AMA #1: Ice Ice Baby!

Hi there!

You may or may not have noticed that I added a new feature to Jiggy's Journal within the last month. That feature is the AMA (Ask Me Anything) page! It's just another way to provide a little more open dialogue with you, the readers!

I got the idea to do this from a similar feature built into most blogs hosted over on Tumblr. Essentially, it encourages readers to submit questions, comments, suggestions, etc. that can later be addressed by the author in later posts, like this one! It's also a way to provide a little more of an open dialogue with you, the readers!

I've only received two legitimate submissions so far (and a whole bunch of spam...), but the AMA page remains open and active. If you've got questions, I've got answers... Probably. Maybe. So here we go...

C.R. asks:
What kind of filter do I need for the ice maker in my refrigerator?

I feel like it's probably necessary to disclose that this question came from my sister, who is trying to troll me. Not because I'm any type of filter or refrigeration pro. I honestly don't even know what brand of refrigerator she has.

Now that we have that out of the way, you're in luck! I did a cursory Google search and found this inline water filter kit from PureWater Filters! Looks to be compatible with just about any kind of ice maker!

Bet you didn't expect a real answer, huh? Also, just in case you're curious, this is the kind we have. 😉

A. Nonnymus asks:
Your cat Rufus is cute, but why is he a turd?

Huh, I wonder who would submit this type of question! How rude!

Aaaaanyway, for anyone who isn't familiar, Rufus is my sweet summer child. He's very cute, very sweet, and very skittish. When we moved out here from Indiana in early 2023, it actually took him about two days before he would even exit his carrier. Even for food or water. That's how scared he can get!

And with him being the very definition of a “scaredy cat,” he's got a very strong fight-or-flight response. When he's scared of something or someone, he usually runs away and hides from them. If he's backed into a corner, though, he'll hiss and start throwing claws. He's still my “baby angel” around those of us he lives with, but he still runs or skibidi baps my sister, brother-in-law, and nephew, who lived out here before we did. Mostly because he doesn't know or feel as comfortable around them.

That explains why he's allegedly such a turd. Anxiety. He fits right in with me!

And that's all for this round! Make sure you get your submissions in for the next round later this month!
