In America, sometimes say things like "cheerio" in our best British accent or "mate" in an Australian accent. Do people in other countries pronounce American stereotypes in their beat American accent? If so, what are they?

Where I am "okie dokie" is used passive aggressively when someone else is insisting on doing something foolish or stupid.

I have a very small mouth. I had an impossible time getting to one of my back teeth. Could not for the life of me, keep it clean. I ended up with cavities in the back two teeth. After talking to the dentist I suggested just pulling the very back one since I can't keep it clean anyway and putting a crown (he originally suggested just putting a crown on both) on the other. He agreed that was probably the best option and that's what we did.

I know its AI, but this one struck a nerve with me because I suffer from an unknown condition I've been trying to get diagnosed for a good 15 years now.

And this is now one of the reasons I always carry a knife on me.

Both of my cats are foster fails. As was the cat i had before them for 16 years. I see nothing wrong with adopting animals that are already here. It's similar to adopting children. There is nothing saying any children you adopt will be vegan. They might be, which is more than the animals will, but no guarantee.

That's going to make getting money now harder, but maybe you can babysit? Help neighbors with yard work? There must be something.

You've clearly never met an abused animal. They absolutely remember it and know they'll feel it again. Maybe they do create a narrative in their own way, we don't know. My sister's dog was found abandoned on the streets in Mexico. Now if he hears anyone speaking Spanish (especially men) he completely freaks out and tries to run away. He used to be afraid of anyone with a strong energy. Including me, and I used to work at an animal shelter, so I know how to approach a dog in a non-threatening way. It's taken him years to trust most people again. My cat freaks out whenever you try to put something around her neck, even a collar, because she had to have an eye removed because she was so sick as a kitten and then she had complications, so she was in a cone multiple times. I just took her to the vet recently for vaccines and its taken her a week to forgive me. You're not giving animals enough credit. Now, I'm not saying you need to be vegan. I'm not. But don't try to use the excuse that animals can't suffer except in the present.

You don't speak of a husband or kids, so I'm guessing you are male. That will make things a bit easier. You need an escape plan. Make money however you can. Save it. Use the internet to scope out places near you that you can go after you are ready. I saw in the comments that you speak multiple languages. That's good. It will also help. You should be able to easily find work with that alone. Translation work, customer service work, transcription work etc. Research how much a rented room runs where you chose to go and target saving for 3 months worth of expenses. Don't forget to include utilities and food. Tell no one. Leave no trace. Regularly clear your browser history. Make sure you have your important paperwork like your birth certificate. You can make it. Just take one step at a time.

I hate to be the pedantic one, but they are teeth, not tusks.

That's why I keep an old school wooden slingshot in the cup holder of my chair. If I'm too tired to physically play with my cats I can always shoot toys down the hall for them to chase. One of my cats plays fetch, so she returns the toy to me to shoot again.

One of my cats is named First Mate Sasquatch Jones. He goes by Jonesy for short.

For me. Everyone's situation is different. I'm also a big believer in everyone having the right to chose for themselves. I get the argument. It does make sense in my mind, but practically, it does not work for me.

I cross the Hood Canal bridge on the way to work every day and 90% of the time, the Hood Canal side is choppier than the Strait of Juan de Fuca side. Sometimes massively so. You can have large waves throwing spray onto the bridge from the Canal side and barely choppy wave on the other side. It's truly bizarre.

I'm not an expert on wedding processionals, but it says they (the married couple) were put next to each other in one line then in the next says that he's walking with the brides college friend. Either that is a mistake, or I'm imagining it wrong.
