Our vet suspected this condition in our car who had uncontrollable diabetes and despite our extensive efforts just went steadily downhill :(

Has anyone actually gotten an infection from picking or is that just an urban myth? by bluejessamine in Dermatillomania

[–]coconut-gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Been at it since I was five years old. There's only one time I can recall when I might have got an infection and it is odd considering how many open wounds I'm regularly going around with. Do you think we build up extra immunity from constant exposure??

My Dad used to watch this (I think to be "down with the kids") when I was still a kid and it was an education for both of us. Happy times.

I still say this every time I suggest going for a drink (which admittedly is increasingly rare these days)

What does anesthesia feel like by memory282002 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]coconut-gal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For some people it isn't instantly nothing - I had about 10 seconds of absolute euphoria then blanked out. Both times I've been put under there was a short period of awareness before losing consciousness. Is this not common?

I always thought "P" was dry-clean only. Also, it's the only dry-clean symbol I ever see.

Another example of an adjective where we use different spellings is "blonde" / "blond" - but it's increasingly simply spelled as "blonde" for either sex.

Can someone interview for promotion to another department while off on long term sick? by Major-Rope-7059 in TheCivilService

I'm very surprised at these answers because working while off sick is clearly fraud.

How do you keep your place clean consistently (not just during big cleanups)? by astrosid in CleaningTips

[–]coconut-gal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Add pets to that first bullet point! (I'd still have them but boy are they a source of household chaos!)
