Hey thanks a lot for the kind words, it means a lot to me. She was very vocal and would respond when I talked to her. It's only been a few hours but I miss her talking back already

Towards the end she would not eat her normal cat food at all. I could only get her to eat human food like tuna, cheeses smoked kippers, and fresh catnip, so at least she went out high with a full belly

A Real cutie, I'm thinking of filling the void by going to the humane association and adopting another cat

Yeah theres kwik trip around here but I 100% dont shop there since the owners donate to gop candidates and are pro life and dont even sell condoms at their stores. Besides that though I've been making my own bread on and off for about a decade now, flour and yeast is much cheaper and tastier than a manufactured loaf anyway.

One trick I've learned to make a good loaf is the windowpane test which you cant really do with a bread machine. You grab a little chunk of kneaded dough roll it in a circle wait a few mins for it to rise then grab 4 corners and pull it apart. If its translucent and you can see light through it without it tearing it's ready to rise then bake

Thanks I really appreciate the support. I took her to the emergency vet 2 months ago and been giving her blood pressure pills and hyperthyroidism pills to keep her going. But i had to have her euthanized a few hours ago since she could hardly move or see since she had atrophied iris'. I buried her in the strawberry garden in my parents yard and have been drinking since

A union job or working in a coop is really the way to go even if you struggle along the way. Also I'd kill for 3$ a loaf cheap bread. I live in bumfucksville WI and a cheap loaf is at least 5$ a loaf while the average income is around 40k a year in my county

Yeah the cubicle farm that smells like farts and microwaved fish is integral to a good days work!

The softwood kind of fuzzed out but otherwise everything turned out pretty good after a solid sanding. I used oak for the wood tiles, birch for the sheep and wheat, and ash for the ore with various stains for each
