celticeagle @celticeagle (189792) • Boise, Idaho 9 Apr 23

I am a stubborn, ole stick in the mud regarding change. I don't enjoy changes. It adds to my anxiety and anything that I don't want or need to be added to my life. I'm not sure how I feel about this new change that may be coming...

For all you cat lovers out there

James Higgins @JamesHxstatic (29410) • Eugene, Oregon 25 Jul 18

In our woo-woo state of Oregon, perhaps the woo-woo capital is the southern Oregon city of Ashland. There, a woman found a cougar asleep in her living room. The cat woke up, so she used "feline-speak eye blinking" and telepathy to...
