ummmm, helllloooooooooo!? match made in heaven!!!!!!! 😍

Yesyesyes, very cute and all, but for the love of all things holy, do not let your decision on which school you attend be swayed by this guy. Lol. Crushes are very transient even when they don't feel that way. I'm not saying you couldn't hit it off with this guy, sure! But when you meet someone you click with, you usually know (and can form words with many syllables around him, can carry a conversation without listing your train of thought in his eyes, etc.). Otherwise, it's just a crush and it will fade like they always do.

I dunno if you would actually let his placement affect your school choice. I was just trying to make sure it wouldn't. Pick the school that works best for you, period. 🙂

oh no, no WAY would i let HIS placement affect MY school choice 😎 i will end up where *I* want to end up. i swore a long time ago i wouldn't let boys influence anything in my career in any way 🙄

here is the tough part with my situation -- i CAN carry on a conversation, we have this playful banter thing, but i just don't know if it's more of a "older guy being nice to a younger girl" like a "younger sister" kind of thing or if he really is flirting. whenever he is on shift, we always talk a lot, get along really well, etc. but it's hard for me to read him because he is like at least 8 years older than me.

arghhhhh

Oh for goodness sake, life is too short for that. Try: "Would you like to go out with me?"

Girls have such a hard time being straightforward sometimes. Try it. If he says no, you'll live, right?

 

[katsmiaow]

Yo, physiological chemistry cumulative final! Yes, you. You, the haughty self-serving wench of a class. You make me pine for the days of histology, and you know how THAT relationship worked out. But at least I'm through with you. You may have left me broken and diseased, but at least I survived you and can watch you wobble your lonely way to the next victim.

.

Haha! Congrats, LIS! Cut "physiological", insert "organic" and you have my sentiments exactly. 😉

... and you gals wonder why men (such as myself) die younger? The above has to be a contributing factor. Scotch and cigars a close second.

sorry to add to your stress 😉

sometimes i wonder why i'm so crazy/silly. seriously.

 

[Myotis]

Undergrads in my BF's class hitting on him! Irrational rage!!! IRRATIONAL RAGE!!!!

Step off my man, little pre-meds!

Edited to clarify: He is their TA and grades are not in yet. This is inappropriate.

Oh, I am all too familiar with the irrational rage brought on by girls flirting with my man. You should have seen my rage when his ex sent him a birthday card and referred to him by the pet name she had for them when they were together

 

[PetPony]

My bf is 11 years older than me. It was a huge shock to my friends, but my mom loved him from the beginning on. Hahaha

I pretty much asked him to break up with his girlfriend and go out with me. (She was a bitch and always cheated on him. He helped me with my bf that was a jerk - to say it nicely; so I didn't wanna leave him in a relationship like that) We had something going on before that already, so I knew he liked me, so I guess it's different, but still. It can be done. 😉

haha petpony the things you say make me smile 🙂

boys can really drive you crazy though huh? it's really something that i don't like to admit about myself...unfortunately 👎
just gotta build up that courage to ask him to get a drink sometime or something along those lines...🙄

Yes, they can. I love my Mexican, but sometimes.. hahaha don't drink too much. Might end differently than expected..😉

[breenie]

Bitches be crazy.

Hey now, let's embrace sisterhood and fight systematic oppression of women!

Unless they hit on my man. Then bitches be crazy.

 

[Kmeid]

Oh great, my professor didn't get the extension paperwork in on time to stop my incomplete from turning into an F. This... after he completely forgot to get the paperwork in the first time and I had to remind him to grade change it.

I don't have to send these transcripts to vet school or anything. Eeuurgh.

edit: Also... :C, bunnity.

My undergrad research prof did the same thing! It's driving me crazy. I have an "I" for incomplete in her class because she just forgot to submit my grade... I shot her an email and she responded saying its supposed to be an 'A' she just forgot to tell them. ughski. Plus I feel like getting into vet school is my escape from this lab! Otherwise I have another year of graduate research set up for myself with this friendly, but extremely unorganized people.

