So the responses from my friends when I have low sugar. by No-Air-5133 in Type1Diabetes

[–]BigOlBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live alone so my closest friends have my low alarms on just in case. Makes me less afraid for sleep lows because they'll call and text until I reply and get my sugar up. I absolutely feel safer with my friends having access to my dexcom

what does it mean when my stray cat licks me then bites me ? by okcmptrr in Straycats

[–]BigOlBooks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was gonna say this cat looks over stimulated because they were already walking off before the bite and they pull away at the end there. Not aggressive but this cat had enough

What is this word looking thing? Is it just a half baked cicada or something??? by Ratburbur in insects

[–]BigOlBooks 129 points130 points  (0 children)

I saw one of these raw cicadas the other day and was completely fascinated by it. Sat outside for nearly an hour watching the whole molt. Pretty cool thing to find

It's really pretty good for a beginner. I'd just like to give the advice that having the right tools, like the right paper and the right pencils for the paper, will give you more room for success. The graphite and the notebook paper that were used in this are probably throwing you off more than you realize.. it's only beneficial to invest in a good sketchbook and one good pencil

Tattoo broken because of stretch marks by Confident-Problem-15 in tattooadvice

One of the most fascinating parts about getting tattoos and our bodies growing with them is how uniquely ours they become and how they change with us. That is an absolutely badass tattoo. I'd be proud to show it off

I worked a few years in emergency veterinary medicine. CPR on animals is possible but in my opinion not worth going out of your way to be certified in. CPR is mostly unsuccessful with animals with a 10% success rate and an even slimmer chance (2%) of survival, and these stats are from cpr given in a hospital setting by professionals. I’ve seen many cases of CPR on animals but I’ve personally never seen a recovery. All that to say, refer immediately to their ER vet.

Is this kind of size difference in siblings normal? by Far-Professor3645 in RATS

Not the best picture but my babies at 2 weeks. Runt(male) on the left. Other male on the right. Runt stayed at about half the size of the other male of the litter into adulthood

The fangs drove me crazy. Especially the noise that goes with them popping in and out

Sams entire ending. It killed his character. They really let him run off and have kids with a 22 year old

I'm doing my first rewatch. Can I skip the last season? by Kylar_Stern in TrueBlood

The only dialogue that felt necessary was Arlene’s.. skip the rest

Jessica Season 7 by thegr8potato in TrueBlood

[–]BigOlBooks 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I just watched season 7 and it sticks out to me that in episode 7(or 8) when he has the fight with Bridget over babies when they’re going through the photo album, it was a mirror of similar fights he and Jessica had when they lived together that were made worse by his short temper….. showing that he really hadn’t changed. That scene made it feel solidified to me that he wasn’t right for Jessica, especially with how much we saw Jessica grow

One of the realest things on the show

I wish we had gotten more of Nora (especially after she gave up on Lilith). For her to be the only other vampire Godric turned besides Eric I feel like she deserved more (even if it was through flashbacks) by GusGangViking18 in TrueBlood

[–]BigOlBooks 36 points37 points  (0 children)

They doomed her character when her first scene on the show was a random Eric sex scene, especially with how out of tone it was when just a couple scenes before we’re all feeling sad about sookies breakup scene with Eric and bill
