It feels nice to be able to help someone when I was in her situation not too long ago
Im alive!!
How is bro alive?
Oof
GET COLLEGE SCORES, CHILD
How do you already know
Xd yeay
Belief
Well best of luck
Never took this. I assume its like the SATs
Well good luck as long as you tried your hardest
Are you American
Yeah I thought it would confuse someone I was meaning the rat
Yes
GCSEs are like standard grading things
So what you do in high school I think
Ah, that was a different thing
I have genuinely had friends get clinical depression over it
Harder?
Yes
Yeah
Lol
I do not put you at fault for not knowing
Simply do not underestimate them
We do nat5 higher and adv higher
They are very difficult
In high-school we had the ACT testing
You genuinely have to study or you will just fail
Well I they are between our Nat five and huggers I know that
You are now confusing me
Hahaha
Keep in mind I’ve been doing online school in the American system so I only know how bad they are from friends
Like the difficult of a Nat five and a higher a gcse is right in the middle of both
Oh okay hahaha
Lol
So my low and medium grade a GCSE is the middle of difficult
My brain is genuinely not understanding this I blame lack of oxygen and the fact that I’ve been using my brain too much
Hahaha that fair
Anyway this is my hamster he’s a bit of a goofy goober and he basically as smart as a bag of dirt
I fear that is just about the regular hamster iq
Marshmallow was equally smart
didn't know they got that Smart
Lmao 🤣
He looks it
Just set up Nami’s baby containment in hopes of her getting used to it and giving birth there so I won’t need to move the fresh babies (it is all in vain she will give birth in our bed in four weeks)
2 more roses bloomed💓💓
Lmao
is this an indoor plant
Its 2 different rose bushes and yes
yayy
do you happen to know the varieties?
Blue girl and the other just said Montezuma
hmm
Blue girl is on the right
I wonder what cultivars we have at the local orphanage
Also they smell soooo good💓💓💓
are they dwarf cultivars or are they just potted
Potted cause they are 2 months old
They aren't fully grown yet
ooh
found a potted/indoor rose

My guess is it would be happier on the balcony
but a starting point
None of the games I want to play on my xbox are loading
Elden ring servers keep crashing on me
Gta just doesn't wanna load
And I literally just gotnit
Welcome to Xbox
Help my plants are growing like crazy
I’m gonna be eating nothing but pak choi in a few weeks
looking like the return of the carboniferous
also how is the cat's pregnancy going
She is very round and feeling well 
No complications rn, eats like a horse and drinks like her mom (we both love fresh, cold water)
she is eating for like
anywhere from 3 to 7 so
She was beefing with her toy earlier xD
Fr
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT
And I make sure she has food available at all times, usually I portion it more but rn she gets everything she wants to eat bc the kittens are growing rapidly lmao
Also added calsium and vitamin d so her babies can get their bones without taking from hers
She goes crazy with that one sometimes, she doesn’t react to catnip but I feel like they put straight up crack in that one
tbf catnip is more effective on male cats
cause its not really a hallucinogen its an aphrodesiac lmao
Did not know that actually
Lmaoo
specific cats can also just not react to it too
I’ve also tried matatabi but it seems Nami prefers no drugs
Meanwhile our boy cat doesn’t react at all, and the girl cat turns into a midnight ballerina
PFFFFFF
different sensitivities
Straight up climbs and spins around the cat tree
its like people and weed
Lmaooo
hes the chosen one
actually wait is he neutered lmao
if hes intact ive got no explanation but if hes been de-balled that could be why
Yea but he was like that even with balls hahaha
BRUH
Super chill except for the fact he’s a murderous sunofagun
Very little brother vibes
no sex drive all prey drive
why maul the furniture
actually wait hes a cat
that tracks
Maul wouldn’t be quite the word I’d use
oh no 💀
so hes just strange
and somehow immune to an extremely strong aphrodesiac
Yes
wack
So basically imma aclimate them to the temps so 2h outside then repeat slowly with longer times
Who knows maybe he’s got some genetic/chromosomal condition lol apparently it’s common for em
As long as he seems happy and healthy it ain’t no biggie though
He just a lil freak
sounds perfect
how many flat people have you made
At least 50
Rookie numbers
You have to get a 1.5k point combo first😭

Np! Good luck 🔥
I just hope there’s not a bunch of kids and I get at least 35 mins of skating done
Frfr
Yo you got diamond!
