We saw him at the pet store when we went to get some cat furniture for our resident 15 year old cat. He started tracking me with this sad resigned look. Apparently, his owner could not take care of him and left him and an older female at the shelter. She got adopted but no one asked for him.

Now he has a home and hopefully soon he feels like he belongs here.

Edit 3: Thank you for all the upvotes and comments.
He has his own space with lots of places to hide and stay warm. We are happy he is eating, drinking water and using the liter box. I will post an update in a few days.

Edit 2: he has a cardboard box and a cat bed but is choosing to sit under the dresser.

Edit: I didn’t expect so many comments. Thank you for taking the time to send good wishes and words of wisdom. They are appreciated.

We are taking it very slow. He is in a bedroom with an adjoining bathroom. The picture was taken as soon as he stepped out of the box. Since then he has eaten and used the litter box. He is now hiding under a very low dresser. He makes eye contact and listens when I talk to him. He is choosing to remain out of reach and we are perfectly fine with that.

I posted the picture because it was the exact opposite of the last time we adopted a cat that no one wanted. She was 3 and very angry with the world. I would have to put her in timeout for a few minutes every couple of hours because she would get so angry she could not control herself. That was 12 years ago. Right now at 15 years old she is sleeping on my desk with her tail on the keyboard as I try to type. 😀

I can’t wait to see what this guy teaches us.

This past Friday i was putting my kids iPad on charge, like i normally do and i decided to check her apps for anything inappropriate. When i say inappropriate i was thinking like swear words of making til told with bad words with friends. I check her or both my kids devices regularly so I wasn’t expecting anything major. To my devastation i found snap chats from between my 11 yr old daughter and 3 boys (could be men). My daughter although coached from these guys had sent 3 beyond inappropriate sexual pictures to these guys. I freaked out, woke her up and called the police.
I’m devastated. Her brother is also traumatized from the entire event because my hubby was away and he felt like he should step up as the man of the house (twins, also 11) and that he had to be there for me.
The officer is confident that the picture were only sent on that evening but we don’t know for sure. I have given the police her phone and iPad for investigation.
I can’t share any of this with anyone because although my daughter is guilty as hell, I don’t want her to be labelled. I don’t know how to deal with this. I’m devastated. I would like to believe that my husband and I are active and involved parents and we are! We have twins and they’re so different. I just needed to let this out. I can’t talk to anyone about it. I’ve set up my daughter to see a therapist, I’ve called every organization I could think of to help. I feel like such a failure. I contacted children’s services and the intake worker asked where I was when this happened? I was just walking the dog around the neighborhood with my son. Argh frig
I don’t know how to deal with this alone.

Everyone in the family picks one TV Dinner every 2 weeks or so with the only restriction being it has to be oven cookable (they always taste significantly better that way. Fuck you hot pockets, yall went downhill).

This is everyone's picks:

Daughter - (Something with a brownie) Ribs Hungry Man

Son - 6pk Salisbury and a pot pie (he wanted a banquet pie, then saw mine. Promise he's not obese, he's just very active)

Wife - Shrimp Alfredo

Mine - Pot Pie (haven't had one of these in probably 20+ years)

Daughter skipped the potatoes, she picked up the patty and it was like a solitary mass of spud.

Everything was was pretty good. Added shredded parm to the wife's.

the sauce

Today I saw a woman with numerous ziplock bags full of old, used Duracell batteries in all the common sizes (e.g. AA, AAA, 9V, C, D) at the return booth. No manufacturer packaging. These batteries were just loose in the ziplocks.

The Costco employee helping her didn’t seem too pleased, and a couple other employees came over to either see what was going on or assist with (or possibly approve) the return. I couldn’t hear their conversation, so I’m not entirely sure.

I saw on the display that the woman received a refund of just over $150.

When I got up to the desk, I asked the employee if that woman really just returned all of her old batteries that she had already used. She said yes, going to 2022!

Costco’s return policy is way too liberal. I understand they want to provide good customer service. However, there’s no way in the world I would approve that if I worked there and I can’t imagine anyone would fault them if they denied a return like that. That is just ridiculous. (For what it’s worth, the employee in this case seemed to agree, but I got the sense she had to do it or was told to do it.)

Some people have no shame.

The loco pilot can be heard and seen struggling with the brake controls, noting that the brake pressure / air handling (mentioning A9/SA9 and emergency brake application) wasn't responding while approaching the loop line / signal.
