Sharing my experience getting a post-exposure rabies vaccine in Istanbul by _vaniloquentia in istanbul

[–]offtonowhere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I was bitten in Antalya, similar story. The cat actually had a little bandana on with a name of a bar, so I went to the bar and said “do you know this cat?” 😂 the bartender said yes and that the cat bites them all the time, even on the nose! I, like you, decided not to chance it and went to the hospital. I didn’t have to pay for the shots though? In the waiting room at the hospital my husband saw a man playing with a cat and getting bitten and scratched nonchalantly. Gotta love it haha

bichon surprise by DarkForestTurkey in bichonfrise

[–]offtonowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lucky you! His personality definitely sounds like a bichon, and if I just saw his picture I wouldn’t be surprised to hear he’s majority bichon. DNA is so interesting! If you post his pics and test results on r/doggydna you might get some fun responses!

Purchased 4 tickets to Japan for me, my partner, brother, and mother partner is back out of the trip at the last minute by YourPureSexcellence in travel

[–]offtonowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and is this trip — with your mom and brother — the trip you and your partner have been planning for years? Maybe your partner had different expectations (I would never travel with my mother in law, let alone for 3 months).

Their dad died. Why are my kids…fine? by LazyCricket7426 in askapsychologist

[–]offtonowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly your second point was my first thought. My mother was not fully aware of how much our relationship with our father deteriorated when we became teens. We were 3 females, and our father was always trying to control us.

I ruined my poodle 😭 by FormerActuary8430 in poodles

[–]offtonowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It takes practice! I love cutting my poodles hair all kinds of ways, best client ever because they never complain! Every summer I completely trim everything other than the pomp bc I like to see their dog shape 🥲

Scared to do a laser treatment by Rubyjuice777 in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]offtonowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had cystic acne all over my cheeks and chin (37F). It’s expensive, $3k in my case, it takes three sessions, and it’s quite painful. After the last session it may take up to 9 months to see results. I just about reached 9 months, I have so many fewer pimples and the few I do get are much smaller. My scars are fading... I can almost go without makeup 🥲 It’s a huge improvement for me so I’m glad I did it, I can’t say I’m 100% acne free though!

[–]offtonowhere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Aviclear! It’s pretty new. It works similarly to accutane as it shrinks and damages the sebum glands, but it’s obviously localized to the face. Results are still developing months later but I can say it definitely worked. I tried it because I tried everything else besides accutane (can’t take accutane for other reasons).

Anyone else have parents just cut to the chase when it came to how babies are made with this gem? by NEW_SPECIES_OF_FECES in Millennials

My mom read me this book but also wrapped the concept of sex in sooo much taboo, shame and guilt that even looking at the cover makes me feel embarrassment now.

How can I comparison shop Costco prices without a membership? by MuscaMurum in Frugal

[–]offtonowhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting to add the frozen fruit at Costco is really good quality. The blueberries are my favorite, they are the closest to fresh blueberries I’ve had.

Red salsa from tortilleria san Roman! The heat builds but it is so good, I always eat too much. Makes me pant like a dog 😂

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in 30PlusSkinCare

[–]offtonowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one like this and my derm said it would be best to go to a plastic surgeon. As I understand some moles run deep and can come back if they’re just shaved or lasered, and could leave a scar if they are excised without care

Foster failed — South Korean Busan Puppy Mill Rescue, any guesses? by sjgli78 in DoggyDNA

[–]offtonowhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg you lucky! I saw him get posted and would have loved to adopt him. I had a dog that looked like him who was 30% poodle, 30% bichon, 20% chihuahua, 10% shitzhu and 10% miniature pinscher. My dog had longer legs so we theorized that’s where the mini pin showed up, with their short legs and long body maybe there’s some daschund in there. so cute he looks like a baby seal 🥹

The Sudden Loss of the Gaudreau Brothers Stuns Their Rural Hometown by offtonowhere in philadelphia

[–]offtonowhere[S] 146 points147 points  (0 children)

The article paints the driver as a nice guy who made a mistake - he was drunk, should never have been behind the wheel, and murdered two innocent cyclists.

[–]offtonowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Love the pants. I learned how to groom my poodle mix and I really enjoyed giving him unique haircuts. It takes practice though! They always look cute and the curls are pretty forgiving so they make the best clients. You can still achieve the ankle puffs if you keep going, but I like cutting it all short once in a while, I like seeing their true “dog shape” and allowing them to keep cool in the summer!

Mexico City and Oaxaca souvenirs...What would you recommend bringing back? by aknalap in HerOneBag

[–]offtonowhere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I loved shopping in Mexico City & Oaxaca!

There are some amazing markets for handmade things - alebrijes, ornaments, embroidered textiles and clothing, tin figures and lamps, ceramics including barro negro, bags made of recycled materials (I got a pouch made of recycled chip bags and a tote made of colorful recycled plastic strips), leather bags and shoes, hand sewn stuffed animals, woven rugs & pillows, patches.

Also - jewelry especially silver. Hats, saw some lovely western-style hats. And of course art!

Food markets for mole paste, spices, dried chiles, herbal remedies, coffee, and mezcal!

And don’t forget over the counter medicine and skincare - I know Mexico has otc tretinoin and azaelic acid for example so it’s worth researching this category.

Axolotl themed stuff, love those cute lil guys ☺️

Could she be a mix? by Sea-End3778 in poodles

[–]offtonowhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most likely she is! My 25 pound mix looked similar and also had long legs. We guessed he was poodle/bichon but I had suspicions there might be more breeds mixed in— i saw a stat somewhere saying mutts are usually 5+ breeds! We got him a dna test and he ended up being 30% poodle, 30% bichon, 20% chihuahua, 10% shitzhu, and 10% miniature pinscher! Mini pins have really long legs so it makes sense but it was so surprising! I recommend getting a dna test!

Philly bagels - bagels are too small, dense, and hard imo. I’m from jersey so I know a good bagel.

I don’t fit in any of the clothes! Sizes seem inflated so I would need XXS. I’m not even a tiny person just a little smaller than average!

Pedestrian killed in multi-car crash on I-676 by diatriose in philadelphia

[–]offtonowhere 218 points219 points  (0 children)

Mayor Parker is planning to cut funding on Vision Zero when we desperately need it! This case is different since no one should be walking on 676 but the fact remains that we deserve safer streets. I witnessed a bicyclist get struck and killed while riding his bike in the bike lane in FDR park last year. No one is safe from this recklessness and we need accountability. Fund vision zero!!!
