I got wool underwear. It's pretty great. It's a warm material. It's itchy so there's more friction which helps warm up. Plus, it's still on the sheep...

Feeling really down. My wife and I care for a few stray cats that end up on our property. Over the years, they seem to come and go for whatever reasons. A few years ago one kitten was found under my TL (seems to be a common occurrence) we would let her in for a few hours and then back out. We decided to keep her and it was the best thing we did. I absolutely love my cat. For the last 3 years, we've been caring for a guy named panos, which looks like our cat. Little guy was incredibly smart and we gave him the best treatment possible but he remained outdoors since he was an adult and it would be a difficult transition to become a house pet. He only trusted my wife and I. As of the last year he allowed us to pet him. So recently the little guy was having an issue breathing. I would put supplement medicine drops in the water as well as ensiyl-f in his food. After a week, he didn't seem to kick it. We tried to catch him yesterday and rush him to the animal hospital but he wouldn't allow me near him even with food. I knew deep down inside that it was too late. I told the little guy that he was a blessing the last 3 years having him around. I regret that we didn't try hard enough to get him into a foster program but around here they euthanize strays. He lived in our shed which I set up a spot for him and he ate multiple times in the day. Last night I heard him and prayed he would make it through the night and we would try to catch him again. I barely slept, decided to find him around 5 AM, I couldn't. I checked all around the property, didn't see him. I know at 6 AM he comes to the window asking for food. Nothing. My wife thinks he went off to hide and be alone as what most cats do near their end. I feel terrible but my wife said we can't keep them all and we did donate a bunch of kittens (with money) over the years. This little guy was special to me. I don't know where he is, nor do I know if I will ever see him again but prayed for him.

Thank you! I really appreciate the kind words and support. My wife said they wouldn't have made it as long as they did without us providing food and shelter. You become attached to them but this little guy was something else. I'm staying as positive as I can. If I don't see him by Sunday, i'll accept that he's no longer around.

@04WDPSeDaN G Money...
you have a heart of Gold...wife knows that, neighborhood women (edit: kitties, not sure why I put women
but that's too funny to correct) know that...and now we know that.
Keep your head up...I've become brazen over the years with losing pets of my own and now having a
different layer of love with my daughter...but it still gets me when you feel a close connection to another
creature and have to deal with that loss or acceptance that it has moved on. Just know that it meant
something to the cat and it means something to you and it means something to everyone that has a little
compassion in their hearts (nobody here, don't worry ).

Null and proud of it
She's one of my employees. A new hire. Sweet girl, a bit autistic I think. Wonderful personality but kinda off beat. I would go as far as to consider her a friend and somewhat attractive.
Well. She has 2 kids, divorced, was recently in an another, abusive relationship. He even destroyed her car and tried to forge the title to sell or scrap what was left.
Since then she has immersed herself in animae, video games and now tries to identify as an Asian as she is 1/8 vietnamese but looks and acts otally caucasian. It's kinda funny, actually.
Now, since the abusive relationship she appears to have decided to become bisexual or pansexual and is on the fence of being transgender.
So my dumb ass looks at her old Facebook account and throughout the past decade she went from being so nice and normal looking into becoming so plain jane. Even last year she looked somewhat feminine still. She was even a dental assistant in a wealthy Louisiana town.
She now lives with her two kids in a camper trailer in Mississippi and drives her mom's piece of shit Chrysler Sebring that breaks down every day. She's obsessed with video games and acts like a 13 year old when she's on her break but can, at other times, be totally normal. She even told me she would be happy living in a one room house.
She keeps trying to act slightly boyish, at times. And it seems a little more pronounced each time I see her.
Our site manager thinks she's weird and dumb but obviously he's kinda dumb, although he's a great guy.
Then I start to see the signs..... I want a new identity, I want to live in a one room house, blah blah blah....
Fuck...
I know what this is.... She is insecure as hell, in denial and looking for a way to become a new person because of the things someone else did to her.
This genuinely infuriates me and leaves me borderline in tears feeling sick to my stomach.
It's so much like what I did when I moved to the barn in Mississippi and the hotels trying to be a new person, although her self reinvention involves her sexuality too.
It is just so fucked up. But I know she's WAY too deep indenial to hear any voice of reason right now.
I can't say what she wants but I have a feeling she's going to totally ruin the rest if her life and regret it forever.
Maybe I'm populating some of the details wrong but I can tell she's insecure. She's really trying to sell herself on this wonderful idea that will solve all of her life problems so she can live happily after. She's says things like, can I really consider myself a woman anymore, but she was still feminine looking three months ago. Plus the obsession with video games, and the rebelliousness. I might be wrong but I think this is recent and I think she's going to realize a much harsher reality hopefully sooner than later.
It just pisses me off that no one else can see this but she clearly insecure and in denial and trying to resort to the easiest form of identity change possible just to not be who se used to be.
She has everyone else fooled but I can see through it.

That story actually ended a lot differently than I expected. Figured there'd be a load of man chowder involved and a realization that you liked it.
But I think I probably know how it's going to end now.

Better. Power back on Wednesday afternoon. Things have started warming up but still under a boil water notice for a couple days.
I'm about to go unwrap all the outside pipes and figure out which plants aren't going to make it (hint: probably all). Since I went up into the attic to check on the pipes during the freeze, I found out my water heater is leaking at the outlet from corrosion so it needs to get replaced in short order. Probably lucky to have noticed that... It's right over the room I just finished painting so it'd suck to have it leak through the ceiling doubly so.
Probably be a few weeks before we figure out how well the bees did. There is life, but not sure how bad it was for them.

I did find out that she is a role play actress, so she's probably created a character for her to use at work.
I think she's just trying to sort out weather or not she can become one of the boys or not. Start fresh and manipulate people for a control experiment and see how they respond and how that makes her feel.
Too many holes in her story. This is becoming for me now that I can see a little more truth.
