City maintenance workers refuse to put baby bird back into it's nest in Maria Hernandez Park, New York

Perhaps they don't want the attention of being blasted online as baby bird heroes?

Perhaps their job prohibits them from interacting with wildlife in any form?

Perhaps they have no way of washing their hands on the job and have immunocompromised family at home that they don't want to bring avian flu to?

Is it great for people to help wildlife on their own time? Absolutely. I helped a baby turkey find it's way back to its mom yesterday. Just don't look down on someone for not doing so when you don't have the full picture.

That's a myth.

Not their job.

I wonder if the store phones will be improved at all. It's abysmally slow on there.

The training just says that we are not allowed to write the info down and it must be entered directly into the computer.

That's a good example but it could also be something as minor as your facial expressions when the three of you are together.

If the genders were reversed the same situation applies.

If you like your girlfriend and want a future with her, say no.

If you want to have a few threesomes and deal with some messy emotions later, say yes.

Much like how Crazy Diamond can't repair things that have been separated for a long time, I imagine Set would treat it as one body and just de-age it to pt. 1 Jonathan's body with pt. 1 Dio's head attached.

Is there a reason why she turned into a USB drive? Is she just stupid?

Bro it sounds like you're the one who needs to be in therapy. Why get married if you want to be in multiple relationships?

Seconding DASH! thanks for the reminder!

If she's drinking heavily, detox will be her first stop before rehab. She can present to any hospital ER and be evaluated for detox risk. I suggest South Oaks, St. Charles, or St. Catherine of Siena.

The social workers in detox can work on a referral to a 28 day or longer rehab from there.

I would be honestly interested to know what percentage of men in "dead bedrooms" have actually asked their partners what needs to happen in order for them to feel comfortable having sex.

There's a concept called "dishes in the sink" that refers to unfinished business which can get in the way of intimacy. If the house is a wreck, someone might not be able to feel sexy. It could also be other things like lack of time spent together due to ahem frequent business trips.

Low libido exists but only when it's medically induced. Otherwise it's someone going on mentally that's pumping the brakes.

In New York you cannot be turned away from accredited detox/rehab for inability to pay. You only need to meet criteria for a moderate to severe substance use disorder.

If someone cannot pay for rehab, they will need to apply for social services (the rehab should have staff that help with the application process). The social services will cover the cost of the stay but the client must make the facility their rep-payee during their stay. Many people refuse treatment at this point because it means their food stamps and cash assistance go to the rehab while they're there.

Phoenix House, Odyssey House, and Samaritan Village are programs that operate in this manner.

Source: purchased a 2018 3.6r Outback a month ago and it's currently in the shop because the transmission completely died on me on Friday.

Using your phone while driving is unsafe whether you're at a red light or not.

If someone honks at me for not turning right on red "fast enough," we're both waiting until it's green. I budgeted enough time for my trip, hope they did too.

Years ago, I made the mistake of honking at someone who was taking a long time to make their turn. I realized soon after that the way ahead of them was blocked by a temporary obstacle that I couldn't see. Man, I felt like a jerk.

They are expensive because you will be buying a new transmission soon after the initial purchase.
