"B101" is back! After a 5-year run as "More FM", the station is back to the name they used the 20 years before that. The new owners realized people in the area still called it "B101" after the name change

We actually had our rabbit cremated and have his ashes in a box on our cool stuff ledge.

I think this is a great idea and it's probably what I'll do when my dog dies (ugh, hate to even think of that day).

Sorry for your loss, Bucky.

I had my one cat cremated in July. Only because it died at my friends vet hospital in Norfolk and I couldn't get down there when it happened. I think when my other cat dies, which will probably be in the next year, I'll just just bury her and the ashes together.

This is the way to do it. Sadly, we have a whole shelf next to our family room TV that has boxes of ashes along with some kind of memento of each dog.
Fine. You wanna act like you're two? I'll act like I'm one.

yeah, the cats that have died in the hospital have been cremated. This is the third one that's died at home and they're all back in our little pet semetary. I was hoping my wife would want to take it to be cremated but no such luck.

by definition of the word yes, but what we got here is more archaic than that imo. More intimate, like a club

I think it's up to you to decide the stream of content you need to zap to your brain and where to find it, merging the digital and the organic. I go through intervals logging on and off, and right now i'm currently off. On one hand, it's not rotting energy off me, but on the other hand, I'm not reaping its inspirations. So I have to look elsewhere, you could interact more with ppl irl, cultivate something original for yourself, or find ways to share and gain here. I used to post my thoughts on bsg about videogames and movies a lot in the past, and I'd kinda like to do that more to fill any unfulfilled interactive voids I have. Social media isn't a negative game, it usually just comes down to user error, and we're all too flawed to keep playing. There's a comfortable balance in all things though. hope you find some peace

No. Social media is a broad public platform. BSG is too narrow and focused to meet that standard.
