My Kiva use to be a heckin' chonk and I thought that was just how she was. Then we moved into a place with stairs and she shed the weight so fast I thought she might be sick.

Nope. Now she is a healthy boi and happy as a clam to be getting such good exercise.

Any of these talented af artists here got an instagram that I can follow?

I'm old and I just signed up for my first ig account, and I'm learning how to use it but I want to follow artists and nerds I like and would be prone to interacting with and fangirling over. ie @Crawfish.

Just note... I am not asking for personal accounts to be exposed in public. Please don't give our personal stuff in public forums! But if if you WANT me to follow your personal thing just DM me. I'd be happy to.

I love this chart so much.

Out of my two cats, I would say one of them definitely falls into the 'Heckin' Chonker' category.

But I'm also fairly certain it was because he's a reformed street cat and all that 'chonk' is really just muscle.

Too Old For This

One of my elder cats was a Heckin' Chonker for awhile. He's now down to A Fine Boi... but with a paunch from his Chonker days. XD Old kitties are fun.

Made a pea gravel sandbox for the kids because I was tired of the 4 year old going I'm booored despite a bajillion things. So I got dog eared pickets, spent three days cutting down 2x4's by hand because my table saw and mitre saw got stolen and I never replaced them. Then the kids marked the spots for screws, handed me screws, we assembled it with no plan, and then filled with pea gravel.

I am done being crafty. For today.

I still have to paint it, re-mulch around it and probably some planters because derecho damage killed everything. But I am pleased! $135 bucks all said and done after I account for another 10-15 bags of pea gravel to really fill it up. 1 hour of work.

Same. Same. You can literally say "oh lawd, he comin" to me at any moment, on any day, utterly without context and I will burst out laughing.

I too have been working on the house and can appreciate the pea gravel sandbox.

My retaining wall has used much of the pea.

@jibberthehut we have an area that has been graveled and the kids use it even if it's not in a box but now none of the outdoor furniture has a level surface.

@crawfish I have pea gravel in the garden beds but they just keep digging and it's like noooo. Stop killing my lily garden!!!!!

So I went googling. Apparently play-sand for sandboxes comes with a warning on the bag that... it's not actually meant to be played in. And then my cats will use it as a litterbox. So I opted for pea gravel. If I ever have to dissemble it, I can freshen up my garden beds.

But hauling those bags ugh.