I diddd 
Im watchinf a guy play Beethoven for an elephant rn
One other person skating is this heaven or what
I know i’m so skilled
No it doesnt require skill to watch someone play piano
No i play beethoven for elephants every day
It’s not actually beethoven but he was deaf so he wouldn’t know and elephants don’t know what its supposed to sound like
Oh im sure you do
This would be me if i had the ability to aim and shoot like a pro
She could out shoot me any day of the week I’ll be dead ass
What rhe
Go watch the video
She is real fast
I’ve seen faster but only a few times
I did
I helped some beginner skater, talked with a girl I’ve seen before at the rink and had a good time 5/5 
@obsidian bay @past bison
Honestly understandable
So valid
I'm so stoked it's not even funny
beautifullll
Yessss
Yo sweet
Bro they won’t let me do more Spanish😭
I’m genuinely so mad I’m only 9% from finishing the whole thing and they won’t let me lock in😭🙏

i could never recreate it if i tried
complete hail mary for the go ahead goal
Omg that ring is so pretty I love itt

Helping people get a diamond follow dear you just need to pay me five bucks
By the way, it’s guaranteed
<@&393042322499305473>
mah dood, Rule 9: no trading, selling, exploiting, etc
Because I just wanna help my family
Yeah... there is a strict policy on that
🙁
Imma leave this between you two👍
Then get a real job pal
Not the j word😨
at least Willy Wonka didn't lock you in a 2 year contract where you arent allowed to contact your family
If that was you, you wouldn’t be saying that
Bro, he’s a fake
if i was you i'd get a real job ngl
people who sell cotw trophies are the same people who bought land in the metaverse
Bro bro, I can’t work yet. I need to be. 18
Plus, I do work at least I don’t get paid but the cows keep growing strong stronger
What
i was working at age 16
In america you can work as young as 14 depending on your state
promptly fired 2 months later but i was working at age 16
You dont need to be 18 unless your parents aren't signing a work permit
Yeah, but I’m 13
Sigh
wash cars, walk dogs, mow lawns
My friend got fired for being late 3 different times
sell lemonade
I don’t want to get robbed
By the way, last time I sold lemonade, the police said that I needed to have a
A permit
what you need is a kick on the arse and in to gear, if you want money get money
Depends on the state and scale of it, and how nosy people are, but yea I’ve run into the same issue. Just do other odd jobs.
The last time was because she wasn't able to get a ride to work bc her phone had no data or anything
Idk why your concern would be “I don’t want to get robbed” by just mowing lawns and ish. It’s the same kind of money you’d get by doing this scam online for folks, just earned honestly and in a way that doesn’t cheat uneducated people out of their money. There’s got to be better opportunities than scamming people.
Heck, offer to wash your neighbors car or their dog for a few bucks.
paper routes are open to all ages aswell
surely at least one paper route still exists in the USA
True but at least where I am they aren’t common
they live on here at least
Nobody gets newspapers delivered anymore. When I was younger yea but I think the routes are few and far between nowadays
either way anyone who wants to rob you isnt waking up at the same time as a paper route
The ones in our area require a license and vehicle, insurance, etc
365 day flexibility
who ping
unless they're very very determined and have a healthy sleep schedule
EA make their online modes playable challenge level impossible
every goddamn five seconds im clicking the accept button on "sorry the servers arent responding" YOU'RE A MULTI BILLION POUND CORPORATION

Guys there's a blister on my finger
That's why my finger has a blister
You're evil
You don’t need to forgive me soon but I’m glad you accept my apology
I hope you heal in time Jay
Everything does
Can someone send me money, please?
Rule 5...
Please do not ask other users to buy you DLC, donate, give you money, etc.
