    Animals in "foster care" who are given elaborate stories from the animals point of view. Or even not a story, but just "I can't wait to go to my forever home!" when the animal in question is already in a home, not a shelter or caged/penned type rescue situation. While having a rescue animal in a home situation instead of in a cage/pen at a shelter/rescue is much better for the animal in terms of socialization and house training, we as humans know it's a temporary situation. The animal doesn't. Animals don't have the concept of a "forever home", they don't know that the home they are in isn't permanent, but just a stop until they are finally adopted. But so many of these places keep saying things like "Rover is so sad, he's been in foster care for months and nobody is interested! Please share his page so he can finally find his happy furever home!" "Cookie is depressed because she has been in foster for months, she is waiting for her fur mommy!" etc. If the dog is sad and depressed in its current foster home, maybe it shouldn't be there, but that animal has no concept that it is on an adoption list and nobody is interested.

    Facebook - I deleted my facebook. Twitter, I deleted that twice. I was annoyed, you know? Annoyed with people when they are on the internet. 'You prick!' I wanted to say to all over their twitter, smeared with real shit. But 'do that,' I'd go to prison, I considered. I deleted my wordpress. You know I spent 10 years building those thirty friends but my Wordpress has a stupid name, I felt stupid every time I looked at myself, because wordpress is my soul. Now I have nothing for me but a blank screen and writer forum all because I am so annoyed for no reason. Terrible is my life in probably the second half of the second half, maybe extra time?

    Seriously? You deleted your Wordpress? But I loved reading that stuff. :(

    Ach - I'll bring it back, and call it something else, maybe MatWoolf17? Actually...come to think of it...I didn't get that 'important job' so maybe I will bring it back this afternoon. I really need something to do creative with my hands/and the brain in conjunction

    But y'know actually the website has so many months of comments from ####, so many comments are only from #### that she appears like my very secret girlfriend. I can't afford another very secret girlfriend, can I? I cannot even go saying 'I think you're great too #### AT WRITING,' because it will all be circumstantial evidence toward my demise, life in a bush.

    I need comments from men. I had that Canadian man for a while. Robust kind of men like me are probably best for my future, but they kind of all stay away in the military non-fiction erotica. Well, as you know, asides from yourself, there's only ever the single or sick individuals hanging on my site for a fortnight - usually. Nobody else has this problem. If I had three readers my life would be easy. But I would be conceited so this is a curate's ear kind of issue.

    Link your WordPress in your signature so we can access it. I'm a very robust man. Lots of hair, much testosterone. Were I naked at a zoo they'd call me an escaped chimpanzee.

    You sound very nice, @Moon. I will do that, even though, even though, you must be toying with my brain, even though I do it already. Don't press the link because I haven't fixed it as yet. All best, Man.

    You still could. I do miss our long nights stroking your ears playing with your Wordpress.

    Yeah, I was just going to say the link is there, but it doesn't lead anywhere. If the link went directly to your blog, I think you'd get a lot of people looking at it.

    I remember back (waaaayyy back) when you had a blog going on the forum. I used to read it every time you posted something, and most of it was absolutely hilarious. I remember the cowboy stuff, the playing pic a sticks in front of the fire thing, the thinly disguised 'forum' poem. Some of that stuff should be resurrected. IMO. I became your biggest fan, back then. Now maybe I should break your leg?

    I don't think six-year-olds (or even younger) should carry backpacks to school, or need to.

    If you write juicy military non-fiction erotica, you'll have lots of readers.

    All your ex-partners, their lawyers, your lawyer...

    One, two, many, lots...

    Could be. Public school, so I assumed a large bottle of hand sanitizer and a ream of left-wing propaganda.

    Watching my cats drink from the side of the water bowl. Sometimes I think homicidally- and I don't know why it bothers me. They could be drinking quietly- and I still get irrationally annoyed. Like why can't they just drink from the bowl? Why do they have to drink it by LICKING AT THE SIDE OF THE BOWL?!

    It's probably a sign that I stay at home and spend too much time with the cats- and not in a good way.

    That's why I face away from the water bowl- and listen to my MP3 player. So that I won't hear them. Or contemplate murder.

    My guess would be they are trying to limit their water intake.

    Knowing the correct spelling of something that is so commonly misspelled that people assume the correct spelling is the wrong one, and since language is a living thing, it may be past the tipping point where it is.

    Just deserts.

    Your coffee mug looks a bit strange. What's that box in it? And why yellow dildo on the top of the white box?

    And that coffee looks very mild.

    That roll of napkins is a good idea in the handle of that mug.

    A lot is two words not one. That is really annoying.

    It's got the ground clearance and load capacity of a car with the top heaviness and air flow issues of a pickup. What's not to love?
