Update for Everyone V: Born Under A Bad Sign

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

OK, I've put my Polish writing project on hold, due to running out of ideas, and started writing the continuation of my novel in English novel, which, as I've mentioned, will be out somewhere around. March (the first volume that is, since they decided to split it in two.) Working goes fine.

Also, it's snowing beautifully:

Most of the data I have are because I split it up into 10-page blocks:

Don't you have better things to do?

Just be nice and assume he does.

It was nice. For me at least.

That's pretty cool, I'm looking forward to reading it. I probably won't be able to actually buy the book for at least a year though.

It'll be both on the paper and as an ebook.

Yikes, I was first in the first 10 pages? I have no idea what I had so much to say about.

We need help, Tony.

I just came back inside from burying my dad's sick cat who died today. The very day after my dad's funeral. This has been quite the weekend. But, to quote Robert Frost, "In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on."

My sympathies, man. I know how it is to bury a parent. Been eleven and a half year since that, I just realized.

My best friend, who is a lesbian (or says she is), is now dating a friend of mine (a guy), who apparently broke up with another female friend of mine, because she wanted to be with someone else. Ugh.

What is the problem here?

It's just really strange feeling, she changed her sexuality, etc. and I have to deal with the relationship's consequences.

Yeah, it is her lifestyle choice.

Like being a dork is yours?

Name a single person on this website who isn't guilty of that.

Impossible. We all made this choice.

After writing 85 pages I got stuck and decided to review what I wrote so far.

You have a... peculiar mind.

Time for something that's actually important. My piggies are clean again

Carolina's great!

I've been considering getting guinea pigs. How do they do in smaller houses?

They do just fine, but having a large cage is optimal, especially if you get them in pairs or triplets, which they tend to be happier in as opposed to being alone.

It's better to get at least two. Guinea pigs needs a company. When one of my previous passed, I quickly got a second one so the remaining fellow (white-black-red) won't be alone.

Smaller houses are not a problem. Guinea pigs doesn't just roam around like cats, dogs or even rabbits, they need a cage and preferably, a small home, just like they need a safe spot in the wild. Just remember about letting them out frequently to run and play, but keep an eye on them. Be especially careful about things like cables.

Obviously, it's preferable to have pigs of the same sex or, if of diffrent sexes, at least one neutered/sterilized. Otherwise they'll multiply fast as hell. I mean like proverbial rabbits.

Is the smell an issue?

I've never had a problem with it, so long as you clean their cage about once a week you should be fine.

Yeah, basically this. It occasionally got annoying when I had guinea pigs when I was younger, but it wasn't nearly as bad as with, say, ferrets. Just clean the cage regularly and burn some incense or something if for whatever reason you find yourself noticing it more than usual.

In general they're delightful pets and I'd recommend them to anyone.

Just don't be surprised they can get quite active at night. They are mostly active at nighttime in the wild for obvious security reasons.

Sometimes it appears like they don't sleep at all, with their eyes open, but they do.

Don't really want to dampen the mood of this thread, but my grandmother died last Thursday and my whole family is in shock. It really sucks, she was in great health and everything.

I'm sorry, man. Take care.

Lonliness hurts.

I've been lonely for 28 and a half year so I'm not particulary impressed.

Regretting all of my life decisions, as usual.

Same.

Yep!

I sent my first proposal for a potential topic to an upcoming academic conference - I doubt it will go anywhere, but there's no loss in at least trying. It would be very exciting if I somehow made it, but I don't have any expectations. My proposed topic is "Political Polarization in Colombia since 2012"

Good luck!

Proud to say that I have never used drugs in my life and never will to the day I die.  The same is true for alcohol.

Are you a virgin too?
