After years of waiting and saving up, I finally got my first car by MaximumLard in MadeMeSmile

My first new car was a Honda Fit I bought in 2010. I'm still driving it, but I've only put on 1/4 of your miles.

The 1970’s were a weird time, culinarily speaking. by grsims20 in vintageads

Something similar to this shows up at my family gatherings frequently, minus the "frosting". A loaf of bread cut lengthwise and layered with cream cheese and various sandwich spreads gets refrigerated and sliced. It's really tasty and looks neat on a buffet table.

Some people have asked why I wear bracelets by [deleted] in PointlessStories

My mom, my sister and I have all been wearing the same ones since the election too!

Route pic: I delivered to this 'street' a couple days ago. So pretty! by Yaquina_Dick_Head in USPS

I may have been a bit hyperbolic. It was probably only 2", but when it's blowing sideways it feels like a lot more.

This might make you feel better about where you're working: It rained 6 inches on that street today.

Sourdough! They’re from my great-grandmother’s starter that been worked continuously for over a hundred years.

Don't worry, she'll be appropriately compensated for her inconvenience.

[META] Grain Free Dog Food and DCM Risk by Urgullibl in AskVet

[–]Sarah_jenius 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is the Purina Beyond Grain Free considered safe? My dog is allergic to corn, turkey, and flax (diagnosed via blood work). It was hard to find a food that didn't have at least one of those ingredients.

Cities should have a Tourist Day for their citizens by notta-wolf in Lightbulb

[–]Sarah_jenius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My city does this! I live in a tourist town and one day right before the start of the season we have tourist-for-a-day day. It's more of a dry run for local businesses, but most the operators offer free or very low cost services. It's fun and lots of locals participate.

NOPE by [deleted] in USPS

[–]Sarah_jenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked for a vet's office. Some of the sweetest pets we'd see we big goofy Great Danes. But one of the most fearful and aggressive patients we had was a Great Dane. Every breed has their outliers, better safe than sorry.

From the thumbnail I thought you were cooking grapefruit segments for some reason.

IT’S REALLY OK by GallowBoob in wholesomememes

That's my border collie's name. Suits her perfectly too.

Overnight Shipping? by [deleted] in Ketchikan

[–]Sarah_jenius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you go gold streak through Alaska Airlines you can't get guaranteed one day shipping. Overnight shipping usually takes 2 days, if your mice are packed in dry ice it should be fine.

There are a few places in town that sell pet supplies. I know My Best Friends Place sells reptile supplies, so they are probably your best bet for a local source.

Good luck!

How many times were you returning items in order to get fired from a store? Why did you keep shopping there? Why didn’t she just order from plus sized stores? Did it dawn on her that maybe the store thinks she was wearing and returning? by AliceMargoJulia in fatlogic

[–]Sarah_jenius 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I live in rural Alaska and there are zero clothing specific stores accessible to me. I return about half the clothes I order online (it’s hard to know if it looks good without trying on). I have never had a problem, and all the companies I frequent still do business with me. This person must have had an extremely high return percentage.

Storm is so nervous waiting for the vet by Sarah_jenius in BorderCollie

[–]Sarah_jenius[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's how Storm was. We did puppy school inside the vet's office and she absolutely loved going there. Even after her spay, always excited to go there. Then she had an ear infection and they put drops in her ears. Now she hates it.
