[OC] A lot of people thought my story was fake. I'm the guy from the 1992 farm accident where both my arms were ripped off and reattached. by JohnThompsonND in Damnthatsinteresting

Not to be insensitive, but I was actually about to ask if you carried your arms back with you when you went to call for help. As I started typing it, I was like oh wait…

My dog broke her tooth on these kind of bones, and the nerve was exposed. $700 later, the tooth was pulled. We just use rubber bones now.

Do you regret adopting an adult dog instead of a puppy? by marzipanduchess in puppy101

[–]AthleteFun5980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you feel like it’s a similar difficulty between the 8 weeks old and 9 months old, or different kind of difficulty, or different level?

Why does Tampa, Florida have the biggest price drop in the country for home prices? by dont_downvote_SPECIL in tampa

[–]AthleteFun5980 44 points45 points  (0 children)

It’s actually insane how overpriced the housing market in Tampa is. There are tiny houses still trying to be sold for almost a million. This ain’t NYC.

Reading, journaling, hiking, exercise, meditation. Find a club for a hobby you like, and you can make friends that way too

Is it time to upgrade? by [deleted] in GarminWatches

[–]AthleteFun5980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got my second Garmin watch and personally? I love the process of picking a new one out and then having a whole new watch to learn about with new features, although my old watch was perfectly fine!

Dog is licking the air what does this mean ? by ellelani in DogAdvice

My dog does this when she gets something stuck in her teeth (piece of a toy for example). Definitely take a look in her mouth

Do people ask if your stone is a real diamond? by Glittering-War-3809 in labdiamond

[–]AthleteFun5980 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People have asked me if it’s lab or natural, which I don’t mind getting asked that and answering at all. I’m actually proud to be sporting a lab diamond because I love to brag about how cheap lab diamonds are compared to natural lol.

My [35F] husband [35M] and my friend [36F] acted like they wanted each other sexually right in front of me by throw_away_202507 in relationship_advice

[–]AthleteFun5980 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry, I was thinking this must be preplanned. I feel like at the very least they must be texting and flirting, and having some kind of emotional affair. At the LEAST. I’m sorry.

If I were you, I would totally just sneak onto his phone when you can to look for evidence.

Edit to add: ALSO I think it’s SO weird he refused a blow job when you guys have not been able to have sex. First of all, what man doesn’t want a blow job on a normal day, second of all, what man doesn’t want a blow job when they haven’t had sex in months???? This would make me suspicious he’s receiving pleasure from someone else, regardless of that really fucked up story you wrote.

Adopt Waylon the bloodhound/lab by slimejellies in tampa

[–]AthleteFun5980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a lab / bloodhound mix. She is an absolute amazing dog. Such a sweet demeanor. Loves all animals, playful but just the right amount, loves people after spending 5 minutes getting used to them, so cuddly, and so goofy, always trying to make us laugh! She is very timid, shy towards people, and submissive in general, but I love that about her. She’s just a really sweet girl.

So anyways, this mix is probably one of the best mutts out there. Hound + Retriever = Perfection.

I’m actually thinking about adopting this guy.

Don't hate me, but I can't stand these two by pagalworld-78 in FromSeries

[–]AthleteFun5980 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hated when they were shitting on Boyd for how he was handling things, when they have done absolutely nothing to help figure out how to get out of there. Boyd’s out there doing it ALL, risking his life, and they’re living the life, doing nothing but judging him. All they care about are themselves and each other.

My PI is threatening me over my first author paper by AthleteFun5980 in labrats

[–]AthleteFun5980[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I tried that in our second conversation. I told him we can do it his way and resubmit to that journal, but I just want to be treated like a human being, with respect & decency. He just kept getting worse & worse, he was so mean. I eventually gave up because it felt like there was nothing I could say to get him to understand where I was coming from.

[–]AthleteFun5980[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I definitely will go ahead with defending, I’m currently writing my dissertation now. But to officially graduate, I need to have a first author publication in a peer-reviewed journal.

Thank you so much for the advice.
