And for our health. Reusing plastic drink bottles not only exposes people to move micro plastics and chemicals, but plastic is porous. Even with regular washing, bacteria can leech into these pores overtime and be almost impossible to remove.
Plastics are some of the worst things we have created as a species.
I’m so sorry, hair loss can definitely be demoralizing. I have alopecia, so I can relate. My doctor put me on oral minoxidil, and it’s making a huge difference. It may be worth discussing with your PCP.
Even if you don’t want to shave and go with wigs full time, toppers are a great option! I bought one when my hair fall was at its worst, and it was a great confidence boost without the work associated with a full wig.
I’ve visited Antiga, Barbados, Dominica, Nassau, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts, St. Lucia, St. Maarten, St. Thomas, and Tortolla. They’re all quite different and offer unique opportunities.
Snorkeling, catamaran trips, and deep sea fishing will be fun in any of these places. Caribbean food is also delightful anywhere you go. Where specifically you want to go will depend on what you enjoy doing. Personally, I love to get out an explore nature, so Dominica, Puerto Rico, and St. Lucia have a lot of appeal to me.
Insects and other animals preserved in amber aren’t uncommon finds in the mineral collecting community. You could get a great specimen for under a hundred dollars depending on where you’re looking and when.
Don’t let your dreams stay dreams!
Yes, it’s a pet, but I disagree. These animals have very specific needs, so the fact that this girl found it alive and saved it in time is newsworthy. Goldfish are hardy and can become invasive. Axolotls don’t have those same advantages.
Most well cared for dogs and cats are euthanized when they are at the natural end of their lifespans and no longer have a good quality of life. Bodies grow old and die. It doesn’t matter how much money we invest in medical care, human or animal. At best it can buy a few more (often painful) months or years.
Euthanasia is most often chosen when life is no longer enjoyable for the patient. I think the moral question the OP is posing is why we offer this kind relief to companion animals and not have this option for ourselves.
Thank you! Bubblers were created and patented in Wisconsin, too, so I’m glad we are keeping the name alive.

Oh my gosh, this is so validating! A few different species of birds will flutter in front of the living room window when the feeders are empty to get my attention. They are smart little things!
I was just gifted a Switch 2 for my birthday, and Bonanza was what I was most looking forward to playing. I’m enjoying it a lot, but so far I’m glad I didn’t spend the money myself.
Rest in piss, scumbag.
When I’m making vegetable soup, I usually add some balsamic vinegar, tomato paste, and MSG. The acid and umami make the soup taste more balanced and hearty. I hope it’s helpful!
The question of how we make empathy universal isn’t the vapid question. Yours that I was responding to was.
Either way, if women can manage the hit in the balls empathy, surely you can figure this out, too, without a step-by-step pictorial diagram and someone to hold your hand.
If I knew how to make everyone empathetic we wouldn’t even need to be discussing this in the first place. What a vapid question.
The same way we trust that it’s really painful for men to get kicked in the junk without having to experience it ourselves.
Yeah, no. If you read my post, I was referencing dogs having an emergency (diarrhea, if I need to clarify further) and needing to go out. This isn’t an imaginary situation, and every dog owner I know has experienced having to clean up a mess because their well trained dog simply couldn’t hold it. It’s not a criticism, as anyone with stomach issues that doesn’t have access to a bathroom would have an accident, too. Cats rarely have this issue, because they have an indoor bathroom.
I don’t know why you took my post as idealizing cats and criticizing dogs, but that’s absolutely not the point of what I said.
I’m a cat person who appreciates dogs, and this is spot on. Cats may demand food, but you can wait out a tantrum.
The fear of having to potentially clean up an accidental means I’m up no matter what if the dogs are waking me up. I don’t like cleaning up these messes, and the dogs actively look like they feel bad watching me do it. We’re all having a bad time.
I’d much rather have a sleepy, half-hearted argument with my cats than worry I’m depriving one of the dogs of going outside if they’re having an emergency. Apples to oranges.
There are also free phone apps that generate lots of different ambient sounds. Finding those let me ditch fans for good, and I have my sweet, soothing sleep sounds anywhere I go.
I don’t know enough about your finances, medical insurance, and/or pain tolerance to answer that question.
This variant has a high mortality rate, no effective treatment, and can lie dormant in a person’s system for 40+ days. I think calling anyone exposed safe at this point is premature.
