Case in point. My youngest was part of part of the four-kid Team Montana last year for MathCounts.

does this mean I’m a hipster? I’m eating stew before it’s cool?
Wide bowl of ground beef & cabbage stew, perched on my knees as I sit on a stool in my kitchen.

step 1: label the label maker. Step 2. ????
The underside of a small wireless blue label maker, with a round white sticker on it. It says “Frank” and has an icon of a derpy cat.

Hog farming also made an appearance, so this map became our pre-talk slide.
An old map from World Geography 1948 showing hog population in the US. “Each dot represents 5000 hogs.” The problem is that the US is displayed as a white object against a solid black background and black state outlines. The comments include “Untapped infinite hog supply in the ocean,” “Each state is lined with an impenetrable wall of swine. We are trapped.” And “We’ve lost Canada and Mexico to the hogs already”

I can print ~60 of these at a time. They‘re about 85-90db. Would that be helpful to send to y’all?

Snuggle bugs.
Seal point kitten and orange & white kitten laying together on top of a cat tree. The photo is taken looking directly down at them. The seal point is looking back over his shoulder at the person who is rubbing his belly, and the orange kitten is looking straight up at the camera with wide eyes.

This is Xan. She’s 19, and the belly is 100% a trap. but she appreciates that we turned the heater back on.
Old lady brown and white tabby cat laying in a round fleece basket pushed up against the heater vent in the baseboard. She has one front paw delicately stretched out to rest directly on the vent.

So perfect. Hopefully y’all don't mind being bombarded with kitten pics :)
Close up of an orange and white fluffy kitten on my la, curled up playing with the pocket on my black sweatshirt. He has excellent ear tufts

Also handsome, but definitely captures his super chill lap kitten personality.
Orange and white fluffy kitten sitting calmly on my leg, resting his head on my knee and looking at the camera with a relaxed expression.

Such a handsome little man!
Seal point kitten, very fluffy, sitting up balancing on my knee. He’s looking to the side of the camera, definitely intent on attacking something very soon.

Another kitten belly! Just for y’all! Extra soft and snuggly!
An orange and white kitten is laying upside down along my legs. His paws are splayed wide, and my hand is suspended just over his belly, partly blocking his face.

This belly is Not A Trap. Just get all up in there and snorgle the belly to your heart’s content.
Seal point kitten half rolled over to expose his belly as I scratch his armpit.

Kitten beans!

I may have created a monster. Ms. Xan says her wet food must now have this gravy to be acceptable. I drizzle about a teaspoon on each of her many small meals.
A packet of Friskies “lil gravies” salmon flavor. It’s just a flavored thick liquid for treats or food topping.
