That awkward moment when you spell a word correctly, but it looks so wrong so you stare at it forever questioning its existence.
What's the probability that the world will end if pork becomes slightly more expensive?
Amon Amarth's Jomsviking is out! It's actually a concept album, pretty cool.
Recently a friend paid me a compliment. I thought I had said thank you to her. The message system here on VR is not the best. Sometimes I do miss messages. I know sometimes I miss messages. But it did get me thinking. How do I handle compliments? I am never sure what to say back. Thank you? Something I need to work on.
There have been some ladies here I have paid a compliment to them only to get no reply. Or feel like they were offended. I make it clear I am not trying to come on to them. Come to think of it most ladies here I have said that too seem to have not wanted the compliment. So, now I am leery to say anything.
Ladies, its not just us males who might seem to run from a compliment.

compliment is a compliment and is always appreciated it, sadly I agree these days people tend to think everything is about flirting and etc... but lets be honest? is it really?
I consider a compliment to be only that, a compliment.
If someone wanted to flirt they have to make it clear you are interested in a personal way relationship.
Otherwise I will see it as a compliment :) and compliments are always welcome :)
I agree with you. I think some had thought I was flirting. But when I message a lady and tell her I just wanted to tell her I thought she was very pretty; I have gotten either no reply or one even told me she was taken. I just stopped sending compliments until after we become friends. I get it. It's the internet. I understand being leery.
He's home now, with a gigantic incision, and has already tried to jump once. He regretted it pretty much instantly.
There's a ton of meds to give him too. You'd think someone gutted him, fondled his internal organs, then shoved it all back in.
Found out what the mass was -- it wasn't the specific rawhide chew treat I thought it was. It was the other one, the one I thought he chewed the most thoroughly -- one of those small rawhide knots. Despite the vigorous crunching sounds, apparently he barely chewed it, it unraveled into the individual strips of rawhide, then knotted back up again in his stomach.
It would have eventually dissolved as long as it stayed in his stomach, but if parts of it had started to pass it would have obstructed things badly.
Now I just get to spend the next 10 days trying to keep bouncy the wonder beagle from jumping.

Keep him drugged. That's what i had to do to my dog after he had his toe removed. My dog had a benine tumor on his toe and it got big so we had to remove most of his toe. The foot pad is still intact but he had a bunch of stiches in him. Ask the vet for something to make him tired, that way your beagle won't move around too much.
Dog has already made me call the vet. He heard the sound of a bag being thrown away (yes, the bag containing exactly one remaining treat of the kind that was pulled from his stomach) and darted towards the living room, making a GIANT jump (wherein he belly flopped because his back legs are attached to his stomach, the one with the GIANT INCISION), and rushes out.
Does not seem to be in any pain, the stitches seem fine, but I did check with the vet on that. I rearranged furniture to keep him from getting onto the bed at all, and he's currently sulking in his kennel.
That I will. His name really is Wonder Beagle. He was a rescue dog. A family had brought him for there sons birthday and did not know he had allergies to dog hair. I had been looking for a puppy and my friend that works at the local pound calls me and told me he just go dropped off and he had papers. Not sure why they did not sale him. It was just meant to be though. His real name is like 7 names long. I just called him Wonder Beagle. He likes it.
So my dog located (with, to be honest, Sherlockian skills) a pincushion, and chewed it to shreds last night.
X-rays indicated he didn't ingest any pins (just, you know, sawdust and a lot of fabric) but the mass of fabric was..petty big (she was worreid it was thread. It wasn't. Embroidery on the pincushion fabric). The vet was pretty honest "If this was my dog...I literally don't know if I'd have it extracted or give it a day to see if it passes".
I went with "extracted", sadly not endoscopic. (Nobody could do it today).
It had already moved on towards it's eventually fate, although the vet said the dog wasn't going to enjoy that between the lump of cloth and all the sawdust. However, she DID find a five inch "rawhide spike" in there which she fished out. And kept. And plans to show me tomorrow.
I'm guessing in the "you can't feed your dog this, because this is basically a bone sword I just took out of his stomach. Our ancestors basically sewed hides together with one of these things", or possibly the "It wasn't a total waste of 1700 dollars! Look what I found!".
