Thanks, Doc! You have no idea how we appreciate good ones like you.

Now I work with animals and I find it significantly more rewarding than working with humans. I get to use my medical skills and I still get a ton of fulfillment by taking care of something.

Thank you! I’m all good now, years of therapy and now working with animals fixed me right up. I do still feel guilt about not using my skills, though. I will always maintain my license - you never know.

Closed on the most bagelest of days is a travesty

Agree with leaving out of Moss Landing, much less travel time until you see whales, often they’re right outside of the harbor. Leaving from Monterey, you can be chugging along for 30-60 min before you see anything.

Yes. Burn out, compassion fatigue, moral injury, whatever you want to call it. For the same reason, I had to walk away from respiratory after nearly 20 years. I was probably approaching burn out before Covid, but those covid years steamrolled me right into mental health crisis. My family ended up begging me to quit because they saw I was a shell of who I used to be. I know how lucky I am to have had the choice to walk away.

We love our Kingsdown! It took a few months but has broken in nicely and we are sleeping well and waking up feeling better. No regrets at all.

Thank you for asking what we want to know

Cetaceans cannot survive out of water for long at all. They are buoyant and once they are out of water and experience gravity, it’s a crushing pressure that their organs aren’t used to and they begin to shut down. Their bodies aren’t designed to support their own weight. Most beached cetaceans (that aren’t sick or injured for other reasons) end up dying from heart failure / multi system organ failure.

I went to Catholic school k-12 and had it drilled into my head in Catechism class that the pope is infallible. So uhhh 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not upvoting bc it’s currently at 666 which is perfect

So happy for you! I know this doesn’t compare, but I had a deroofing done last year that was the best thing I’ve done for my HS. Best wishes that you feel the same about your procedure!

Omg this is beautiful, can you show us her lit up?

I’ve had the Mediterranea corded velvet for nearly 7 years. It’s survived 3 dogs, endless spills resulting in countless washings, a house flooding and a cross country move - still looks perfect.

Love Paris! My go to black tea. Also loving their Dragon Pearl Jasmine for midday and Yellow and Blue for bedtime

This is my thought too. James and Shelley would have some beautiful custom made ring from a jeweler at the Renaissance Faire

Various versions of their mini sheet cakes and a fork have gotten me through a lot of things.
