What a sweet and heartbreaking photo!

One of the best stories I've heard in a while. Purrrr-ty funny.

My only thought when I read this after reading about the European heat wave story) was: those clothes look hot.

Legal blindness shouldn't be a barrier to finding jobs as the article states ("has made it difficult to find a job") other than employers not giving people a chance! Use of accessible technology tools has removed so many technical barriers to employment for people who are blind. Too many unemployed and underemployed people with disabilities who have a lot to give! :)

You all might enjoy the Feb. 20, 2019 episode of the podcast "Imaginary Worlds" which is entitled "The Man Behind the Sword" about Robert Howard and the carton of Conan. This is a great podcast in general for people who like SF and fantasy.

I'm waiting for karma to catch up to this landlord.

Poor thing! I hope it liked its new home.

Fascinating story!

I loved them too! Didn't SCTV do an entire episode where they re-dubbed an episode of Cisco Kid? Yes--I just found it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cGZZNiOqGZg

Wow, these brought me back. I was in high school at the time and we used to take the LIRR into the city (that's exactly what we called it: The City. As if there weren't any others). It was filthy and parts of it were creepy (Times Square at the time) and we loved it. Look at all the mom & pop shops in these photos--fewer chain, few "boutiques" and more independently owned stores that served their communities. That I miss.

Usually spiders don't creep me out. This one though . . . looks as though it's molding.

so glad they saved this pup!

Sweet story!

It's also quite common in older people who have had certain kind of strokes. My mother was gradually losing her vision after her stroke and had Charles Bonnet syndrome. She was usually quite amused by the things she saw ("iron animals" moving in the courtyard, a baseball game going on outside her window, a cat or baby on the floor) but she'd get annoyed if she thought her visions were people who weren't answering when she spoke to them. She had a wonderful sense of humor and maintained her upbeat personality even as her vascular dementia increased. She died three years ago and I miss her every day. So if you know of older folks who are "seeing things" they may not be "crazy" or even have dementia--they may have Charles Bonnet.
