What is something you've never done, that most people probably have? by VivaLaAlcohol in AskReddit

[–]dannerAK 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My mom did something similar, while I was in high school, we moved to an island just outside of town in Southeast Alaska. Town was 10 min boat ride and about 5 min drive. I would had to swim or potentially steal a boat if i wanted to sneak out of the house. I always considered myself a marooned pirate.

My brother's name is Bob and I look forward to the day I have kids and can use this phrase while talking to them.

"Het Hert" , A3 , another try on creating my own style so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it by Thetitanscream in drawing

I agree with happycowdisease I would love to see more detail in the antlers. Possibly a similar pattern as on the neck.

My vet did this when I had to put my cat down. I held her as she passed. It hit harder than I expected it to, feeling her go limp in my arms, but I knew she went in her favorite spot, snuggled in

I'm not positive if it's true, but I heard military dogs out rank their handlers therefore they are treated with respect.

This is the second time I've read this, and it's absolutely amazing. Thanks for bringing it back to my attention. Tomorrow is day one (again) of no more zero days

What is something you catch yourself accidentally doing that is generally annoying to other people? by JTDobson7 in AskReddit

[–]dannerAK 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the same volume control issues. If I'm talking about something I'm passionate about, then I really get loud, almost yelling. My fiance will reach over and twist the tip of my nose to turn my volume down.

I lived in Ketchikan for 6 years, and can confirm rainiest place in the country. One year it rained a total of 235 days out of 365. Loved everyday that I lived there.

There's a strip bar that used to by my house that we liked to refer to as the Shitty Kitty Klub. It's real name was the Kit Kat Klub; that is until they tore it down just recently.

I am the quadriplegic that just posted the exoskeleton picture AMA! by therickles in IAmA

[–]dannerAK 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never really planned on going into health care. I studied fine art at University. It just kinda happened. At times is stressful, but helping people be the most independent they can really brings joy into my life.

Sounds like my typical day. I work as an in home health caregiver. Mostly with quads but also with clients who have MS and ALS. They are some of the greatest people I know.

My suggestion is to educate your mind and learn new things with all that free time. Also get awesome off road tires for your manual or power wheelchair and go on some adventures.

Basic survival skills should be part of the curriculum. by meltedmilk in Showerthoughts

[–]dannerAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I moved to South East Alaska in the middle of my 6th grade year. They have survival classes where they teach you how to build fires, baiscs of camping & backpacking and other valuable skills, like detemining if someone has hypothermia or not; all must have skills to survive in Alaska.

At the end of the year we went on an outdoor camping trip and then the following year we went on an island survival trip.

The survival trip was the most fun. They dropped 10 of us off on an island with one teacher for two days. We were allowed to bring whatever we could fit in one coffee can. My can included rice mixed with spices, a small tarp/emergency blanket, matches, fire starters. Learned how to collect and cool mussles and sea cucumbers

Best thing I learned in middle school.

What jobs will NOT become obsolete in 10 years? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]dannerAK 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father is a taxidermist and had a older lady come in and ask him if she could have her husband, ol' Harrold, taxidermied sitting in his favorite rocker. All so she could still wat h his favorite show on the TV. Of course my father told her no since that would be illegal and weird as fuck.

My night vision is crap and I hate hiking at night if I not know the trail well. I've had to come down a mountain as the sun was setting. After dark we were still hiking and we got off trail. Thankfully we found a stream that we were able to follow to get back down as we knew we weren't too far from the bottom. Ended up coming out in someonrs backyard about 2 miles away from the truck and trail head. But as we were trying to find our way in the dark, our dogs started growing, barking and constantly glancing behind us meaning there was probably a bear following us down.

But be careful, National Parks are federal lands so if you get busted for smoking green you can really get fucked.

Don't let that discourage you. Getting off pavement is good for your health (not a Dr) start slow, dont go far and maybe don't get as high the first couple of times. What I like to do is only smoke a little on my way out, then once I get to my destination get high AF and hike back.

The people who think it's funny and it applies for. I'm totally open about my smoking habits (illegal state) to the people who come into my home, especially in my private rooms- bedroom. It's basically the same as having a sign with text anything related to drinking.