I just feel so stuck and I just want to go to freaking school and get on with my dream career. I have never sounded like such a whiner in my life, but its just not freaking fair! I'm sorry that I was a B-ish student. Its not like I slacked off, had a bad semester etc, I was serious about my grades from semester one.....I consistently got around a 3.4 3.5 ever semester....thats just what I am! i am a B student and it PISSES me off that it holds me back. I dont think there is anything wrong with graduating with a 3.4 in bio. damn it. I'm just feeling so freaking discouraged. I dont know how those of you ahve applied for more than 2 cycles survive this...

Am i being a big baby?

haha tell the truth 😳)

I'm a pro at the B student range. And I work my tush off for those B's! It's so frustrating when I have straight A friends who truly don't have to work for it. I'm jealous of their brains.

Yo, physiological chemistry cumulative final! Yes, you. You, the haughty self-serving wench of a class.

LOVE this hahah, I have a few classes I'd reserve this title for a few as well.

 

[kaydubs]

Oh for goodness sake, life is too short for that. Try: "Would you like to go out with me?"

I've gone the straightforward route and some boys are like...."Is this a trap? This must be a trap. You're a trappity trap trapper." :sigh: hahaha Maybe I need to stop hanging out with paranoid gamer types...and musicians...😉

Girls have such a hard time being straightforward sometimes. Try it. If he says no, you'll live, right?

Or...yeah, you'll live 😀

🤣 Oh typing comments. That's why I prefer direct communication. Regardless, people always misinterpret what you say. hahahahaha

 

[Myotis]

OMG I feel rage FOR you!!! That would drive me crazy! I probably would have burned that card lol!

Oh, I definitely threw it on the ground and stomped on it, because apparently my irrational fits of rage bring out the two year old in me haha. But my boyfriend handled it really well, it was about a month into our relationship and he didn't know if his ex knew about us, so he called her and told her that he's happily in a new relationship and she needed to stop trying to get him back

In my experience, I've found that the guys worth dating have made the move themselves, and want to make the move. The guys I've been straightforward with have been fun, but also NOT relationship material. And I'm sure that's not the case with all guys, that's just been my experience. But I definitely recommend the straightforward route at least a few times, it's a good confidence booster (even if you get rejected) 😉

 

[EllieGirl89]

I took my mom's dog into the clinic last Friday for his annual checkup/vaccines and I asked the vet about why he's so fat (he doesn't eat NEARLY enough food to maintain the weight he does). He's also pu/pd and pants a lot. Vet was concerned enough to do a resting cortisol/thyroid test. The results came back and his thyroid levels are normal but his cortisol was pretty dang high. He's going in for more tests on Friday to see if he's got Cushings. Needless to say, my mother is frantic and, thanks to Dr. Google, is convinced her dog only has 2 years to live. Blah. Regardless, I feel bad for the little guy 🙁

Dr. Google is never wrong.

The 18th century just mailed, via overland horse, and cordially requested its dating etiquette back.

I find that women who are unable or unwilling to initiate 'the move' are the exact same variety of women who have a 'princess' sticker in the back window of the car and look at a dinner check like it's made of glowing uranium.

 

[deleted387118]

Have you ever read "Every Patient Tells a Story"? Its on the human side of medicine but still a great book. One of the chapters discusses "Dr. Google" and how although most practitioners think of it as the devil, it can actually help DOCTORS make the diagnoses. She theorizes that because they know the more clinical terms they can get more reliable sources faster (Ex. Cardiac infraction vs heart attack). And that for rare diseases its a great tool. I never really thought of Dr. Google in that way and thought it was an interesting perspective.

 

[Trilt]

I came home to my family home for the first time in a couple months, and automatically half-opened the door and leaned my weight against it, expecting our dog to be pushing his way out. We put him down in July. 🙁 Miss my puppy.

oh trilt i'm so sorry 🙁
i totally know how you feel...we put down our dog (the one in my avatar) in May right before my college graduation. it was a very sad time, we still sometimes expect to see him around the apartment and expect him to be there waiting for us when we open the front door and come in from being outside.

