Thanks for the new thread.
As the dog is sleeping here are some snowdrops that pop up every year in DM’s garden where we buried the dog I had as a child.

Cat tax is rescue dog tax again as Perdy cat is being difficult (as per).
Meet Chestnut. She’s only allowed short walks due to a leg/hip issue (thanks breeders 😡). Chestnut thinks short walks are bullshit.

I have some snowdrops popping up through all the weeds!

No pets and I haven't found anything whimsical, recently. I'm a tax evader!

Soothing cat pic for those frayed tempers.

A thread criticising Trump’s nonsense about DEI hires causing the D.C. crash has been hidden.
Should I be saying this? Can I @LilyMumsnet ?We’ve had no guidance.

Edited

maybe someone should report this thread to make sure it has the MN seal of approval ?

I was just coming on to mention that @cardibach .

🤔

As I posted on that thread (and the Trump one) a really good press test to see if anyone believes in this bollocks is to see if people stop flying in the US because they believe it.

It would be a shame if (for example) American Airlines had to effectively say "you know that weird guy on TV ? He was talking trash - it's still safe to fly".

Willowkins · 30/01/2025 18:42

I think maybe it would be more polite to stop mentioning anyone specific at Mumsnet.
Here's a random cat from our local big cat sanctuary

Lily was the one who said we were sailing close to the rules. I think it’s ok to ask her exactly why she thinks that.

Things are very fractious out there - staying positive is getting harder.

Different cat tax today. (Don't tell my 2 mogs there's a new thread!)

He seems to be hiding away though. That might explain it.

The crash thread is back. Some good facts being posted on it.
Cat tax today is one of my Romanian brothers being disobliging about being photographed.

Thanks for the thread @DuncinToffee . Loving all the pictures. Heres my cat tax. Rory just waking up from a dream about tuna.

I’m still tickled by the fact that our tax pics seem to irritate.

I have told my paraplegic DH that he is probably responsible for the Washington DC crash.

Trump really is a cunt, isn't he?

tobee · 30/01/2025 21:36

Can I just say some absolutely sterling work being done by posters on this thread on the Trump air crash thread. 👍
