Debutantes lol, what year is-


Oh

E: is a debutante akin to one of those coming of age things that's a little creepy?

It’s a cotillion thing.

Back in the day it was their “coming out” ball where male suitors were free to start trying to sex them up while the parents horse traded in the back.

Now it’s just some white privilege country club poo poo

The official coming out a little different depending on what part of the country you're in. For example, where General Dog grew up it's generally the first time they show up at a family reunion.

My cat had this too, and my favorite stat I learned as part of it was "it affects 20 to 60 percent of cats"

That's a hell of a range.

Every cat I've ever owned had to have at least one tooth pulled because of this. One even had to get pretty much all her teeth pulled over three surgeries because of this.

This shit's about to go off.
Speaking of cats with health problems, mine has every goddamn medical issue a cat can have. In addition to all but 3 teeth being pulled he has a heart murmur, hyperthyroid, food allergies, and some kind of bowel problem he takes a steroid for. I give him 3 medications twice a day and have to buy special prescription food that’s hella expensive. He’s also scared of absolutely everything, like his fight or flight response is triggered by any noise or movement at all. He’s a sweetie though.

My wife and I watched the new IT movies and while they're decent Friday and Saturday night scare fests holy poo poo they did not need to be 5 hours combined (yes, even considering the source material is 1,000+ words). It was just non-stop crazy poo poo, and the novelty of the scares quickly wore away.

I drive a dedicated run as part of a team so I don't have to worry about running out of hours and my breaks are planned for the same areas. If poo poo goes wrong and I'm stuck behind a wreck for hours my codriver Dad can take over.

The automatic transmissions are getting better, the DEF systems are less prone to breaking, and fuel mileage is getting better. The nanny systems are annoying, the "collision warning" will be triggered by overhead signs or bridges that are only 14' 6" which is a full foot higher than the truck.

I actually like the ergonomics of the old truck a little better, it had a nice cubby for holding my sunglasses case and mileage pad right nearby.

Yesterday at a dog agility trial, an acquaintance of my wife told her that she and her husband are contemplating adoption, but would only adopt a light-skinned baby.

My wife asked why. The acquaintance replied that her family and friends wouldn't like it if they adopted a dark-skinned baby. She also lamented that she was a debutante, which means her daughters are eligible to be debutantes. But the "Palmetto Society" only allows girls with light skin to be debutantes. So if they adopted a dark skinned baby they wouldn't be accepted as a debutante.

Sometimes I forget that living in the Carolinas means living in the year 1892
