OT: Thanksgiving Wisdom from Marcus Aurelius

[LionJim]

I’m cleaning for Thanksgiving, lots of time to let my mind wander. I remembered this line, which I like very much.

“Accept the things to which fate binds you and love the people with whom fate brings you together but do so with all your heart.”

Happy Thanksgiving!

Mr. Jameson is not happy about the lack of an invite.

Very thankful this holiday season. My folks and sister are all doing great. I haven't killed any members at my part time job. Weather is great. Tapster is full.

Oh, and I got a new pal named Percival. A few years ago on Tom's old board, I posted about losing Canoe (a Blue Point Siamese) after 21 years. Percy is from the same breeder (who is retiring). He's 3.5 months old and weighs a couple lbs.

The similarities between Canoe and Percival are amazing. Note the vertical stripes on the foreheads - like a Jeep grill.

We are not on speaking terms due to political differences.

Whatever you paid for your beautiful new animal, donate same to your local shelter. It’s a rule (moms)

I have an 18 year old siamese rescue named Lilly who I've had since she was fostered at 6 months. I have always had one pure bred cat and one rescue.

not the rule, must follow

 

[LionJim]

not the rule, Rick must follow exactly. The rest of you, keep on keeping on, doing your best.

Fixed.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

Just got back from the dog park, I’m full on animal rights mode. I’ll chill by long wood gardens promise

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

So serious

 

[MtNittany]

not the rule, must follow

I wouldn't follow you into a bank vault.

 

[laKavosiey-st lion]

If you love animals, the rule makes perfect sense.

A purebred Siamese cat from a reputable breeder can cost between $500 and $2,800. The price can vary depending on the breeder's reputation and the cat's lineage.

im cool with say, $1400. Thx

I've given tens of thousands of dollars worth of synthetic turf and installations to shelters and rescues over the years.

Don't tell others what to do with their time or their money. It's bad form.

Why not say that in response to the rule the first time?

Probably because he was being nice and didn’t want to talk down to you. What he’s saying is common courtesy. Let it go, ffs.
