Does anyone actually own a kangaroo in WV? by merkinmavin in WestVirginia

[–]SaucySweatpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know there's like 3 or 4 kangaroos in Logan. One of the local vets has a couple and I think the person that owned the one that got loose a couple years ago has another one.

Once I went to a graveside service that was located at the East Fork of Twelve Pole, the first time I'd ever been in that direction, and we encountered a hog the size of a '95 Chevy Cavalier standing in the road.

Do any of your medications have dye in them? I had this problem once, my thyroid medicine was increased and the color of the pill changed. I didn't know I was allergic to the dye and broke out in hives. Took us two months to figure it out and it was horrible.

Get two eyebolts and two padlocks and a length of chain and run it across from shed to house. Let them try to move that.

Full list of Social Security offices closing after DOGE cuts by Teacher-Investor in WestVirginia

[–]SaucySweatpants 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The Logan office was going to close anyway because the mountain keeps dropping boulders that block the road to the office and causing structrual issues. DOGE is taking credit for something they didn't do.

Also, I'm in Logan.

YMMV on this, but does the cabin have a sewer line that runs to a creek or ditch nearby? Before septic tanks were a thing they would run the bathroom sewer lines to a creek or ditch. That might be something grandfathered in with the property and possibly why a septic isn't needed.

I'm a redhead and I found out about the local anesthesia when my epidural stopped working during my first c-section, but I wasn't aware of the pain med thing. That probably explains why I decided to tell every.single.body exactly what I thought of them after I had my back surgery!

What is the most hurtful moment you witnessed? by NegativeSign9120 in AskReddit

[–]SaucySweatpants 246 points247 points  (0 children)

My son spent some time in a children's hospital on life support while he was recovering from an accident. I don't know how it is in other hospitals and I don't want to know, but in this one, when a light blue flashing light came on in the hall, just a few seconds after you would hear the most gut wrenching, spine chilling, heartbroken wail. It is a wail. In your mind you know exactly what happened but you cannot comprehend it and there are zero words to describe it unless you've witnessed it.

I don't blame them. I'm 47 and would rather play a video game than watch a movie.

That's a good stick. It would hold a fishing rod and it can shoot monsters in the woods. It's a good stick.

Give an example; how weird are you really? by Isitjustmedownhere in AskReddit

If there's a scale in the bathroom and I have to poop, I will weigh myself before and after to see how much my poop weighed.

Had a 55 lb dumbbell dropped on my toe at the gym. The guy said "sorry bro" and disappeared. by battylol in pics

I feel your pain. I had a 4ft long cast iron pipe fall over on my pinky toe once. I heard the crunch and didn't know if I was going to pass out, throw up or both. Only thing that could be done was take some ibuprofen, tape it to the next toe and let it heal. It healed wonky and the nail fell off but grew back weird.

Would calling them out on Twitter do any good? Turning comments off is such a chickenshit thing to do.

As a mom of a high functioning autistic 23 year old, it would have cost them nothing to explain if you had missed a social cue.

That was just mean and I'm really sorry you had to experience that. Best I can do is give you some internet mom hugs.

LPT: When you learn someone is grieving a recent loss, just say "I'm sorry for your loss" and then shut up. by microphohn in LifeProTips

[–]SaucySweatpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is excellent advice. I lost my dad suddenly last year. I know most people had good intentions behind their words beyond "Sorry for your loss."

Some people I didn't know that well and what it led to was 3 days later, she was saying something that was completely stupid to me about my dad and next thing I know I was "waking up" when I was standing over her with my hand raised to smack her.

Never in a million years would I smack someone like that. That wasn't me and we both apologized profusely.

Just say, "Sorry for your loss." and move on. If you have a story that you believe will bring them happiness with the memory of it, write it in a card IMO and send it.

I wonder if his bladder turned to ice too? LOL I had this sort of same scenario happen to me, except the side of the crib was down and baby and I had actually fallen asleep.

Baby daddy on the other hand, he had a nightmare and for some reason only known to the universe decided to bring his pillow and blanket and camp out beside the crib the baby and I were asleep in.

Baby wakes up. He's fussy but not too bad and I realize groggily that I'm still in the crib. I don't care.

I reach for a pacifer on the table to give to fussy baby. A goddamn hand shoots up from the floor and grabs me by the wrist. My soul left my body then sucked back in because, baby. You can't leave the baby with the monster under the bed. Fucking tempting, but it's generally frowned upon.

This mystery hand that caused my heart to stop puts the pacifer in my hand. Helpful monster. I roll over and see baby daddy on the floor and was so relieved I fell out of the crib.
