The cat had no concept of "going for a walk" and would take 2 steps. Sit and look around. Lick himself. Go 5 steps in the opposite direction and repeat.
I have never taken any cat I've had for a walk, but it was all too easy to imagine this happening. I admit I just snort laughed my head off and I am still occasionally giggling about this.

I have no desire for a baby shower when the time comes, I don't want anyone to feel obligated to by me anything. As for the gender reveal parties, IMHO I think they are dumb and if you think about it, the terminology is wrong. Technically, it is a sex reveal as you know what sex the child will be. The gender comes later when the child will identify with either male or female behaviors. When the Tim comes for me to have a kid, the sex reveal will happen at the hospital in the delivery room.
I also dislike the idea of push gifts. I heard this term about a year ago during a conversation between colleagues. Why should a father to be have to buy an expensive gift for the mother to be. The baby alone is the gift (not a new car or expensive piece of jewelry)

This triggered flashbacks in my mind to the 'polar opposite' behavior of a sibling's dog, when said dog was a (new, very young, and very tiny) puppy, and she'd zoom-zoom-zoom! all over the place... and then when taken outside (while still a wee thing, and so new to the world), she did the same kind of skitter-skatter-esque 'running all over the place', and practically 'jump-flying' (as though it was one of the first times (oh, yeah, that's right -- it *was* ;P ) she'd 'discovered' the outdoors (and had perhaps 'missed the memo' that she wasn't a squirrel )... and it was so comically delightful to see this little being go 'buzzing' all around... and she'd zoom over to a tree, and you could 'swear' you'd 'heard' her 'think-say', "you're HERE! you're HERE! you're WONDERFUL! what ARE you?!!!", and then 'voomp!' -- she was 'off to the races', and had bolted to 'anywhere and everywhere' in the yard, seemingly thrilled to be exploring the environment...
(...yeah, it took a while for the 'chill gene' in her to 'go into production', so to speak... ) 0 -

Well, let's make it a party... 'cause I initially race-read "CountessKitteh" as "CountessKeith" -- which immediately brought to mind the ongoing discussion about 'gender reveal parties' (!).
< looking for the nearest rock to crawl under... >
It took me a while to figure it out too (tincanonastring). So are you going to fess up to what your name means? I admit to being fascinated. And given your clearly intelligent brain it means something... If only to you...
My humble apologies for inadvertently not yet responding to the inquiring-minds-wanna-know 'request-for-information/clarification/explanation/wth-IS-that?!' gentle 'lines of inquiry' from you and BZAH10...
...as for 'The Mystery of the Funky UserName' (next up, in the Nancy Drew oeuvre )... I initially wondered about keeping any explanation/clarification to 'just a few lines', or otherwise such that it occupied a 'stick-of-cheese'-sized piece of 'screen real estate', when displayed... and without feeling as though I was doing so 'with a gun to my head' (as if some sort of 'invisible lawman' was going to 'monitor the process', in order to ensure that 'forced constriction' took place (such that the Presumed Laws of Preferential Posting were 'followed'))... whereas what I *wanted* to do, was to respond with whatever playfully conveyed explanation felt natural to have 'spill out of me' (in a manner of speaking) -- and that's what I'm giving 'free rein', here...
Let the Proceedings begin...!
"The Court calls qn4bx9pzg8aifd to the Stand..."
"Please tell the Court what the origin of your username is..."
> "Well... it involves alphanumeric characters which were typed in sequence..."
"Your Honor, permission to treat the witness as 'hostile'... and a wisea*s... the witness's testimony is critical to these proceedings, and further delay is unwarranted, cannot be condoned, and should be considered grounds for Contempt..."
"I repeat... please tell the Court what the origin of your username is..."
> "Well... I've always wanted to learn how to play piano..."
"Relevance, Your Honor...?"
"Counselor, are you directing a Relevance Objection 'at' your Witness? That's now how this works!"
> "...if I may be allowed to continue...?"
(...nodded-head -based authorization granted...)
> "I've always wanted to learn to play piano... and as it turns out, when I went to create a username on MFP, I spontaneously decided -- and in conjunction with a playful impulse -- to pretend I knew how to play some sort of complicated piano piece, and involving a piano whose keys happened to exist in a special 4-row configuration/layout... and thus... and in order to 'capture' the character string in question... I type-piano-'played' my stunningly brief 'song', and then wrote down the 'notes', on a seemingly-foreign-to-the-modern-era object known as a piece of paper... all while noting that the finger movements associated with my 'type-playing' resembled more of a court stenographer's form of 'typing', and that one might think I were a Vulcan trying to repeatedly re-establish and ultimately 'find' the 'right' 'finger positioning' for actioning a Vulcan MindMeld, albeit with/'for' a computer..."
"Do you know how ridiculous that sounds...?"
> "Yes, Counselor, I do..."
"It looks like an encryption sequence... or as though someone's fingers weren't positioned 'correctly' on 'home row'... you're telling me that it's the result of fake piano playing...?"
> "I am... and believe me when I say that I'm as embarrassed by the reality as you are stupified by it..."
"OMG..."
"And with that... Court is Adjourned..."
Works for me! Thanks for the explanation.0 -

