She goes quite a few times between checkups to get her nails trimmed -- cuz I suck at doing that -- and she always gets wonderful treats after the nails are done. Even on checkup days, there's only one thing she typically hates -- that darn 'check the temperature' thing -- but otherwise she gets lots of lovin and good treats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True story... My first Grand Champion boy kitty was a big love, which made him easy to show and that helped him get his Grand. He didn't care how he was getting picked up or touched by humans, it was all good. Lots of purrs. He was fine at the vets but wouldn't necessarily purr during an exam, but get that old temp check and my oh my, he was one happy (purrvy) kitty and would purr so loudly you could hear it in the waiting area. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatogateau Posted May 30, 2020 Share Posted May 30, 2020 Hmph. I actually came to this thread with an actual peeve. :::sniffs::: You're getting the kitty posting exclusively for a while because Seicher's Forum stuff is all messed up. Notifications, like having a quote or a response, aren't working and stopped working over a week ago. Email notifications are being sent to the wrong email with, more worrisome, the wrong avatar name. Like it is supposed to forward to my gmail and should say "Seicher Rae you have a new message from..." and instead it has "Other Avatar's Name, you have a new message from..." and it gets sent to the wrong email, which then forwards to the correct one. Oh fun. Support tickets! I need cupcakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes it's certain turns of phrase, or the position they're espousing, but it's more likely to be in the way the prose is constructed. Just the manner of self-expression. I'm a bit reluctant to give concrete examples because there will always be exceptions, but I just find that overall, at a class level, men and women speak and write differently. <<I wrote a paragraph here about a couple of times men masquerading as women were outed on another forum I use, for no good reason since men are welcome there, but I changed my mind. IM me if you're interested.>> I once fed two pieces of my writing into the Gender Genie. It decided one was male and one was female. If I use a gender neutral name online, I'm often assumed to be male until the conversation goes somewhere like sexual harassment, and then I'm apparently pretty convincing. It was a rhetorical question. Sorry I didn't make that clear. The point being there isn't anything or anyone in this world that is infallible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took me on a 50¢ tour of the place when they moved into Netflix's original facility eons ago. I Remember some of the rooms still had little signs next to them with their old logo. At the time they were doing City of Heros and were still independent --- not bought up by another company yet. His best friend worked there too, but was hired by some company up in San Francisco on Linden Avenue.... 🤔 Edited May 30, 2020 by Kimmi Zehetbauer Old age. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
