I'm thinking about, when I get a place to live where I can keep one (probably not until college is over) of getting a prairie dog.

Having just one sole prairie dog might not be good for its mental health. They are extraordinarily social animals. Maybe have two or three?

From what I've been reading and what an acquaintance who owns one says, they actually do fine living alone as long as you spend enough time with them. They do especially well in homes where more than one person lives. The acquaintance lives alone, but his is happy and healthy at around 6 years of age. (He got his right after they lifted the ban on selling them as pets during the monkey-pox outbreak) Its mostly a matter of the pet being somewhere they can see lots of activity, and being played with when you are home, even if all that means is letting the thing sit on your lap while you watch TV or something.

Here is a word for ya:

Heterochromia.

I asked the writer of Minions if Bob's different eye colors were a nod to Rabbids. He was unaware that Minions vs. Rabbids was a "thing". Here's where things get interesting:

Bob's eyes are actually based on David Bowie's eyes.

So if you have a kid who loves the Minions you can explain that Bob's eyes are based on David Bowie, and then explain who David Bowie is.

is there something wrong with the racketboy website?

Today at work I couldn't get my fix. No racketboy on my mobile phone all day!

The same thing happened off and on for the last few days but now it was an all day thing.

I thought it was simply my phone. But I'm typing this on my laptop and the site seems to be working just fine.

The site doesn't work on my tablet either! I just tried it right now. and I get the some error codes.

Or maybe its just my side of the world? But I dont know I've been using both the US and Mexican internet.

Wont you please fix this oh mighty mods?

You are not the only one. I tried accessing the site today on my mobile phone and it didn't work, but worked just fine on my PC. Must be a mobile thing.

Its something on the mobile end, I have been able to get it on my phone for about 2 days.

any here was old enough to be an adult in mid/late-90s?
I wonder what adults did with their time back then. Today everyone is stuck on the internet either through a smartphone, laptop, or even Netflix. I asked a friend what do you do with family time? He said everyone is busy with their smartphone.

I was 18 in 1997, so I spent the last few years of that decade as an adult.

What did I do with my personal free alone time back then?

I played single player video games. I watched anime series. I messed around on the internet.

Pretty much the same things I do now.

You bought them on VHS or you used to rent them?
Which anime was popular back then?
