My cat Mel just called me on the phone.

PapaLew had his phone on the counter, Mel was trying to get petted & apparently stepped on redial. I answer the phone and all I hear is meowing.

Guess Mel just wanted to talk to mommy...
 
Side note: As I read that post & typed my response I'm live-streaming KJJY. Currently playing: Shameless, by Garth Brooks. :)


Hah! Also from 20ish years ago...Wait, 25. No judging, I got my '80's pop and '80's country on pandora, although I've been listening to way more MercyMe and stuff lately than anything else.

I actually fell for one of those soon after signing up. My friend was really nice and let me know without making me look like even more of an idiot

Not to burst your "old folks" rant, but I've seen that twice on my feed today. Both times, it was shared by a 20-something. :)

I should of gotten video. My cat Tiger was sitting in the window above the couch sleeping with her face away from me. I took a sock balled in up and threw it toward the couch. I swear to god she jumped and did a 180 in the air. :smile:
 
I just love love how practical German is. What do you call someone you live with? A withliver


OK, I'll nerd out with you guys a little...I've been listening to a lot of bible study podcasts, and they do a lot of going back to the original texts to understand better. I'm kind of amazed at how sometimes overly complicated English can be, while still not being as nuanced as other languages. A couple instances of the second...for us (unless you're from Texas) we have "you" meaning the individual 'you', and the collective 'all of you'. It's why I've started using y'all on here, because it can take a comment that might seem directed at an individual and make it clear that it's the collective version.

Similiarly, "Love"...we use the same word for the feelings of a mother for a child, for a husband for a wife, for a friend to a friend, and even a strong affinity for cheesecake, but the Greeks had Agape (god/us love, parent/child love), Eros (romantic love), Philia (friendship love), and storge (family love).
