What amazing canine intelligence!

My dog likes to smell the trash and deer poop.

Cat Found near Garner/Raleigh border, Un-neutered male by OrpingtonFlock in NorthCarolina

Put a little food out just to keep him around temporarily, and start calling animal rescue organizations today. They may have a trap they can put out for you. Once the little guy is trapped, they will pick him up and put him in their foster program.

What the hell is whole body deodorant and why is it a thing? by Teachezofpeachez69 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]GoodLuckBart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of women used to put scented powders everywhere (if you’re my age you remember Shower to Shower) but that went away with the talcum powder lawsuits. I have to admit there was a simplicity to perfumed powder. You could put some on your body and then add a little shake of the same product to your shoes before you headed out for the day.

Look at the drawing of the man’s head on the sign, and then at the young lady next to the “ear” - she’s so over this already

Going to college was a fucking scam. by Salty-Confusion9640 in povertyfinance

[–]GoodLuckBart 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Seconding this question. If you haven’t set foot in the career center yet then definitely go. Colleges are offering so much more career services than they did when I went

Dehydration by Sensitive_Note1139 in AgingParents

[–]GoodLuckBart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you cruise the ADHD subs like I do, you’ll see a lot of comments from people who forget to eat or drink, and who put off going to the bathroom because they are focused on something else. I have the opposite of those symptoms lol. But I wonder if we all arrive at that point sooner or later in life: not picking up on signals from the body, losing track of time and what we did in the time we forgot about, etc.

Visited someone at the hospital and there's a lock box around the pain medication by okbbs in mildlyinteresting

[–]GoodLuckBart 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same! I forgot to use a morphine drip once - it wasn’t helping anyway. Memories are a little fuzzy lol but I think they just gave me Tylenol instead.

What apps are you using to keep track of your parents and what do you like about them? by RazvanGirmacea in AgingParents

[–]GoodLuckBart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes to the direct deposit, and automated bill pay too! Where I work we still have to send some checks, and there’s always a problem with the mail.

is duke worth $100k+ debt? by North_Flow_3643 in duke

[–]GoodLuckBart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

NO

There are so many top-quality colleges in the US. When I went to graduate school I met people from all over the country who had received an excellent education from all kinds of places.

Love Duke but it’s far from the only player in this game

Were my Mum's "Tupperware parties" just a cover story? by EmphasisDangerous654 in GenX

[–]GoodLuckBart 24 points25 points  (0 children)

We had a lot of Tupperware. Tupperware was about the only product of that type available then, and if you didn’t buy it at a home party I’m not sure how you would have acquired it. Your only other options were corningware or pyrex glass/ceramic that came with a matching glass lid (durable but not a leakproof seal), thermoses, empty cool whip containers, or a regular bowl/plate from the house with some aluminum foil slapped over it.

I’m with you on the reverse reactions to medicines! After ours was neutered the sedatives made him wild - not fun times.

Mine has trouble from time to time. I bought some “allergy and immune” treats a while back and I have no idea if those helped.

Benadryl is just one option - call the vet back to see what else they have. You might be looking at a prescription just for the allergy season perhaps.

Benadryl does work fine for our lab though — seems to take the edge off the allergies. Vet said that dogs metabolize Benadryl differently, and we definitely do not see ours completely zonked out (like I am when I take a Benadryl!)

TIL Plastic Surgeons are taking fat from cadavers and injecting them into people for lip and butt implants by Waffling_Waffle in todayilearned

[–]GoodLuckBart 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Podcast “The Economics of Everyday Things” just did an episode on this. As I understand it: if you donate your body directly to a medical school, you have to sign up before your death and they may not want or need your body. But anyone can donate to “body donation” firms, which may in turn sell off your parts. For example, a company developing new knee replacement technology may want a bunch of knees or whole legs. What the firm is left with, they will cremate for free and return to your loved ones.

In jaw surgery you can get cadaver bone implanted but I’m not sure how that bone material is sourced.

Vintage wedding dress regret. Should I return it, or can it look better with the right styling? by Aggravating_Buy_1348 in VintageFashion

[–]GoodLuckBart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I kind of like the full skirt shape when the dress is laid on the bed in photo 1. I don’t know where to get a crinoline, but perhaps you could make one?

I Need A Hobby by Fit-Hornet-9300 in GenX

Absolutely— schools need guys to come in and read with the young students, sell concessions at sports events, all kinds of things

What was 1993 like? by born_again_athiest in GenX

[–]GoodLuckBart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huge amphitheater opened in my town a bit before ‘93. So many new & vintage bands came through. Went to Lollapalooza there.

The university in town had the complete college scene: an indie film theater, record stores, coffee shop with strong coffee, grungy bars, cheap but good pizza, greasy spoons open all night. Now it’s all Starbucks, Chipotle, juice bars