The dog eats pens, chapstick tubes, pincushions, but apparently swallows 2/3rds of a rawhide chew without bothering to chew?
Oh well. Beats him dying. Silly beagle.
COMMENTS
That's definitely a beagle for you! Lol
They're loud, they chew, and they're energetic. They eat everything, and get ridiculous gas. You learn how to make a dog vomit early, because you're not sure WHAT he just swallowed but it was probably not something he should have --- like a bottle of wood glue or something. However, they're smart, loving, really devoted, and easily trained -- although they're really food oriented, so you get maximum obedience whenever you've got a treat in your hands.
They'll learn any command you want super fast. But if you want them to obey when distracted (which interesting smells do), you're best off finding a good trainer and a group training session (other dogs are great distractions to practice with) and working from there.
Fucking wonderful dog, which is why I didn't blink at paying out the ass for the surgery. I love that animal.
I grew up with having beagles as pets in my house hold and I miss having one to be honest. They also make excellent hunting dogs.
Wow, yeah the Vet warned me about the stringy type toys. Luckily it had only cost me $0.99.
It was one of those small rawhide knots. Do NOT get your puppies those. I emailed the company who makes them to inform them how bad these are. My Vet is also telling all of her pet owners do not buy those.
I decided to finally catch up on my moms medical billing. Because of the fun way it works, I pay up front...and then I get bills for three months, randomly coming in. Which I then have to verify to make sure they're real bills, and not the provider deciding to try double dipping.
So I've got a stack of bills related to some stuff from the end of last year and January. I'm going through it and I get to a pair of bills (no idea why the pathologist felt she had to split her bill into two parts, but whatever) and I start looking for the online payment method.
Nothing. Okay, well, I guess some doctor's haven't gotten even into 2000s, but I'll live. So I go to fill in my moms HSA information.....and there's nothing. No way to pay with a credit card. Checks only. WTF?
So not only do these people (pathologists, who must generate shit-tons of bills for every procedure) NOT have even a crappy online pay form.....they don't even process credit cards. I'll call them tomorrow and cheerfully explain that if they won't take CC over the phone, I'll just let it go to collections because at least THOSE people can process the 30 year old "credit card" technology.
I mean, jesus. It's bad enough I have to look for a stamp. Writing a check? Screw that.
COMMENTS
Call them because all medical billing should include a ability to pay by credit card. The bill sounds a bit sketchy to me.
That's what I am thinking too.
So N. Korea says they could wipe out Manhattan with a hydrogen bomb. IDK America but... maybe it is time to take away this dude with the bad hair cut toys so he can get back to killing his Uncles again.
COMMENTS
They don't have a hydrogen bomb nor do they have the capacity to reach the US mainland with any weapon. And they've been threatening us for decades.
The problem with taking out the bad hair cut dude is that he has 500,000 soldiers and millions of rounds of artillery sitting less than an hour's drive from the South Korean capital of Seoul - population 10 million. The moment we actually attack North Korea, they could wipe out a huge chunk of Seoul within 2 days. In the end, North Korea would lose, but there would also be hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of dead bodies lying around and a trillion dollars in economic destruction.
I agree with Xzavier. Take the idiots toys away and my favorite boy band may disappear. That would irritate me.
Who is your fav boy band?
Many people are addicted to suffering and have a mental habit of pointing out the worst in people or situations. Not only are they robbing themselves of joy, but their failure to appreciate all the goodness that life has to offer actually diminishes all that good. Both our blessing and our condemnation have power. Thinking that something is bad has the power to make it so in our experience.
I am having a very very clumsy day. I just took a shower and I think I accidentally water-boarded myself. Now the inside of my face is burning.
COMMENTS
Sorry Dakotah but this one has me laughing.
Ouch :/
I a still trying to figure out how he even managed to do that to himself? Did you try to do yoga in the shower?
I tilted my head back and put a wash cloth over my face and then slipped and went back further and... water went up my nose and down my throat and....almost fell backwards.
Oh shit.. I bet that tickled. I'm sorry. Hope you feel better now though :)
Yikes! Be more careful! that could have been horrible!
