As a Minnesotan in an inner ring suburb, I much prefer my Somali neighbors to the ignorant MAGA types, of which we still have too many.

The Kugelprinzessin licks plastic. And also me, sometimes skin, sometimes my shirt, which leaves me with a huge wet spot on my shirt. I have to remind myself that if she were a dog there would be more slobber.

There's a snek holding a solar lantern that is my kind of odd. Neither #1 nor #2 like it. I say it's my garden and I'll decorate it how I want.
I will be nice and not put the snek out in the open, though. #1 REALLY doesn't like snekken, and he pays the mortgage.

I am apparently really good at remaining calm when dealing with panicky clients and giving off "extreme competence" vibes such that they feel everything will be ok.
I am almost always calm because my give-a-fuck threshold is stupidly high.

I just used Crayola watercolor markers... It was terrible art but it was useful for placement.

I would say that this one is more disturbing and less horrifying, not really scary per se. I generally don't do horror either, fwiw, and I thought it was fantastic.

I think there might be one that is allowed but I don't remember. I've started using book titles for my passphrases so I have a wealth of options, at least, and they're reasonably easy to remember.

When we replaced one of the basement outlets, we found that instead of an actual proper ground there was just a nail... The rest of the outlets on that side are probably just as bad. <sigh>

I agree. That's a personal musical choice and it totally shouldn't count. Also it's rude to inflict your music on someone else.

Bleh.
Bleh.

We moved from central NY to the Minneapolis suburbs and it was a relief to finally have a neighborhood that wasn't 100% European.