I tried this with the first cat I had. She was always trying to get outside so I thought I would take her for a walk. Bought a harness and a leash. I carried her outside and set her on the ground and gently tried to walk. We didn't move. She planted herself and refused to budge. She was totally confused by this leash concept. After a few minutes I picked her back up and carried her back inside never to try again. Harness and leash went in a drawer until I eventually threw them out.0 -

You never tied two cans together with a string to make a "telephone" when you were a kid? That's what I think of when I see his username.
I wasn't parsing his name correctly. I didn't "see" it at first as tin can on a string. Then one day it just hit me and I got it. 0 -

Today, I hid the deodorant, when he asked where it was, I said, "It's gone".
Oh, I'm judging this! Men should NOT wear women's deodorant.
I always found men's deodorant is better than women's anyway! Why would he want to smell like a girl?0 -

When my cat follows me around the kitchen meowing I sometimes imagine she is telling me about the burglar who comes every day and steals her poop. It is kind of like she is panicking and trying to warn me. Look, look! Don't you notice it is missing again?!0

I confess I have just been honest about the small weight gain from easter indulgence and updated my correct weight into mfp. Blah. On the plus side it gave me slightly more calories. But not enough to get excited about. But just, blah. Dammit. I'm on it though, back on the horse.0

I feel like a loser because I don't ever really have any GOOD confessions for this oh, so worthy thread, but here goes.
Confession 1: I packed an awesome lunch today and wanted to devour it before 11 this morning. I don't take lunch until 1. I managed to make it until noon, but now I'm sad because my food is over. I often get sad when my food is over.
Confession 2: I totally had Dr. Pepper last night with my Auntie Anne's pretzel bites and didn't log it. Oops.
My youngest (8) has a bad habit of taking bites out of her lunch why she packs it. The school policy is no junk food (crisps/chips, chocolate, cookies/biscuits) so it's not like it's something sweet. Came down stairs yesterday and she had half her sandwich gone. This was after her breakfast.
Errrrr, what?! How is that even enforced and why? I'm all for encouraging healthy habits, but this seems a bit extreme.
I don't have kids but it bothers me that schools try to dictate what parents can and can't feed their children. I get the "peanut free" for allergies, but if someone wants to include a few chips in their child's lunch, they should be able to do that.
Actually the no nut bothers me more. Because it is not like my child is going to force feed her Peanut butter sandwich to someone else. Sorry just a rant. My child was picky and peanut butter was her thing. And no the child only had allergies if she ate nuts not contact. When they get to secondary school policies change and most kids leave campus for lunch.
I understand the inconvenience of peanut bans, but when my son had a reaction to peanuts, it was terrifying. Young kids with allergies are not always able to protect themselves from cross-contamination. No one is force feeding, but imagine that your kids friend has a pb&j, then plays patty cake with your child, triggering an allergic reaction.
Yeah one of my oldest best friend can't eat nuts and I guess the family had tried something new for after dinner treat and had to make a trip to the hospital because it obviously had nuts in it. I could not imagine especially if it is extreme case and your first time. On another note my husband realized he is allergic to flax seed after getting a tight chest and trouble breathing after eating a yogurt that had mixed seeds in it. He only discovered that was what caused it when he went to eat a second one. When a child has a nut allergy they post a sign on the classroom door also they send a note home t the beginning of the year.0 -

Honestly, I'm all for that. Why, you might ask, when all foods are healthy in the context of a well-balanced diet? Because for many kids, that kind of food is ALL that their parents give them, and this way, at least they'll get ONE non-"junk" meal in their day. At least, that's my personal take on it.
I don't mind it, either. The way it works these days, kids go to lunch for 20 minutes, then recess 20 minutes, but as soon as they're done eating, they get to go to recess. Give them a lunch of a sandwich, a string cheese, some carrots and a cookie, most of them are going to eat the cookie, dump the rest, and go to recess as soon as they possibly can. Take away the cookie, they have no choice but to eat something that will last longer than recess.
Our school has a green flag so they must bring home their lunch trash for "proper" disposal (recycling, compost etc). It is nice because you know what they ate and did not eat.0 -

My great grandma always had a Siamese cat and would declaw it because it was an inside cat (I confess she probably declawed if for safety reasons….enter spare bedroom….and out of no where….. cat would be viciously attacking your feet) Anyway she would put it on a lead to take him out side when grandma would sit on the porch.0 -

Confession - Sometimes I pretend I had a bad day so my husband will rub my feet.
But is it truly pretending if it turns out (albeit after the fact) that you *would* have a bad day if he *didn't* rub your feet...?

I get grumpy when I wake up when it's time for the kids to get up and I don't get my 'me' time for breakfast and coffee.
I hate people on craigslist who just answer that they want something and just give me their phone number. Nope, I'm not calling you, sorry, not happening. I didn't give me my phone number in the ad, I do not want to talk to strangers, who are probably going to pester me to lower my price and just forget it.
My cat used to follow me when I went for a walk. Now I make sure she's inside when I go (she doesn't go out much anymore anyway).
I love my cat but when the kids are finally in bed for the day and I can get a bit of quiet, I get annoyed when she jumps on my desk meowing. Heck, I get annoyed when my husband touches me too. I want my peace and quiet after several hours with my kids.
Yeah, I'm an introvert.
