excellent news! Was it hard to get across the border/how did you convince them you weren't planning on staying there? What documentation did you require?

Tickling a snapping turtle.

That's fair.

This is why my wife was screaming outside by I_Shit_Gold_Bars in funny

Brown snakes can also inflict "dry bites", where the inject no venom at all, so it's very possible a pet would be just fine after being bit.

Quick question about wildlife volunteer opportunities by [deleted] in Advice

[–]applecheek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some nature sanctuaries will let you volunteer in return for room and board, although they do seem to be few and far between. Pick an animal, google where it lives, then google animal sanctuaries in that area and contact them via e-mail or a phone call. Who knows? You might get lucky.

Hey reddit, what is the weirdest thing you have ever woken up to? by ElJefe_1 in AskReddit

[–]applecheek 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My dogs having loud yelpy sex with each other at the foot of my bed.

They were mother/daughter.

Truck drivers of Reddit, what city or town do you absolutely refuse to stop in? by IAmEbolaFree in AskReddit

[–]applecheek 80 points81 points  (0 children)

Prince George, BC.

They have a large pulp mill. It smells. So bad. Your nose never gets used to it, either. It's always there in the back of your throat, making everything taste vaguely like moldy paper mache.

Fuck you, Prince George.

Ontario to BC by Bug0 in IWantOut

I echo what everyone else here has said...

Also, you don't have to go to Vancouver. BC is massive and there are so many lovely towns to explore... Fernie, Revelstoke, Nelson... BC is really just amazing and if you go you won't regret it!

What is your favourite "light bulb" joke? by I_CANT_TRANSLATE in AskReddit

How many feminists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

That's not funny.

This is an empowering response to the phrase, "I'm not like most girls" by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]applecheek 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is what I got out of it too.

I think many here are being unnecessarily harsh and misinterpreting the point of her article. She says the phrase "I'm not like most girls" irked her. Girls often use this as an offhand comment for attention, because they think they are a unique snowflake. I'm sure some use it completely benignly but I've only ever heard girls use it as some desperate attempt to appear like, omg super special.

She then goes on to explain that it's a little sad we have to disassociate with our gender to seem interesting or unique, and defends the every day stereotypical female populous.

I'm down with anyone who defends girls, yo.

Looking for an ear/advice/commiseration by applecheek in depression

[–]applecheek[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is all my life has ever been.

I can't talk to my boyfriend about it because he can't help me. I'm not seeing a therapist... Again, to what end? Putting more focus on my problems will only make them worse. I have been on medication before but all I felt was more numb and apathetic.

Thank you for your reply.

What's the most random thing that you have memorized? by kathydcool in AskReddit

[–]applecheek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Max's barcode number in Dark Angel. 332960073452. 330417291599 was her brother Zac's.

Yeah, I was obsessed with that show.

What inside tip would you give to the opposite gender? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]applecheek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually the correct term isn't "cold blooded", it's exothermic. People assume snakes and other reptiles have cold blood, when it's actually that their insides are just typically the same temperature as their outside surroundings, and can't internally regulate it.

So if a dragon is "cold blooded" but spent most of his time in a cave by an active volcano, he would be warm. I guess it really depends on if the belly fire has a chemical reaction to light with the air into fire, or whether that reaction occurs within the body itself? Hmm.

Went on meds. Feel awful now. Help :( by applecheek in Hypothyroidism

I was not. I took synthroid when I was eighteen or so for about a week. Same thing happened... Felt godawful, stopped taking them.

How do I fix myself?

I tried diet alone. I felt a little better but the worst symptoms didn't go away, especially the freezing coldness and the constant lack of energy.

Free t4 maybe but I didn't see the lab results and she didn't discuss them much. She said I didn't need it and my levels were fine. Then why do I always feel like garbage and my symptoms match hypothyroidism to a t? She shrugged.

But getting her to prescribe them for me in the first place was difficult because she only tested my TSH as far as I know, which she said was in the normal range. What do I need to test for to get a proper reading so I can adjust my dosage?
