As kids we use dro see who could collect all the different cicada species the black ones ,the brown ones, the green ones with red eyes, the green ones with orange spots etc. we once put a few in the desk of our elderly nun who had to have an ambulance called because the shock of the bugs flying out of her drawer made her collapse.

Hugs Lost.

I don't get panic attacks but my partner gets one's that feel just like a heart attack. They can be terrifying so it makes sense you reached out to R.

Wow, I'd love to try that but with cashew nuts instead of walnut.

The staples here are chocolate chip muffins and blueberry muffins.

Someday I'll bake my own... no access to an oven as they're uncommon in homes here. Partner however has tons of appliances and an oven haha.

Ew. Okay una, I've a phobia. I basically freeze in fear and tremble while I try to psych myself up to whack them. Can't use bug spray as I live with cats.

A friend says using a spray bottle with soapy water is a lot more effective than bug spray.

I will get the occasional flying critter in here because of the always open balcony door. I sorta go into hyperdrive! I am all flailing arms and slapping magazines until its over. One time my mother went after a fly with a feather duster, and my SIL and nephew said, "What are you going to do, fluff him to death?!"

Made me laugh, thank you. Couch 228--The Wellness Couch (sorry, I'm having a really bad day.)

Where I live, little geckos will eat flies but my friend is terrified of them.

The allergy season just keeps on this year. I just sneezed and the cat who was in my lap huffed off like I deliberately ruined his nap

Oh, no. Poor cat.

R's cat requested her attention in the final few minutes of my session today, and started purring whilst her human and I were doing breathing exercises.

That was a bonus.


Just now I found out that

Possible trigger:


I'm trying to sit with it, but I'm not doing well, so I'm eating chocolate instead.

Just realised that 'R's cat requested her attention' might sound a bit weird - I meant that she was scratching at the door.

I think "requested her attention" sounds just like a cat. Unless they are "demanding her attention" which also sounds like a cat.


Amelia who is indoor/outdoor will come in from outside and meow. We will talk to her (if it isn't feeding time, if it is feeding time we go and feed her of course) but she just likes to know where we are in the house and then she comes sauntering in to the living room or wherever and gets up on something high. But she definitely requests our attention when she comes in from outside. Thankfully she doesn't do it at night when we are all sleeping. She has a meow like a Siamese although she is part Snowshoe mix. I just lucked out. She's a rescue. From what I understand--and I could have this wrong--a Snowshoe is related to a Siamese. I would love a Siamese cat but unless I can get one at the shelter it isn't happening.

Good minions allow no bodily function to supersede the needs of a cat.

Lost, I knew exactly what your phrase meant. Didn’t sound weird at all.
