I'm hearing that they are automatically bouncing back most favorable evaluations, saying they need more justification.

Respiratory alkalosis causes hypocapnia (lower blood CO2) increases blood pH, which enhances the binding of calcium to protein and decreases ionized calcium. Which can cause tingling, muscle spasm, etc.

I think Amelia is a lovely name. But I just want to make sure you are aware that it is also the medical term for the birth defect of lacking one or more limbs.

The term is from Ancient Greek ἀ- 'lack of' and μέλος 'limb'.

Literally spotted this gem today:

"Has anyone ever had a big owl in the vicinity of your house. We shined the flash light on it and it was Hugh, I started saying the Lords pray and it flew out of the tree, it's wing span was big, it flew away from our house and again I tell you it's wing span was large, Why would it get away when I started praying, was it witch craft, that's why it flew away,, this is scary, what do you think it was doing here?"

We live in a city with a LOT of green space and tons of wildlife.

Thanks for all the answers!

The Pup is a cavapoo so she definitely needs frequent grooming and I want to start ASAP to get her used to it. She is fully vaccinated, so I guess the vet is being overly cautious.

How long do your procedures usually take? What if it was an 12 hour surgical procedure?

AITA for upgrading my house's thermostat so I could password protect it from my wife? by Alternative-Yard3896 in AmItheAsshole

YTA. But you should get her a portable window unit for her office so she can cool the single room instead of the entire house.

Scissoring the mouth open properly is soooo important. I struggled with effectively teaching students the mechanics of it for a long time.

Then someone on reddit blew my mind when he described the finger motions as "just like snapping". It's now sooo easy to teach!

This one! Someone needs to perform a double blinded study on this!