:hugs:

 

[PetPony]

My grandpa's German Shepherd had to be put down a year and a half ago. I still cry sometimes when I think about him. Seeing him was one of the things I always looked forward to the most when I came back to Germany. His big kennel is gone outside, but there still isn't anything else there. I know my grandparents sometimes still cry when they think about him. He was one of the best animals I have ever known. When I was younger, I slept with him in a little straw box he had. He was a great dog. I miss him a lot. Especially when I come to Germany and see the empty spot where his kennel used to be. I'm so sorry about your dog. I know how you feel. It's been a while, but it still hurts.

 

[lolobend86]

I'm a pro at the B student range. And I work my tush off for those B's! It's so frustrating when I have straight A friends who truly don't have to work for it. I'm jealous of their brains.

I know!!! I thought Bs were normal and As were exceptional. I got a quick email from Dr.Stewart from admissions at CSU and she told me that it was my mostly Bs and few As that kept me out of the running....she wants to see that I can handle the curriculum. Does a B mean I cant handle it?! DONT THINK SO! GR! So now while working fulltime and taking biochem andanimalnutrition...I still am getting Bs...annd maybe even a freaking C! UGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I HATEEEEEEEE this. I feel so freaking DUMB and discouraged. Thank you for being a memberof the B range with me 😳( Have you applied?Gotten accepted? Give a girl some hope haha

Happy Holidays!

Sorry Trilt, sunnex, and Pet Pony 🙁 This is my second Christmas without my dog Max. He loved opening presents and he thought every present was for him. Every year we would put a bow on his head and take a picture as he posed by his presents. I miss him so much 🙁

 

[finnerma]

Implanon is something to use instead of a baby pill. It's a little thing that they put in your arm and it prevents a pregnancy for 3 years.

PetPony, Its not a big deal at all. They numb your arm and put it in, super quick and easy. I have one and its great. Hope you like yours.

I understand. Holidays make it harder. Seeing their Christmas ornaments, not having them in the Christmas morning photos. Time makes it more manageble but never easy. *hugs*

 

[PetPony]

I like to watch that kinda stuff, because I think it's interesting. i looked away just a few seconds because the needle looked so big. Hahaha. When I looked back it was already done.

😕

I didn't feel a thing. It is very nice, because I don't have to think about it. And it's for three years, so if I end up not going to Germany to my doctor then I still am protected and don't have to worry about getting to pills over to the US.

 

[Bisbee]

Tomorrow morning I'm taking my fifteen and half year old cat to the vet probably for her final journey. She's been going downhill slowly, but this morning she didn't even get out of bed and ate nothing all day. I'll see what the vet has to say, but I'm emotionally preparing myself for the worst. She's so old and has had a really wonderful life with lots of love and cuddling and friendship from humans, other cats and dogs. I don't want her to suffer or starve, but I just wish this wasn't happening so close to christmas. Sad, sad, sad.

so sorry this is happening to you 🙁 this kind of stuff always seems to happen around times when we should be happy...whether it's christmas, thanksgiving, birthdays, graduation...

you'll know when the time is right though...the hard part is acknowledging it and letting go... 🙁

I'm so sorry to hear that as well. 🙁
I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

 

[sunshinevet]

Im so depressed about kitten season. We've had 3 litters surrendered to us this week, on top of the 2 we already have. We're bursting at the seams, and we had to make the hard decision to euth some with deformaties. It's seriously making me hate the human race.

For F*cks sake, spey and neuter your goddamn pets. And don't buy pets for people without asking (we've had a few of these surrendered too).

😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

 

[LetItSnow]

I'm sorry, Bisbee. As much a proponent of euthanasia as I am, I'm dreading that decision with my own pets. My heart goes out to you.

 

[lostbunny]

So sorry to hear Bisbee. But you'll know when its time. My dog was put to sleep last year- and its always nice to be able to let them go 'with dignity', as one of my friends told me. Best of luck tomorrow.

sunnex3: get that guy out of the work environment- go for drinks and kiss him! I'm all for kissing on the first date! 😛

I've had a f*cking **** day. My boyfriends xmas present hasnt arrived yet. therefore its not going to before xmas. Then we had a fight. Then i learned we got rejected from a rental property we really wanted.

you are having a **** day, i'm sorry things aren't going your way! Sometimes what makes me feel better is breaking something 😀 Grab an old plate and throw it against a brick wall... watching it smash is really satisfying 🙂 Tomorrow's a new day... i know thats not really going to make you feel better, but sleep it off and you'll feel better

[lostbunny]

...hahahahaha. if only i had that kind of courage 🙄 i'm still trying to build up the courage to ask him out to get him out of the work environment! 😕

You've got to trick him into it! Even just be casual about it like "hey u got plans for new year, no? Omg come to X (insert favourite night club or wherever you are going) apparently its gonna be siiiick!" . Or even just be blunt and strike up a convo... then just straight up say "we should totally hang out, here's my number/whats your number".

