Leaf piles are the worst!

I knew you were somewhat wisecracking. 🙂 Thanks for the reply. It’s a mixed blessing for sure!

Thank you Jinni! I’m wondering is the same as being unfollowed? Because I’m so in the greys it seems like no one can even see me anymore. (formerly Somedancer). 😐

Yeah, when I was sexually harassed I sure was hoping for some sort of publicity. Honestly! The 20+ years of work I put in for the environment were not important. I’d much rather be known as “that woman who was called a whore by her supervisor”. Just like I’m sure Nadine MCool wanted to be known as “That sexual abuser…

Heh. Or my back yard. That’s where most people on my street dump theirs. :/

Uh huh. What other mental health conditions do you think should prohibit people from having jobs?

I beg you to explain this to Steven Pinker. He has the ear of a lot of liberals, and he’s with your less informed students on this matter.

Actually this is a terribly sad thought. I did my thesis work on birds at Audubon in South Carolina, with Biologists who generously gave me keys to the sanctuary and showed me the gorgeous, second-oldest cypress forest in the country. I also saw incredible shows at Spoleto, an arts festival in the very progressive…

I used to work at an animal shelter that requested we wash our hands every 20 minutes during work hours. They didn’t enforce it, but being OCD (formal diagnosis btw) I did so anyway. That was the only year I wasn’t vaccinated (pre-flu vaccine) that I didn’t catch any flu or cold virus. I did manage to develop eczema…

You’d have to find a receptacle location for your used needle (a hazardous waste bin, not easy to find) plus if you have a reaction to the vaccine your “self administration” philosophy would get a whole lot more interesting.

I’ve been paranoid all winter that my immunity would decline. I got my vaccine in October and I even heard they wanted us to get two rounds of the vaccine? I had swine flu in 2009. Trust me, nothing is worth that shit. I’m shocked I survived at all.

At 2:46. Sorry not a movie, but that made it worse because it was promoted as for children. I was like 4 when I saw this. What the hell were they thinking, this thing sounds like a baby dying of the plague.

YES YES YES I actually had a dream that one of them snatched my sister in her sleep. I was convinced they were after her like, days later.

I wish there were one on burping.

I need one of these monsters for my neighborhood for people who don’t own a rake and think lawn mowers leaf-blowers should be run every day from March to November. I would care for this monster and make him happier than all the monsters that ever lived. Ps my neighbors are delicious.

I jog at a beautiful lake and a few major assholes have decided that everyone enjoying the silence should listen to their blasting shit-music via a phone held high up in the air or a tiny boombox carried around like a trophy. 😡

I second the poster who said please, don’t do this. CaCO3 is a varying compound of calcium and carbonate (alkalai salts or minerals) that gives rise to stuff like chalk, shells and limestone. Mollusks, mussels, barnacles and sea urchins in seawater continually secrete this compound that gives structure to their…

There is reason for hope but for the love of god PLEASE stop with the reintroductions. These habitats have proven themselves incapable of supporting these species. They need habitat protection, not more pretty animals. Reintroduction only harms surviving populations which WILL recover if we as individuals do a few…

And then there’s the wind. At 43 F it could be a gorgeous day except the ferocious gush is tangling my hair, blowing sand in my eyes and making the blinding sunlight irrelevant. Or I bundle up and inevitably the wind stops and I’m soaked with sweat. If one more person says “Don’t you love spring”? I swear to god.

Man, I am so sorry to hear this. I’ve worked as a veterinary nurse (not saying it’s the same but it is stressful) and your description sounds to me like, they might just have bad chemistry together. It happens. any examples of this other nurse being abusive, negligent, bullying? If not, the solution may be simple.…
