the door.

Y'all. This squirrel was probably 3lbs. The door wouldn't budge.

At this point, I remove myself from the vehicle to extract Fatboy without squishing him. With soothing voice, I laughing walk into the garage asking Fatboy what their next plans are.

Not to be deterred, Fatboy begins slinking through my bike wheel as I explained their situation, the fact that Zara exists and would love to play. Fatboy decides to take his chances with the freezer until he realizes that Alex knows how to conserve garage space.

Deciding that the mission is likely scrubbed as they failed to account for the weight of the door, Fatboy decides to grand theft auto and makes a dash for my opened car door.

TIL loudly screaming "oh wait!" and dashing at a vehicle will engage 3rd dimension squirrel physics. Fatboy stopped midair, changed directions and continued to scamper into the safety of the bushes as their partner decided that now was the best time to join the fray.

I believe Fatboy's partner is the thinker because he took off after them as they totally became completely invisible against the backdrop of "squirrel colored" red bricks. They aren't invisible but I pretend I can't see them. It makes them feel better, I think.

Okay, so I'm curious, if you'll indulge me Fediverse.

I am kind of a shut-in. I don't like large crowds and I don't hear well, so concerts are kind of missed on me.

What was your Favorite concert and what made it the best?

Please share your story?

After a moment of screaming inwardly at the visualization of "meat and bone grown in rice" this is a very promising article for sustainability.

Does anyone have any first hand accounts of people who dislike WFH and want to transition RTO?

I don't mean your CEO's and bosses... I mean the workers. Is that really a thing?

mentallyalex, 1 month ago to random

That is correct. Your righteous anger is misplaced and you are at fault, yes.

History will record you as complicit and cooperative to the groups you claim to demonstrate against and protest about. They will refer to you as a "useful idiot" and you will disagree and think it has value.

I am curious about something.

Regardless of your "generation" (Baby Boomer, GenX, GenZ, Millennial, etc.) do you play video games?

Which ones? I would love to know the names. Yes, even if you play 10 games constantly... I'm very curious.

Please?

So, I have to go to a paint store today.
I don't know what to wear, I'm not sure what protocol is...

I was told to tell them Erick sent me, he has an account apparently, and they would know what to do.

My default stance in these situations is to find someone who seems annoyed to be there and shadow them...let's hope that plays well!

I'll keep you informed.

Off topic, did you know there is a paint color called peacock?

Tonight, I did something naughty. Something I don't normally do but felt... adventurous. Dangerous. Tonight I felt the shadows of night begin to fall, and a smirk of mischief caught in the light.

I ordered pizza. I had them add pineapple and I have no regrets!

I am not in a band so I'm unsure what to do here.

How do you deal with pent up rage at unjust treatment?

Asking for most of society at this point.

Dear ActivityPub,

Today has been a contentious and aggressive day. I woke up feeling very positive but I swear there is a shadow on my silver lining. I'm trying to tell that feeling :blobCat_no_u: and looking for a few wonderful thoughts.

Tell me something good, would ya?

Yours,
Alex

I'm not sure if 'good vibes' are a thing, but the world is filled with so many different energies...who knows.

Regardless, I am working on something that will provide a tremendous amount of stability to me. I really don't know if it's appropriate, but...can I ask for some well wishes?

I was just told I brush my teeth in the wrong temperature water. According to this person, I am a, "psycho" who chooses the wrong water temp.

I'm so curious now...which water temperature do you brush your teeth in?

Please boost for visibility. Thank you for your help!

So what is everyone doing for lunch today? For me, it's... frosted mini-wheats. (I swear I eat real food, yesterday for dinner I had an omelet)

mentallyalex, 11 months ago to random

I have the weirdest craving tonight.

Do you ever crave like... mustard?
Is that bad? That's not a thing right? That's burned toast or almonds?

But seriously, I have talked myself out of making something to eat just to have it with mustard.

I read that originally as "Moss Boss" and had a very fun Al Capone image come to my mind.

Remnants of bushy mossy hair under a fadora hat. Walking confidently along the forest floor running scams on the rabbits and pressing the local rodent communities for their stores for winter.

"In case of accidents," He says, chuckling to himself.
