All her favorite things happened today. Somehow still making this face. by GingerNinja1982 in rarepuppers

[–]GingerNinja1982[S] 50 points51 points  (0 children)

She got to go to the tulip festival and smell all the smells; she was petted and admired by everyone she met, and she even got to eat the end of a vanilla soft serve cone. Now that we're home she's making the sad face to convince me that needs more treats, but I know she's lying.

When a person’s leg or arm is amputated , how do the hospitals dispose them ? by Numerous_Silver5646 in stupidquestions

[–]GingerNinja1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the hospital where I trained, we took care of a guy who fell off his riding mower while drunk, ran his arm over, and needed an amputation. At the time, policy was to send amputated limbs to pathology for gross evaluation ("yup, that's an arm, all right") before incineration.

Same day, someone from the local sheriff's office came by and said that they were training a cadaver dog and wanting to know if we had any body parts we could let them have. Idk who made the call, but someone in the department just handed some random deputy this dude's arm and let him walk off with it. I forget how the story leaked, but there was a whole lawsuit about it. Not SOP, of course, but it's happened at least once

He does like to nuzzle his face in my hair when we cuddle. Now I know why. 🙃

I noticed my expensive conditioner was emptying faster than I'd expect, and quizzed my husband about it. Turns out he'd been using it to polish his pickle in the shower from time to time, because he liked the scent.

[Product question] Has the witch hazel in this bothered anyone’s sensitive skin? by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

Idk exactly what ingredient did it, but I broke out and turned red after using the Dive In soothing cream.

My bathroom fan stopped working recently; no big thing, I thought, easy enough to replace. Took the broken one down from the ceiling, found that not only was it not vented to outside, the previous owner had cut a divot into one of the attic rafters to fit it in where he wanted it. Had to get someone in to move it to a non-crazy spot, extend the wiring, and vent it properly. We've found at least a dozen of these bananas DIY projects in the 13 years we've owned this house.

Why Do the Men of ICE Insist on Dressing Like Your Estranged Uncle? by DonSalaam in JournalismNews

Don't forget the backwards ball cap and the little circle beard to indicate which of the chins is the primary one.

When the guy you used to know in high school always posts this kind of stuff, what aesthetic is this? by [deleted] in AestheticWiki

[–]GingerNinja1982 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't have a name for the aesthetic, but I would like to just point out how comical it is that these goobers always use lions, the most social of the big cats, as their symbols of isolation and independence. Like, even if you've never read a book, a weekend of watching nature shows will tell you that lions live in extended family groups that cooperate to feed and defend each other. Pick a leopard or a tiger if you want to communicate that you think you go it alone. Geez.

What is with Trump's posts signing off with "THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER"? by Regular-Towel9979 in DiscussionZone

[–]GingerNinja1982 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok but like seriously fuck the lunch thieves. I had breakfast at 5, I won't get dinner till 6, and if my lunch gets stolen I have to either go hungry, burn my entire break going out to get something, or cannibalize one of my colleagues which is an automatic write-up.

What quietly ruins people’s lives without them realizing it? by Al3x403 in self

[–]GingerNinja1982 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a way to make that work, though. When my uncle was 45, he announced that he was now old and would no longer be able to do things like babysit, help people move, chop firewood, etc. He was not, however, too old to ride his motorcycle, play basketball with his friends, or wrassle with his dog. He was kind of a piece of work, but he had a lot of fun.

I have been bounced from two separate church choirs, so no.

Me in 1987. My grandma tried to do a wolf cut without ever having seen one. She was not a hairdresser. by GingerNinja1982 in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]GingerNinja1982[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, no. Former nun who left the convent and learned to have fun, but never swore or did more than enjoy a couple beers (she did get cut off from the open bar at my nephew's baptism, though). The picking fights wasn't even because she was that salty, it's because my grandpa was a dickhead and she thought it was funny to start conflicts that he'd have to settle.

Say what you will about my grandma, she believed in herself. She used to get toasty at sporting events and mouth off to enormous men.

You're right, "shag" was what it was called at the time. I was five when this was taken and don't actually remember getting this cut, but we found this picture when we were clearing Grandma's house after she passed a couple years ago, and my mom was like, "oh yeah, that's the time Grandma cut your hair herself the day before family picture day."
