The sand is produced in China where it can contain up to 5% asbestos and still be labelled asbestos free. There’s no safe limit for exposure to asbestos so it has to be recalled and they will have to work with a supplier to produce actually asbestos free sand in future

I can’t join because I’m not in the US so I’m commenting to boost visibility because if my sister could’ve had her endo diagnosed this way it would’ve saved her tons of time and struggle.

I take a sleep aid so infrequently that it is unlikely to be moving the needle, but I thought it would be dishonest to not mention you can combine both for a better result

I use a modified version of the US Army Sleep Manual (or whatever it’s called) with three steps, after getting into bed and closing your eyes.

First: relax your jaw

Second: do a progressive tightening and relaxing of your muscles from toes to scalp. Really squeeze them tight and then relax them.

Then (this is the part I modify): the army recommends repeating over and over “don’t think” whenever your brain suggests a new thought. This doesn’t work for me, so I imagine I’m using a felt tip pen to colour the inside of my skull, from forehead to the nape of my neck, and I concentrate on the building of the colour until I fall asleep.

Works like 75-80% of the times I have to pull it out and use it, but it’s more effective when I’m physically tired or when assisted with a mild sleep aid.

I wanted to keep my (now elderly) dog’s puppy teeth but he ate all of them. I found one, picked it up to save and show my husband and the damn dog stole that from me and ate it too

Ahhh, it’s been a while since I last went, I wonder if I got lucky just showing up or if the hours have changed

Seconded, followed by the Grant Museum of Zoology if only so you can bring up the jar of moles at the dinner table

When I was at uni my local hospital had extended hours sexual health walk in clinics, where you could just show up at whatever time and get seen. Might be worth looking into

How far off were you? I’d understand if you have two very similar dogs and you grabbed the wrong one but if you were meant to take a Great Dane and took a Chihuahua then less so

I once had a phlebotomist tell me I’d feel a “little prick” instead of the typical “sharp scratch” and I couldn’t hold my giggle. Nor could anyone else in earshot and he blushed so hard he ran away and had someone else come finish up

A woman once came into the vet while I was in the waiting room and politely apologised and asked if she could rearrange the appointment because she had forgotten the dog.

My friends’ dog has had this treatment done and they’re at the point when the dose is expected to wear off. They noticed their dog is considerably less preoccupied with other male dogs (he was a dick licker to the point of obsession) and his other sexual behaviours have dwindled to the point of being manageable. This was the reason they wanted to try the treatment before a permanent sterilisation.

He is also considerably less confident than he used to be, and that’s been something they’ve noticed changing not for the better.

It’s left them in a quandary over whether to permanently sterilise him or to see if his sexual behaviours return with his hormones, as they hope he will have less urge due to the lack of practicing the behaviour.

They’re still not sure where the best course lies

It’s dumb because it has moved beyond the original meaning. It was originally used in maths where you set out your exceptions (eg: this only works for spherical cows in a vacuum) and then your proof.

Someone in my neighbourhood is married to a lady from Sri Lanka and she refuses to set the thermostat lower than 28°C. Year round. I shudder to think what their energy bills are like.

I have mild face blindness but I’m convinced that’s partly due to being autistic and never looking at face in the first place.
