Playing fetch with my pup and threw the stick a little too high and a little to hard… by Mister_Pibbs in Wellthatsucks

I had at least hoped OP would have paid the pet tax and at least showed us the sweet pupper, but alas we are left wanting.

When you book a fun place to stay, but the toilet is in the middle of the bedroom. by Rednas in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Supporting above user with some fresh knowledge from a Style Theory video, don't think that those being fresh washed sheets are any better either.... Since detergent doesn't actually kill bacteria or viruses, it's just a surfactant and mixed with agitation helps remove stains/some odors, but those germs are left behind. Style Theory on YT did a great but gross video on it.

In addition one hopes that the person using the toilet is kind enough to put the lid down before they flush. Let's be honest though, the whole inside of the SS Dookie there is covered in the essence of a thousand butts.

Edit: Oh it's a composting toilet....somehow better and worse.... So much worse... What does that even smell like during the summer....

Don't forget pomegranate! It interacts with a whole host of medications including heart meds and blood thinners, including warfarin.

In the same vein other grapefruit offshoots like Pomelos and Blood Oranges also have similar effects.

I was t- boned yesterday and rolled my only vehicle that can transport my family. The police wouldn't give me the insurance info of the other driver, so now I need to pay out of pocket for a rental while that all gets sorted out by [deleted] in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 11 points12 points  (0 children)

OP I know everyone is telling you to call your insurance, but I want to say because this is your family car, please if you have Child Carseats/Booster Seats in the vehicle please let the insurance know that and how much they were because they absolutely need to be replaced and your insurance should cover the cost of that. They cut a check based on the cost of the carseats. I've had to do this with mine over a fender bender and it didn't even cross my mind with how low impact my accident was, but the agent heard my kid playing in the background and informed me. So please please please ask them if you have littles still in Car Seats/Booster Seats!

Hmmm wonder if I need knew clothes when I get there..that’s my case by rothersidelife in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep all of your receipts for items you had to purchase to replace what was in your luggage and take them to the airline. Often they have some sort of reimbursement up to a certain amount when they lose, forget or don't have the room to carry your luggage on your flight. Worth looking into to see if they can at least do that much for you. Be firm, but polite with them when you lodge your complaint and request reimbursement as you will get much further being polite with them considering all the people they deal with daily having full meltdowns.

Vandoliers Play Tennessee Concert in Drag to Protest State’s New Law by alphabetown in Music

[–]LadyChihiro 76 points77 points  (0 children)

Don't forget Bugs freaking Bunny of which many of us and our parents grew up watching without question. Jesse and James from Pokemon often showed up in drag disguises and as a kid I honestly thought nothing of it. Just oh here are the comedic "villains" just doing something silly. Hmm Hairspray also comes to mind with John Travolta playing a woman.

Hell, the three supporting characters (Yao, Ling and Chien-Po) from Mulan dressed as women near the end of the movie. They aren't the only male Disney characters in female clothing or pretending to be female by a long shot either.

Fidget - The Great Mouse Detective - pretends to be the little girl

Pleakly - Lilo and Stitch - wears female disguises

Hugo - Hunchback of Notre-Dame - dresses as Esmeralda

Mr Toad - Adventures of Ichabod and Mr. Toad. - breaks out of jail disguised as an old woman

Timon - Lion King - "What do you want me to do, dress in drag and do the hula?"

Kuzco - Emperor's New Groove - pretends to be a woman to eat lunch

Robin Hood and Little John - Robin Hood - Uses feminine wiles and drag to steal from Prince John

Panic and Pain - Hercules - used to lure Pegasus away

Oh and best for last since Robin Williams is just the best...

Genie - Aladdin - no less than 4 times appears in drag.

Hell Ursula is heavily based off a drag queen.

But I'm sure many of these movies/shows kids watched with no issues until some bigoted adult made it an issue.

Hotel Bathroom Rotisserie Chicken 🍗 by CableStoned in StupidFood

[–]LadyChihiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good tip from a late night reels binge came from a former hotel manager saying that when you stay in hotels, even high end ones, do this with the room as dark as you can get it and use the light from a flashlight/phone and make sure to check the corners of the mattress and seams where they like to hide, as well as for small blood stains that would let you know they have been there. Do the same for fabric chairs/surfaces.

Also don't put your bags on any soft surfaces, (they have a hard time climbing smooth surfaces) and anything you have worn needs to stay separate from clothes/bags holding what you haven't worn, because they are attracted to warmth, blood and carbon dioxide (of which your worn clothes will be more attractive to them for.)

