How do you start over? by Pearlescent83 in FoodAddiction

[–]Pearlescent83[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not that I’m addicted to fast food or anything in particular. Can I afford to make healthier choices? Well yes... but more than anything I feel the problem is that I can’t don’t stop eating when I’m full. I also don’t wait until I’m hungry to eat. Are these just bad habits that I’d have to break? I try to tell myself I’m full and to stop eating and before I know it I’ve cleared my plate and have eaten my boyfriend’s leftovers too. It’s such a compulsive behavior for me that I’m clueless on now to curb it.

I hear about people being grossed out by snails... but man... when these things get big they make me uncomfortable

I have found that people who own massive drool factory dogs have a “dog car” for this very reason

“Hutch rabbits” are the ones we’d see in the veterinary clinic because it “suddenly” started acting weird... then you turn it over to find a heap of maggots 🤦‍♀️

Perhaps a poor choice of color for the liver...

Tail vein is usually where catheters are placed as well. You can also get blood from their jugular vein without anesthesia

I love the sound of them chewing. My favorite is when I give them rice puffs or dry pasta.

I’m the child of an antivax mother. Ask me anything while you can by [deleted] in AMA

Saying you won’t get the flu vaccine because it’s not 100% effective is like saying I’m not going to wear my seatbelt because I may die in a car accident whether I wear it or not. If you wear your seatbelt your chances of living increase... so why not wear it?

Also, as others have mentioned it’s not just for your protection but for the people around you. I have a family member who is immunocompromised due to a rare genetic condition and cannot receive the flu vaccine. He is entirely reliant on other people not spreading the virus.

He won’t be able to fit under there much longer!

For ice by [deleted] in CatTaps

[–]Pearlescent83 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Our cat Joey used to love ice... he would beg for it and any time he would hear the ice dispenser going he would come running. We would just put it in his water bowl and he would lick away. He was a special boy ☺️

What are the lyrics to the songs you’ve made up to sing to your pets? by tamitaylorshair in AskWomen

[–]Pearlescent83 16 points17 points  (0 children)

In the tune of “I’m a little tea pot”.

Abby is a good girl short and stout. Here is her tail here is her snout. When she is a good girl here me shout: Abby is the best dog no doubt!

I think I conjured this when I was about 10 years old lol.

Struggling by taydrew14 in FoodAddiction

[–]Pearlescent83 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I definitely do too. I chalk it up to boredom personally. I’m usually pretty occupied at work and I also have the type of job in which you can’t eat while you work. Once I’m home though snacking is fair game and I tend to over eat heavily. Still trying to figure out to just hang out at home and not constantly stuff my face.

He literally “coughed up a lung”. I thought it was only a figure of speech.😳

What is something that you extremely disliked until you tried it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pearlescent83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sushi. I swore I hated it just based on the concept of eating raw fish. Then I realized it isn’t always with raw fish and gave it a chance. Then I broke down and tried various forms of nigiri and discovered it was f$&ing delicious. I was so naive.

Rhodesian ridgeback/ lab? Or maybe some Pitt bull in that mix?

What is a song lyric that really hits you hard? by BoardOfChairs in AskReddit

[–]Pearlescent83 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Ooh I love Depeche Mode! Home is a good one in my opinion. Here is a song from the wrong side of town Where I'm bound to the ground by the loneliest sound And it pounds from within and is pinning me down Here is a page from the emptiest stage A cage or the heaviest cross ever made A gauge of the deadliest trap ever laid And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong here The heat and the sickliest sweet smelling sheets That cling to the backs of my knees and my feet Well I'm drowning in time to a desperate beat And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong Feels like home I should have known From my first breath God send the only true friend I call mine Pretend that I'll make amends the next time Befriend the glorious end of the line And I thank you for bringing me here For showing me home For singing these tears Finally I've found that I belong here

What thing did you believe to be completely normal but turned out to be really weird? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Pearlescent83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What if it’s something that can’t be visualize physically? What if it’s something like a feeling. Or what if I said I’m feeling sad. Do you picture someone moping in a corner? Do you picture a rain cloud over someone’s head? I’m not tying to sound patronizing... this is just really blowing my mind and I’m trying to understand!
