I don't know who needs to hear this but you are important, you are loved, there is an opossum living in your attic which is why your socks keep going missing, you are valid & you matter.
@roxiqt EEP! How in the hell did this little guy make it's way to WALES?!
@jaedia they are very crafty
@roxiqt Ooh, they can help me learn blackstitching. I'll go buy them a little jumper to keep warm.
@jaedia @roxiqt hitched a ride with Charles when he visited Canada last year. He was the Prince of Wales back then after all. 😛
@jaedia @roxiqt
This! I'm in North-West England and we don't have opossums and racoons but I'm still missing socks, so maybe a ferret or polecat? Can badgers climb?
@roxiqt oh no, i don't even HAVE an attic!
@AlicePotiron @roxiqt Ah, I am sure this little "kitty" should be released at once! (Honestly, while opossums could tear up the garden a bit looking for insects, they are truly gentle creatures just wanting to rid the area of ticks and live a quiet life.)
@roxiqt @Pr0mptCr1t1cal Lies! I am the 'possum hiding my own socks and forgetting where...

@roxiqt to eternally commemorate this important point, i rendered the opossum.

please excuse the crudity of the rendering, i didn't have time to build him to scale

also his name is 'cuddles'

@roxiqt Jeebus! I thought alien robots were stealing my socks!
@roxiqt I just wish they would start stealing the socks I'm trying to get rid of
@roxiqt < that's him. his name is Max, and he's very large and good
@roxiqt I have never felt so seen or supported--specifically by the possum but also in general.
@roxiqt Aw, thanks! I’m pretty sure it’s squirrels, though, in my case.
@roxiqt I don't think it's an opossum, but there is definitely SOMETHING living in my walls. I want to believe it's just a mouse and...not...something else... 😀
@roxiqt
We have a deal were I give socks and he poops outside.
@roxiqt mines a raccoon ❤️
@roxiqt Unless you multiply yourself by speed-of-light-squared - then you energy
@roxiqt it's wonderful when we can edify and inspire people, those guys are thieving jerks, and I'm so grateful for your kindness.
@roxiqt Thank you for the kind words, and this also explains a lot!
@roxiqt OMG, when I was a child in Australia, we did have an opossum in our attic for a bit. Now I know where all my socks went.
@roxiqt My opossum managed to make my whole attic go missing. My opossum and me are a good match 💖
@roxiqt Hi roxi! So glad to see you here!
@roxiqt The bit about the opossum was really comforting, it's been a though time, but knowing that little guy's up there wearing ten pairs of socks really warms my heart.
@roxiqt For me it was a mouse behind the washer/dryer. Found the odd sock nest just last week. The sock drawer reunion was glorious!
@roxiqt if i have all my socks does it mean i don't have an opossum?
@roxiqt got a family of squirrels in mine...
@roxiqt It’s not an opossum in my attic. It’s a monster. I’m sure of it.
@roxiqt ...a opossum is stealing my socks?! oh well... I owe somebody a huge apology! Why didn't you tell me that before I ended up ruining their life?
@roxiqt I’m honestly just so happy she came home! The attic will always be there for her !!!
The ultimate Ceiling Cat, possums are adorable floofs who ‘don’t hurt humans, eat pests and cannot carry rabies’
You should BE so lucky to have one protecting your home from things like Lyme Disease!
@roxiqt My partner's company used to own a cottage in an abandoned saw mill village (Donnelly Village). We'd go down most years. The dunny was out the back. First time I was in there hearing scratching and the like scared me witless! But there was Mr Possum staring down at me through a gap in the ceiling. He was there year after year. I didn't count my socks though.
@roxiqt I don't know why I find this so funny! I had trouble reading it out loud to my daughter who found my delivery funnier than the text itself. So thank you for making me literally laugh out loud! I needed that! ❤️
@roxiqt I laughed. And shared. This little toot brightened my day!
@roxiqt it was a raccoon but thanks
@roxiqt if you’re in touch with the opossum can you tell them to take a few more odd socks, the more odd socks I find the more gonks I can make for my Christmas collection 😂
@roxiqt This felt pretty broad till you narrowed in on my possum…Ty
@roxiqt The opossum has also run away with about ten pairs of $1 reading glasses

@roxiqt

I believe that's actually a possum. His Irish cousin moved out last week.

@roxiqt
by now I'm very sure that opossum has more feet than the average opossum. A lot more.
@roxiqt Okay that totally explains why my new socks went to holes inside a week thank you
@roxiqt thats a lie first I dont matter and second I have raccoons.
