Mine didn't translate into breathing issues per se. I seriously thought I was having a heart attack the first time. But yeah, I totally didn't feel overly anxious about anything (until I thought I was having a heart attack lol)

My anxiety translated into breathing issues and heart palpitations. I felt like I couldn't breathe and hyperventilated into fainting at work before.... that was a fun trip to the ER.

So yeah, anxiety = breathing issues depending on the person.
 
Just spent another $700 at the vet with kitty.

Banging my head against the wall.

I'm not sure whether to treat her diarrhea empirically and hope that something works or spend money on diagnostics to find a cause. WHY WON'T SOMEONE JUST TELL ME WHAT TO DO 🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁🙁

I feel your pain. I've been doing this for 7 years with no answers :annoyed:
:xf: They can figure it out soon for you and your kitty.
 
Not sure why I'm told I don't communicate well enough when the person I need to communicate with doesn't answer my messages. Facebook is telling me she's seen them. Even a yes or no answer would be appreciated. 😡

I don't really like that either. Especially when I don't want to talk to someone. :laugh:

But it does make me really mad this time. It's her job to help us and she just ignores me.
 
I really don't wanna go out to bike to work. It's too cold. :scared:

I really wish someone could help me get my permit and then my license. My mom already has a car picked out for me if I do, but she's not here to help.
 
:cry: When I signed up to be part of the Community Writing Center for another tutor's citizenship project, it was supposed to be 2 hours every other Saturday starting at noon. Somehow without warning, it ended up being 3-4 hours, every Saturday, starting at 10am. Which means I'm giving up all of my Friday nights and a good chunk of every Saturday morning for the foreseeable future--at least the rest of the semester, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was the whole year. I am not okay with this development. This isn't what I signed up for...but I'm signed up for it anyway, and there's nothing I can do about it. :cry:

Today in toxicology we had to watch multiple videos where dogs were puposefully poisoned and allowed to go through the full range of terrible symptoms just before reviving them. The last one died, I think, but he turned it off before it ended. Then there was one with convulsing piglets and they're showing minutes of feed of piggy convulsions while playing this stupid happy music in the background. I know that stuff was done but we don't need to see it to understand that OP causes progressively worsening CNS signs 😡🙁
Click to expand...

Our toxicology professor actually had a class vote as to whether we wanted to see those videos (I think they're the same ones from your description) or not and then played them at the end of class and said anyone who didn't want to watch them was free to go. I watched them. I think it's important.

Oooo, I hate it when people change what the obligation is after you're already committed. That sucks.🙁
 
Man, Sooner fans are the worst. Having a good football team doesn't allow you to be an a-hole. Facebook is insufferable during football season due to all my friends from OU 😡

Sorry you're having trouble 🙁
You have a lot going on so it's completely understandable. And no one can hold it together all the time. You have to allow yourself to suck sometimes. 😀 Go take a drive around and just scream as loud as you can in your car. That helps me sometimes :whistle:
A counselor sounds like a good idea.
😍 to you.
 
Good thing for gifs as we all know Devyn doesn't like to give hugs. :laugh:

But really, if you need someone to talk to, I bet there are a ton of people here willing to help or listen, including me. 🙂
 
Rejected from the food animal incentive program. I was gonna send them an email on Monday to ask if I'd be able to update them with grades and experiences because my grades are much better and I have more food animal experience now. But.. 🙁 🙁 🙁

I'm very upset with this.

I guess I'm not really sure that the value of having your brain "traumatized" by watching the animals go through convulsions, etc so that it sticks outweighs just memorizing the material.
Click to expand...

Memorizing material doesn't work for me. And I guess it didn't really "traumatize" me. I've seen worse in real life, and it isn't like every time you watch the video another animal goes through the same experiment, it already happened and I don't see where the problem is in watching it.

My family is pretty much split down the middle OSU/OU. The only OU family member that talks trash is my big brother. He takes any pro-OSU status (or any football related status) and tries to use it as an opportunity to take shots at OSU. For example, my status yesterday was about me still being proud of the Cowboys for playing hard and that with all our injuries we have shown how deep our bench goes. We will be scary good next year. His reply was "not really." I said typical OU fan. He managed to turn a fantasy football status into talking crap on OSU. He got shut up pretty well after Bedlam last year :meanie:

Eh, I don't mean like, full out traumatized, just saddened. I think plenty of people have seen animal suffering in some form or another, but I think my problem with it was purposefully poisoning an animal when you already know what to expect to happen...it just doesn't seem necessary to me.
 
This is quickly becoming my favorite thread :meanie:


Okay, I am SICK of browsing Craigslist and seeing ads for people wanting dogs and puppies "but they can't afford to pay much." I find that so friggin irresponsible. I work at an emergency vet clinic and half the time I'll get people calling in when their dog has luxated and elbow or ingested a foreign body and they'll s**t a brick when I tell them emergency care isn't free. I once had a guy start yelling at me, saying that he was going to move to Europe where they have "socialized medicine and the government pays.

FACE.PALM.
 
