I love this but I’m also wondering what they were expecting. What’s more purple. Petunias are like so deep beautiful purple what more do you want.

I keep seeing people talking about this but no one is saying what I should do if my cat is registered with save this life. I know he is registered with them, but I have no idea what I am supposed to do to change it over to someone else.

Important! Your pet's RFID chip number might have been disconnected this week.

Is your pet chipped? They should be. Do you know who made the chip?

Pet RFID chips are so small that there's really only room on them for a serial number. When your lost pet is brought to a shelter or a vet's office, they can scan the chip, read that number, and then type it into a program that draws from a series of linked databases to find your name and phone number. That's how they find you, and tell you that Silly Lilly von Wigglesbottom has gone wandering, and she's safe and sound, and would you come get her, please?

Texas-based Save This Life, which provided chips to vets and shelters all across the US, has all at once and abruptly gone dark; their database is just gone. Their customers were not given warning and so did not know to change their registration to another company. A lot of animals have basically become anonymous now.

If you don't know what company you've been using, call your vet's office and ask what pet chip number they have on file. If the chip number starts with 991 or 900164, it's probably a Save This Life chip.

If it turns out yours is one of the affected cases, the chip itself will still be fine! There's no need to add another, or anything like that. You'll just need to transfer the number to another company, and your vet should be able to recommend the one that they like the best.

I always said that IF I got married I’d want to elope or have a small dinner party. However, last summer, my family and i stumbled upon this resort/family camp up in the mountains where it’s cabins and river floating and campfires and everything I love and they have weddings! Max fifty people, whole thing catered with like barbecue and there’s all these beautiful photos of happy couples like getting married in the river or kissing on the bridge or with their dogs. Like okay I could get down with that. That’s the only place I would even consider having something close to a traditional wedding.

Quick survey how old are you and do you care about your wedding like is it actually that serious for you

I used to volunteer at an elementary school library and there’d be books in circulation that had stamps from as early as the 70s. I thought it was so neat that over fifty years later, six year olds still wanted to check out the same book about rocks or a little story. I think it’s beautiful.

It is so neat to get really old second-hand books and find their check-out dates stamped in them. This is a book of ghost stories, and some 14 year old probably checked it out way back in the 50's, and that person would be in their 80's now.

Something about the commonplace, every-day nature of things like this makes them more special to me; like something unimportant that wasn't supposed to be casually passed on and seen 67 years later. It feels more personal somehow.
