I mean about her not being AI... In fact I suspect it even more after seeing the video 🤣

As a child I had a guinea pig. Its name was... Guinea. Clearly I was a creative genius.

40 to 50 years so maybe. He certainly eats and drinks more healthy than I do. When he's not yelling at me to share whatever I'm eating. He likes to constantly beat you down with "is it good" if you try to ignore him. Thanks to the ex for teaching him that one.

when I was young...I lived in an apartment. next door apartment was this older fella. think he was late 50s...I was maybe 22. this was before the internet was around and had anything on it. anyways we shared a staircase and porch, so we would chat on the porch a lot. he came home with this bird one day. one like that. said he paid like 6k for it or some crazy amount that made me about fall over. could buy a small new stripped down car for 10k back then.


bird would go crazy on getting attention. I could hear it all night long through the thin wall. it would sit on his shoulder and if he talked to me and not the bird it would peck at him until he paid attention to only it. super nuisance.

one day he's out on the porch and no bird. so I asked where his bird was. said he was at a pet store to get food and whatever and started talking with the bird expert. they mentioned it would live like 50 years or whatever, so he came home got the bird, and took it back and gave it to the bird expert. that was the end of that. man was it nice having quiet at night again......

When we had laying hens , possums were a big problem for us . They killed and took whatever they could : eggs , chics and hens .

My dogs killed or treed them for me to kill .

Which I did , however reluctantly . You protect your stock from predation , in this kind of place , or lose them .

No chickens now here , to worry about , and the dogs are penned . So the possums are free to roam unmolested .

I still think they're ugly critters ! But safe from me .

I work now and then as a forest ecologist in Australia, doing wildlife surveys, so I see some fauna you might not see yourselves that often...

Flame robin, a threatened species

Greater glider, a nationally endangered species, found during nocturnal surveys. This is the pale form which is uncommon, they are usually dark in colour.

Minus the color, the shingleback looks similar to our gila monster.
 
I'm not a cat person, at all. I don't like cats. I judge people who have cats and, subsequently, act accordingly.

This is my cat, Jax.. first and only.20241128_232936.jpg
These are amazing little creatures!

This summer, when he was a tiny, tiny 'puppy', i scooped him up just before the bottom dropped out of a thunderstorm, for days...while he was giving 'best efforts' to run under the wheel of my truck at work. This is the most loyal and trustworthy creature i've known. All the attributes we associate with dogs, except more articulate, interactive and independent...with a bad case of ADHD. When in, ever present, 'at my side.'

The name says it all:
Jackson Donatello

Donatello is primarily a male name of Italian origin that means "A Gift."
The name Donatello is not very common, but it has a rich history and is associated with creativity, intelligence, and kindness.

If you own a cat. I get it now...and will still judge you.