Rule 5, do not beg for money
Maybe if you shine my boots and clean my hat
I didn’t beg
Bet
You did

Can anyone help me understand why I cant enter any VC?
Disregard, I found out why, haven't reached Silver yet
I think its no exceptions
Make turkey nuggets by doing it yourself
I never had em, so
Its still 11 for me give it time.
Lmaooo alr

In the big ass grassland
Any other Swedes enjoying waffle day?
Wait yall have a whole day???
Yessir 🥹
Waffle day and cinnamon bun day are the most important ones
Omg it’s waffle day today?? I forgot
How dare
I might actually make some waffles today if I have the energy for it
About to go to lidl to buy parmesan for an alfredo sauce
Premade waffle mix is awesome if you're lazy
I am jealous, I love Alfredo sauce
I have it xD
I just gotta buy some whipped cream in a can
I have never made it before so I’ll see how that goes
The best
Good luck!
Tyy I need it
:)
nice
Going to Nattys in Texas
In Dallas? I'm only an hour or two away from there
San Antonio
Idk what occurs there
I think the Alamo is there
There’s dust devils and grackle birds
I’ve been there it’s the only thing i remember
DESCRIBE THE SCENT PLEEEEEASEEEE
Congrats.
I mean I could never, public speaking is my kryptonite
but, CONGRATS!
From afar because its not super potent yet its slightly floral and kinda like pollen but getting closer its VERY sweet and foral like a perfume it makes me think of a flower I have smelt before
No
Japanese andromeda, had a massive one on my old property, smelled like one of those white ones in the early spring
Im excited for the fact there's three more with another one having id day a few days left max before also flowering
Loved this plant they were so pretty but after a few days it would be taken over by hella ants bc yeah sweet
Alamo, missions, river walk, pearl, military bases, good mexican food, barbecue, etc.
Also you really don’t see that many dust devils in central texas
you know whats lovely? Easter cactus.
They're so unassuming and meh
and then suddenly: whimsical flowy-skirt-shaped blossom
I saw like 10 in 3 days
I have hardly seen any
And i live there
Maybe like at most 30-40 in my entire life
Love having a job hate going to work
Oooo nice!
Trying to name all after rocks but first one was Rollo lmao
I actually have some of them
These dinos are so fun
I always have easter event on so they get all colourful
They usually are ether red yellow of pink depending on which one you get
Very pretty indeed
Lmao cool
Omg I want thatt
I love ark 
There was always a bunch on the freshly plowed corn fields
why were around a bunch of corn fields as well lol, you were in San Antonio right?
Around
There gonna get eaten by a giga
See the thing is
I play with a bit tweaked settings
= upon taming my dinos become insanely strong
My pack takes down rexes easyy
I’m not sure at all what the place was called but it was like 20 minutes away from san antonio
Oh hell naw
thats average for me
what?
i live on a farm and gotta be out the house by 6am
I pray I'll never have that reality
i quite enjoy it
Gotta sleep till 8 or it's not a good day
Wow I can barely handle once a week and now I gotta do twice
mines 5 days a week
I work at a dog daycare so we have to be open before everything else so people can drop of their dogs before they start working
It's a 15 min drive away and we open at 6:15
6:15-15 shifts are such a pain but the maneyzzzz
huh

DOG DAYCARE??
Yesssss
i aint even graduated HS yet
Around 30 puppers daily to play with
Idk when or what high school is really 😭
Hopefully new job by September but we'll see
One where I can work NIGHTS
And be on discord all shift

i just passed myy Pert like 2h ago
Pert?
Post-secondary Education Readiness Test
like a placement test to get scoring to see where you fall in regards to college course-level classes
i didnt realize i was talking to mods
Cooked
Yup
Survival instinct of a gosh damn Rhode Island Red
It’s a type of chicken they are very friendly and it often leads to them getting absolutely destroyed by predatory animals
Anyway the mods here are friendly so don’t worry
ITS SO COLDR
That’s a Japanese maple as well
I have 2 of them
Actually 3
To be fair... Faverolles are.. objectively... worse.
