When young Ian starts doing baby talk vocalizations, Ian starts striking up conversations with him in Welsh. He brings Dermot in to add some Irish to the conversation.
A baby very excitedly making noise, and two grown having genuine conversations.
They're both idiots.
Pure-hearted idiots.
And a baby.

Ian: Since Martha's teething and trying to destroy my lovely, 1970s furniture...
Kazuo: Crappy 1970s furniture.
Ian: I got bitter apple spray.
Kazuo: I wonder if it works...we gotta test it.
Ian: On the only one with a stomach stronger than a puppy?
Kazuo: Gav, get over here, ya queer. Taste this.
Gav: Yeah? Wow, that’s...that's good, what is it?
Ian: Bitter apple spray for dogs.
Gav: Yeah, I'm taking that for salads. Yoink.
Kazuo: .....We're doomed. If he likes it, that dog's gonna eat everything.

I think it was a coyote that raided my feeder
It's attached to the window, about 5 1/2 feet off the ground, the tray slides in an out easily for refilling
It had a mix of seed, fruit, nuts, and mini dog biscuits
The tray was in the dirt, no food left
The only other things I could think would do it would be deer - and deer are weirdos, or a neighbor's large, loose dog - also possible, I have a lot of asshole neighbors
I refilled it, see if it's been taken in the morning
The other option is several raccoons standing on one another's shoulders
I don't think a possum could get to this
We have ringtails and they're little freaks, but I don't think this was one

It doesn't matter how much pain I'm in, I see an elderly or infirm person that needs help, my service dog gene kicks in and I have to at least ask if they'd like help
Usually it's a yes

My car is 3 years old and has pissed me off so much I WANT someone to hit it
Oh noooo don't hit my little Hyundai that can be stolen with a USB (even after the fix) and that Hyundai tried to tell me wasn't under warranty after rodents ate the delicious soy wiring
Hit me
Please
This is the third evil car in a row that I've owned
And I've only owned 3 cars

It'd be easier to make money if Etsy weren't so bullshit about listing fees and releasing funds. I might try the ko-fi shop, I'm gonna cast some small resin pieces this weekend.
I'm gonna see if I can go to urgent care again once I get my CareCredit card, but I still need funds, because they'll probably shunt me over to the nearest ER, and my ER copay is $500. Because American healthcare.

Most of my outdoor childhood time was spent trying to Crocodile Hunter the local fauna, or climbing uncomfortably high in trees. I also usually had some part of me stitched up.
I was a menace.
Like Tarzan, but without the godawful Phil Collins.

Not even any macaroni
Just an empty box

Our neighbors in Houston had a pot-bellied pig that would do prison breaks, and I'd try to lure him to my house
My motivations are unclear
War steed?
Bacon?

The toad bucket thing is something I used to do in Houston, just take a big bucket, walk neighborhood, acquire toads
I never set them loose inside, though
I'd upend the bucket and then sit among my warty subjects
King of the toads

Something carefully removed the feed tray from my bird feeder (around 5 1/2 off the ground), and ate the entire contents.
????
Least they left the tray

Ian: Anders? We need to talk about your child.
Anders: Oh. Oh no. What horribly toddler thing did he do?
Kazuo: It was really him...and our Disney Princess.
Anders: I'm afraid.
Ian: Yeah, so Gav took him out for a walk.
Kazuo: With a bucket.
Anders, quietly: Shit, that can't be good.
Kazuo: Damn right it's not good.
Anders: Before I find out, let me apologize. What absolute havoc...
Ian: They collected toads. A lot of toads. I'm surprised there are this many toads in the area. Gav brought the bucket inside for some INSANE REASON...
Gav: I'M SORRY.
Kazuo: KEEP LOOKING. Yeah, your child upended the bucket and now we're experiencing one of the plagues of Egypt.
Anders: Oh god. Where is....NO! IAN! DON'T BRING THEM INSIDE AGAIN!
Ian: So, this has been a whole ordeal.
