  • I used to live in the area and the “massive flooding all the time” is literally nothing compared to the amount of devastation in the area currently. Entire communities have literally been obliterated by landslides. Thousands of people are stranded because of damaged roads. Hundreds of thousands are still without power. In some isolated areas it is going to take weeks/months to rebuild infrastructure to even access the areas, let alone repair homes and return electricity.

    I’m actually upset, because your comment is implying that this is a run-of-the-mill occurrence in the area. This is an unprecedented tragedy and the worst flooding the area has seen since 1916 (and this time it affects thousands more people because of growth in the region.)


  • Fixed cats live longer. Spaying decreases the likelihood of cats developing certain types of cancers.

    Friends of mine literally last week had to put their cat down because she developed breast cancer and rapidly deteriorated (we’re talking painful skin ulcers here.) If the cat had been spayed at a young age, she would likely still be here.

    And as others have said, spaying is the wise choice in case she were ever to accidentally get outside.




  • I haven’t edited the photo to confirm but I don’t think that’s true. I think the bottom piece is installed upside down. So to fix it, you’d flip that one around and put it back in that space, then take out the next two moving vertically and switch where they are each placed. Then you have a nice straight line where the bumpy brick sidewalk ends.
