I've been saying jif for like 20 years. Not much hope of it changing now xD

I can't weigh in on the hotdog debate. The last time I ate a hotdog was likely before most of you were born. ☕
It's jif. You know, short for jraphic interchange format. Duh.
This diagram of a GI obstruction is the absolutely cutest representation a disease I've ever seen:
I think Google Maps needs to have a "most reasonable route" option. Yes theres shortest time and shortest distance, but does either one of those really matter if you wind me down a whole bunch of random streets to save 60 seconds and then I miss my turns because I'm very confused? silly.
So...I have a joint disorder which makes it easy for me to trip, fall, or lose my balance. Then I got this fortune:

It is Friday the 13th 😕 Maybe you should just stay in bed
The dog is frowning! LOLThis diagram of a GI obstruction is the absolutely cutest representation a disease I've ever seen:
you would be too if you had a GI foreign body
Very true!
Also if your SI attached to your bladder...
I thought that same thing when you posted that! Lol
Haha I thought it was an oddly weird cecum and was wondering why the rectum would exit to an anus located so far ventral
Glad they made sure to specify the foreign body as a tennis ball. I thought it was a sock.
I finally got an MRI for my shoulder. Boy, should I have gone for an open MRI! Next time I won't give myself so much credit...I definitely won't go for closed ever again. I knew I had some degree of claustrophobia, but thought I could tough it out. Nope.

I always nap during MRIs.
@wheelin2vetmed you need to make your school do this! (Sorry the picture is so giant, I don't know how to make it smaller)
I think I hyperventilated myself into a nap. Either that, or 30 minutes goes by reaaaally fast when you're having an anxiety attack. My anxiety settled down a little bit when I tried distracting myself (I was planning my dinner for the night...), but got really bad when my entire arm went numb. I had to place my shoulder in a 'holder' thing that eventually cut off circulation and also did a good job at pressing on the most painful points in my shoulder. Hopefully it gives me the answers I need.

That's adorable. Old guy's quite learned.
Yea, I wasn't even going to go to the ceremony thing, but I will absolutely petition that my dog gets an honorary degree. He's definitely received a college education.
I want to adopt a pet mouse from the wildlife center breeding/feeding stock.. It is an adorable, pure tan, little hopper, same color as your standard hamster. I really don't want it to be euthanized and fed to something... And mice are super easy and cheap to care for. Plus they are so smart and cute!! And this particular one is super sweet! But I already have 2 dogs, a cat, a snake, and an aquarium full of fish. Someone tell me I don't need any more pets! 
your snake and cat say go for it 😉I want to adopt a pet mouse from the wildlife center breeding/feeding stock.. It is an adorable, pure tan, little hopper, same color as your standard hamster.

LOL, that's what my SO says. "the cat will get him!" and "the snake will smell him and bite us!"
But my come backs to him are that well, he's going to be euthanized anyways so no great loss if the cat kills him a little later... and what is soap for if not to erase mousy smells on your hands before handling the snake??
I actually found the mouse because I was searching for some good sized feeder mice to euthanize to feed my snake with.. But I couldn't bring myself to kill this one! SOOOO cute and sweet!

One of the vets I work with has 3 dogs, 2 cats, a bird, and two aquariums full of fish. So clearly it would be ok for you to have a mouse 😉I want to adopt a pet mouse from the wildlife center breeding/feeding stock..

Never ask a bunch of animal lovers to persuade you out of getting another animal [emoji39]
mice are not super nice and can give you diseases like LCMV, tetanus, etc. Also, how traumatizing would it be for the mouse to have a cat constantly watching it?I want to adopt a pet mouse from the wildlife center breeding/feeding stock..

I knew a vet who had 2 dogs, 4 cats, 3 African greys, two rabbits, a tortoise, and, seriously, and entire garage full of venomous snakes and other reptiles.
Get the mouse.
I work at a clinic and someone dropped off a rabbit they didn't want... Guess who owns him now?
Give the snake its dinner....

He looks so chill it's ridiculous
I'm thinking about putting him in the guest room where the door stays closed. A mouse was my first pet.. I got her in the 4th grade and she died the summer before high school. Her name was Pepper. She knew her name, was partially litter box trained, and the sweetest thing ever. She ended up dying because my little brother opened her cage and forgot to close it, and my moms cat got her. It was awful 🙁
I'm not so worried about diseases because I work with them all the time at multiple jobs anyways... Ugh. But my SO really doesn't want another pet. He knew what he was getting himself into when he started dating me, right? 😛
My bun sleeps like this! Or full out on his side or with his legs in the air. Sometimes I have to poke him to make sure...

ok. you should know the risks and benefits of any pet. Living with a rodent is more dangerous than working with them in terms of certain diseases.

Feed mouse to snake.

Aww, I love mice! I had pet rats for years, so of course I think you should take the mouse cause they're basically mini rats 😉
I've been wanting to adopt some more rats lately. Mine all past away shortly before college starts and I haven't had anymore since. The shelter does have a few in right now....
My sister had rats. They are awesome pets!! That's great that the shelter has done for adoption, I didn't know they did that. We did have a bunny at my local shelter once!
mice are not "mini rats" they usually have completely different temperaments. Also physiologically, they have some major differences. Rats typically have social structures that mice don't.
The shelters around here have so many rodents and rabbits for adoption! We also have a few bunny rescues, ferret rescues and a rat rescue. It's probably a regional thing, but our shelters are pretty good about taking in rodents.
Yes, I know. It was a joke. Appearance wise, they look similar. Personality wise I know they are completely different.
I gathered that by the wink but I wanted to make sure other people knew the differences...
