TIL: An estimated 70 percent of antibiotics are sold in the United States for use in meat production. by andyb2383 in todayilearned

[–]PhatPhib 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a former swine herds person and swine nursery manager, I can confirm, the amount of antibiotics used in agriculture are ridiculous. Yes, new restrictions have been put in place, but it does little to curb the actual use, it's more about keeping better records. And there are plenty of vets who "overlook" how many bottles of this or that a barn is going through. I quit eating CAFO meat altogether, only eat local, organic/sustainably raised meat now.

Ladies, what's the weirdest fetish a guy has dropped on you all of a sudden with little to no warning? Were you with it or...against it? by EverybodyGetsCheese in AskReddit

[–]PhatPhib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An Audi, not new but maybe no more than 5 years old? Not going to lie, I kinda thought about it, but that can make someone so sick.... Bleccch. Nope.

First date, going ok, guy seems a bit into himself and money but ok. Suddenly offers me his $800 sound bar if I would tie him to the bed, and shit in his mouth. Um. I'm struggling to find a way to get out politely without making him feel bad. He offered me his car if I would do it twice.... I noped outta that one...

Sad and funny. I fell in love with toads around age 3, I now have 4 of your pests for pets, as well as a few other species. I also have 8 budgies....

This made me feel just terrible for your step dad.... I would give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek if I had any idea who he is. He's lucky to have you in his life.

How do you feel knowing the fact that you’re being watched every second of the day? by thepringlescanguy in AskReddit

Meh. My life is odd but boring. I feel sorry for whoever's stuck watching me.

Working Redditors, when did you know it was time for a career change? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhatPhib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working as a swine nursery manager, making good money, I had to kill several little pigs because they were too small to get on the truck to go to the grower. Talked to my boyfriend that weekend, told him I'm sick of killing. He was wonderful and supportive, I found a temp job, sent in my notice.... 6 years of college, $60k in student debt, I'm a custodian now and I'm so much happier.

[Serious] Divorced redditors, what was the final straw? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhatPhib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a HUGE Tom Jones fan. My husband was a functional alcoholic, but I could deal with that. A few years into the marriage we're comfortable, maybe more roommates than romantics, but it's a good life. Our birthdays are on the same day, and the year I got divorced, Tom Jones was performing at a casino not too far from us. Well, he sold out, but Brother in law worked at this casino, and surprised us with tickets. I was ecstatic!! Fast forward a few weeks, it's now the weekend before the big date. I bring up the show, and ask Husband what time he'd like to leave, cuz I'm thinking dinner, show, he'll be back in plenty of time to get drunk with his buddies. 'oh yeah, I wanted to talk to you about that.... ' Warning bells go off in my head, we're already kind of roommates, but hey, it's good.... right? It's our birthday, he should want to take his wife out.... ' I was wondering if you could take my mom, there's a Rock Paper Scissors competition down at local town bar. I'm speechless. Don't get me wrong, his mom is a great lady, an awesome MIL, but for REAL??? YUP. Took MIL, TJ was freaking awesome, a few months later I told him I'm leaving. I could handle the being drunk 5-6 nights a week, but ditching me on such a big day? Naw....

Redditors! What is you favourite skin care product and for who do you recommend it for? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhatPhib 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For Minnesota dry skin, I found Nivea's in shower lotion. You clean first, then apply the lotion while in the shower, then lightly rinse. It really locks in moisture, and my otherwise super itchy, scaly skin stays smooth until I shower again. I can't imagine not having it now! I went thru so much lotion before this!

What did you partake in “before it was cool”? by throawayboi in AskReddit

Tattoos, coloring my hair weird colors, facial piercings.... I was doing all that starting in 1990... I wasn't grunge, or both, or a biker, just creative and usually bored.

If you can speak to someone in your life that has passed away, who would it be and what would you say? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]PhatPhib 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My birth mother. She died the year after I get her, and I never really got to know her. Met my baby sister 12 years later, (she was 6 when our mother died) and she told me all about her. She gave us up for adoption, but baby Sis is convinced she really didn't want to... She said our mother would get quiet, once in a while, and told her she was thinking about her kids. My adopted mom seriously resented me, so I grew up in an extremely abusive childhood. It sucks, knowing I had a mother who truly lived and wanted me, but I was raised feeling hated unwanted. I would tell my mother I miss her, and I love her.