True that
Uncle left my birds out when I was doing a late shift once
- 3x Salmon Faverolle
- 3x Chauntecler
- 2x Jersey Giant
- 4x assorted Marans
- 1x white crested black polish
- 3x buff orpington
Giants, Marans, Polish and Orpington all made it to the coop and tucked themselves in
Chauntecler couldnt find the door but they all nested under the ramp to the run
Faverolles all just laid down where they were and accepted their fate
ALL over the yard
one by the house
the coop
on TOP of the run which like.... smartest dumb one?`Safe from the foxes and bobcats and coyotes...
Not safe from the giant owls
my sweet idiot babies
New thing I got today, a fixup of an older design.
Welp no eggie today, im pretty sure she may have stepped on it lol
She's usually pretty good at evading her eggs but accidents happen
awh
Tyk look at the card my friend made me
It has cleo, vince, and croaker on it
Idk why she didn't put peppermint 😭
omg I love this so much
I KNOWW
I had to have my nose cauterized AGAIN and it burns so bad owie ouchy
Rip my HCOTW streak, I haven’t had my Xbox for almost a week 😔
My little brother just got a haircut and it's so bad that I impulsivly let out an audible "eugh" when he walked through the door
He then ran to his room and only left to go to the bathroom, when he did he wore a towel on his head
I feel so bad
It’s okay bro we forgive you
Somethings you can’t control yknow
I’ve done the same thing 😔 💔
The sweet cherry trees are beginning to bloom
Also look at the giant stress cracks on this dead loblolly pine
bullied 😂 😭
It'll be grown out a bit in a week or two, no?
@manic inlet what do I do if my paper got flagged with ai but I didn’t use ai to write it but did use copilot to help with wording
Like we are allowed to have copilot on our laptops
But it’s not like I told it to write it for me
are you being downgraded for it?
i bet the teacher used ai to detect if it was ai ☠️
I got a 0/50
She did
And I’m annoyed
And I wanna cry
I have a D in that class now
I’ve been burnt out and stressing over school for the last 2 weeks
Spring break I’m using to work and relax at the same time
I have a paper due tonight as well
did you literally even do anything other than use it to give input on word choice?
also check the rubric
if theres nothing in the rubric specifically denying its use as a word choice tool then point it out
and if she's an ass about it go to the dean
and if the dean doest listen go to the provost
and if you really wanna be petty threaten to take a story of unfair downgrading by an incompetent professor to the nearest news outlet thatll air it
have a plan to fight back against annoying ass powertrippy people
yeah that’s insane… you’ll be able to figure it out, i believe in you
A paper I wrote got flagged too. I didn’t use ai one bit
Dr pepper hat
Nope
In the syllabus it states absolutely no use of it though
So either way I can’t fight it
Besides just being like nuh uh I wrote that
Even though I partially did
well I suppose contest it and in the future use thesaurus instead
Just write the paper
that’s either vintage or a knockoff, it’s cool tho
I hope you sleep with a warm pillow
I did
And now I get to write another
Except it’s a speech
Side shot to show those little fuzzies
Can't wait for both to be open she's so close
Last one lmao just thought id show the back because you can actually see the flowers peeling back, and just a little update on the smaller ones. I love the fact they gonna grow over the skull
Took her out of the glass bc theyre struggling to fit together lol, its barely against it so Im confident she'll be ok
Huh??
😭🙏
The package my lipgross came in ripped
And its a cute packaging
The little box
Yes
😐
Nah Jerry was with me the whole time and we went to the mall and was looking at shoes he ain’t rip it
You know it bro
are... you buying this house?
wooden box aesthetic
I am in LOVE with wood flooring
but idk about the wood paneling on the walls as well.. and the ceiling
Was a house I was looking at
Indeed it’s only 90k was gonna buy it and flip it
oh thats super afforodable
"affordable"
ykwim
Yes and it’s sitting on 2 acres as well
ouuhhh 2 acres is good
@obsidian bay I also wanted to apologize for how I acted a couple days ago. I was in the wrong and I was just being a butthead and I don’t know why. I’m sorry.
