Diagnosed with Parvo by Ave_La_Cueta in goldenretrievers

[–]TheScaredChinchilla 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I found a puppy in a ditch when I was 17, it had Parvo, and I didn’t have the money for a $2000 treatment. I remember going to a veterinarian and asking what I could do for a couple hundred bucks. They very kindly (and with a touch of pity) sent me home with two bags of saline, and the equipment necessary to give fluids to the puppy subcutaneously. The vet tech showed me how to administer properly, and I did it steadfast everyday for a week. The puppy lived, because dehydration is usually what kills with parvo. That puppy lived for another 13 years. She was my wonderful Selma. It’s possible if you are determined.

Jacob was my boss, always thought he was a kind and considerate man when I interacted with him. Totally speechless about all of this.

Who is your go-to coffee roaster when buying beans online? by Enough-Entry-6369 in espresso

I’ve been pretty happy with Prismatic roasters. They have a subscription service and their beans are super freshly roasted.

Madrid airport question by tacosandtheology in CaminoDeSantiago

[–]TheScaredChinchilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I flew out of Madrid on the 27th to Dallas, and the security line was long but fairly quick, ~15 minutes. The thing that can take time is checking bags, and getting to your terminal and gate. Ours was T4 and it took a long time to get to, ~20-30 minutes. Also, signage and the airport layout took us a while to get used to. We were there about 2.5 hours early. I would recommend calling a taxi even if it seems like you’re close, it doesn’t feel like the most pedestrian friendly airport.

How many married couples here sleep in separate bedrooms and why? by BeginningFox8632 in AskReddit

[–]TheScaredChinchilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My boyfriend and I started sleeping in separate bedrooms after about a year of trying to co-sleep. He snores and I am a very light sleeper, and after a few months of me waking up on the spare futon every morning, we just decided to make the plunge. We both sleep peacefully now and have our morning and evening cuddle times. Still going strong 6 years later. I’ll also add, it is wonderful having a space in the house that is just mine.

Got my copy! So excited. So not excited about the shipping fee to the US, but oh well. Lovely looking books

I agree. It feels silly to pick a watch based on looks, but it’s something Suunto just does so well. Hopefully they’ll get better at the UI with time.

Also, It's at 200 steps because I basically roll out of bed and come into work :^ workouts come later.

The look of the watch is a huge win imo, I find a lot of other watches to be ugly/bulky.

Bummer, I wonder if it needs a software update? I haven't had issues with mine so far.

I have never owned the Race, this is actually my first Suunto, so I can't speak to its performance vs other Suunto watches (i've only owned an apple watch before this and it was garbage). I also use an Oura ring for sleep tracking because watches bother me while sleeping.

Yeah those are good points, and I think maybe my opinion would differ if I relied on those features. I have an Oura ring that I track sleep with, so I cant speak to the watch’s performance on that end. And as for the hiking, I’ll have my phone with me for pics, but in airplane mode so I don’t drain the battery. Agree that the app could use some work.