Sort of a weird rant here... I hate my first name. I've never felt it suited me and I've always perferred my middle name. I don't want to legally change anything, I'd just rather go by my middle name in daily life which lots of people do. I'm kicking myself for not writting down my middle name as my perferred name when I got to vet school because that would have been the ideal time to switch it, when I was meeting lots of new people who didn't know me at all. But in the frenzy of getting to vet school, that was the last thing on my mind, and now I feel like I'm stuck with my first name once again.

I hear you.... I have been stuck with a crappy first name all of my life and whenever there was a good chance to switch to a nickname I didn't do it properly and got stuck once again.... seems I am destined to be stuck with a name I hate......I can't change it as it would break my mother's heart - I have brought it up in the past many times and I know how she feels and I am not sure it is worth doing that to her - plus I am way too old at this point to legally change my name - and no one in my family will ever call me a different name even if I were to legally change it - best thing I could ever hope for is for my friends to call me a different name..... 🙁

So I understand where you are coming from.....
 
You could always just use a name you like when ordering things 😀
My friend has a name everyone messes up so she always just says "Jessica" when she goes to Starbucks or something :meanie:

A while back I went to lunch at Which Wich one afternoon, and instead of writing our names on the order checklist my friend and I drew animals. The employee just went with it too. Sat down and waited after ordering and then... "Ham and swiss ready for...uhh...Bear?" :laugh: And no, that's not my real name either.

My roomie has a difficult name and will always use mine (super common) anytime we go out and reserve a table or something. You'd be surprised by how often they still mispell it or screw up...
 
I usually would put 'Ryan' for anything that involved calling out my name if I wasn't there with my husband, who has a very mainstream name. Panera had to ruin it with the card thing, so they just continue to massacre it every time. I just have to listen for the awkward fumble more than the actual name, or I won't realize it's me they're calling.

I'm fairly certain I discovered ringworm on one of the cows today at work. 🙁

Please do not spread to the whole herd!! We do not want ugly cows at a research station.

(Putting Povidone Iodine Ointment on it. The lesions, aroung 20 of them, are still small at 1/8"-1/4", with one being 1.5". Wrote a note to the rest of the staff telling them to change gloves during milking after treating her. We'll see if they actually listen. 🙄)

I don't know what else it could be. Looks like ringworm, but I've never seen it start on an udder before(it's on the upper half of the rear quarters, creeping to legs). Usually, I see it on head/neck first. 😕

Thankfully, I caught it now. It's a fresh(just calved) heifer, so she's only been in the milking string for 3 days.

:xf:

Am I weird in that I think I've only had my name called out for ordering something, er, once? The one and only time I've been to Starbucks. :laugh:

Would it be weird to just say to my classmates, "Yeah, call me _____" from now on.

I don't think so. Just say "Ugh would you mind calling me ____? I hate my name 😳" :shrug:

We have a few people in our class who have the most random names that don't even make sense with their real names lol.
 
My real name is actually quite common, but for some reason people still have trouble with it especially at places like Starbucks where they ask for your name... It is always interesting to see what strange name/spelling/variation I will get.

I would respect your wishes, so long as you knew that I really like your name now🙂 But it's not me, it's you, and I think people should be allowed to be called what they want to be called.
Click to expand...

Ah, I know you would. 🙂 Most of my friends would, actually, and the ones that wouldn't, probably aren't my friends and probably don't matter. I may make a stab at it for the new year. I'm sure there must be a form I can fill out so the new set of professors in January get my new perferred name.

(For the record I don't have anything against my name for other people. I've just never felt it suited me. Mom will always call me by my first name, but she doesn't care what other people call me. Besides, if I start going by something else, maybe people will stop confusing redhead and I. :laugh:)

as long as you dont take it back later, because that confuses the heck out of people! one of my classmates did that. introduced himself at the start as "___" and then weeks/months into the program decided to go by his real name, well at least i think he did? (they're pretty similar at least) he started writing the real name down on everything, and even corrected a professor when she called him the original name (because thats what our class rep knew him as and put it on his group form). so yeah, idk what he wants us to call him because he never formally said something, so its rather confusing sometimes! :shrug:

I have the opposite problem. My family and close friends call me by a shortened version of my first name, which coincidentally rhymes with my husband's last name. So I'm trying to break people of calling me the shortened version and refer to me as the full version to avoid the rhyme. Hopefully I can legally change my name to my husband's in the near future :laugh:
 
Today is zoo day, but I didn't go because I feel like poo. Why couldn't I feel gross on a non zoo day? 😡

They're both actually surnames--not even "second" first names like most normal people. But considering that the dogs we had growing up were named "Black Puppy" and "Brown Puppy" and my mother's cat was named "Meatloaf", I feel that my brother and I were pretty lucky to be named with normal first and last names.

Got an email back from the person in charge...apparently it was always going to be 10. She says she'll send an email to the list and see if we can get enough people to do every other week shifts, but she still hasn't...I'm seriously considering just dropping it, but I feel bad if I'm contributing to her project falling apart. I know how hard that is.
