Yeah, same. I never need to visit reddit or twitter or whatever because all the good stuff trickles down to this place.

It's honestly really nice not to have to dig through trash myself.

Depending on the medicine, Benadryl for example- but be careful and don't use too much and don't use (children's usually) versions that contain xylitol.

When I had to give my cat some corticosteroid injection many years ago - remembering an old screencap of a post from maybe bodybuilding.com about "how do I get my cat buff" - I briefly thought about how pets would handle anabolic steroids and made myself sad because I'm pretty sure some lovely dog owners do exactly that.

The holiday reps are basically just drunk kids partying with other drunk kids.

Found this googling when someone asked the same thing you did:

"Holiday representative. They look after clients usually 18-30yrs on package holidays at places like Ibiza, Magaluf etc. They sort out airport transfer, getting them into accomodation, organise activities and just make sure their clients have a good time. Activities include forfeits to keep things interesting."

This scientific documentary gives you an idea of the scene:

This person is watching the same show as me, so with Lobsterminator's post and this, it's no doubt the represenative career stuff. Appreciate both of your responses!

For better or worse, this is probably true. I had a dude and his girlfriend try to convince me to be a practice canvas for him while I was working as an overnight gas station worker, which is the closest I came to that whole amateur tattoo world. If the guy had better tattoos of his own, I was young and dumb enough to have maybe taken him up on that offer. Sliding doors and all that.

Sometimes the vet has given me a script to take to the regular pharmacy to fill stuff that they don't have in stock. Script says for dog on it and everything. It's the exact same drugs a lot of the time. But also some things do not go well with some animals so don't just go getting your pet to eat up the dropped ibuprofen or what ever because you cbf bending over to pick it up.

My dog has a grain allergy, so I have to get him grain-free food. Which got slightly harder to find once people discovered that giving dogs grain-free food is associated with DCM, a degenerative health issue that damages the heart. It's still available, fortunately, but the brand I used to use proudly announced their "new recipe, with healthful grains!" which was a bit irritating.

Why would an ambulance be leaving the hospital?

Certain medicines are completely safe for humans and completely deadly to animals. Cats can't handle tylenol. Dogs can't handle ibuprofen. Never improvise with this stuff. Getting the right dosage alone would need a thorough understanding of your pet's metabolic systems.

Yes, though Father is also fine, it depends on the individual and area- I doubt they'd do anything except correct you to their preference.

Most female Christian priests I have met are from denominations where Pastor is the preferred address. In the end it’s the same as anyone else, just be respectful and listen if they ask you to change how to refer to them.

Taking the term "Koopaling" to a whole new level since 2016.
Had a guy at work talking about how, sometimes when he drinks alcohol, his jaw hurts. Our initial theory was that there was some kind of infection, but he said it was like, the entire lower jaw, and we were all pretty sure he'd have noticed something like that. What's the deal? I've never heard of such a thing, but I'm not doubting the guy or anything; it's just such an odd thing.

I don't know, but I semi-frequently get a sharp stinging along my jaw when I eat very strongly flavored stuff, especially citrus. Not like the lip pucker of something sour, actual pain, and it can happen with entirely non-sour sweet stuff too.

The mandibular nerve is a major nerve that runs through the entire lower jaw, that's the first thing I (not a doctor) could think of that would cause pain or discomfort along the entire jaw. No clue how alcohol is affecting it tho

i get this too but not only with certain strongly flavored foods, but with alcohol as well. It's not really pain but it's a really strong sensation, like whatever is there is really sensitive to what you're eating/drinking. it's extremely unpleasant and I stop consuming whatever it is. What is it?

No idea, you're right that it's like not exactly pain, it's just intense enough to be called it for lack of a better word. I find if I just wait for it to subside, I can eat it without a problem.