Just an example.. lol play around with it to suit you. But even though you aren't explicitly making the first move, you essentially are because you can trick him into doing things you want him to do. Be flirty/cute at work (but not overly to the point of vomitization) and things may go your way! 😀

Baby steps... make your goal for him to see you in cute clothes as opposed to scrubs. Not that its all about looks, but come on- we're talking crushes and men here for cripes sake! 🙂

Gawd I'm so horrible. I miss girl talk!!! living with boys is no fun 🙁

you have the power!! And yes why the f are you still up?! 😉

 

[katsmiaow]

Tomorrow morning I'm taking my fifteen and half year old cat to the vet probably for her final journey.

So sorry, Bisbee. It's never an easy thing to do, especially around the holidays. I'm glad you've had lots of happy times together.

 

[Bearby]

My kitty is sick and I don't have the slightest idea what's wrong with him. Most of his actions are normal but he's been vomiting/regurgitating when he's eating and looks super nauseated when he's eating. He still wants to eat, he's still relatively active for a cat, I haven't noticed any problems with drinking but I haven't really watched that closely either. It makes me a little bit upset because I mentioned it at the vet's previously at his dental recheck and everyone seemed to think it was just related to the antibiotics (which, granted, I probably would've assumed as well), but it hasn't resolved and it made my uncle's birthday super awkward when I was sobbing while cleaning up vomit in the kitchen.

Oh, also, I only have $138 in my bank account. This means I either have to convince my old boss to let me pay her when my loans come in (which is not likely since she and I didn't end on the best terms), apply for carecredit and get it, or use my dad's credit card and hope he doesn't get upset. Stupid Christmas

 

[kaydubs]

Regrets and sympathies to all during this holiday season. It's so hard to focus sometimes.....I keep thinking about all of the people and animals that are gone from my life whether from circumstances or time or choice. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. I hope you take time to remember the good and spend time with the people and animals that matter most.

I find that women who are unable or unwilling to initiate 'the move' are the exact same variety of women who have a 'princess' sticker in the back window of the car and look at a dinner check like it's made of glowing uranium.

🤣 I like to believe chivalry isn't dead. I like when people hold doors for me. At the same time, I believe in independence. No, I won't spend all your money. I work for a living.😉 The thing that always seems to overwhelm most of the guys in my life is my ambition. They never seem to get where the heck it came from. A lot of times, they try to possess and control it. It never ends well

But I definitely recommend the straightforward route at least a few times, it's a good confidence booster (even if you get rejected) 😉

Sometimes, the "immature" goofballs are my favorite kinds. Yeah, they come with baggage. And complexities. (Heck, so do I) But at the same time, I love those goofballs. Probably cause my brother and dad so influenced my life and continue to do so.

 

[Coquette22]

As some of you saw on the RAVE HERE thread... We got snow. About six inches at my house. I really, really hate snow. Is it pretty? Sure. But now I can 't get out my driveway until one of our neighbours comes, which means I can't go riding. And even if I could get out my driveway, we're always one of the last roads to be plowed. I was gonna go to Mom's house this afternoon to watch Christmas shows and do some baking. 🙁

 

[Bisbee]

First, thank you one and all for your warm thoughts. It really is nice to be in a community of people who understand how hard it is to lose a dear pet, in this case my old cat. I just got home from taking her, and my vet reaffirmed my feeling that the time had come. I was with her there in the end, and didn't even cry until I got into my car holding the empty cat carrier. It will be hardest tonight when my son comes home and I have to tell him the sad news. Sometimes I think it's really about the people losing the animals and not the animals, because this cat really had a great life. Anyway, it's over and I move forward. I have the mindset that now I have room to give another cat in need a happy life and home.
