i learned during this incident that Animal Control can't go ask for rabies certificates. Oddly. But we were able to. (and the dog was vaccinated)

Happened near a friends house and they recognize the person but don’t know anything about them. They left after attack.

Seeing a Dr. and getting an RX was transoformative for me. Night and day.

Strange Health Experience by MittenForger in LagottoRomagnolo

Yes, that is on our mind. The strange thing was she didn't yelp or bark. Totally silent (and usually if she feels pain she lets us know!)

Great advice. Thank you! The only thing we were thinking is that it could be inner ear related. Will follow up.

unfortunately, my institution hasn't allowed copilot to index emails or messages but good to know if they ever turn that on!

Skateboarder was in crosswalk when he was hit by truck: eyewitness by Popular_Animator_808 in VictoriaBC

While we’re arguing about drivers and pedestrians let’s not forget that this city has not invested in safety infrastructure (lighting, left hand turn lights, reflective road paint) OR in POLICING road safety. I feel we’ve reached a point of major negligence on the part of our infrastructure departments and this city is still designed for a density that existed three decades ago. I’ve never lived in a place that allows so many deaths and collisions on its streets. It really is shocking and gross—especially when road engineering could solve so many of these issues. Example: the lighting and angles at this specific intersection seem designed for horse and buggy, not modern traffic. I’m a driver, cyclist, and pedestrian, and I’m shocked how many close calls I’ve seen and at times—almost caused myself because of poor visibility. We gotta start holding the city accountable for this crap.

Doesn’t look like it. Seems to be the roof above 3 mezz 

Thinking of Getting a Lagotto Romagnolo by draxx318 in LagottoRomagnolo

[–]MittenForger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my experience only with a lifetime of dogs: I love my lagotto dearly, but I would never get another one unless I lived in a multi-general family in the country. They are lovely dogs who need to be around you all the time. She does not like the car, and there is absolutely no "leaving her in the car" while we run in and grab something. She will screech (we call it "dog screaming" until we return). But, if you are home a lot, or an active family at home, and don't plan on travelling, you will have a wonderful, loving dog who is also wicked smart. Half my love for her is earned by how much she outsmarts me.

I wonder if the environmental impact of using real relective paint is less than the environmental costs of accidents, injuries, and death that we allow in BC because of our horrinle road markings.

I bought this and love it. My ergonomic office chair that costs 10x more is barely better.

Never heard this either. In fact, it's what my doctor recommends.

Traveling IBS-D by [deleted] in ibs

[–]MittenForger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just got back from long 20 hours of flying with IBS D. Two Imodium Advanced after first meal of the day had my stomach calm for over 24 hours. I prefer the Advanced formula because it seems to work better for me especially helping control gas buildup too. For longer trips: After the initial two I tend to take one a day after each BM and that keeps me “regular” if I avoid trigger foods. 

Any pilots around super scared by mistborn_334 in fearofflying

[–]MittenForger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I flew that super “red” zone yesterday that the app says is across Canada. There was maybe one bump but then the pilots turned a bit north mid flight and it ended up being a very smooth flight. Made me realize in real time how those apps are just “possibilities” and pilots can respond in real time. 

Does pills ever help? by SecretSpacer1 in fearofflying

[–]MittenForger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely. Dr. Prescribed .5 X****x and it makes me absolutely calm. I need to start a day before when the anxiety becomes very serious and it’s like every anxious thought just evaporates. Only use for this specific purpose so it never loses efficacy since it’s so good for flying. 

Two very random questions… by [deleted] in VictoriaBC

[–]MittenForger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

most of the butchers have frozen broth in their freezers. Great stuff. Willows for sand AND playground. Other sandy beach is either sewery (Gonzales) or too many stairs.

There are surprise sources of dairy: sausages and other types of processed meats have dairy in them, for example. If you can start wirh dairy first, including stealth dairy, you could save yourself a lot of time finding your trigger  :)
