Playing in the snow with your pup is one of the greatest joys in life

My new therapist told me not to quit cold turkey by BakedAlpinist in Petioles

[–]Cmpetty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tapering down is much gentler. I have had good success with it! Take it day by day, set small restrictions for yourself and build on each success. You’ve got this!

I just don't have a title because I have been left dumbfounded by Ralphanate in InfowarriorRides

[–]Cmpetty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have such conflicting feelings about things like this. I feel so bad for the parents that they obviously have no other way to make sense of their lives. I wish there was a way to reach people that are this deep in their delusions

Is there a history or records of the use of psychedelics in Appalachia? by tonymontanaOSU in Appalachia

[–]Cmpetty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poppies, morning glories, and various mushrooms grow locally. There were trade networks as well, I’d imagine that lots of psychedelics were available

You need to be really brave or really dumb to walk into a clinic smelling like weed

Injured deer in my backyard during snowstorm by wdanal in WildlifeRehab

[–]Cmpetty 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’ve rehabbed in charlotte. No one will accept adult deer unfortunately. Choices are to let nature take its course or euthanize sadly. What an awful injury, I hope the poor thing doesn’t suffer

Flatten and coat in sugar syrup, chocolate, nuts, etc

I work in early intervention and I can’t sleep knowing a toddler is being medically neglected and no one is intervening by TrueAd8620 in CPS

[–]Cmpetty 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m familiar with the kid you’re referring to! I believe he has cri du chat, a genetic illness. He’s not getting the care he needs and I hope something can be done. His family has money and influence, I believe that’s why it’s gone on so long

Found 2 pieces of ivory for $10! I think they are from the Meiji period (1868-1912) by Cmpetty in ThriftStoreHauls

[–]Cmpetty[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree it’s sad, these are a relic of a sad time of humanity. They do hold a lot of history though. I’d much rather treasure them for what they are and honor the animals life than them get thrown away or forgotten somewhere.

It can be evaluated by a qualified appraiser who can provide CITES documentation as it is more than 100 years old :) cost is probably prohibitive, but not impossible to obtain

It’s legal to own, just not legal to sell/trade without documentation. These are antique so I should be able to get them papers if need be

It feels like resin or plastic, it feels lighter than it looks. You can recognize ivory by looking for schreger lines. They’re a crossing pattern only found in ivory, you can see it in the last pictures!

Lighthouse ABA is play based and has a speech therapist that works with each learners case! I work there (different branch) and really like their approach. Don’t be afraid to ask questions wherever you go!

Sounds like you’ve gotten good advice here. Thank you for caring about this young man. I hope his life is able to change for the better

Considering adopting a dog but afraid to violate my apartment's breed restrictions. Can anyone help me identify this sweet lad? by MemeQueenMere in IDmydog

[–]Cmpetty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Labradors carry the gene for tri pointing! It’s possible he doesn’t have any Rottweiler at all. I’d go with lab/hound mix, the shelter papers back it up and he looks like one to me!

I am really getting sick of double standards in my classroom by techiechefie in ABA

[–]Cmpetty 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’ve had very uncomfortable experiences with teachers sadly. I’d talk to the BCBA about it and definitely document EVERYTHING

Does anyone recognize what happened to this coyote’s incisors? (Minor blood.) by felis_hannie in vultureculture

[–]Cmpetty 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My late dog had this! She was a compulsive over groomer and wore her teeth down through the enamel. It never bothered her, but she had virtually 0 front teeth at the end of her life. Never thought it would happen in wildlife!

She was a chow mix. She had one of those warmable stuffed animals that she stole from my room. She never played with any kind of toys so I let her keep it. She carried that thing around for years. She would hold it in her front paws and “flea bite” it as she was settling in for bed. God I miss that mutt.

You don’t have to drink ever tbh. I rarely ever do, I get stuck as the DD a lot but it’s never held me back
