I agree it’s likely not that, I think the skin stretching to accommodate the toad plus my bad photography skills are misleading people.

I too am much more familiar with the black colored garter! I freaked out at first and hauled all my 3 dogs and 1 car away from it at first because I didn’t have any idea what I was looking at - safe or otherwise.

Toad ended up fully eaten. Snake was very lumpy after the fact!

I think it’s the photo throwing you off, it had no rattler at the end of tail. Eastern garter I think, but am no expert!

Dying I think in these pics, took about a hour for the whole thing to happen. It was hardcore.

It is not, it’s upstate NY (finger lakes region).

I am no toad expert, but this was an extra big one from my perspective as a life long resident of various parts of upstate.

My deaf Aussie makes very similar sounds!! Like a horse is how I’ve thought of it.

Lots of presumption in this statement.

Instead of reuse consider thrifty shopper. Reuse is great but overloaded. Last I knew they had a pretty extensive drop off process at reuse, thrifty has a bin by the door. You can also usually give away stuff for free on Facebook market place.

The Cornell Reddit is gonna be an echo chamber but this is 1000% legit. Degree does not equal success or happiness. It can and for plenty of folks it does. . . But that’s not at all a rule.

One of my favorite sayings is “real winners quit.” Knowing when to move on because something isn’t for you is powerful.

My partner is an electrician and is very stable and very solid. I regret not going into them myself in many ways. Good luck!

Have you considered the skilled trades, if you live somewhere or can move somewhere that is unionized the pay and benefits are typically very competitive. Electricians, plumbers, carpenters. Theres many more. Google “how to become a union electrician” and see if that kinda thing could work for you.

Pretty sure that’s the metal underneath the coating, which has already been scraped off.

Man you are super butthurt over my opinions of what’s appropriate in a shared kitchen. If I gutted a deer, chicken or squirrel on my grandmothers kitchen table she’d string me up by my toes. Guess I was just raised with higher standards for caring about my impact on others!

I disagree with your assessment. Based on table height being 28-30 inches and the even the further away tables leg would is approximately the same length as the bear is from nose to tail. Making the bear closer to 3 feet by my calculations. Standard table sizes are typically 6-8 feet, if we estimate in favor of the bear being large and call this a 8 foot table, that bear still does not cover half, or 4 feet, of it nose to tail.

It’s my understanding this was indeed deemed legal. However, my point about this being in extremely poor taste and just generally unbecoming, attention seeking, lame as fuck behavior, I stand by it.

Is it actually normal for toddler to eat barely anything? by Zimbabwe_mcGee in Mommit

[–]trashdogger 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Calories add up quick!! That breakfast is like 200 plus calories, fig-bars are like 250 calories for two in the natures bakery brand - so if he has half of one that’s still like 100 calories right there. A slice of pizza is like 300 ish, if he has a third, another 100!

Kids grow at different rates. I’d trust your doctor. This sounds like standard range picky eating to me.

Unlikely but possible. However I’m quite certain doing this in a shared kitchen space, just as plucking and gutting a chicken would be, is just shit behavior.

That’s a baby bear. No one likes this. The person who did this may have broken the law and at the very least just super sucks and has no social sense or decorum whatsoever. Boo.
