Oh yep that was one of the main reasons I started doing it @tyme A couple of years ago I fostered an adult cat… fell in love and adopted him. I said no more adopting and had a big break… mostly cause my mh was so unstable and I couldn’t commit. But always wanted to give fostering some lil kittens a try. This litter came up a few weeks ago and it was still the holidays too, told the lady don’t let me adopt any though! So yeah it is nice. Their snuggles are nice, especially when they sleep on your chest.
puppies would be hard. They would get hard to contain. I have my kittens in an enclosed playpen.
wanted to ask and perhaps you don’t know, but when the ummm what was it called… co design thingy, there was mention of like private space? Like a journal diary type thing that selected mods could read? I was just talking with @Jynx briefly how I really miss the sane chat line. Somewhere to say something that I need to get out but can’t say the words and not for all eyes. If that makes sense? (Previous couple of posts) I think we talked about it briefly and maybe arra was trialing something?

Hey @Bow ,
I totally agree about the fostering! Good on you! And for letting her know that you are NOT going adopt them 🙂
As for the private space thing, we've run into a lot of logistics which means we cannot have them. There are quite a few reasons why we can't. But I totally agree what you are saying that it would be nice to journal something.
I know members who have a blog outside the forums, but I guess that's different because there's no one to interact with.
But if anything comes up, I've got you and a few others in mind. As for the chat, I know they were trialling the new chat function. I'm going to chase that up again and I'll get back to you about that as soon as i have more info.

Mum keeps asking me though @tyme cause I do have a favorite! But I keep reassuring her that I will not be adopting any.
that’s a shame the private spaces thing didn’t work out. I’m sure there are lots of logistics but it’s good that you have it a try.
id greatly appreciate an update on where chat is at. I found sane chat so helpful and so very different to the other 2 main chat providers.

@Snowiemy dear friend I’m gonna miss you! But you’ll have the most amazing time! If you get to Disneyland go on the tea cups for me!

Awww thanks @Bow I'm going to miss you too and our chats.
I have put my phone on international roaming so at least I can still contact the kids/mum and they can contact us in case something goes wrong. Hopefully everything goes ok, but mum losing her license on the day we fly out has made it more difficult.
If I go to Disneyland the first person I am going to think of is you hon. Will defiantly ride the tea cups!! Oh and buy a snow globe.

I had another dozzy of an appointments day today. Really didn’t wanna go to my psych appointment. I was terrified about having to talk about thing that I didn’t wanna talk about. Things that were hard to talk about.
fark why do I even write this BS?? No one cares. We talked about stuff. I disappeared dissociated. And it keeps happening now at home. I’m terrified I am loosing control.

Oh no @Bow!! Do you need the cavalry to come to the rescue? Teehee I wonder what they'd look like. A whole army of kittens maybe? That would definitely save me!!
Happy to sit with ya hun. Anything else I could do to support you at the moment?
