So labia, then? Or vulva, maybe. Unless that camera is an internal one, they're likely not seeing any vaginas.

Large one-topping pizzas are only $7.99 if you order on the Domino's website with their coupon, which is usually located on the home page. Make sure you click "see all coupons" if prompted, because they bury some of them.

I once had a problem picking up an order I'd made online that never went through. They tried to resubmit the order themselves in-store so they could make the pizza on the spot, but the total was almost twice as much without the online coupons. I had to place my online order in the store since they couldn't access those deals themselves.

Bonus, though, is that you can get the extra large "Brooklyn style" for only $10 (instead of $15+ regular price) by up-sizing that $7.99 large pizza for $2 more when you check out.

Source: am kinda poor in a rural area where Domino's is about the best you can get, and buying in bulk is the cheapest way to go.

My vote is on past trauma involving men. I know a cat dad whose 3 feline kids adore him, and I've had my cats be friendly to anyone who respects their space, regardless of gender. I've never seen them have a common predisposition to fear men.

Any colander/pasta strainer with round holes works wonders for this. One hundred little eclipses cast on the ground--it's like a free pinhole camera!

This right here. More poignantly perhaps since the Boomers (not everyone in that age group, obviously) ruined Gen X lives first, before they destroyed the futures of subsequent generations, so we've been watching this dumpster fire for decades and warning about how bad it could become.

What might be unique to X-ers is that we witnessed the social fabric in the U.S. falling apart in the 80's under Reagan--when the likelihood of a blue-collar worker having a solid career at a good company for life, supporting a family on one income, and being able to retire without living in poverty went from being a common thing to more of a lost dream.

So yes, to be lumped in with the same generation that pulled the rug out from under us is adding insult to injury.

Generation X forgotten once again. Whatever.

(It was kind of expected at the time that the Millennials would be named Generation Y because they followed us, but that name never took hold. So they skipped Y and went straight on to Z, then continued with A.)

Or as we call it in the Southern U.S., "Summer Lite," where the daily high temps are finally at or below 90°F a good bit of the time. We keep getting teasers of autumn, but it'll be a week or two depending on where you live. The heat index in Houston looks to be 105°F today, so autumn is still a little ways off. Ouch.

Beat me to it. I complain loudly and frequently to anyone who will listen.

Such beautiful eyes. Great photo.

You could post (good old-fashioned) flyers around the most visible public places nearby (public library, grocery store, hardware/home center, church, etc.), advertising your IT skills.
Rural folks I know appreciate someone nearby who has even basic IT skills, saving them a trip into the city to a big box store that would charge them an arm and a leg to diagnose and fix the simplest issue.
If you charge less than they do and are conveniently closer, you could have a decent part-time source of income. Not sure how rural you are, how tech-saavy your neighbors may be, or whether you're hoping to make a bigger shift career-wise, but it's an option that has worked pretty well in my rural area.

Did you perhaps intend to post this to Seriously Horrifying? I'd be scurrying down the center of the street, holding my breath for fear of inhaling the plant oils. Yikes.
