Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

’Where will you hide, Roberts, the laws all being flat?’

If rights aren’t universal, they are privilege, not rights.

“But what about the lurkers?”

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

Never give a known liar the benefit of the doubt.

Some judge needs to shut this circus down soon.

No Kings: Americans standing in the way of bad history saying “Oh, Fuck No!”

The fundamental promise of conservatism all over the world is a return to an idealized past that never existed.

Republicans want to make it harder to vote and easier for them to cheat.

They traffic in fear. it is their only currency. if we are fearful, they are winning.

Disappointing to see gov. newsom with his finger to the wind.

You know it’s bad when the Project 2025 people have to create training videos on “How To Be Normal”.

I have other things to bitch about but those will have to wait.

Of course you can have champagne before noon. That’s why orange juice was invented.

He really is that stupid.

These are not very smart people, and things got out of hand.

It’s the corruption, stupid.

Today’s gop: why go just far enough when too far is right there?

Every reporter and pundit should have to declare if they ever vacationed with a billionaire.

When your entire life is steeped in white supremacy, equality feels like discrimination.

Today in our ongoing national embarrassment…

Imperialist aggressors must be defeated, or the whole world loses.

Let me file that under fuck it.

Let’s bury these fuckers at the polls 2 years from now.

2024 Pet Calendar – Please Find Your Pets

by WaterGirl|  November 13, 20234:30 pm| 87 Comments

This post is in: Balloon Juice, Open Threads, Pet Calendar

FacebookTweetEmail

Since both calendars were designed and ready for 2023, we are going to make the 2024 calendars using those designs, with covers updated for 2024.

Please check for your pets.   Let us know in the comments if:

  1. all is good
  2. if we need to add a heart
  3. or if you no longer want your pet in the calendar

If there is a change to be made, let us know which calendar, your pet’s name, and what change you need.

    My baby looks good!

    Whomever belongs to the pupper named Smedley: Those are some looooong legs. Maybe it’s forced perspective, but it looks like that doggo would be taller than me on all fours.

    I got 5 cats this year to put into the calendar:

    • Zoe
    • Ziggy
    • Khush
    • Luv
    • Louis/LLewellyn (french and irish!)

    and then there is:

    • Scout

    My daughter’s roommates have 2 more cats that we could add

    My ex-wife might add hers. But we should have plenty of pets for the BJ Pet Calendar!

    Can we add a pet if we’ve never been involved before? (Not sure if this is the same question as cain is asking – or if they already have some pets in there and want to add more.)​​

    @ann: @cain: @Memory Pallas:  The designs are already done, using the photos from last year.

    There didn’t seem to be much interest in adding new pets in the previous pet calendar post I put up last week.

    If there are a TON of people who want to add there pets, beth and I will talk it over and make a decision.

    So if you DO want to add someone new, go ahead and let us know in the comments, and let us know how many pets, and let us know if you have any pets already in the “2023” version.

    November 13, 2023 at 5:47 pm

    @bbleh: Since the design is basically done, they should be available soon.

    Unless we have a TON of people who want to add photos, in which case beth and I will talk.

    All three of mine, Simon, Martha and Paul, are in Calendar A, and all are still with us, so no hearts needed.  Of course, Simon is the youngest at 14, with Paul at 18 and Martha at 23(!), so you never know, but they all are healthy and we are enjoying every day with them.

    November 13, 2023 at 6:38 pm

    My pets are in calendar B, please add hearts for Chatty and Belle (both in May) and Maddie (September).

    I just sent you an email with a photo of my Miss Lucca (formerly Lucky) who came to live with me this year, in case it’s possible to add one. Mac and Casper in Calendar b are fine, though Casper has found a new home – long story.

    The calendars are great – did not mean to stir up anything. If you ever start a new design, I will add my cat.​

    WaterGirl

    November 13, 2023 at 8:16 pm

    @Lord Fartdaddy (Formerly, Mumphrey, Smedley Darlington Mingobat, et al.): No one bought the calendars last year because Cafe Press didn’t have the calendar paper at the last minute.

    A few people may have donated $10, I think, maybe that’s what you are thinking of?

    So if you want a calendar, you will have to purchase it. :-)

    Both our pets are in calendar B; Mikey the regal cat and Bella the goofball German Shepherd in her bucket. Unfortunately you will need to add a heart to Bella’s picture, we lost her in May at just over 12 years old. I will be ordering a few of them.

    November 14, 2023 at 9:51 am

    The photos of Mr. Stryper (Calendar A, page 11) and Princess of Quite A Lot (Calendar A, page 12) need hearts on them, as both cats have since crossed the rainbow bridge.

    If there is room, I could send a photo of two black cats looking down from their tower, judgmentally surveying their kingdom.

  82. 82.

    November 14, 2023 at 11:06 am

    Hi –

    All the pets that I submitted look wonderful. WaterGirl, thank you so much again for doing this. It’s such a wonderful thing to have and save, and so special to give to family members.

    The only change that I want to mention – if you have time, otherwise no big deal at all – is that on Calendar A, page 5, Angus should now have a heart. He passed away in February.

    IF there is a lot of interest in adding other pets, I have a new dog that I could add, but we can absolutely wait for the 2025 calendar when that’s ready.

  83. 83.
