"hurf de durf, it's byob time..."

Tanuki managed to fend off the brush but not before some small mats were hunted down and removed. Then there was petting and a treat!

xcheopis I hope you see this. I've got a fluffy boi that has a thick coat (mainecoonish) and tends to get mats time to time. Recently his mats were at an all time high and I was just at a loss because the brushes I had really just weren't cutting it.

I found this brush and it broke up/pulled (gently, he did not protest THAT much) all of his mats and omg he is the softest he has ever been since he was a kitten. This brush has been the best for his coat I have ever used and now that he doesn't have mats he seems to enjoy his daily brushes with it.

Thanks! :)
For my fluffy fellow, it's a combination of his arthritis and mine. He can't groom himself as well and my hands, while doing much, much better now, are still stiff and clumsy. It's mostly the areas around his legs and a bit on his fluffy fluffy belly. He has, like, 15 different combs and brushes, including the Evolution ones with rotating teeth. He is mostly a good boy about it all but does eventually get bitey.

Also, I'm not seeing any pictures of a maincoonish cat in your post. What's up with that?

Yeah some of the gassing has been from me as well don't heap it all on GaG. I agree with what he has posted and he put it about as well as I would have, and cda as well, and duckie's FAQ in the rules thread. Can also confirm that cda has made some of the best threads in byob but also has had plenty of threads gassed so if you get a thread gassed you are in good company.

I will admit a long time ago I was also upset if a thread I posted got gassed, but eventually (partially through the guidance of dogcrash truther and duckie) I learned to see making threads like casting out little paper boats and seeing what happens. Sometimes my little boat, maybe even the one I put the most love into crafting, gets no replies and langiushes; sometimes a boat gets sent down the sewer drain; and sometimes the shittiest little boat that i barfed out goes on an amazing journey and becomes something wonderful beyond what my initial effort deserved. BYOB is a dynamic place that ebbs and flows and you never know what is going to happen. That's what I love about :justpost: philosophy, just let your thread go and sometimes it goes somewhere more wonderful than you ever expected, and sometimes it doesn't. And the wonderful ones wouldn't happen if people didn't :justpost:.

my drat camera on my phone has been broken for months, and i've been holding out to just get a new phone that has yet to be announced/released... But I believe I have held out on BYOB long enough...

This is Indy (short for Indiana Jones) we adopted him at about 6 months old and he will be turning 11 in march. He is a very large cat, and his belly and tail are very fluffy. He has decided my new floor pillow is his favorite spot to lay, so I put it on the couch next to me while I play video games, post etc.

:justpost:ing to complain about the loss of a completed effort post by hitting a keyboard shortcut and paging back out of my reply. I'm not even sure what key I hit. All I know is that I was words away from hitting post reply. FML. only writing effort posts in word from now on. its a lesson all goons must learn eventually i guess. :suicide:

Life doesn't have to have some grand purpose to be meaningful. We all have positive effects on people around us whether we realize it or not. It can be hard to remember this during recent times where socialization is way down, and i think this has hit a lot of people pretty hard psychologically, myself included. Try to hang in there, maybe reach out to some old friends.

I don't know what to tell you to help, because I often suffer the same affliction. Watch some concert footage with friends(virtually), sip a nice beer, make a favorite meal, watch sports if you like em (NBA Playoffs have been very good for me the past week) watch some bike, skate, snow, surf, etc videos.

Try not to get bogged down.

poo poo is tough and its hard to understand what the point is.

It's more my work situation. I've been spinning my wheels for over a year now. I want to quit my job and move on with my stupid life but fuckin' nobody wants to hire me. I'm thinking of giving up and moving back to the US or something.

I hear that SWR. Times are tough for a lot of people in that regard too, and it's gotta be especially hard for you being in a foreign country having to worry about immigration status etc. I can't tell you what's best but I wish you luck whatever you decide to do.

My brother in law works in the brewing industry in the PNW and according to him times are good, FWIW

also whatever you decide don't give into the temptation to think "what was the point of it all anyway." sometimes the point of things is just having done them and that's enough. I don't know if this is similar at all to your situation but I lived in Germany for two summers working in a machine shop so that i could perfect my german language skills and also get some inroads in my field (engineering) there, and i did not end up moving there permanently, even though that had kinda been the gist / plan / hope. But I still really value the time I spent there and the things i experienced there, it was not pointless at all. We are all products of our experiences and those experiences play a part in who I am now in a way that I value. If you decide to head home, which I am not advocating, but if you do, I hope you can realize this and feel good about it.

I suppose I could try for a brewing job in the PNW but that's a competitive market in the best of times. I'm just sick of sitting around waiting for results. But, whatever. It doesn't really matter.

i am doing well.

a while back i embraced the pointlessness of life, and decided to fill the resulting void with my own custom-built purpose, which is mostly playing around in dirt and clay. so far this year i have spent a lot of time playing around in dirt and clay, so everything is right on track!

I have similar feelings, in a different way. I've been doing my job for long enough that it would be stupid to try to start over and do something different at my age and without specialized education for some new venture that I literally don't even know what it is and can't figure out what I want if I try. That and there are people who depend on me and what my job provides. However I struggle to find satisfaction in my work, and have a lot of trouble focusing on it (hi byob.) I'm trying really hard to think about my job in a different way, in which it satisfies me because it provides things that I need and because I know that overall I am so very lucky in so many ways. And I think I am actually ok at my job, I'm just, resistant to it, and have a lot of trouble just leaning into it. If I could get over that I could probably believe I am good at it.

I sound pretty immature, wouldn't you say? Sorry for the sad ramble.

:dehumanize:

Also dang, heavy vibes in the bee hole today. I don't think there's anything wrong with flirting with nihilism. I fill the emptiness inside of myself with pizza, weed, and liquor, it's been going ok, and I'm certainly looking forward to escaping the mortal coil sooner rather than later, I'm just trying to enjoy it while it lasts. SWR maybe try taking your mind off the existential dread by listening to your favorite records, setting down with a good book, or maybe texting one of those sweet ladies you met recently. I dunno, flip the script, my dude.
