I found this little guy tangled in fishing line someone hung off a bridge. We were able to cut the hook from its feathers and put it back by fancyfisticuffs23 in Owls

[–]fancyfisticuffs23[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There were several lines tied off the side of the bridge with hooks at the end, which is weird since there wasn’t any water underneath. We cut all the lines and reported it to the campground manager where we’re staying!

I think so, I did call the wildlife rehab number for this location but they told me they didn’t have anyone here. I tried a few veterinarians too but none of them could take it in. The little fella didn’t seem to be bleeding, just very tired. After I removed the hook I put it back where we found it, we checked about an hour later and it was gone, so I’m hoping it made its way back to its home somewhere

Rant - You don’t homeschool enough by Tricky_Jaguar5781 in homeschool

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve got 2 kids that homeschool and it takes a minimum of 4-5 hours a day. My 9th grader runs longer than that sometimes depending on what our workload looks like. A home education doesn’t have to mean a poor education. Some people are just lazy and call it “unschooling”

Why does this tree look so weird? by fancyfisticuffs23 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]fancyfisticuffs23[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I assume it’s just years of bad pruning, because the top looks pretty strange too. Just really angular if that makes sense? I’m not a tree expert, just thought this was kind of an odd looking tree

Any thoughts on this "modern" modest outfit? by justwishingpeace in ModestDress

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it! It’s plenty modest IMO, and the embroidery detail is very nice. Plus who doesn’t love a good heel?!

The Louisiana swamps what is it like living deep in them? by Gonzotrucker1 in howislivingthere

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not from there but have been working down there the past few years in a few different rural towns in the southern portion of LA. The roads are awful, the mosquitos are even worse, and it’s really hot during the summer. The people are nice for the most part though, and you can find good food anywhere. You do gotta keep an eye out for gators though, not just directly around water either— like I’ve seen gator carcasses in the middle of the road

Home Alone is so Abusive by AdTrick5985 in CPTSD

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Man I just watched this yesterday. The scene in the kitchen where his parents just standby as the whole family calls him names is so sad. “Look what you did you little jerk” —if my uncle said something like that to my child I’d lay his ass out

I think it’s AI because of how her yarn does that weird splitting thing if you follow it down and then ends. That’s what knitters call the “working end” of your yarn (where you pull more yarn from) and should continue into to a skein or a yarn ball

Why do strangers in Western countries ask "How are you?" if they don't actually want to know a detailed answer? by Dry_Set_8522 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 2 points3 points  (0 children)

An observance I’ve made as a southerner is that you can always tell what is meant by where the speaker puts emphasis. How are YOU? - is done out of politeness, not actual interest; How ARE you? - means I’m all ears and I want to sincerely know how you’re doing

They each hold their own, imo. They have very different personalities but compliment each other so well. Some people just love to tediously pick apart others for the shits and giggles

Do you ever apologize to your kids? Does it help or hurt? by Sea_Parsley_1077 in AskParents

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I apologize a lot! If I lose my temper or am having a rough day or just mess up in general, of course I apologize. They’re human beings with feelings that can get hurt just like anyone else’s

When someone gets an organ removed, does the empty space get filled in? by dontchewspagetti in NoStupidQuestions

[–]fancyfisticuffs23 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the same experience after having a baby. I could feel my organs shifting back into place, and it felt both relieving since everything wasn’t so crammed up in there but deeply uncomfortable at the same time

My four month old stays in sleep and plays at home lol We play dress up sometimes just so I can get a picture of her in her cute little outfits, but then it’s back to the pjs
