Veterinary School Application Advising Ad
This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
Grandfather got an old crappy laptop at a garage sale, has asked me to get it set up and working. Laptop is almost a decade old, internet access on it is so not working and I'm really burnt out on problem solving my families' tech problems. There's a reason I'm going to vet school, not anything computers related...
 
From MrsSOV:

Loose translation: "It rains in my heart as it rains in the city"

MrsSOV just heard that a friend/surrogate mother of hers from Tokyo died over a week ago, and she just found out (e-mail fail). And it IS pouring outside right now - and inside.
 
Oh noes.... tell MrsSOV... so very sorry... I am sure she is heartbroken and it is hard enough finding out by email, let alone a week later.

I've been away for a week on vacation.

I don't live with the cleanest roommate ever. I got a message today saying she was leaving for the night and apologized for the mess. She said she will clean up on Monday.

I have no idea what I am going to find tonight when I get home. I am not looking forward to it!

If she's anything like my roommate... ack! :scared: I'm so sorry you have to deal with that too. My roommate has been saying he'll clean the kitchen for a week. Find out today, he's having friends over tonight and STILL hasn't cleaned the kitchen. There are dishes everywhere. He laughs when I say it is embarrassing to have people come over and see that. I live here too! (I am usually the one who cleans, everything.)

I definitely know what you are feeling.
 
Have to do anesthesia on a cat with a 5/6 murmur tomorrow... It's the vet's cat and I've been told we probably have a 50/50 shot of it surviving surgery. Awesome.
 
All of the electrical outlets in my flat are not working... I heard a loud pop and then they all stopped working... Had to leave a message for maintenance.. My laptop is going to die any second and I now have no phone to use because it is also almost dead.

loudness of murmur does not indicate severity of disease. I hope the kitty does well.
 
Argh!! For all the hype in the US military about getting an education, they make it pretty much impossible to do anything but get anything but an overpriced generic online degree.

Anyways, I found out today that there is no way I am going to be able to complete a 4 year degree through any college before I attempt to apply. I know it isn't necessary. I just didn't realize how important completing it was too me after working on it for this long. 😛
 
My brother bought me a bottle of vodka when the bf left and told me to have a few glasses with my friend who got dumped and then found out she got cheated on. But he kept saying that I need to promise to not leave the house after drinking. Fine. I wouldn't anyways. But fine.

He went to a party with my little sister last night and made her the DD. She literally just got her license about a week ago - and he got her to drink. So she was drinking underage and then he let her drive herself to my house with his friend who just kept passing out in the car. Seriously? I thought my brother was better than that! It makes me so mad!
 
😱 that is NOT ok. And I know she's young and your brother obviously wasn't a good influence but you can't blame it all on him. She has to be responsible for her own actions too. I used to work for a DUI place and it can really ruin your life. Especially that young. Hope they can both grow up a bit before something bad happens 🙁

I know I can't blame it all on him, but still. He's the one getting the alcohol, so he should be a bit more responsible. She just started drinking, too. So she has no idea how much she can take and how she reacts to it. And he's so big brotherly with me (and I'm used to drinking!) that I expected more from him with her.

He's been in trouble for underage drinking here, but he didn't have to pay for it himself so he's not worried about it at all.

Hope he can wise up before he gets hurt. Sorry you have to worry about them 🙁

This belongs in the rave thread, but kitty did great! Actually was pretty easy anesthesia as far as it goes. Yay!
 
It would have been my dog's fifteenth birthday today (the one we had to euthanize on NYE). I miss her so much 🙁 But I know she made it easier for me to go to vet school because I would have never been able to leave her. RIP Ginger 🙁

I hear you. I think I've been having anxiety attacks. My chest starts to hurt, I feel nauseous and can't get comfy. Mostly right now when it comes to spending money. I have almost none. Just remember things work out. We're also hear to listen to it all.

Mini rant: I clean my guinea pigs' cage. It looks all nice and pretty. Within 15 minutes they mess it up again. 😡

That's like when you scoop the cat box and the cat is immediately like "Sweet, a clean place to poop!"

Yeah I think I get those on occasions too. My chest hurts and it's kind of hard to breathe. Totally thought I was having a heart attack the first time :laugh:

It was bad yesterday. We had to go grocery shopping and I was totally fine before and once we got home. The whole process was not fun. I think it's also why I napped for 4 hours within two hours of waking up on Friday.

🙁 Sorry for that. But naps are nice, it's even better when you have a reason for one 😳

It's okay. It was just weird for me. I'll take afternoon naps, but it's very rare for me to sleep all morning long. Today has been pretty good. I'm weird in that I like the idea of change, but it takes me a while to get used to the actual change itself.
 
We think that my breathing problems might be from anxiety. I don't know. Hopefully the health center will have everything figured out with my ID by next week so I can go to the doctor..
 
My dog gets upset when I yell at the TV or computer. I'm just being an enthusiastic sports fan, and she raises her hackles and starts barking at the "threat." It'd be cute if it weren't so annoying.

My dogs now equate TOUCHDOWN with treats because I started feeling like I had to reward them for sharing my excitement.

I leave treat bags next to the couch during football season.

