What do capybaras do in the wild? It seems like just chilling out is a good way to get et in the jungle.

When they're in danger they dive into the river and disappear. Those webbed feet aren't just for show, they're a lot faster in the water than on land.

I had a boss who didn't like dogs or cats. When my cats moved in with me he asked me how I could stand those "things" in my house. And not liking dogs is just like... what.

But the things that made him happy were gold mining and Dairy Queen.

You can not like being around animals for legitimate reasons.
I don't like being around dogs because I'm not a fan of being slobbered on.

I do like to look at pictures of dogs being cute.

No, the real reason is that no animal will eat them because they're too adorable to be eaten.

Do any of you guys ever mentally raise an eyebrow at people who say they don't like animals? I get not wanting a messy house or whatever but how can somebody just flat out not like animals? Like... what makes them happy?

The thing about not liking animals vs not wanting to own one is very similar to people who say they don't like babies vs those who don't want to procreate.

The thing is taht animals, (and babies), are simultaneously awesome and terrible.

They are sweet, cute, funny companions that will give you love, and reward you with companionship and warmth and they do and say teh most amazing things.

But they are also uncontrollable poo and vomit machines that will wreck everything you own, and eat up all of your time with harsh labourious drudgery and cost you absurd amounts of money.

Although that being said, I love animals, and babies, yet am pet-free and childless. So I guess I get the best of both worlds.

There used to be green cats but they turned into plants because they slept too much.
I am a self-confessed animal crazy; so is my family, they just hide it better.

I totally understand not having the same passion that I do for animals; I am an animal person and while I can be sociable and people won't realise it, I am NOT a people person.

And I get the dirty, slobbery thing, but if I offer you a tiny, freshly cleaned kitten that is purring and just cuddling and you don't have allergies and you refuse it...yeah.

Could someone post or PM me that beer commercial I saw in this thread at some point where a son writes a book and his dad does all this stuff to learn how to read and goes up to his son at the bar and says that he read his book and the son asks the bartender for a beer to celebrate? I'm having an awful time trying to find it because it wasn't a beer name I'd ever heard of and I think it wasn't even aired in the US. Was hoping to show it to a friend soon. Thanks!

Edit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkn9VXcBOmU I saw this on Imgur and it's what made me remember that other commercial. I wish more American commercials were heartfelt things like this instead of the dumbass poo poo you see now. Though I guess that's okay because I don't feel as compelled to buy what they're trying to sell, so I guess it balances out?

I was helping out at a family member's office as a favor and decided to bring my dog Phoebe Liz along for moral support. While working at a desk alongside co-workers my co-workers and I looked up and found that she had planted herself at an empty desk and seemed very out of her depth:

"I don't get it guys what's the appeal of sitting on these?"


"I have no idea what I'm doing here."


She remained planted like that the entire day, even when an insurance salesman came by and said "that dog just made my whole day." Phoebe is a good girl.

I definitely hear this - while I have zero desire to have kids, I don't dislike kids at all. My 2 nephews and several young kids of my coworkers are fun and hilarious, and nothing feels better than making a baby or toddler laugh by doing silly things like making faces. Animals are the same way, I love dogs, cats and just about any other animal, but really don't have the time or energy to take care of them, even if my place allowed them. Funny thing is, I usually end up being the type of person animals migrate to when I visit someone, I've had peoples' "mean old grumpy cats" saunter up to me for pets, or dogs will want to sit in my lap or curl up at my feet. I used to be super allergic to cats (sneezing, hives, swelled up eyes, trouble breathing) but found out about 10 years back that I'd somehow got over the allergy when I dated a girl whose roommate had a cat. Weirdest thing, but I ain't complaining v:shobon:v

So my mother came up on her one year anniversary of being cancer free, to celebrate she took a much needed, long time coming and richly deserved vacation to Florida, with the bonus that she can see her sister and celebrate her 70th birthday, plus they haven't seen each other since their brother passed away.

My pops has mobility issues and is a bit absent minded so its up to me to keep order in their house and generally help, cook, clean be sure dad takes his medicines, his insulin etc, I essentially need to be my mother for this week. Which is somewhat hilarious considering what a slob I am.

Only been at it for 2 days and it amazes me the sheer amount of things she does without breaking a stride, I always appreciated everything she did for me, now I have an even bigger appreciation for her and the things she did while I was growing up, because I know I was a lovely kid sometimes. I also thank every single deity on this earth for the fact that she's cancer free.

I seriously loving love you mom.

I hope she's having a blast over there. :unsmith:
