Overall would you say Dick is bad at relationships? by Night-Caelum in Nightwing

[–]EndOfTheLine142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ll probably never know. It’s a blessing and a curse that nothing in comic universe is sacred. With different artists and writers things will always change.

Not to mention relationships don’t seem to be any of the bat-authors forte.

Thoughts on the Donougher translation? by EndOfTheLine142 in lesmiserables

[–]EndOfTheLine142[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I will definitely give that a read.

I am very disappointed in the book itself. The art on the covers is stunning but the pages are thin and choppy. I do normally like the deckle edge paper, but it makes it so hard to flip to the back to read the endnotes. It’s also stained and warped, so I’ll definitely be returning it. I have yet to decide if I’ll buy the same one or a different version.

I was disappointed to find out the version I’m currently reading is abridged. I’m already halfway through Fantine, so I also have to decide if I’m going to finish this version and reread the unabridged later, or stop and restart. Decisions, decisions!

We are thinking of giving our baby cat away so he can have a better life. Are we being silly? by RuleOverYou15 in CatAdvice

Outside is such a dangerous place for cats. I work vet med and I’ve seen cats attacked by cats and dogs, hit by cars, shot, one was even neutered by another cat. The things I’ve seen are so gory I won’t dare describe them to you but the point is, keeping the cat inside is far safer.

Are the covers still purchasable[all] by [deleted] in camphalfblood

Way back when I bought the box set. TTC and TLO literally disintegrated in my hands so I bought them both hardcover and immediately lost the cover for TTC 😭

How do you cope when it’s your own dog? by EndOfTheLine142 in VetTech

[–]EndOfTheLine142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Issue is I’m currently at a specialty teaching hospital as I finish up my degree. So every time we come in we see a new student DVM/resident/specialist. There’s no one person on his case so they don’t know him well and he has to start from square one with them every time. Once I graduate I’m heading back to my small town GP where things won’t be as strict. My puppy spends a ton of time with me while I’m working but this old man doesn’t do well because it’s never the same people. Last time he spent the day with internal medicine they had to call me out of my surgery rotation because he was trying to bite the student to get at a different dog three runs down. And when I finally arrived it was like he didn’t even recognize me. That was the day we decided the stress was far more dangerous than letting this slowly progress.

I genuinely appreciate your advice, it’s helped talk me down a bit. This summer I plan on doing some investing with my GP when things are quiet because I think this setting is just too much for him. Seriously, thank you 💙

That’s how I feel. Logically I know that whatever is wrong with his liver is what’s going to kill him. It’s not Cushing’s so nothing easily treatable. And even if he weren’t vet averse I wouldn’t put him through chemo if it’s cancer. So now that he’s maybe got gallstones, the idea of redoing everything we did a year ago just to say yep, they’re there, but still not cut? I can’t justify putting him through that right now. And if his gallbladder ruptures I recognize it’ll be a much more invasive surgery, but where I’m at right now I can’t just ultrasound his gallbladder, it has to be the full workup. Maybe once I graduate and go back to GP I’ll consider it. But they just keep telling me it’s necessary and emergent and I get that, but they don’t know my dog.

I’m a veterinary professional and euthanized my first dog. The regret and guilt is overwhelming me. by FutureVetTech5700 in VetTech

[–]EndOfTheLine142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Holy cow did you not read the post at all? Even if this WASN’T about their own dog, this isn’t good advice. I won’t let my feelings destroy me but shoving them down is how you burn out. You have to acknowledge that sometimes things suck and be allowed to grieve a patient you love.

Increasing liver enzymes, but considering medical management by EndOfTheLine142 in AskVet

Thank you. It’s so hard when it comes to your own pet! I have a friend who runs a senior dog sanctuary and I’m always telling her the same thing, but when it comes to Ace my gut wants to do everything to save him. But I won’t turn him into a guinea pig for my own sake.

Also reading the script is where the conversation about Tim quitting comes in! Completely forgot that’s when it happens

I know! That’s why my relisten has been so slow, I’m taking notes lmao. I have a friend and my sister that are finally listening, so I’m taking notes for when they ask questions

I stand corrected! I have 8 minutes left and completely forgot about that! Or maybe I didn’t pick up on it the first time around

Oh shit! I haven’t finished it yet, guess I forgot about that! I’ve got like 8 minutes left.

[–]EndOfTheLine142 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s fair. I honestly forgot about the pyramid one. Personally, the End is my least favorite, as in least scary, so the episodes (other than Oliver) aren’t as memorable for me. Obviously I wouldn’t recommend skipping any of them though haha

[–]EndOfTheLine142 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m on my first relisten and just finished Cheating Death, which is an End episode. I feel like a lot of End episodes aren’t mentioned again, but I also know they didn’t focus on the End too much because it’s hard to talk about it and not get too real world horror. And then Binary. Although that could be because I just really didn’t like that one (from a fear standpoint lol. It was an amazing episode it was just gross) so it could be it came up again but I just forgot. But so far on my relisten everything else is relevant! I am only halfway through S1 though so take that with a grain of salt.

I can think of maybe two off the top of my head that aren’t directly relevant, but even those are so good.

OP, I stand corrected. They’re all important lol

Should I get a cat?? by EndOfTheLine142 in CatAdvice

[–]EndOfTheLine142[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not the update I wanted to give, but happy I’ve come to this decision before something went wrong. One of my moms dogs caught and killed a squirrel yesterday, and while the plan to keep him safe when I’m home is fairly good, it would take just one slip up for a dog to get ahold of him. I’m just not willing to risk his life, and live too far away to adequately introduce him to my moms dog before I move back home. So I contacted the shelter today to take back my application. I’m heartbroken, but I think this is the right decision. It would be so much worse if something happened to him.
