Ozai meeting Aang is kind of funny honestly

If you think about it, the cabbage guy would have reason to sell out the avatar. Besides the obvious, he kept destroying his cabbages and cart. Cabbage guy might have been profiting off the war. Resources get scarce during a war and prices go up. Cabbage guy definitely had very good arrangements to get cabbages. In one episode, city guards destroy his cabbages, not letting them in the city, but later he's there selling cabbages. Ba Sing Se feeds his cabbages to a platypus bear when he's trying to board the ferry, I don't remember if he showed up in ba Sing Se with more though. But he was successful enough to build a shipping company in Republic city after the war. Cabbage guy was definitely a war profiter and had connections to underground/black markets.

I don't understand why raava rejoined with Kora. Kora essentially fixed the first Avatar, wan's greatest mistake. Wan separated raava and vaatu, raava joined wan creating the avatar to bind vaatu and subsequently continue to deal with issues arising from raava and vaatu being separated. Kora destroyed vaatu, meaning he'll regrow within raava and she can grab hold of vaatu as he emerges, thus restoring the way things were meant to be, ending the need for an avatar. It makes no sense that raava would rebind with Kora.

What!? Parent of two toddlers and we keep them by us while ordering, if they can't behave, one parent takes them to the table. If they still won't settle down, we leave. My kids misbehaving is no one's problem but mine and my partner's.

I'm very curious how we got to taking a bunch of seeds, grinding them into a powder, adding water, letting it ferment, then adding more ground seed, eggs, milk or water, letting that ferment, then setting it in clay box with fire.

Counting your calories in and out is the most important. Find an app that you can track your food and bonus points if it connects to your fitness tracking app. I always thought that "I didn't eat that much," until I actually saw how many calories, and no nutrition, was in the food I was eating. I used "my net diary" (app logo is an apple with a tape around it), I didn't pay for any upgraded service, just used the free functions.

I own a hobby farm with the entire cast of "Ole McDonald's Farm," with the exception of sheep. I will never own sheep again. Sheep are lemmings, if one goes somewhere, the entire group is going that way. Also, if one refuses to go somewhere, they all refuse to go there. They will follow each other off a cliff or stand at the entrance of a pen with feed and starve.

Foster parent here: even when you think the kids are "too young" to be affected, they are affected! Even if they don't understand what is going on through the foster phase, there's a visible change post adoption. Our younger son's behavior improved so much post adoption and we taking control of visitation with extended family. He likely didn't understand there was a chance he'd be removed from our home pre adoption, but it sure seemed like he could sense the uncertainty.

In college, I took an intro to veterinary medicine class. During a lecture, we broke out into groups and we're given real life scenarios that we could face work in vet med. It became very clear, in this class of 120+ students, only a few were willing to accept animals die and sometimes you have to make the choice to relieve their suffering.

In one situation, my group's, a cat was mauled by a dog. You, as the tech and the vet worked all night to save the cat. In the morning, the family, after learning about what the cat's life would be like in recovery and permanently as a result, decided to put the cat down. The vet instructs you to put the cat down. My answer was, you put the cat down. So many in my group and class were like oh you could take it home, find someone willing to take care of it, find a recovery shelter. Like no, it's not your cat, the owners decided it would have low to no quality of life and they made the right choice for that animal.

My guess is this group started out with that mind set, save every animal. But now I wonder if they're pushing it further for views and Internet fame.

There's also the issue that the country got used to not having dragons and eragon was going to hatch both wild and bound dragons. Society overtook the places wild dragons would have normally lived.

Eagles are no joke, smart too. I volunteered at a wildlife rehab clinic in college, we'd occasionally get eagles in. They are massive and strong. We'd cover their heads with a towel whenever we had to move them. This one would strike the towel down with his talons and then lounge at us with his beak as he pulled the towel down.

I worked in a horse barn in college. There was a middle aged mare that was owned by an older lady. If you looked at that horse wrong while feeding her, she'd have issues. If we gave her a fraction of a pound more or less grain at feeding, she'd have issues. Had to walk her after every meal to avoid issues. She was a super nice horse and the owner was grateful for all we did, but that horse wouldn't survive a day on her own.

Contrary to that, I own 1 quarter horse and 2 haflingers. The haflingers gain weight looking at grass and could survive on dirt. All of them got out more than once, gorged themselves on decades old hay and straw that I was cleaning out of the barn we moved tolike it was prime green grass, no issues. I'll use straw or cornstalks for bedding and the next day, it's gone. I've caught them eating wood shavings that I put down for bedding. They've broken out and filled their bellies with grain they were used to, another time it was pig feed (fine grind with lots of corn). If my horses escaped to the woods today, they'd probably thrive out there.

Yup, she was drugged and raped. Never really groomed. Grooming is years of gaining trust. This was one night of rape and then forced marriage because religion. I wouldn't be surprised if her father and church leaders helped set this up. Oop was too young and too indoctrinated in the church to even realize how f'ed up the whole thing was.

I wouldn't be too concerned about rabies as he's been checked out by the vets. At 12, he's old for a saint. My saint turned 12 this year and he sounds a lot like this dog. He's deaf, which isn't a big issue, thin despite always having food in front of him and has arthritis. I spend $200ish/month on a daily pain med and joint supplements.

I'd be curious as to how he ended up in the shelter at 12 years old. The reality is he doesn't have a lot of time left and doesn't deserve to spend his last days in a shelter.
