I had a cat a while back, and when I travelled for a few weeks, my sister, who lives in the same building would make sure she’s fed and the litter cleaned etc and spend a bit of time with her. However, my sister told me that Pickett (cat) seemed depressed, and true enough when I got back she gave me attitude for a few weeks, and so I adopted Snowy for her. He basically taught her how to play again, since she’d been seemingly wanting to grow into old age and just sit on my lap and doze happily for hours.

But, I also had another cat in Dubai decades earlier, and she was quite happy being alone. In fact, she didn’t like anyone but me (she was a rescue).

I just finished “The Good Spy: The Life and Death of Robert Ames”. Ames worked for the CIA during the hayday of the Middle East issues (60’s onwards) and was a direct back channel to Yassir Arafat. I picked it up on the recommendation of my ex wife, and for anyone interested in ME politics of that era it’s an absolutely brilliant read. I’m now taking a gap with some much loved Terry Pratchett’s Discworld (Guards Guards to be precise).

Unfortunately you might be spot on.

11. I know this one may sound absurd, but how about something insane, like real equality, and another completely insane one, real accountability for politicians, corporations et al.

Thank you brother 🙏

Honestly I understand what you mean, for me it was the opposite, my family and close friends had been telling me about my abuse for decades. So when I finally admitted I owned the word Alcoholic. I’m a happily recovering one. Good on you for managing!

Fuck the zionist genocidal bastards.

Alcohol isn’t everyone’s friend, I was an alcoholic at 18, and refused to acknowlege that fact and kept denying it in the face of all the evidence. When I finally asked for help and quit drinking at 45, I realised how much of a mess I’d made of my life. Thankfully I’ve been sober since (going on 7 years now). Addiction is not a joke people.

Surley you can’t be serious! ;).

I clicked on the app link on the main page, and it gives a list of apps, some which collext.

Cheers, yeah I edited the title to say that basically, I’ll test them out and see which i prefer.

Thanks

Thanks!

As I’ve just read,Thunder is still being tweaked, I’m also on android, and ideally prefer an app that doesn’t collect data. I guess it’ll be trial and error for a while. Thanks.

Thanks, I’ve been looking at them, the only reason I decided against Boost is because it collects data. If I find Thunder to be not so user friendly I’llprobably switch.

Thank you, much appreciated.

It’s insane that I’m 99% sure this is sarcasm, but that 1% has a voice telling me I can’t discount Maga being that stupid. This is the age we live in, incredible stupidity.
