But then there’s two 1s next to each other instead of alternating. So 1919 looks cooler than 11919

BUT if you write it how most of the rest of the world write it, it's 19/1/19 vs 9/1/19 and well, the first just looks way cooler. 😛 Plus the 9th would be kinda early, let the woman sleep for as long as she can before baby comes!

Yes but we are not in that part of the world so we would not write it that way. In the American style, the 9th def looks cooler 😛

A big shout-out for treating this yearling female's paws that were burned in the California wildfires.

1. Definitely only one in there
2. Already know the sex, probs not telling people (we like gender neutral stuff)
3. Could be alien, probably not raccoon based on ultrasound
4. Many people had to take a few seconds to verify it wasn't more animals (or to stop and count and be like damn they have a lot of pets...)
5. Thank you all for the well wishes 🙂

2. Yeah one of my friends did that so she’d get more gender neutral things that they could use for future babies.
4. Oh good I’m glad you’re probably not having a raccoon
 
One of my favorite friends who I see WAY too infrequently (and her fiance) just visited me for dinner after work since they happened to be in my town today.

As if seeing her isn't enough of a rave she and her fiance helped me unpack my ENTIRE pod which just arrived today and I assumed would take all week to unload. I am freaking DEAD TIRED and there is no way I would have brought in anything more than like my mattresses tonight but now its all in my house and I can just spend my time unpacking and organizing and I'M SO HAPPY
 
For a while I noticed that my car has been sounding a bit louder than I would like (think motorcycle) but I kept putting it off because I always dread going to the mechanic. Then one day when I was grocery shopping I just happened to look at my driver's side muffler and well... I found the culprit, big ol hole. So needless to say, I got in to a garage that fits my schedule (I work 6 day weeks every other week) and they couldn't just replace that muffler, that told me to essentially replace the whole exhaust because of rust and it was wearing in several areas...their quote...$1800... I left there almost in tears thinking... how the **** am I suppose to do that. But when I got home I took their invoice to figure out the parts and started researching online. Found all the parts that I needed for around $500 (the garage had said it would be well over $1000 for just parts) and my uncle graciously offered to take yesterday afternoon to fix it!!! Such a weight off my shoulders and wallet. For anyone who has car repairs needing to be done and want to shop around for parts, I highly recommend Amazon Garage or CarID. CarID was very easy to use and find what I needed and the prices were much more manageable!

@wildlifer ... naaaah ... you're okay. 😎

Most of the time, my patients walk on two legs ... unless they're "hydrated" vet med students who might be too hydrated to walk anywhere!

Managed to drop my phone in the toilet <24 hours before moving out of my old apartment and into a new place in a new city. I thought the damage was just cosmetic initially, but realized yesterday that it wiped out the home button, making my phone barely useable (it would still recognize my fingerprint, just no pressure). THANK GOODNESS I bought AppleCare when I got the thing. That made it a $100 replacement instead of the $400 or whatever it costs to get a brand new phone these days. Still a lot of money, especially since I'm between jobs, but omg it could have been so much worse.

AppleCare is amazing and I love it so much

Also, if you’re getting a phone without a contract it’s can be up to 1k depending on which version:bag::dead:

But good news! The newer versions are water resistant for like half an hour in a meter of water so if you upgrade your phone in the future you ideally won’t have that problem again :laugh:
 
I got to see the Haemophysalis longicornus tick today (the new invasive tick from Asia/ Australia that first popped up in New Jersey at the end of last year). Said tick was sent in from Arkansas- it’s already spread to 12 different states! Estimated to have arrived in 2010, but due to its similar appearance to Rhipicephalus sanguineus, it was just misdiagnosed.

It was really really cool! Very new, very rare! Picture in spoiler, adult male(?) tick under dissecting scope.

NOPE BYE
 
My class (3rd years) rallied with the 2nd and 4th years to raise enough money to get Hamilton tickets for 2 of our professors who work absurdly hard and are underappreciated (and really wanted to go see it, but couldn't afford to). They sent me pictures last night from before the show and the backstage tour that one of my classmates was able to set up, and I've never seen either of them look so excited and happy.

Doing good things is fun.
