Not sure what they are referring to...
I never saw anyone walking a ferret either.

Cats...i love'em, i prefer the company of a kittypeople to most peoplepeople. BUT i am not capable of having a kitty right now. Everywhere i go they find me, and it starts. First it's the leg rub, then the sad eyes thing. First the petting and talking and invariably they convince me just a treat treat one time...then that leads to one small bag of treat treats..and then its oh just one time a can of 9 Lives. Total collapse follows with a 12 pack and 3.5 lb bag of kittyfood all resistance crumbles. Sigh...i thinks cats have a Facebook page with my mugshot and somehow maybe a cat version of CIA track me and hunt me like the Mafia hunts informants. I need to find Don Catleone and make a deal... today when i go grocery shopping high probability some cat treats will be coming with me....

Whoever invented drive cycles in modern cars to make "ready" your vehicle's emission monitors after a battery change or an auto repair should be serving time in the same small cell with the person who invented flat roofs and those who maintain Walmart's website security.

Ferrets absolutely live for their next leash walk, which can be up to 6 blocks, depending on the heat, as ferrets are heat sensitive.

When I lived in Las Vegas for 22 years, I religiously walked my ferrets on the Las Vegas Strip at night when crowds died down. You can't walk a ferret in the day time as they're nocturnal, which is why you probably haven't seen someone walking a ferret.

Here, in Tucson, you may find us walking downtown on Congress Street, Historic 4th Avenue or the University district. Any night where there's people around, you can expect lots of selfies to be taken, many times with them holding my ferret in their arms.

Ferrets are estimated to be the 3rd most popular pet in the country. They're still illegal in California but many Californians own ferrets, except they can't walk them like I do, or the police will confiscate them and send them to a ferret shelter in Arizona.

My email siggy line is suddenly being treated as spam by the universe's worst email service.

I am getting increasingly tired of generational stereotyping. Nothing but endless insult, bashing and complaining: ALL millennials are lazy, entitled and needy; ALL baby boomers are cranky tech-averts who hate change; ALL generation X are Karens that hate everything and everyone and are racist, homophobic, and transphobic, ALL Gen Z are overprotected, fragile and hyper-sensitive snowflakes, etc ... Such a nasty buzzwords!

That’s not how social identity works. Stereotypes of any kind are harmful and I wish that meaningless generalization nonsense should be abandoned...

Not sure how the Zulilly page came up but they were advertising some items that people might want to check out. Then up pops one of their notes where you have to put in your email address if you want to continue shopping there or viewing whatever. It might gave but m tired of supplying these stores with my email address and then getting flooded with all kinds of email. In case someone says just "x" out. Um, there were no "x"'s. Unless it was microscopic, white font on white background. Then, yeah, I may have missed it.

I've never gotten an email from any company where you can't unsubscribe. I don't know if it's a law or what. But you're right, it's very tiny, and at the bottom of the email, but you click on "unsubscribe" and it will stop (maybe once in a GREAT while they will send another one, but mostly it's taken care of. And if you don't ever order from them, that will most likely drop off permanently). If you'd like to check it out...

If you have gmail, there's also an option that pops up if you mark it as spam to unsubscribe that way.