Absolutely!
Not bad for what you got though
No the house kinda sucks
Better than no house
If its above 77 in the house all the smoke detectors go off
Oh lord😭😭😭
The hot water doesn't work in the downstairs bathroom during winter either
And then our dishwasher broke
And water heater
Within a week of each other
The downstairs toilet has broken twice
The upstairs one doesn't even flush properly
Uhm I take it back sounds like whoever sold it to you kinda put makeup on a pig
Oh nice things just living rent free
If you gonna live in my attic at least fix my house😭
At least we have a garage
And a nice basement
Also my room is so poorly insulated that whatever the temp is outside will be my room
Happens fam - people knock heads online all the time
Still, I had no business being a butthead to you like I did
tbh normal - critters need shelter too!
Yes they do that's why there's mice in our garage
Little skins 🙏
There’s mice in the roof of my house
And birds and bats
And everytime they move around it makes a horrible scratching noise 😭
There's bats that live in my friends wall and they've gotten into her window fan before
And into her house
In general
I like bats but they can be very scary
I remember when one got into my garage
I felt bad
It kept going up to the roof and behind the walls
I am fairly certain it got stuck..
noooo 😭
I know
I found a little bat on the street like 4 years ago
A pipistrelle
But i fed him some mealworms and released him in a dead tree
Can I feed you mealworms
Flying fluffball
imagine being a fur trader in the ol'timey days and having to skin mice
brother its so milked out 😭
Literally me🥹
you know whats rEALLY cute?
Bumblebee bats.
don’t worry it’s sat for like six minutes
Look at'em!
No ur not
Sucks that there’s like 3 confirmed pictures
Milked out?
Looks like a normal tea to me
wat.
Kittis hog-nosed bat?
Yes there’s barely any confirmed pictures
No - theres nothing normal about drinking a water based drink that you diluted milk in
Yk I think the same whenever I make tea and it kinda grosses me out
@obsidian bay imagine Misty Mountains(the song fromThe Hobbit) sung in a southern accent
Oh.
That would be beautiful 🥹
You clearly can’t imagine this bc there’s no clams involved
Funniest thing said by happie ever
Immediately no
I fear this means you have no taste💔
Rabies
Frfr
Yo
I’m good, thanks bro. Yourself?
Good to hear bro, I’m doing great! Just got the yard mowed and such
Good work man, have a great rest of your day!🔥
Thanks bro! You as well!
Thanks, brother😎
I got an early birthday gift from my bf so I can use it at work tomorrow, it’s a stanley coffee cup I’ve been wanting for so long in the exact color I wanted 
Dug up this beauty
Low key jealous that thing is so cool🔥
Made in czechoslovokia too. It's an authentic kolobok
Damn!
Man that is so cool!!
Ikr?
Absolutely epic bro
Apparently it's been on many a hunting and camping trip
I bet
It shall now be brought back into the canadian woods on my next camping trip
I shall
noice
i wish i knew how to cook fr but i just suck at making full meals
im bad at like cooking many things at once and timing the finish
i lwk feel bad for every little chore my fiance does 🙏 i try to do a bit of everything, and considering my schedule is never that packed it's even more convincing to do it
So learn
thats the hardest part, once you get that sorta down its all easy
@rancid elm
I kinda wish the state of Illinois would open up a giant hunting reserve in Starved Rock
Theres barely any difference with cotw 😭
Completely missed these guys lmaooo
Ooo pretty
Skull collection is growinnggg
Coyote and muntjac?
Pretty sure
They are escaping their confinement 🤣🤣
Definitely muntjac but maybe fox/coyote
Btw they are pipping if it wasnt clear😂
Red fox
I thought so
@obsidian bay do you know what breed these are?
Deformed miniature horses if I had to guess
Oof
They're bones s point where the "breed them smaller and smaller" becomes unethical
And you end up with tiny horse bodies... but normal sized organs/bones/teeth
Not all mini horses are like this
Some are perfectly proportioned
Then you have the weird ahh pot bellied, too-big-headed, short legged balloons that run around
Tyk i might be going to switzerland in a week
Exciting!
