Cats Are Not Stuck Up, No Really!!! Most people assume that cats aren't affectionate, loving, etc while dogs tend to be. Granted dogs typically love everyone and cats seem not to like anyone but the reality is cats can be affectionate and bond closely with their chosen humans. The younger the cat is when it starts having positive interactions with humans the better. we've had cats since before I was born so I've interacted with dozens of cats during my lifetime. Yes, I am the crazy cat magnet lady! I currently have five cats. My eldest cat is the mother of the others and one of my mom's op Ted, she's four, and they are three. My mama cat is affectionate but standoffish. I found her as a few months old size of the Palm of my hand-abandoned kitten. I had gone to the post office after I got off work one night before going home and had a tiny kitten come running down the stairs at me desperately meowing. She is largely an outside cat, her preference, but comes i

The Power of Discipline: Shaping Stronger Futures for Our Children In recent years, there's been a troubling trend among parents to prioritize friendship over discipline when it comes to raising their children. But let's face it, being a parent means much more than just being a buddy. It means instilling values, setting boundaries, and teaching accountability from day one. Discipline isn't about punishment; it's about teaching children that actions have consequences. By setting clear expectations and enforcing rules, parents lay the foundation for responsible behavior and respect for authority. Saying "no," administering consequences like extra chores or earlier bedtimes, and implementing timeouts are all vital tools in shaping well-rounded individuals. Unfortunately, when discipline is lacking, the consequences can be dire. Children who grow up without boundaries often struggle to respect authority, follow rules, and empathize with others. This lack of disci

On Dating I was asked by an oversensitive male or three and a few apparently morally lacking females have never done something embarrassing. Sure I have but never something so stupid or disgusting as going to bed with some dude I don't know on the first date or picking up human feces. I have better judgment than this idiot obviously because (1) I wouldn't ever date offline (2) I'm not trash that goes picking up shit (3) I'm no slut so I wouldn't be going to some dude's house on the first date. Common sense says you don't do any of those and a lot of other stuff so you avoid being a laughing stock or called a whore. Sorry, this female who acted a whore and went to this dude's house on the first date and then played with her shit IS inferior to me and hopefully almost every other person on the planet. You made a crack about me being single. Nice try at shaming me for being happy! Didn't work!! Why would I want to get married? I don't need a ma

Embracing Independence: Why I've Decided to Stop Dating In a world where dating apps and blind dates dominate the scene, I've made a bold decision: I've stopped dating altogether. And let me tell you, it's been the most liberating choice I've ever made. Gone are the days of stressing over what to wear, where to meet, and whether or not there will be a spark. Instead, I've embraced my independence and reclaimed control over my life. One of the key reasons behind my decision? Safety. Call me cautious, but I refuse to let anyone into my personal space. That means no inviting dates to my home or sharing my address. I've always been a "meet you there" kind of person, and I intend to keep it that way. Maintaining boundaries is crucial in today's world, especially when it comes to dating. By keeping my home and workplace off-limits to romantic interests, I ensure that my safety and security remain uncompromised. Let's talk about transportation. S

Cultivating the Garden of Love: A Reflection In the garden of the heart, love is the tender seedling that yearns for nurturing care to blossom into its full splendor. Much like a delicate flower, love requires constant attention and tending to thrive amidst life's ever-changing seasons. It's a notion that resonates deeply with me: the belief that true love, the kind that transcends fleeting infatuation and surface-level affection, possesses a resilience that withstands the test of time. For true love is not merely a passing fancy or a fleeting attraction—it is an enduring bond that weathers the storms of life and emerges stronger for it. In our fast-paced world, it's all too easy to mistake the spark of lust or the allure of fondness for the enduring flame of genuine love. Yet, true love is not defined by fleeting passions or fleeting pleasures; it is rooted in a deep and abiding connection that transcends the superficialities of attraction. Like any living thing, love requ

A Leopard Can't Change His Stripes! If someone disrespect you once they'll do it again. The only way you can stop this is if you remove them from your life. Trust me on this. It's a hard learned less for me. See I don't like “giving up” or “throng in the towel” on a person or on anything actually. The last man I dated, that I loved, never loved or respected me though he faked it for five years. He had showed me he didn't in small ways over the few years leading up to him asking me to be his girlfriend. I'm sure I just discounted the signs because I loved him and because he's a dude and we were just friends at the time. While we were together he showed his disdain, lack of love, and disrespect in increasingly obvious ways that even his acquaintances, friends, and family who barely knew me or only knew of me called him out on. A man who respects you won't cheat on you. A man who respects you won't' lie to you. A man who respects you won&

Mixed Up Priorities It seems to me that people today have their priorities all kinds of mixed up. I read one female's post today where she said she would move from her current state to the state she is likes more BUT her BOYFRIEND doesn't like it. Boyfriend?? You are letting your favorite dick, who is not your (legal) HUSBAND, dictate your life? To me that's unthinkable. I've been married to a guy like that and am now very happily divorced for nineteen years. And I've been a dumb bitch like said female much later for someone I loved. Dumb because he wouldn't have stepped over a puddle for me much less go out of his way for me like I had done many times. So please gals, and any dudes that behave just as stupidly, DO NOT be acting wifey (or husbany) to a lover if you aren't legally married to said person. Do not shack up. Do not squirt out kids for him. Do not let him or her dictate where you live, where you work, where your kids stay, if you can
