I think it has less to do with tumblr and more to do with the fact that there is a growing segment of middle class kids coming out of high school that don't have a job and don't really know how the real world works and are stuck in an endless feedback loop where they all reassure each other's life views.

Tumblr is just the platform.

Got a little lightheaded, tried to grab another co-worker to help the customer I was with, and woke up about 2-3 minutes later with a busted lip and a bunch of very concerned folks staring down at me.

Today I discovered that Rascal does not like being on a leash one bit.
Our Siberian husky is a dream on the leash. Always stays on the trails/sidewalks, crosses streets perfectly, stops when you stop, and rarely gives a poo poo about anything else going on, like dogs and wildlife.

It took a couple years to get him this good. Walks on a short leash keeping him next to you did wonders. You'll want a harness when he's grown. On a leash it feels like he could rip out your arm!

IOC, that's what I was hoping. They said valium, milk of amnesia, and then the next thing I'll know is what the recovery room looks like. Off to surgery now.
I've had local anesthesia for biopsies, tests, scopes and other poo poo I'd guess at least 30 times now. I never remember anything and always wake up feeling pretty decent. Local is pretty decent for knocking you out enough you don't have to deal with it but not leaving you hosed up too badly afterwards. I'm usually ready to go get some food within an hour or less of waking up. General anesthesia on the other hand tends to gently caress with the body a bit more, I always felt like poo poo for several hours afterwards especially for longer operations.

So there's that once a week... and burritos down at the taqueria, or Indian buffet... goddamn I love work lunch, but if I eat out at lunch I have to be a lot more careful what I eat for dinner.
I've always brought lunch to work and think I've eaten from the on site cafeteria once (breakfast) in the last almost 6 years. Germany on the other hand I ate at the cafe for lunch every day because the food was really good and the portions were massive. Then I'd go out to dinner every night. The hotel I was at also had excellent breakfasts. I ate so much food over there, if it was anyone else they would have come back at least 20lb heavier I swear.

My ex (who put on 40lbs in the first year we lived together) lost her loving mind when I joined a gym. It got so bad that I had to quit going after two months because all she did was bitch about how she wasn't good enough anymore and other terrible poo poo.
I feel bad for laughing but my brother's wife is ballooning up at a pretty unhealthy rate because all she does is sleep, watch movies and eat lovely food. She constantly gives me poo poo about my diet (lots of meat, milk, potatoes), tracking my calories and working out. I feel really bad because it's starting to really bug my brother and wear on him, he's visibly unhappy with things but is afraid to say anything. Not a good situation, poor fool.

Looks like the cable modem is going on lock down again. Already used almost half my monthly budget and we're 1/3 of the way through. That and her sitting up until 4am watching movies (waking me up) then sleeping all day.

Local anesthesia refers to a specific body part, and specifically is a type of anesthesia that doesn't affect consciousness.

Good news! My vet paperwork said "Husky Mix" on it instead of Husky/German Shepherd/Labrador Retriever so Rascal is now good to live with us! They could tell he was a mix but I said since he has blue eyes he would have to be predominately Husky, and also I had no idea what else he could be and they bought it while cooing about how cute he is.

I have a feeling that if they were to look on the restricted list they might find Siberian Husky, but the lease is already being drawn up with approval for him :laugh:

My husky was old as hell and lazy, but she was 12 years old when we got her. She still had some pep in her step though, especially when fresh snow was down. Despite her lovely old back and age she would frolic like a puppy in it :3: Also, she was the alpha. Like, anytime we took her to a dogpark or something, she was instantly the boss of every dog. The only time I saw her challenged was a crusty old grey faced lab mix, who tried to bite her face off through a chain link fence.

She lived to 16, which is also really, really old for a husky. She was pretty small though, about 50 lbs or so. Great dog, sassy old bitch.

Haha I've always wanted a husky and my wife didn't know they had blue eyes until we got him :3: I hope the other 50% kind of chills him out, and so far he is soooo chill and loves just being held and hanging out.

I do play with him a LOT though, more so than any other puppy I've ever had :3:

That's some class-A lack of consideration or appreciation right there. I mean, you're basically letting them stay for free, right? I had to get rid of some now-ex-friends (a "married" coupe) because of poo poo like that. I give 'em a place to stay while they get back on their feet and then they bitch about me wanting them to clean up their mess and do the dishes, for gently caress's sake.

Yup they don't pay anything. They got pissed at their old roommate that they were staying with because they heard he referred to them as white trash behind their backs...he was so loving right. Dishes and the kitchen island are a constant issue as well as cleaning up after themselves in general. At this point they are very close to getting kicked out.

Sounds like my roomies. Our back porch is full of literal mountains of cardboard boxes from pizza, 12 packs of soda, etc. that they just tossed out back instead of throwing away, the sink and counters are actually covered in dirty dishes and and the stove has layers of crusted on food and grease and poo poo. Not only that, but they decided to move all their poo poo into the living room, including multiple space heaters and an electric blanket, so last month we ended up with a $200 electric bill from them essentially trying to heat the entire goddamn house the entire time with just a personal heater. And now warm weather has started so instead of heat they're constantly running the a/c. Can't wait to be out on my own again :sigh:

Mine at least split the bills with me, but still. Fucksakes, clean up after yourselves.

I'm sure it depends on the surgery, but I was miserable after becoming aware of my surroundings after nasal surgery, although how much of that was just the after affects of the anesthesia vs. getting the insides of my sinuses all sliced up is probably leaning heavily towards the latter.

Apparently (although I don't remember it) I had to be restrained as I was coming out from the anesthesia, because I was trying to attack everyone. Who knew I was a closet psycho?

I guess my post office is weird. I always get my Prime stuff either the next day (instead of 2-day) or on the day it's expected. I suppose it helps that I live within 20 miles of 3 gigantic Amazon distribution centers.

Both Fed-Ex and UPS have also gotten my Amazon Prime stuff here on the day it's supposed to be here (sometime's it's been 8pm or so, but hey, they don't promise a time!).