Not quite austria but still it’s the alps
Some of them are!
Some just happen to have unfortunate genetics because people think tiny is cute, even when its unethically done
I’ve seen some like half sized ponies they looked normal proportions just small
Ja 🫠
A lot of dwarf minis should be culled, imo.
Many suffer from tooth displacement - full sized horse teeth in micro skulls make existence hard
Many have some sort of hydrocephaly looking bulging heads
My dad is going somewhere next to zurich but i might just get a card for the trains and stuff and head south
Like if you arent responsibly breeding for better conformation to a standard, dont be doin it.
Thats super fun and im excited you get to adventure a lil bit
Exactly
We were supposed to visit a friend in February but hubs got sick and now needs surgery so that's been tabled for now
There are a lot of animals that I think need to be culled in the human pet category
It’s just a chance tho i have to ask what the chances are that i come with 😭
BAT YOUR EYES, LAD.
PLEAD, TELL HIM YOU YEARN FOR ZURICH
I see both sides of it.
If the current existing stock can live comfortably - then of course they shouldn't just be merked. If they need constant medical attention/support etc then QOL should be looked at and decided from there
No breeding from those stock/lines should ever happen.
I do want to see the snowy alps and i’ve never seen a glacier 🤔
Locate and acquire better genetics and physical conformation and then resume bettering the breed
I’m gonna be honest I’m a little bit of a stickler when it comes to genetics for animals
Well I really hope dad is lenient and let's you join
So I believe that if the line of breeding does not benefit you in a positive way and the animal in a positive way or the animal species in general then it should not exist
I can’t come with he is driving with 2 other people and a carload of equipment
The plan was flying at first but he just has too much equipment
Omg I love reasonable people
Yesyesyes
Lemme clarify - I'm not saying people should breed them
but I also dont think the wholesale destruction of current living animals that are capable of living without constant life support measures or constant medical intervention for 'patching' small things is correct. Spay/neuter them. Let them live out their lives comfortably - reassess annually when they get their (or should get their) check-ups if the course should be kept or if other measures (humane euth) arre better for QOL
If the animal can self-sustain without constant human interference (not counting food/water/enrichment - I mean CONSTANTLY poking prodding medicating to maintain its day-to-day existence etc... like the rescue who seem to think keeping a tripod horse because he's "doing alright" 😠 💢 ) then I dont see the harm in it existing and being loved for their remaining life.
Omg not Rocky 💀💀
I HATE HIS SITUATION SO FRACKIN MUCH
He should have been six feet under the day he was born
He cannot live comfortably and pain free and I can tell his body is giving up
'he walks fine!'
Bihh I watch tripod dogs and cats walk like that and the only reason its okay is because they're like.. MAX 100lbs. Not 1000.
The video of him going downhill sweet jesus no
The strain differential on the skeleton is INSANE
Also they need much support and like massages and stuff to keep their body working
Yep
I firmly believe the smaller size is entirely what makes tripod pets viable
heck even small small bipod dogs/cats.
It's NOT good - but if they are maneuvering and can go to the bathroom cleanly enough - or can suppport self on little wheelcarts - then like.. Let them live it out
the minute you have something in pain - and horses, birds etc.. they are professionals at 'Nah nah I am fine. All good mate.'
