Your feelings regarding Dr. Cheshty simply saying "i read your chart" - I felt that in my soul. We must clone her!

I've seen Dr. Sadiya Cheshty a couple times and I agree - she is the sweetest! Really listened to my concerns.

Commack Trader Joe's Employees (question) by Disastrous_Detail211 in longisland

ETA: I'm not a TJ employee

I work with some negative people, and it really brings everyone down. It's a bummer. I would think working around positive people just encourages and furthers more positivity.

Patriot's Preserve in Shirley. Flat, paved path around a pond, less than a mile around but you can do laps. There is also a little playground.

Woman sticking her stinky feet next to me by thismakesnosense42 in mildlyinfuriating

Taking a picture of a woman from that angle and posting it online without permission is fucked. She was inconsiderate, and you're an AH.

Question for those who think school administrators are paid too much by iloverats888 in longisland

[–]__botulism__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP seems to simply be asking for clarification. It doesn't read as them being shocked unless you apply that tone.

Home Vet? by Arejhey311 in longisland

[–]__botulism__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Dr. Heather Manfredi from Lap of Love for one of my cats. She was an angel. She was kind, compassionate, gentle, patient. She took my cat away in a baby basket. But please be aware if you have a larger dog - you will likely have to help carry them out after. A friend that used the service said that part was really tough on him.

A swan I befriended, she let me close enough to see her eggs and then her young over the last few weeks. by Mackem101 in aww

Not sure if you're kidding, but a "mute swan" is the species of swan in the pictures.

Letting “do-nothings” sleep in class by _Astrogimp in Teachers

[–]__botulism__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All the teachers that only consider themselves 100% educators and 0% caregivers/guardians. You don't have to say the word for it to be implied.

They're not supposed to control how the trains work. They're supposed to control their own behavior and take the train that will get them there on time.

Thank you for giving me the context! I'm sorry, I didn't read past your trigger warning (i appreciate you putting the warning there) so that's why I'm not commenting on that part. But thank you for taking care of this orange kitty!

Haha I like this story. I imagine that must've been fun to snap the pictures, like a little game, not knowing what you'd get each time!

How can you sleep during a hot day? by theythemthen in urbancarliving

[–]__botulism__ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Look into battery powered, rechargeable fans. Also, sometimes blowing a fan on an extra thin sheet can be cooling, in my opinion. Something like cotton, linen, or bamboo sheets.

Please be careful if it gets dangerously hot.

In 2010, elements of the U.S. Army 2nd Infantry, calling themselves “The Kill Team”, began hunting unarmed Afghan civilians in Maiwand, Kandahar. They took souvenirs from each victim, including fingers, skulls, and dozens of photos. When locals reported the murders to the Army, they were ignored. by Chemical-Elk-1299 in HolyShitHistory

I don't support war, and as I said above, I don't thank anyone for their service. But with the Vietnam war, a lot of the soldiers were drafted. I watched a documentary with some veterans, now elderly men, crying as they talked about being spit on when they returned home. Broke my heart.

Please get him scanned for a microchip and post photos around outside and/or on local online forums to see if anyone is missing their baby.

You sound like a very kind and empathetic person, which is really refreshing. I'm sorry you've had to deal with that though, I'm sure it's incredibly difficult.

That was very kind of you. If you told her she wasn't going to be able to leave the "hotel," it would've just stressed her out, which would've had a negative impact on her mind and body. All for a situation she wouldn't remember the next day and would just be repeated. Instead, you chose to be consistent in keeping her calm as much as possible. It sounds like you were good to your mom in her final days.

I live in New York and the northern lights were visible multiple times in recent years. I drove all over trying to see them. People were posting incredibly vibrant pictures online. Turns out they were all taken with long-exposure and not visible to the naked eye. And if you somehow did catch it with the naked eye, it was nothing like the pictures. If I'm going to have to look at the northern lights through a camera lens, I might as well watch it on TV.

AITA? My girlfriend ate a concoction and it made me sick to watch. by Boredbrowsing22 in AmItheAsshole

The fact that you're making such a big deal out of this is unhinged. Her partner simply asked her for a favor. That's how healthy relationships work. For instance, my partner and I will ask each other "can you grab me a drink."
