Friday EEK!ving Open Thread
Fur Face Friday
Welcome to Fur Face Friday, it's New Year's Eve and I can't think of anyone I'd rather spend it with than you animals. Here at FFF headquarters, the champagne is chilling, and the caterer is setting up the horse d'oeuvres and catnapes.
Friday 2021 Goodbye-day Morning Open Thread
Morning, all.
Very last day of 2021 and aren't we glad to be done? Not that done is a thing like poof, wave yer paws, all gone. But still - what are the things you would like most to see happen next year? Any good hopes for things that might not suck? Any stuff in particular you would like to see join this year on the flaming trash pile of life?

Blaurgh!Talk, Last 2021 Edition
Thursday Morning Open Thread!
Good Morning All! Hoping today ends up being my Friday, got to see how the new installs go today before I know for sure.
Anybody else looking forward to a long weekend? Maybe got some NYE plans? It looks to be cold and potentially icy to ring in the New Year here, so I'm probably home bound.
Have at it below.

Monday Is No Fun Day, An Open Thread In The Dark
| Maestro dei Cassoni Campana - Theseus and Minotaur. 1510 - 1515 Try climbing out of the maze, you dolt. |
Last Monday of 2021. How did today go? Didja have to work? Stay home and veg? Let us know.
Sometimes, we all could use a little help out of a jam. Sometimes that jam lasts an entire year or longer. I think about Ariadne a lot when I think of the helpers, and how regularly they are tossed aside by the Theseuses of the world. Perseus, Odysseus, Jason, etc. The stories in Greek myth are strewn with discarded women's bodies. Maybe Circe and Medea had the right idea.
Get in the groove
It’s time to ponder a new theme & learn more about how others view the world. Let’s get this discussion going!

The Photo Gallery
It’s your weekly Photo Gallery! Come on in, take a look at what people have been up to over the past week and share some of your own photos.
They don’t need to be taken with a fancy camera or works of art. Share any SFW photos you’ve taken with even the poorest of potatoes. Of course we love to see that arty stuff too.

Blaurgh!Talk Has Been Cancelled!
Just kidding. You all need a midday Blaurgh! to talk about having to do what you hate to do. You know what? I hate doing things too, but you don't hear me complaining.
Thursday Morning Open Thread!
Good Morning. I've got nothing cool to report because I spent most of the night playing Gran Turismo Sport. I did use the games photo tool to make the lead photo, so there was some productivity going on.

Twas the Monday Before Life Day OT: Favorite Childhood Toys
Monday Morning Open Thread
Morning, all. It's Xmas week and I feel like by the end of it, everybody's gonna be on one list or another. What with last-minute shopping, cold weather making people foolish, and just general holly jolly distractions, we could all use a few magic reindeer to get us safely along. What are your plans for this week? Are you lying low, or will you be out in the fray?

Sunday morning OT
Morning everyone, I hope nobody minds me posting today’s OT but I thought I’d go for it as there wasn’t one and I’m very nervous about my first OT as I’m not sure what I’m doing . How do you add a pic or gif ?
Ok here goes , pressing publish and wait to see the disaster.
