Jim’s Cafe - Fri.Jan.9, 2026

[JMG]

Hey everyone, haven’t done a cafe for about a month now I think, so thought I’d post one for today. Hope everyone is well

Today’s theme is funny/cute, I found some pics online that I think fit one or both of those descriptions so made a collage of them. Feel free to pick which one you like the most



If you don’t feel like picking one of these pics then feel free to talk about whatever is on your mind, something positive about yourself/your life, things you feel grateful for, anything like that.

(I made the date for this cafe be for Friday even though it’s still technically Thursday where I am. I know there’s lots of members here from Europe and it is already Friday there, so just made the date be for Friday instead)

Sorry if I forgot any regulars with tagging, but all are always welcome here in the cafe

My answers about fave pic & the other things.

1. Fave pic of those 6 is probably the cats taking a selfie. It’s hard to pick though cos I find all the pics cute and funny :p

2. What’s on my mind is lots of stuff as always. Some of the things are hoping this year will be at least as good or better than last year, hoping my physical pain problem will be better soon, and looking forward to seeing my friend in a couple days.

3. Something positive about myself is that I am a caring person. Something positive about my life is that I am lucky enough to have a sweet, special kitty where I live.

4. Some things I feel grateful for are the things I mentioned in #3, and also my mom, friend, sis, that I have a place to live, that I have enough food and other physical things I need, books, games, art, my phone and lots of other things too

My favorite is 3rd from the left on top row. Its a hamster or gerbil all dressed up. Is also nice to see Jim's Cafe open again. I was blessed to know Jim. A wonderful man.

Thanks for replying & picking a fave pic SillyOldBear Ya I’m not sure what the 3rd pic animal is supposed to be, just found it kinda randomly & thought it was cute lol. I love that one too though.

That’s really awesome that you knew Jim. I never did, but it seems he must’ve been quite legendary to have the cafe’s be named after him. I wish I could have known him though cos it sounds like he was great. Hope you’re well and that the new year is going well for you so far.

I also like the cats taking a selfie. @JMG I had limiTed familiarity with Jim but he disappeared shortly after I joined.

this retirement gig is not good. Between that and physical pain I am not good. I investigated a hip replacement today but I can’t get it done in time to heal before my bucket list trip to Alaska. So I will have to live with the pain through the trip in July. I’m signed up for some classes but they don’t start for a while.

but eventually I’ll be okay. Just venting.

My fav is the cat selfie under the Eiffel Tower. Anything with cats is good by me.

Thanks for opening up the cafe and tagging me

For the picture, I choose the bear in the cup. So cute and I really love the color.

2026 has been okay so far for me. Lots of shit happened as well but I manage. I have this plan to travel so I don't have to deal with all the bullshit here, but I will have to discuss it with my parents. Hopefully it all goes well.

Thank you for opening the cafe and the tag @JMG

I think the cats taking a selfie is my favorite, but really they are all awesome

 

[Inastorm]

Thanks @JMG for opening the cafe and tagging me.

I find the cats taking a selfie funny.

Just have work today and then the weekend which ill looking forward to . I hope the weather improves here as its been snow and ice for a while now.

 

[FFurry]

Thanks @JMG ! I'll have to go with the cats as well 😹

For every guy sending out 100 resumes a week, there are multiple people sending out a 1,000! That's the job market nowadays. I'm hoping to skip past this soon 😐

Thank you for the tag and opening @JMG. I like the pug and the alien nesting dolls, they're different. Im just glad it's Friday and I have things to do Saturday and Sunday. Im feeling ok, a little burnt out at work, we are down a few people for what i do. Also, missing my youngest daughter as she is busy with boyfriend, teaching yoga n work. I wish she could squeeze me in.

Hi everyone!
Thanks for opening the cafe and tag -
My girfriend has cats, so the cat selfie is my favorite.

There's lots on my mind, but nothing major. My weight is low (down 15 lbs in a few months, down to 110), so my energy, stamina and mental focus suffer. Being in a new relationship. My gf is moving to my state. Some relationships take work and effort, I'm having to relearn that.

Things I like in my life - being with my gf in Florida for the winter, instead of freezing in the midwest. Having a gf-15 years after losing my wife and of thinking that I would never be loved again. I completed paying off a bill that was 500$ per month.

Things I'm grateful for - that my attempts didn't succeed. That it's been over 10 years since I've been on a psych ward. That SF was here for some things that could have spiraled me into another attempt, things are better now, and I'm grateful to still be around to experience them.

I hope 2026 is kind to all of us.

Peace

I love the cats in front of the Eiffel Tower! Very playful.
Feeling grateful Ginger Ale has been helping my nervous stomach. Stupid anxiety!

i love the cat selfie... however i am drawn to the bear cub in the cup floating in the ocean with the night sky. Mostly because of the ocean, night sky and teacup. The bear is really cute too... but felt i had to choose my top 3. Thank you for posting this wonderful cafe @JMG

Although the cats are fun I am another fan of the hamster or whatever in the little suit, that is pretty fun.