then you need to reasses. Are you being greedy and selfish because YOU want them to be around and be happy, or are they actually okay and happy

If Nami became tripod I’d have to really consider if her QOL would be good enough for me to be okay to make her live like that
She’s a crackhead and if it would limit her too much I don’t think I could make her go through that
also dependent on which limb and how much of it
Now the interesting thing is fellow deer are quite good at living without one of their legs
Now I am not saying you leave them alive missing a leg I’m simply saying they’re oddly good at living without one
Yepp
I did not know this
But then again ”smaller” wild animals who can move without a leg are pretty good at coping bc if you don’t you get eaten lmao
I think most of the small bodied deer can manage it
Yeah unfortunately they’re also very good at jumping and so when they jump over a barbwire a fence sometimes they get their leg caught inside barbwire a fence they tend to lose the leg
Fallow would be the biggest that I'd consider "humane" if it met all other markers
Oh no it’s still inhumane to leave them alive you should put them down however they are remarkably good at surviving
Same with most deer actually
I’ve heard stories of reds and sika dragging themselves hundreds of metres after being shot through the lungs and heart with a 300 WinMag💀
Oooof
Frfr
A sheep at the land i hunt at had its leg stuck in a fence and me my dad and a friend of his managed to save it
Nice
I follow katie van slyke, have you seen her newest tiktok? Her one mare, Happy, gave birth to a foal that had one leg underdeveloped and they put the foal down right after the vet had assessed her and told that she could not use the leg ever properly
The way Rocky’s owner should have done precisely thattt
I’m super nervous
Getting my wisdom teeth pulled pulled next Friday
And they have to give me an iv that’s cool and all but I no like needles (yes I have tattoos but that’s different)
I DO watch her - and some stuff I've questioned, but the more I have learned - I think like, her parents used to own her 'company' or something? and now that she is in charge its like she's trying to change what the parents had originally set up as the overall business model?
Yeah could be yep
Seven was somewhat questionable but then again he was in the care of vets at all times and they monitored him closely
honestly - as someone who doesn't like bleeding/seeing blood
(And yet I too have both ink and gauges 😂 )
I was big concerned going in to have my wisdoms out (all 4 impacted at the roots of surrounding molars, so needing cut free)
they did the IV at the crease of my elbow - so no:
- hand pain
- visible blood
and it was much more acceptable for me to be elbow jabbed.
Idk how you are with strong medication but - they told me to count down from 100
Me, confidantly: "100, 99, 98, 97 ... 96. .. 96.. 96...... 96... 97. 98. 99. 100!"
and then I woke up sobbing - but apparently thats just cos anesthesia is particularly rude to me.
I was not scared, in pain or anything.
Just uncontrollably crying because ✨ reasons ✨
That’s good at least, the big part for me is just knowing it’s coming so my coping mechanism is just closing my eyes lol
I think what I appreciated about Seven , is that they did NOT prolong him longer than medically necessary
and they got a LOT of information resulting from learning
Your heart was in the right place for the countdown though lmao
I confidently gave it 110% effort.
Lmaoooo
Yeppp he helped a lot of vet students and vets to learn more about premature foals
But bearing in mind, Benedryl can make me sleep for 8 hours like a baby, I should've understood haha
Lmaoooooo
This is so relatable
You were out quick 😭
aint fightin it lmao
Piercing? Yes. IV? I’d actually prefer you shoot me rn
I will say - DO clarify before hand you want a good icepack when they send you home
Like any needles entering my veins me going passy outty night night lmao
I got a stupid 3" disc one
and I lived in Yuma, AZ at the time.. and for anyone that doesn't know, that place is PINK on the heat index in the summer
Bet I appreciate you telling me
so it was thawed like.. halfway from freezer to bedroom
I don’t think I would mind an iv if it was somewhere where I cannot see it
- try not to laugh
- eat soft foods
- do not aggressively clean the stitches if they use them
- use your pain meds if you get some/can
I’ve definitely gotten better with it since I’ve gotten older when I was younger I literally big a nurse bc she tried to give me a flu shot 🤦♂️
I ripped one stitch off 2 days later laughing, no dry socket (thankfully)but also the stitches were the dissolved kind
so they wore out like within the week
Oh god the not laughing part is gonna be hard
bruh. I hated myself
I’ve never had one and an iv is one reason I haven’t gotten a tubal yet despite being old enough to get it 💀
I was in highschool and my then bf and I rented Borat to watch at his house
What’s a tubal?
cue me, sobbing with laughter and pain and needing cotton pads to press over the stitch
Tubal ligation?
Tubal ligation, sterilization surgery
Ohhhhhh
