    What are the ostriches for? Are they on a farm and sold as meat? If it’s a health issue sure let the ostriches live but ban the meat from being sold. Separate them from those that will be sold for meat.

    Otherwise what would happen if a zoo had some rare bird catch avian flu? Would they be forced to kill all of the other rare birds in the zoo?




  • I had to go out and buy flashing headlamps and an LED dog harness because of all the times I’ve almost been hit by people taking a left turn and not looking before they do.

    You would think a 6’ tall person in a bright orange jacket and a 130lb pure white dog would in an orange vest would be pretty easy to spot but apparently not.

    Even with the lights i still had three people turn left into the interior lane while me and my dog were standing in the exterior lane trying to cross and waving my hands at them like wtf?

    When the walk signal comes on there needs to be a red no-left turn light turn on somewhere because no one pays attention to pedestrians, just the lights.









  • I had lower back pain for a while about 12 years ago when I was youngish.

    Ignored it for like a week because I thought I just slept weird.

    Then one day I asked someone to take me to the walk-in since it was getting worse.

    It was a Sunday so they were all closed, but by that time I was starting to shake. Asked to go to the ER.

    Once in the ER I’m sweating, shivering and shaking. Doctor takes one look at me and bumps me to the front of the line. Takes me in and immediately says I look like I’m going through septic shock. Puts me on IV antibiotics and morphine for the pain which was incredible at that point.

    Apparently I had a UTI which led to a bladder infection and eventually worked its way up to my kidneys and then poisoned my blood. Another week of 1hr per day IV antibiotics pumping through me and I was okay.

    If it weren’t Sunday I possibly could have died.

    So yeah, probably go see a doctor.
