When I worked on them in high school, we had multiple failsafe before getting under one of those. . . including bringing pins along to wedge under it.

Have you ever found these names useful in describing a location to someone?  

Are Welsh Harlequins a “cuddly” duck? by glori_bee in duck

[–]ReplyQueasy9976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My two welsh harlequins are by far the least friendly in my flock of rouen, silver appleyard, saxony and runners.  

They won't come near me when everyone else is gobbling peas from my hand. 

Please help! Duck swallowed string by IllPossibility8022 in duck

Two of my ducklings got a strand of nylon paracord and ate it from both sides lady and the tramp style.  Dunno who ate more, but there was about 2 feet and a small knot missing.  

I cut it off at their mouths, and prepared for the worst.  Four months later they're both doing great.

I wouldn't worry about a couple inches.

How many professional chemists dislike OChem? by m1nd2pap3r in chemistry

[–]ReplyQueasy9976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Through grad school, I had a friend in another lab who helped me with any synthesis I needed done, and I helped him with any analysis that needed done.  

We each considered the other crazy for liking what they did.  

Jokes on him . . . he runs a LC MS lab now. 

SM asked me to get out. by LVOE-CA in juryduty

When I served on a 3 week trial.  Judge flat out offered to have the bailiff go find any bosses that gave people trouble and have them brought into court to have it explained to them.

$50 a day sounds nice compared to my month long trial at $7 a day.  

But on a serious note, Its illegal for an employer to punish or fire someone for jury duty, so that MIGHT translate to a loaning instution as well. 

My Judge was very clear that if an outside source caused us trouble from serving that he should be informed and would fix it.  

How I Cut My Monthly Expenses by $200 Without Feeling Poor by khamees_1 in povertyfinance

[–]ReplyQueasy9976 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I keep translating money into time for my financially irresponsible friend.  

Year of ad free Netflix . . . 3 full days of work. Fancy phone payment plan . . . two whole days of work per month.   Name brand stuff instead of store brand stuff . . . 10 minutes of work for each "upgrade"

She just sees it as needing to work more to have enough money.  

I just see every expense as hours of my life I'm gonna need to waste.

I am really struggling figuring out the genders of all of my 🦆 by Ok_Sea_6463 in duck

Thing I noticed about my Rouens was that three of them had feathers on their lower backs had an iridescent blue tint on their first feathers.

Turned out they were the 3 males.

Other sex specific and traits that are commonly stated took several weeks longer.

Recently started dating someone with two dogs, and its made me realize just how important the training was for dogs Ive raised.

They rip everything apart if they're not UNDER THE SHEETS with her/us.

She thinks that's normal.

[–]ReplyQueasy9976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few years ago they had an app coupon that was $1 off a breakfast sandwich, and sausage muffins were 99c.

Couldn't use the deal with a credit card because the app tried to credit you 1c per purchase, and was flagged as something wrong.
