Oh, but a therapist can write an emotional support animal letter so you don’t have to pay kitty rent!

She can! She needs a lot of calories so she spend extra time hunting bugs at night.

Come here and give me a hug!

and if you wonder why it’s called a “tailed tailless bat:”

The common name of the bat is typically given as the “tailed tailless bat”. This is because the species belongs to the genus Anoura, commonly called the “tailless bats”, yet it possesses a tail. However, the name is arguably somewhat misleading, since only three of the other seven species of “tailless bats” genuinely lack a tail.

If we are thinking of the same guy, he had a green card but forgot to file some obscure form at some point. And was detained at his naturalization hearing, aka when trying to become a citizen.

While I agree that doing all of the above is good for you, it will not take away perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

I did the opposite and stopped drinking a year ago because it was only hurting my health. But I see your logic.

For me, it’s perimenopause, but good to know.

Same, same. Checking email is my least favorite thing to do.

The reason for this behavior is actually much more interesting than you might think!

Raccoons have the most sensitive sense of touch of any animal known other than primates. Over two thirds of the sensory processing power of a raccoon’s brain are dedicated to its sense of touch, while the critter’s tiny hands are packed with over ten times the number of nerve endings as a human hand.

These very sensitive hands develop a thin protective barrier over time- sort of like a callous— but the layer is softened by water.

When a raccoon dips its hands into water, it can feel with perfect acuity. A raccoon will explore its food, memorizing and savoring its texture to learn about it and to be better able to identify and search for it in the future.

I wish I did! It’s not legal in my state otherwise I’d find a way by now.

For your niece:

I shamelessly stole this pic, so I’m not sure. Would be great if someone can reverse engineer it.

100% agree!
