You were just a bit too south. The western part of Massachusetts is the best place in America.
Excuse me, excuse me, but there isn’t anything past 495. Worcester is just a myth we made up to see out of staters try to pronounce it.

The fact that you think Worcester is in western MA is how I know you’re from Boston kid. That’s wicked wrong.
PS you may get a kick out of this

When I moved to MA, both family and coworkers all quizzed me about everything from Worcester to Peabody to Scituate. CAN’T GET ME NOW.

Okay. I’m gonna admit something.
When we were out, and a game was on TV, I looked at the screen and said ‘Which team is that with the red B on their hat?’
@Roz just stared at me. She was like. “Tez.”
she/they

I’ve had a truly impressively bad experience with therapists, of late, but I finally found one that’s kind and willing to listen to me, and adjusted her treatment plan when I told her that I’ve not had good luck with CBT. We’re unraveling this wonky ball of yarn together, and it’s been helping. A lot.
I feel super grateful to have finally landed on someone who’s treating me with empathy and kindness.

Today I am happy that a bunch of librarians organized a normal tourist expedition to one of Florida’s most historical resorts.

Something normal? In Florida?

I’m having to step into our level 6/7 teacher’s shoes while she is out on bereavement for a suddenly lost family member.
School starts next week.
I’ve never done middle school, and while if it was /my/ class, I could easily do this, knowing I’m going to hand it back to her makes about 50% of the start of year things… not really whatI should be doing (Class culture, specific routines like, how to put her books back on the shelves, etc) since she will have to redo them to her norms the next week.
This left me crazy flail had stressed.
Until I logged onto to HT and saw the player Sienna.
She teaches 7th grade literacy. I paged her and went “HELP PEASE.” She SHOWERED me in all the plans and activities she did this week.
I’d be dead right now without my Mu* connections.
(This is in happy because I’m so happy and there didn’t seem an appropriate game-related place.)
-
@junipersky Sienna is a friggin’ saint and I
her to bits (and that makes me RL happy, too, just knowing people like her are out there to help people) -
I have trained my dog incorrectly.
I’ve had her since infancy and she’s my first ever pupper, so I’ve been learning as I go along.
One of the first things I taught her to do, just because I thought it would be cool, is to high-five me.
Unfortunately, I have erred. I have not successfully instilled in her that she’s only supposed to do it when I raise my hand or say the word. So now she’s almost two years old and she just gets exuberantly excited to try and high-five me constantly, at every possible opportunity.
I’m not mad because it’s the cutest mistake I’ve ever made, and I’m doing a poor job of correcting it with my inability to hold back the instinctive positive reinforcement I provide every time she does it.
This is my RL happy, it’s simple and it happens frequently every day.

@Kestrel I have a similar issue with one of our cats. We taught him to give us a paw when we feed him a snack.
Now he’ll often come up to you and lift his paw up, waiting for you to show your palm so he can tap it and get a snack. At random.
We call it “having his credit card out”.

Your cat trained you well.

We did this with our dog - and because we give our dog a cutesy voice to ‘respond to us’ in, when he tentatively puts his paw on our arm for something random, we always reckoned he was saying, “Fren. Fren. Is okay.”
So now whenever he puts his paw on us, it’s a Fren Request.

My partner started teaching my very food motivated cat to sit up like a meerkat for food at some point, and now she does it when she wants things, not just when she’s offered things. She’s doing it AS I TYPE because I haven’t fed her breakfast yet, adding on the new behavior she’s randomly attached to it and meowing every time she pops up on her back legs.
Oh, and she ‘bites’ me (more like putting teeth on skin than actual biting) when I don’t comply, which she reminded me of when I went to see if I have the meerkating on her tiktok. I don’t.
At this point most of her behaviors are both very annoying and the most adorable thing ever at the same time. XD

I have this scraggly-ass old lady cat named Gordon who’s a shaggy, baggy, bony, but ultimately happy and KNOWS SHE IS QUEEN OF THE WORLD tabby cat and her ‘thing’ when I’m not attentive enough is to leap like a gazelle back and forth over my laptop + lap until she gets the attention she wants. If it’s a
snakeSNACK she wants, when I stop typing or whatever, she immediately sticks a nose in my pocket.She’s a pretty cool old cat. Just as pushy and snitty as her mom.
ETA: I do not keep snakes in my pocket. Silly typo.
