My sister keeps the litter box up near the kitchen and her kitchen always smells of cat pee to me, but since she's the older sister and has the nicer, bigger, cleaner house (and she doesn't take criticism well), I have never mentioned it. It would just lead to a nasty comment about some failing of mine, and I don't want to start it.
Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Also, if they throw the dirty cat litter in a bin and don't take it outside, that will stink things up pretty badly.
That causes the worst cat-pee stink. I may be a bad housekeeper, but that's one thing I always do: take the bag of dirty litter outside immediately, even if just gets to the porch and not all the way to the bin. I had a petsitter once who left a week's worth of dirty litter in the trash can in the kitchen. Man, the house reeked when I got home.
eta: not judging or anything, that's like, literally the one thing I always do.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Happy Solstice, everyone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
YAY SUMMER.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The 24 Words That Are Most Known To Only Men Or Women
Mark Brysbaert of the Center for Reading Research conducted a study of the English words most commonly understood specifically be either men or women.
Here is my attempt to use the 12 most common words most understood by men rather than women:
The paladin checked his encryption codecs and the firing solenoids for his dreadnought's mach 2.5 shells as he watched his biped golems pack their kevlar-armored humvees with claymores and hone their scimitars before they set out to fight bolshevism.
So, all tech or military terms.
And here are the words that women recognize, but men generally don't:
(The numbers represent the percentages of men and women who understand them.)
- taffeta (48, 87)
- tresses (61, 93)
- bottlebrush (58, 89)
- flouncy (55, 86)
- mascarpone (60, 90)
- decoupage (56, 86)
- progesterone (63, 92)
- wisteria (61, 89)
- taupe (66, 93)
- flouncing (67, 94)
- peony (70, 96)
- bodice (71, 96)

I appear to be bi-vocabularish. I wonder if there's a Facebook gender assignment for that....

Because books.
My whole takeaway from that is, "Taffetta, darling."
