The utter excitement that shot through my body when this plate of piping hot pai gu fan was placed in front of me. Many things are bad but Taiwanese food is certainly not one of them.

The freebies I got at the NY ATEEZ concert. Yes, I accepted the lime just so I could say I got a lime at the ATEEZ concert. And I could always use limes…

When we ask “could the cat possibly be more in the way?” it was not a challenge.
She took it as such. And won.

My childhood home came with a Meyer lemon tree in the front yard. Before she died, my grandma took a graft of our tree for herself. My aunt inherited her grafted tree and propagated it for me — a literal piece of home for my new home.
*Now, how do I keep it alive*

Turns out Orange Boy is actually neutered (in my defense, he looks like he’s still got 🍒).
So he’s neutered/chipped which isn’t registered anywhere. He’s been running through our yard at night for months and begged to be let indoors. Do we think he’s owned by someone?

Microchip is definitely not registered to anyone or any company and seems to have come from a sketchy provider. I now feel comfortable treating him like a stray and finding him a good indoor home.
You chose the right pair of suckers, kiddo, because you’re on the fast track to a good life!

I haven't even thought of the term 'metrosexual' in literal decades. This person is either time-traveling or confusing Gen X/Boomers around them with millennials.
![screenshot of a post reading "millennials talking about they didn't invent [the term 'metrosexual']...but y'all are the only ones who i hear using it so what's da truth" (the truth is that: millennials aren't using it and haven't used it for years.)](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gbr76gnfs4eeeoxtngtdqdjq/bafkreierljo3gjyuvlvwjbn2uwvxpqqzseppwbi6pqjwp5yhhrz2ukmpke@jpeg)

Jubilee has become fascinated with the outside in recent months. While we save to build a deck and catio, we’re leash training her. She’s very begrudgingly maybe beginning to think about sorta kinda accepting it as a condition of Open Door/Outside Time.
