Things you wish you could say

I just had to argue with someone why I like expensive and ornamental chickens. Sigh.

Me: No, I'm sorry but I can't groom your Standard Poodle to look like a Maltese. That's just not the way grooming works, or anything for that matter.

In 2019 I went on a month long trip, and a friend's daughter offered to housesit for me. I think she thought it would be fun and a chance to get away from her parents. She found out that taking care of cats, fish, and a garden was more work than she could handle, and I felt bad for her, so I didn't say this when I got back.

"I have been cooking in this kitchen for twice as long as you've been alive. What on earth possessed you to completely rearrange it?!"

Yeah, and since she's about 6' tall, she put stuff in the very top cupboards. Things that I use regularly. I'm not quite 5'2". She took my taco shell makers and used to arrange the mail. View attachment 2510912
The not so funny part was the tip of one of my Shuns was broken off. Those are expensive knives.

My garden was also completely dead. At least all of my cats were okay.

As someone who has 15 years house/pet sitting experience, that is really strange.
I have cleaned stuff that I wasn't asked to clean but I've never rearranged anything.

I'm going to say it again because apparently I need (feel like I should scream it to the universe) to say it again.


DON'T KEEP POULTRY IF YOU'RE LEGALLY NOT ALLOWED TO!

I know it sucks and I specifically have this in mind for when I need to move to find somewhere I can have the birds I want. But you're not 'fighting the power' or some s#!t like that, you're risking the chance of fines, possibly more, and that your birds will be taken away and more than likely destroyed

You don't qualify? I thought everybody did. People are upset because it was supposed to be $2000. It would have been super helpful, but im not complaining

I didn't qualify either

She rearranged your kitchen? Weird!

Three years ago, my sister rearranged my barnyard, and I was only gone to an east-coast show for three days. She moved pens, took down a fence (I had just put it up to grow beans and shade the ducks), and cut down a mulberry tree.

!

If she did it to make me never ask again, it worked. Of course, I have been too busy ever since to take care of her dogs when she's out of town.

it is so hard to understand people who type in very long sentences often without punctuation when they are giving info how can you help them if you can't understand them i see this so much but i cant make it out using paragraphs and sentences in a revolutionary idea that said i understand if they are panicking and rushed but honestly they'd get so much more response if they made a good plan of whats wrong well spelt and phrased and punctuated well dont you think i mean can you understand this no i dont think so i often just skip these posts because they make my head buzz all the misspelt misphrased info i mean honestly i could go on and on oh wait i already have

I completely agree!
I think those people are using their phones and voice to text. If you don’t tell your phone to end a sentence with a period, it won’t.

i know but its still really hard to understand like this mile long block of solid text so confusing you can hardly tell what they are saying...

I can understand a solid block of text with no paragraphs just fine. Some people don't have the skills, some people are lazy, and sometimes it does get on my nerves. I don't judge people for their punctuation or ability to spell. I think people who point that out in threads (to the poster) are rude.
