I'll eat it for youWe had Chinese yesterday night, Papa John's for lunch (2nd pizza $0.50 thanks to the Broncos) and Culver's for dinner (school fundraiser).
I don't think I can handle anymore grease and fast food for at least a week...
What is the reasoning behind this? That it's inappropriate for the school to find adoption matches internally?So we're being bombarded with emails from our school asking us to contact our legislators and voice our opposition over a proposed bill that would require all research animals to be offered to any rescue organization before the school itself seeks adopters through the student body, faculty, etc. Is this an issue in anyone else's state? I guess this bill was fueled by animal rights activists, but it ignores the fact that these animals may have peculiar needs that the average person in our community may/may not be qualified to meet.
You're weird.I mostly want to be a chicken and sheep vet, though...love me some chickens and sheep.
Not that it's innappropriate...but based off the info I've been given (by the school, so it maybe biased), the groups pushing this bill may feel that we don't do enough to ensure that these animals are found homes instead of euthanasia, or that they feel they'd find better homes I guess. Our school in particular has a really high success rate of adopting out research animals that didn't need to be euthanized for the experiment itself. Here's the bill itself: http://ilga.gov/legislation/fulltex...92479&DocNum=4297&GAID=13&Session=&print=trueWhat is the reasoning behind this? That it's inappropriate for the school to find adoption matches internally?
These are the listed exceptions: "The dog or cat has a behavioral or temperamental defect that poses a risk to the public. The dog or cat has symptoms of a disease, injury, or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the dog or cat. The dog or cat is in need of maternal care and has been impounded without its mother."
Maybe it's just me, but maybe research animals might just have a condition that adversely affects their health. Not all the time, but I feel like it's a high enough chance that the school could get an exception for almost any animal if they worded their appeal correctly.
But why pass a law that nearly 100% of the animals are "excluded" from? That makes it a pointless law. Not only that, but a waste of money for the schools to have to spend more time/energy into explaining why an animal isn't suitable to be adopted by the public instead of them just adopting the animals out internally as they do now.
No need for the law. But can't say that I am surprised that an animal rights group came up with this... not in the least bit.
Not only that, but it further congests and clogs up animal rescues/shelters that may be or are possibly already at full capacity. Basically, it is an incredibly pointless and stupid law.
All I think when I see an opossum is EPM.For my fellow opossum lovers

I've tried them. I've also tried a few apps. So far, I don't like any of them as much as my little fan. I even travel with it.Does anyone use a white noise marker? I currently just run a little fan, but I feel like I might be happier with something else.

Would y'all eat this??

It's cake. I will eat cake. Though I do have limits of what cakes I'll eat. Some of the really weird stuff on cakewrecks... Nope. But that heart cake? Cut me a piece of left ventricle, please.

Yes, though I hate when I have to remove a layer of fondant from any cake to get to the enjoyably delicious parts.
We had a lunch talk from one of the corporate vet chains that offers an internship, and they sold it as getting several years of experience in one year. I know they were just trying to sell their program, but they made it sound pretty attractive. I actually considered it, but I will likely decide I need to start making real money sooner due to my age.Ok, I need advice. If senior vet students/new grads/more established vets, etc. wouldn't mind chiming in here...
I'm a vet student that did a 180 flip and would like to pursue SA general practice (the last thing I ever thought I would do) but I'm limited in my SA experience because I was very focused prior to vet school on something completely different. I was a tech assistant for a few months during the school year at an emerg practice and have a "tech asst with vet student learning opportunities" position this summer at a different place (I've done various SA volunteering as a pre-vet, worked as a receptionist, etc. but it was pretty minor). Upon a recent discussion with my mentor (a retired SA gen practice owner), I've become confused as to what I should be doing after graduation with practice ownership as a goal in the future. He has said that I shouldn't be writing off an internship as good mentorship and exposure would be valuable for me. However, I was always under the strong impression that an internship would be overkill for someone not looking to do emerg or specialize?
Is this still the general consensus - that it's largely unnecessary? I don't care to sell my soul for a year when I'm not pursuing specialization, but are there internships that would be more reasonable for a general practitioner looking for mentorship and confidence?
Any input would be appreciated.

Yes it was VCA. There isn't a VCA near where I live, so I don't know much about them. I've heard some people say they don't care for them while others seem to like them. While I might not be interested in a VCA internship specifically, they also spoke to the benefits of a rotating internship no matter where you do it (given case load, available/willing mentors etc). I could see how it would give you a lot of experience in several areas that are beneficial to gp in a short period of time. I think as long as you get into an internship that is a good fit, it's probably not a bad idea.Haha you caught my post before I decided to move it to a specific thread. Was it VCA?
I just let it fluff. My hair cut is meant to incorporate the natural fluffiness and my total lack of desire to put any time whatsoever into styling.Ugh short hair sometimes. When it gets fluffy you can't borrow gel from your friends like you could borrow hair ties when you had long hair. Any short haired ladies relate?
This is why I keep my hair super duper long. It still fluffs because that is life, but the length weighs down the fluff. Sometimes.Ugh short hair sometimes.

I've cut mine short twice (several years apart) and hated it both times. Did not suit my face. The tangles are a menace but I only really bother with them twice a week, when my hair is drenched and full of conditioner. Hence the necessity of a shower drain cover...This was me for years and years until I got sick of tangles. I started cutting it off slowly three years ago until I gradually had nothing!
Where I currently work is a VCA Emergency and Specialty. The interns seem to really like it. They occasionally complain they are overworked, but they seem to tout the exposure to experiences during the rotation through the specialties as pretty darn awesome.Yes it was VCA.

Sometimes the dog poops it out and it gives her a dingleberry.
I miss my short hair so much some days, but I have super fine hair so it doesn't fluff, it just statics. But I have gained some weight and I just don't think it would look great now, plus the 'growing out' phase is basically the worst thing ever.
Here is some obnoxious stuff about having long hair, though - since this is the longest my hair has ever been.
- Shedding. Everywhere. All the time. Woven into clothing, clogging the drains, floating around the car, stuck to anything fleece. Sometimes the dog poops it out and it gives her a dingleberry.
- Closing it in the car door or window.
- Brushing it out after a shower. Unless you saturate it with leave-in conditioner, which in turn makes my fine straight hair even more straight and scraggly.
- Putting on a backpack or purse and getting hair caught under it
- So much cute stuff to do with long hair, but really it's just ponytails and braids and buns
- Slightly damp hair and wanna sleep? Hello super soggy pillow. And forget about it drying fast on its own...
- Wanna sleep without getting strangled by your hair? Better put it up or braid it. It'll be weirdly curly tomorrow as a result, so plan to have it up in a bun then too.
- Trying to eat? Oh, there is a hair in your food. Oh wait, it's still attached to your head. Sigh.
How do you strangle yourself with your hair? Are you constantly tossing and turning? I don't think I've ever closed my hair in a car door or window either. My hair is so damn oily naturally that brushing even right after a shower isn't a big deal, actually if I don't do that I'll be cursing later as I try to brush through a giant tangled and curly mess.
The rest is fairly accurate except replace dog with cat. I despise short hair though so I'm biased towards long hair.
