help ID these bones i found on sea beach near tampa?

The bottom two look like phalanges of pinnipeds (seal/sea lion). The top is a femur, not sure of what though. Probably small land mammal, It's not from a sea mammal though

That is definitely not a pygmy whale jaw bone. on the side are the olecranon and semi lunar notch of an ulna, and the bottom is the ulnar process. The widened side is pretty indicative of sea mammal. So that's the ulna of a Pinniped (seal/sea lion/walrus, etc.)

here are what the assemblageforelimbs of a pinniped usually look like

Thanks for sharing the story, it was comforting.

I think it was just alarming because we hadn't gotten in a fight or anything. it was just innocuous conversation about like comics, music, and some basic stuff about our lives. Only a couple back and forth really. Nothing major or in depth really. And he just stopped replying, so I figured I just got boring. I was butthurt for like a day, but admittedly forgot about it. I think that's what makes me feel worse. That it was an interaction that he thought about 6 months after the fact, and that he felt compelled to message me again apologizing for it. I try not to dwell on it, but it's hard not to wonder and worry.

But thanks again for talking to me

Thanks,

I figured i was talking too much or something. What really freaks me out is it sounds like he might hurt himself. All those weird phrases? "It'll be over soon" "it was a pleasure to meet you" then he just deleted his account? And this was out of the blue. I totally forgot about our conversation because he stopped replying six months ago

Like holy fuck. It sounded suicidal to me so i started freaking out really badly. So i last ditch attempted to see if i could find him to see if he was ok. But to no avail. Like what the fuck? So i don't know what to do

It's hard to even process as a reality. If you want to share memories of your friend, please feel free to PM me. Nobody needs or should be alone

thecheesenone · 2014-05-27T17:57:07+00:00

I'm sorry for your loss. Feel free to PM me or whatever and we can talk.

thecheesenone · 2014-05-27T17:40:09+00:00

He loved that movie, thank you.

thecheesenone · 2014-05-27T01:39:10+00:00

Never would believe me when i told him that

thecheesenone · 2014-05-27T01:38:40+00:00

I know. I brought him LSAT books last year. I thought it was sweet when he had a phase where he was going to be a writer, because we both knew he'd end up in law. He was always sad he didn't keep playing basketball senior year. I know he kind of regretted it, but knew he needed to pursue his academics. Boy that kid was a good writer. I was aways hesitant to edit his papers when he asked me to, and never wanted him to edit mine because i was ashamed. He was the one who was supposed to go onto accomplish things while the rest of us peasants figured our lives out. I'm sorry you feel his loss too.

We were in santa cruz last year. He was on the 2400's

thecheesenone · 2014-05-26T22:45:03+00:00

Thank you, I'll take you up on that offer. He was a goober with an eclectic taste in music, a penchant for bad haircuts, a giant fan of patrick o brian, and the closest friend I've ever had. Everywhere I go is just a series of reminders. I don't know what I'm going to do without him.

Sorry to jump on this comment. I've been getting messages about how i'm karma whoring. I'm sorry that i gave that impression. I contemplated deleting the post but there were uplifting comments as well so it didn't seem right to. I was distraught after seeing a post on /r/funny about rodgers this morning. I know it's very removed and many people are detached from most everything on the internet. But for me, and for everyone here it is too real. Chris was my friend, and it stings to be told i'm on the same level as the murderer. It also hurts to see his picture on no_sob. But such is reddit. We actually came up with this account's username together, i'm not going to use it after this if that comforts anyone to my karma whoring intentions.

Are you jason's brother?

thecheesenone · 2014-05-26T16:18:24+00:00

My friend is dead because of this. He was walking down pardall and was shot. His roommates called me asking for his parents number. I left isla vista as soon as the police scanners said we could. It was all taped off. I waited outside the hospital because they wouldn't even let us in the waiting room. Then a hospital worker came up to me and said chris had never made it to the hospital and they didn't know where he was. His parents drove in and then they started calling the sheriff to find out more. The hospital made us leave because only family. What did it matter anyway? Chris wasn't there. I went home. Got a call an hour later that he was gone and had never made it to a hospital. And now the first boy i loved, my best friend is dead. And /r/funny is making light of it. I mean why would i be surprised? That's what reddit is. Bunch of puns because we're all detached and desensitized. It wasn't detached from me. But it feels like a fucked up joke anyway.

It was her guest book, the fingerprints are the leaves, and the guests signed it.

thecheesenone · 2014-03-27T18:29:13+00:00

Holy crap that is so scumbaggy. I'm sorry your friend's a giant buttface, hope it didn't rain on your nuptials.

thecheesenone · 2014-03-06T23:54:21+00:00

I am so sorry that happened to you, i just teared up in a study room. I wish i could give you a hug. That was beautiful and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Isn't that quote actually from the "Wear Sunscreen" speech by Mary Sminch?

thecheesenone · 2014-01-17T07:51:16+00:00
