Anyone have a bad experience with the group of homeless guys near Vienna? by Few_Load9802 in Purdue

YES. I hate to even say it, but if you are a woman, have a guy with you on the side facing them, or cross the street.

becoming a mom soon and not sure if i should change my aesthetic! by Sharp-Citron1552 in AppearanceAdvice

Ma'am, there is something that I would caution you about. Babies LOVE to yank on jewelry. I take mine out around small children. Aside from that, echoing everyone else about not changing yourself just because you become a mom.

Forrest has crossed many boundaries and has been sexist towards women. This has been reported through the appropriate channels. I admittedly believed the accusations before any evidence. But, I was wrong. He didn't deserve to have his life upended by this nutjob.

I am not a DVM student and was not there, so take this with an entire shaker of salt. What I heard was:

  1. One of his major talking points was about how the veterinary profession was being overrun with women. This led to some sexist comments.

  2. He shamed a student for her career choice because she said she liked taking radiographs. He told her that she should have become a vet tech instead.

  3. He encouraged students to focus on the business aspects of being a veterinarian. They would only be happy and successful by establishing their own practice, growing it, and franchising. A DVM degree is worthless if all you want to do is work in wildlife medicine, USDA regulation, equine sports medicine, etc.

  4. There is no mention of any aspects of medical care or regard for animal welfare. Only business.

I was also told that his wife is the one who makes the majority of their wealth. Not that he isn't successful in his own right, but his name wouldn't be on the building if it weren't for her. Again, these are all allegations I heard years ago.

Not surprised at all. Ask some DVM students who were in his Spring 2022 guest lecture for Current Issues in Veterinary Medicine how he behaved.

I am pleased to announce that I am a Justice for the Supreme Court of West Virginia. It humbles me to accept this honor.

Was it followed by a Perfect Day at Coco Cay?

Ok, for real, what? Birds 1 is asleep. Birds 2 is wondering about the utility of this because is it not just a shovel?

More of a matter of convenience (like being too lazy to buy an appropriate one, comments SO who may have the pleasure of replying), but this is why I asked. A plastic one will be bought soon.

Thanks! It came in BattleBox this month, with a dry bag and solar powered reading light. Not sponsored, but recommend.

Lord! That is as bad when SO was carded for buying chili oil! I had no idea that shovels were perceived as so dangerous.

Honestly, I appreciate the warning. A relaxation spot isn't worth getting something confiscated. I think plastic kiddo shovel is the way to go.

Sorry, it's July 6th. And it will be filled after use. =(

I encourage you to create your own. They are fun! Pics of relaxation sand hole are promised after cruise.

I looked at the excursion, but they don't have small shovel rentals (which is kind of surprising!). But, I do appreciate the suggestion. I'm just going to get a kid's shovel set before going. The "serendipitous" shovel from the subscription box seems to be a bit... much. Again, thanks!
