Yep, our Iggy ran all the way out to the back yard prancing around tail up, barking at the intruder back inside the house. The other two are sitting in bed with me with a ‘wtf was that!’ expression.

Birds aren’t real

Husband: I want one of those! /s

Wife: who needs a rooster when you can hear that all night long??

You win the Internet today

I’m waiting for rule 34ification of this post.

I think your comment is the source of a lot of people’s problems with sticking pasta. If there pots aren’t big enough and stove not powerful enough, a large amount of pasta can cool the water enough to stop the boiling and the pasta will stick if not stirred.

Make that red a little more brown and you got it.

Terrifying

There aren’t a lot if you consider your immediate social circle, but social media allows us to reach millions of people and increases our experience database. In all my social circles of maybe a couple hundred people over the last 40 years I have 2 acquaintances that were considered dangerous. One was a husband that fell into meth use, and another was a narcissist boyfriend they couldn’t take no for an answer. My extended social circle ranges from nurses and doctors to hairdressers to real estate agents to retired PD to cancer researchers to the trades to high tech folks and everything in between.

Your general practitioner MD has no clue what to do about backs. Go find a physiatry specialist, no need for a referral unless you’re on an HMO. They’re the most knowledgeable MDs (not chiropractors) for spine problems. The professional sports teams use them. They’ll definitely do an MRI first and then prescribe PT. Next would be cortisone injections, and their last resort is surgery.