I have the same problem with my whippet/setter mix. She gets all riled up as soon as I start the yelling and fist shaking when watching my sports :laugh:

Same thing's been happening to me since about April. Vision is fine and I have been avoiding the doctor.... I will go when I eventually get tired of being mildly-moderately nauseous 80% of the time. It's just stress, but that doesn't make it less annoying.
 
I've been sniffing myself all night wondering where this horrendous non-neutered tom cat piss smell was coming from (even after I showered). Then I noticed my girl kitty cat foaming at the mouth near my shoes so naturally I went over and took a good whiff. So strong it almost knocked me out. Like it burned a hole into my brain.

WHAT BAD KITTY SPRAYED MY FOOT TODAY 😡??? AND HOW DID I NOT NOTICE!?!?

😆 That is soooo terrible but incredibly funny!! My dad shot a skunk outside my window when I was in middle school. The skunk managed to empty its entire scent sac though. The next day in band, everyone kept wrinkling their nose and asking who smelled like skunk... it wasn't until I opened my clarinet case and the stench wafted out full strength that I realized I was the culprit! :annoyed: :laugh:

Little backstory here first. Roommate is a guy. I moved in with him to take over his wife's lease. They are getting a divorce, still legally married after months of both being too lazy to do paperwork! Roommate was 'seeing' this crazy lady(10 years older than him, mind you) for a few weeks last year. Decided she was bat **** crazy and stopped seeing her. She pesters him a LOT to come help paint, or bring her to work, or move something. Drives him insane, but he still goes and helps, and then I have to listen to him complain about it.

So, last week he tells me he is having dinner with her and then doesn't come home that night. I understand when you just have to get some, but come on! There were so many other better options! (I am not one of them, he's too negative, hates life, way too depressed and down on himself/others and downright gross. I'm going crazy just living with him! House is too cheap to justify moving though. I'm hoping he finds a job elsewhere and moves first)

And now, I find out she is spending the weekend living on our couch because she 'can't afford to drive back and forth to her job'. (she works here PT, lives 20 miles away) He didn't ask me, just told me. I offered to give her $20 for gas, to keep her out of our house, but he said he already offered her that. I call :bullcrap:

My roommate and I have opposite schedules from her this weekend, so she will be in the house ALONE! I do not trust her. AND she will have to get up at the buttcrack of dawn, so I can't sit in my comfy chair in the living room listening to music when I get off of work at 2am. I have to hole up in my bedroom. Grrrrrrr.

AND she had the balls to just say she was bringing her dog. I put my foot down to THAT. No way! Especially, when she didn't even ask. Her dog is one of them yappy tiny dogs and my cat does not like dogs. My cat would beat the **** out of that little thing, and I don't want that fight in my house when we are not there.

And on top of that, our house is a disaster. Does he even think to help clean? NO. I, for one, do not like a dirty house when people come over. And she's suppose to be here in FOUR hours! 😡🙁

She has a 9(?) year old daughter, full custody I think, and a dog. Where are they staying while she is here?!

:annoyed:
Click to expand...


Well, she's back. :bang: Came over last night unexpectedly, (roommate 'forgot' to say she was coming:wtf:). I could hear them giggling in his room last night, before putting headphones in :barf: He left for work this morning, she stayed to sleep in. She left sometime in the afternoon to go to work.

Roomate got home from work and sat down on the couch and looked at me. Says, 'well, she wants a relationship.' To which I asked 'Do YOU want a relationship with her?'. He says, 'I don't know. I want to be single for awhile to find myself and I just don't know. I don't know what I should do. Blah blah blah.'
:slap:

And now she's BACK TONIGHT!! Did NOT know she was coming back again. Oh and did I mention, her soon-to-be ex-husband is battling cancer! 😱 Going through chemo, and going through crap with her. I guess her daughter stays with dad when she is here. The two dogs and two cats stay at home, alone.

Argh!! None of this would bother me, if he hadn't been smack talking about her a few months ago. He doesn't have the balls to ever say no. Low self-esteem. Moderate to severe depression, not on meds.

I just wish I could be somewhere else tonight. At least I get my living room in the middle of the night, as she'll be in his room. :barf:
 
So the BF lost a friend and mentor he's known since he was 6 this weekend. This was the guy who was BF's wingman the night he met me. He fell overboard from his sail boat while taking a couple on an excursion around San Diego's harbor and they were so incompetent with boats that they radioed for help but couldn't turn the boat around and get back to Ron before he drowned.

BF is more torn up than he wants to admit. I am sad for him and for the loss of our friend, he was one of those people who just lit up a room by walking in.
We rescued his cat who lived on the boat with him from the county shelter. Anyone need a good first mate?
 
My internship placement this summer was misleadingly optimistic about my days off. In that they led me to believe that I would consistently get them. 'oh, we just need to fill these shifts...' which is manageable when there's 4 students, but not so much when there's 2. And next week and probably the week after, I'm going to be the only one. :scared: I really hope I'm not suddenly on call 24/7, I did not sign up for that!

It's so hard to lose people and sometimes I think it's even harder to watch someone else lose them. You feel helpless in making them feel better and I think that's the worst. Sorry to hear about Ron. He sounds pretty awesome.

Exactly how I feel, helpless. 🙁

A note for the awesome category (maybe) -apparently Ron was buck nekkid when they pulled him out of the water. I had always heard stories that he occasionally went sailing nude, but I can't help but :roflcopter: at that!
