Wow she (I guess, the one further down) is a total beauty. Dat face.

The cool thing about the winding technique I use is that I only have to secure the rope at the very ends with a few screws. The rest will hold up for years upon years as it is 1cm thick sisal where one winding sits tightly on the next. The pole here took me about 90 minutes to wind. It’s totally worth it. It is basically an endless “Mastwurf” or more precisely a Mastwurf with hundreds of “Halbschläge” https://thwiki.org/t=Mastwurf Back when I was still active I was the go-to person for knots in my local THW (federal agency for technical relief, a large german disaster control agency)

Aww thanks. Have a minute of her purring as a treat yourself

Not really. Lilly is still his best motivator

Yeah Miez is the perfect companion. She knows exactly how I feel all the time and takes advantage of all the cuddles.

Thank you very much. I am feeling a bit better, well enough to WFH since yesterday.

He either play-fights with Lilly (hard) or just basically lays down and lets you entertain him. He has always been an indoor cat, and his hunting skills are basically zero. He and Lilly are allowed in the garden but only Lilly catches mice from time to time.

I feel you. I was really lucky that I could give two of my cats to a friends family when I had to separate them. In between I had to give up all of my cats due to my health issues. It distroyed me, it tore such a big hole in me. Luckily I got to take Miez back after my health improved. I thought she was in good hands, but I was dead wrong. When the elderly woman that took her in had a broken leg (complicated bone fracture, took several months to heal) she starten smoking on the couch right next to Miez, and now Miez is asthmatic.

My brother in law never sneezes once. He always sneezes at least three times.

I don’t think he’s bitter towards Miez. Regularly he tested my limits as well and I had make it unmistakably clear that I don’t tolerate rule expandings. He just thinks he can get away with bad behaviour towards Miez as she is weaker than her. Lilly on the other hand doesn’t give a shit and just counter-attacks. To be frank, Koda is a real bitch. He just needs a lot of cuddles which is the only reason he behaves well from time to time.

What does it matter to Russia/any other country if their fall guy falls? The damage is done and they still have plausible deniability.

No I do not. A company can tell Schufa something bad about any private person. Without their knowledge.

Sure, it’s totally OK that a business like SchuFa has your data and if you happen to have a business it’s totally ok for them to blackmail you. It’s also totally ok that they don’t notify you if any business reports something negative to them about you. Schufa is totally ok and not shitty and predatory at all.

My brother in law has a business. That’s how I know this. But you’re just disagreeing out of principle, so you’re immune to facts. Do go on and talk out of your ass and be the ignorant person you strive to be.

You have not read my comment at all, have you? Not giving them your business data reaults in the lowest score. That’s blackmail.

Schufa basically blackmails you into giving you their data: Not giving them access to ALL your data WILL result in the lowest possible score for your business, which has huge implications in regards to any credit.

Oh yeah. He has been a healer for Lilly. She was a really scared kitty when I added her to my family, even hurting herself due to a nervous issue. She would hiss at everyone and hide all the time. Guess she was very impressed by him nonchalantly walking past her. After a few weeks she began strolling after him and finally went to full cuddle mode, see the last pics in this album: https://imgur.com/gallery/WLP5OXS

Oh yeah. Last time Koda and Miez saw each other, they had not seen each other for over a year. Miez was interested and sniffling, approaching him. What did the idiot do? BAMM slapped her right in the face.

Miez is always trying to get as far away from him as possible. Koda on the other hand has always been bitchy. Lilly somehow got really hardened and doesn’t give a shit, and constantly stirs shit with him.

He always behaves like a total dick towards her.
