A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can't be evil, and she's absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.

Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I'll offer to let them pet the other dog who's normal, but fuck that kid, you don't get to pet any dog today.

I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it's cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.

I'm also going to need some elbow room in case I need to dodge anything.

Ok but the boardroom is upstairs and there's no elevator.

Take my dog for a car ride without puking. She's an anxious mess, nobody stands a chance!

My eyesight is atrocious. One time I was out in a notable windstorm, I stumbled, and my glasses got ripped off my face. I would have been absolutely fuckered if I'd been alone. They'd gotten blown under a car and I never would have found them by myself.

I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.

Green tea shouldn't really be strong, you're probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I'm after something light (or if I'm out of milk, which I need for black tea).

Nope, dating someone who could possibly be my reincarnated partner is too much. It's just inviting paranormal hijinks into my life and I don't need that.

I've been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn't even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.

I'm not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it's documented, so it's just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.

Plus I don't have to wear pants.

The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I'm around all the time.

I used to use Sync for the other site, but despite all the hype for Sync for lemmy I don't feel the need to try it when Connect meets all my needs.

I've seen people using other apps wishing that their app had this feature or that feature. Well Connect already has that built in! Spread the good word, lemmings!
