I’m fairly certain my 3 yo nephew is currently surviving on air the one packet of fruit snacks he gets in his lunch everyday . He is given healthy and semi-healthy meals, but he mostly just ignores them or refuses to eat more than 2 bites of anything that is not in the gummy family.

I guess once you have a starch, the only thing to do is have another?

My favorite part is when the kitty climbs on the end post like that’s what he meant to do all along. I freaking love cats.

But they don’t pick one. They have both.

You should get cats. They’ll keep you company and eat your corpse, so you don’t rot when you eventually die alone. That’s the route I’m taking.

Unfortunately, yes. My cousins are popping out babies right and left, and if I have to attend another party where we take cupcakes to look for the reveal one or watch cake cutting for the filling color or choose pink or blue necklaces or shirts some other cutesy reveal idea, there better be lots of alcohol involved.

Yeah. Even people who go in loving kids/ animals/ the sick whatever suffer from compassion fatigue and burn out and have moments when they resent the hell out of the people or animals for which they’re caring. Low pay and/ or bad hours make this worse, so starting off with a bad attitude is a recipe for disaster.

Yeah, apparently I made a former classmate an MRA because of ...reasons. He told me this about two years ago out of the blue as part of some self-help program he was following. If only I had not led him on (by being generally polite) and then not been creeped out when he started leaving shit in my locker and talking…

I cannot wear crazy high heels. My (soon to be ex) SIL insisted I wear monstrous heeled gladiator sandals for her wedding. The ceremony was delayed by the weather, so they did cocktail hour before the ceremony. I took a bit too much advantage. How my drunk ass self did not kill myself or anyone else or humiliate…

I don’t know I can’t do scarves either. My mom and my sister do them well, and mom, at least, has more on the boob front, so IDK. I think I just lack some sort of innate scarf ability and just wear turtlenecks if it’s cold and necklaces if I want something decorative.

Yeah, I briefly taught at a Catholic school, and we weren’t set up to deal with kids who were home bound if the parents couldn’t afford tutors. I know a lot teachers, me included, who spent plenty time on the phone and at the homes of sick kids, but were were’t paid for it, and if it was more than one kid or for a…

I love it too. I used it in high school and college when I did theater to remove stage makeup, and a few months ago, I was looking for a cleanser that wouldn’t dry my peeling, sensitive skin, so I decided to give it a go. Great decision. It takes the makeup off without making my skin dry and tight. It also, amazingly,…

I laughed, and then, I cried a little because I am old enough to laugh at this.

This. I actually think males might be worse because they always stink, and females aren’t always in heat, but I have the same question.

Unfortunately, what it takes to make it through vet school is not the same as common sense/ ability to appropriately interact with the public.

The AVMA policy on euthanasia recommends if possible using Nitrogen gas as an adjunct form of euthanasia on anesthetized mammals (except pigs) because of the very real possibility that they will suffer and panic before losing consciousness. Gradual fill carbon dioxide is better because it is better at rendering the…

Nope. You can’t get everything at a regular pharmacy, but if your pet is on something they use for people, you can often get good deals at human pharmacies. Your vet just can’t prescribe something off label if there is an approved veterinary drug available.

I agree that judging all pharmacists on that one is unfair. In my experience, most pharmacists range from pretty good to awesome, but the ones that are awful are just amazingly awful.

Yeah, but not much different from what people already do. There was an awful case in vet school where a dog never got her take-home pain medicine after having her fucking leg amputated (after having it shot because she was defending her asshole owner from a cop after he got a DUI) because the owner was stealing her…

Yes, between me and my cats, one of which is a longhair, it's a little scary. I have to be really careful to periodically take apart and clean the brush thing inside the vacuum cleaner to avoid burning up the motor (RIP former vacuum cleaner).
