An open thread for personal stuff, continuing from here.

As usual for these threads: no trolls, no MRAs, no I’m-not-really-an-MRA-buts, don’t be mean.

That really is a very catlike pose, and huskies aren’t a particularly catlike dog (that would be Shibas). I hope her people shop at IKEA, those boxes might work.

She likes sprawling on her back with her feet in the air, too – not that dogs don’t do that, but it does have a kittyish scritch-mah-belleh look about it. 😀

Oh dear. What’s basically a tiny helicopter with exposed blades in a crowded restaurant, what could possibly go wrong?

I seriously wish they’d outlaw drones here. Safety issues, breaches of privacy … horrible things.

Cats and boxes: even Egyptian gods have this problem.

In other news, the mod queue has new comments from TWO banned* trolls who have decided to come and test their boundaries after weeks of not trying. It’s such abuser behavior and it’s grossing me out.

*Was GNL finally banned? I need a cheat sheet, I swear.

That’s the thing about peeps who won’t take no for an answer. They really really will not take no for an answer.

I’m FUMING mad right now. I gave my landlord a check dated for the 15th for part of my rent and they cashed it on Friday. Now I’m overdrawn almost $175. To make matters worse, the customer service people would not even waive the overdraft fee. What the fuck? I had always heard it was illegal to cash a post dated check. I mean, they’re postdated for a fucking reason! My unemployment is still pending because my former employer’s payroll department has apparently not registered that I’m no longer employed so I’ve got nothing coming in.

Hopefully my dad or maybe grandmother or brother can help. I called my dad but nobody answered and he goes to bed early. Or he might be out because it’s his birthday. Happy birthday, your loser daughter needs over $200 so she can cover her overdraft and eat!

I’m just so pissed. It’s so unethical for banks and landlords to do this. I hate this fucking country. The laws are crafted so they can just screw you over. Fuckers.

I don’t even remember Allman, guess he must have been super interesting.

There were two Allmans. The really creepy one who was talking about his custody case and how great patriarchy was. The other one was pretty harmless but he was a dolt who tried to mansplain history to us. He claimed that Boudica was German.

I hope your dad can help, WWTH. Some peeps just cannot be trusted at all and unfortunately banks and landlords are high on that list.

Also, in lieu of the usual kitties, here is a really cute skunk.

OMG! Allman is the guy who thought that “if he pokes it he owns it”. Very creepy d00d.

The paternity case one was just trying to get a comment through before.

Speaking of creepy, I really hope this is fake. If not, EW.

Oh, that guy, now I remember. No, we do not need to hear from either of those two again.

All I had to do was read the title and I made a face like that cute little skunk just sprayed me right in the nose.

The creepiest quote

Any RACE is fine under 25 preferred. Any older than that and you’ll come with an attitude and blame me for your situation…..!!

There’s so much wrong in just two little sentences.

Actually I found the walks in the park and hot cocoa bit the creepiest. Not only do you have to exchange sex for shelter, this dude honestly thinks that this will make you want to go on Generic Romantic Winter Date #4 with him.

The scary thing is, I can see some Hollywood producer deciding it would be a good idea to make a rom com with this premise. What a meet cute!

It could be the sequel to Sweet November.

(I love Keanu Reeves, but that thing was terrible.)

That’s the same line of thinking as this post David had up in 2011. Be warned, Meller was sliming all over the comments.

WWTH, what an awful situation, I’m so sorry.

Allman? The Boodica guy? I wouldn’t mind batting that one around some more.