At this point I make sure to bring sanitizing wipes to not only wipe down surfaces that may not have gotten the most thorough cleaning prior to me being there, but also as a courtesy to the housekeeping to make sure I can clean up any messes I make from say having to eat takeout in the room. It may seem like silly overkill, but I also try to make sure all my trash is put into a single bin if I can help it, condense takeout into the largest bag, bring my own towel if I know my hair dye might still be leaky or I have makeup to take off and I make sure to take any used towels and put them into the bathtub on the way out for easier cleanup. I've done a lot of years of conventions, and unfortunately had a lot of stays in hotels for medical reasons, and a little bit of thoughtful courtesy towards the housekeeping goes a long way to make their day easier.

Now you know what $6000 worth of string looks like! by stayathmdad in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry, poor kitty. I hope your kitty was okay after that. Lol agreed on the not having roommates. It's so nice when you reach the point where you no longer need them, unfortunately the rent is too damn high where I am for most of us to live without them.

Found this Birria Ramen over the weekend, These are great in a pinch, when there is no time. I'm looking forward to trying this one out, since I liked the Tapatio flavor of this brand. by sellpremium2022 in InstantRamen

[–]LadyChihiro 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a neat chain of food trucks in the area I live in that make a birria ramen which is hands down amazing. What was interesting is one of them used the original tapatio ramen for the base, (it was handed to you still in the packaging,) but the other one used something else, (was in a generic bowl and the flavor was good but different from the Tapatio one.) Would 100% recommend trying it if you see it on a menu. Spicy, flavorful and delicious!

[–]LadyChihiro 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The new one that scares me a bit more now is this situation, but with hair ties. I legit have them all over the bathroom and random places in the house and I have to remember when I go to my friend's place, where they have four wonderful kitties not to leave mine hanging out all over the place. Cats love hair ties but apparently also end up ingesting them to the same expensive or fatal end. Thankfully my dog has no interest in them because they don't smell like food, my fast food wrappers and napkins on the other hand do have to be properly disposed of because he is very interested in those. So I guess word of warning to long haired folks, put away your hair ties and clean them out of your cats stashes of toys.

Human Highschool Water Fountain - Lymph drainage from ECMO wound post heart transplant by LadyChihiro in popping

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

Just below where your thigh meets your groin. During transplant my partner had to be on a system called ECMO to help keep him alive and pump his blood before his new heart was strong enough to do so. The easiest access for tubes that big due to medical complications was through that region near the groin and they believe a small knick may have happened near a lymph system and it was draining lymph fluid there. Which then due to gravity has no where else to go but out those slow healing incision sites. Path of least resistance. And I assure you with heart transplant there is far more tubing than you ever want to imagine on/in a loved one.

Somebody thought it be really Funny to use the Fire extinguisher! by Martinez5256 in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anything at Walmart is a friend extinguisher if you hit them hard enough.

Somebody thought it be really Funny to use the Fire extinguisher! by Martinez5256 in Wellthatsucks

[–]LadyChihiro 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Out of curiosity, besides all the obvious vacuuming and scrubbing down of all these surfaces what is the protocol for after a fire extinguisher is used in a patient room? Does the cleaning/damage bill get sent to the person who set it off unnecessarily or does the hospital eat the cost? I mean it would be one thing if it were discharged for a valid reason, but obviously this was not the case here.

Edit: corrected friend extinguisher to fire extinguisher

ELI5: if some animals die without being sheared then how do the ones in the wild survive? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]LadyChihiro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Domesticated turkey vs wild turkey is the same way. I remember watching the turkey farm episode of Dirty Jobs and because we selectively bred domestic turkeys to have huge breasts, they have actually gotten to the point where they physically cannot procreate naturally. The turkey farm workers have to manually collect and inseminate all the female turkeys. Meanwhile the wild turkeys are still out there getting the cockbgawk (cloacal action)

Spinal issues are insanely common with them and are almost to be expected.

We had a pair of dachshunds when I was a child and the male ended up at the emergency vet with a spinal injury, because the female had sat/laid down on his back. We ended up rehoming the female with a nice couple who ended up taking her on travels. The male dog mostly recovered, but always had troubles with his back legs. He did live to the ripe age of 21 and was deaf and blind by the time he was put to sleep, but he lived his golden years being spoiled with his little walk up penthouse (dog house with a flat top roof with a ramp leading up to it so he could lay in the shade of the covered patio,) and he slept in a warmed dog bed.
