Kit's Kitty Korner [pride month]

[galled]

Ooo, I found a good one! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qs63Zuwrgis

Learned something new today!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Something you never would've thought about either

[galled]

Yep, never thought about it. Kinda negligent really since we're surrounded by plastic bottles and containers all of the time. (I am concerned about micro-plastics these days.)

I remember watching Mr. Rogers on PBS he would run videos of how common things were made (factory footage). Totally fascinating!

[Kitalpha Hart]

And then there's shows like How It's Made that's nothing but stuff like that

Ayo is pride month

I am somehow lacking in pride items
And rainbow items but tbf I prefer to show off the aro and ace flags. Yes there is a flag for aroace but I prefer the separate flags cuz both have my favorite colors (green n purple) while the combo flag does not

[galled]

Don't know these: ayo, aro, and ace (aroace).

I'm surprised you don't have these things in your magic bag to pull out at the precise moment. I suppose the kitchen sink covers everything.

[Kitalpha Hart]

I don't have an aro flag but I do have an ace one that's over the small square of space that serves as the bedroom closet

Ayo is a sound. Sounds like heyyo but without the h
Aro is aromantic
Aroace is aromantic and asexual

[galled]

I see!

The fire issues at work sorted?

[Kitalpha Hart]

Didn't hear anything about fires last week so imma assume so

I need to weed my sidewalk

[Lemon Cheesecake]

good luck! I used the weedwacker a few months ago & my arms had that vibrating feeling like an hour.

I ended up using a shovel like a hoe to clear one of my walkways to get rid of the weed stalks.

There is a certain weed shaped like a corkscrew that just digs through my clothes into my skin. And then a grass seed that feels like a spear poking in my socks.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Yeah i don't have one and with the back sidewalk weeds being up against the porch and the front sidewalk weeds having tulips mixed in them, weedwhacker isn't a good idea

[Lemon Cheesecake]

Oh I love tulips! But unfortunately so do the gophers, so I can't grow them in the ground, I have to grow them in pots. what color are your tulips? I have red.

I bet you could dig up the tulip bulbs & transplant them into a little garden area along the sidewalk, would be so pretty for next year. Add daffodil bulbs (gophers hate them) and a few other purple flowered bulbs. Just be careful because I think Hyacinths may be toxic to some animals.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Don't have gophers here
They're blue and white? I think? They've been overdue for the bulbs to be dug up and scattered for several years now so I don't remember off the top of my head

Curious
First shift supervisor is growing out his hair. Man has CURLS
So is lead, though because of his hat/rag it's a bit harder to tell
So cuz once again a mandate, at work. Rip
Asked my lead why all the pretty boys are growing out their hair. He didn't catch what I had said so I asked a second time
By how he asked "who" I'm pretty sure he was expecting the setup for a joke or something. Instead I said "you n [supervisor]"
By how all he got out for a second was a speechless "gkt" sound, it took him a second to process and give an answer. He ended up telling me that he used to have really long hair. As in down to his ass long
But later I asked him to help with the one machine cuz it was being stupid no one likes it except for the people who don't do any of the actual work but he wanted to leave so he paged for someone from tool room
He hung up, made a comment about beibg ready to get the fuck out, and had a glorious ohshit face as his not-properly-hung-up phone caught and broadcasted that. A coworker and I lost our shit after the phone was properly hung up and I did point out that at least he didn't do that when everyone was in (ie everyone comes in mandate, not just my area). He scootled out right quick after, so no idea if his face was red or not. Plus i was something like 20 feet away when that happened so would've been hard to tell anyway

So an extremely entertaining beginning of shift, at least

[Lemon Cheesecake]

At least your day was off to a roaring of laughter start ... wonder how he will be tomorrow...probably hope no one mentions it
