When I've asked this the most common response is "Well that's how you say it." I guess it is more common to say "It's on January fourth" rather than "the fourth of January" but I can't say I think that's a sensible reason. The computers at my work default to US dates and it confused me so much in my first month that I

Good eye. Snopes says it's a false claim. Thank goodness. I've fallen for things like that before though.

Strange, but I can't really judge. Every year my president pardons a turkey from being killed and eaten for Thanksgiving, before going on to eat a... different turkey. So.

WHY DO SO MANY FUCKING GODDAMN PEOPLE NEED TO ASSUALT NEWS PEOPLE.

i've been a donor to aspca since 2008. :D

In addition to what Tabitha said, it sounds like the dog did have a condition of some sort, just one that was treatable and was being adequately managed. But that does change things in the eyes of a vet...if devil lady claimed she couldn't afford continued treatment or something like that, the vet might have felt it

Let's not forget the angle of the single girl who entered/ re-entered/ switched industries during the recession and are still trying to claw their way into a comfortable work situation. Yeah, I'm about 32 and really should be putting in the time to find a mate if I want to settle down and have kiddos (and, I do)- but

That's a really fantastic idea! Thanks so much :)

They should be inside cats, less risk of compromising their immune system and less risk of transmission. Route of transmission is generally through deep bite wounds (so FIV is found more often is outdoor, non-neutered male cats) and sometimes from infected mom to kitten. The more current research shows that sexual

The first cat to ever adopt me was a cranky old snuggle-tooth, cross eyed Siamese who liked to nip people a lot. He was FIV positive and the shelter I worked for was going to euthanize him, so my boss basically helped me smuggle him out. He lived a long and happy life as the emperor of my home (and my dogs). I'm

I don't care about *true meaning of Christmas* or any of that crap, but I can definitely get behind parents not spoiling the fuck out of their kids. If their kids are acting entitled, the exact right thing to do is not give them the thing they act entitled to.

Well the event happened when my fiance was a child and he's 30 now. So over 20 years. I'm sure he would've known by now! :) But because of the way the question is worded, I failed. I should've lied!

You would think! But this is America, where we drag science to the bathroom and give it a swirly.

I dropped out at 20 due to depression! I'm now 26, graduating in May, and looking forward to graduate school. Advice: GO FOR IT AND KILL IT!

My husband and I have an agreement that the kids (to be had) will get his last name but all the dogs will have my last name. I am irrationally happy by the idea that they might actually know it. :-D

My dog goes so insane when I pick her up that she can't use the slip lead because she nearly chokes herself. It's very flattering, really.

Paper chains using colored construction paper. I like that everyone can make a small segment and link it up to be a big chain. Then you can put it up all around the common room and your residents can see what they made.

Netflix has The Muppet Christmas Carol, which should be perfect. Everybody loves the muppets.

Growing up, I always thought the point of gingerbread houses was to make them, decorate them, take a picture, then destroy them with a hammer and put gingerbread and frosting into the mouth part of your face until you can't do that thing anymore. Then I discovered people who just decorate them and let them sit out
