Oh fb. Terrible. You're a tough chick for doing it. Nobody else could have. That's gross, but really sad, too.
When we've had our doggies put down (2 in my life), we bring them back to our house and bury them. But I guess if you live in the city you can't do that.
It's not legal here. But a lot of vets practice "don't ask, don't tell." They're supposed to dispose of the body by law at a certain place in a certain way, but you have to pay a lot for the "service."

Ah. I understand why, but it meant so much to be able to bury our doggies at home. We still have markers at both their graves, and we plant flowers on top every year. I'd hate to not have that.
yeah, it meant a lot to me as a kid to have a grave for my deceased kitty. i can see why it's not supposed to be done though. especially because most people probably don't bury deep enough, or if they try to, could hit groundwater.
my parents have lived at the same house for over 30 years, and they have the ashes of both my childhood dogs buried in their garden with a special tree planted on top of each of them.
to get back on topic, I've also seen/been a part of some pretty horrible vet-related situations involving scattered bone fragments/brain matter...
My MIL admitted that she chews the same piece of gum for 5 days in a row. It makes me throw up a little bit in my mouth just typing the words.
She has definite cleanliness issues (as in the lack thereof). We once blitz cleaned out her apartment, because she's a hoarder and lets things just literally pile up. We found food that had been left in a bag in her front room from several months before (we could tell by the expiration date). It was one of the things that led me to go vegan, because you DO NOT want to smell non-vegan that has been sitting around for 7 months. The dusty mushrooms didn't bother me, but the non-vegan stuff haunts my nightmares...
Anytime I see an ad for hamburgers, steaks or any other meat on TV, I find it totally disgusting. What's sad is that I used to crave this meat crap. Why can't they put commercials on TV featuring mouth-watering plums or peaches? Haha

i don't get the ads with plain ole burgers. Maybe the ones with lots of sauce or onion rings or whatever, but plain bread + burnt meat patty + lettuce + tomato = not that appetizing. I guess they're relying on people to have an association with the picture and the pleasure of eating that crap.
But then again, those ads always have green leaf lettuce, and fast food always comes with iceberg. do they think no one notices that it's a different vegetable?
I was just sayin' that any meat on any commercial grosses me out. I've coming up on my 1 year anniversary of being a vegetarian and I don't know why I didn't start sooner...
My roomates who are currently on vacation to Cuba, left their pork unthawed in the fridge, it's been there for about a week and since I haven't been opening the fridge this week since I was barely home, I've had the great smelly surprise when I opened the fridge this morning. I am still gagging.
Okay, first off I would like everyone to know that my father is a meat loving hillbilly.
Now...I went to our freezer in our basebent to grab out some frozen veggies for dinner one night. So I reach in and grabbed a plastic bag out of the way to get to my veggies and to my HORROR what I grabbed onto was one of the poor, innocent SQUIRELLS that he killed this year! Ahhhggg!! I freaked out, it was awful *shudders* poor squirell..
I peed my pants during my half marathon today. I knew I needed to pee, then the feeling went away the last few miles, and I thought it was just because I was excited about finishing. It was cold and I was running pretty fast, and when I looked down after I crossed the finish line I had peed myself. I laughed more than anything else. It happens. But still kind of gross. I was riding with someone else, and I had to change clothes to ride in the car! Oops!
that happens all the time for people who run marathons?
i am no longer jealous of marathon runners.

Not just marathons or half marathons. I remember people peeing themselves in races as short as 1 mile. For some people, if it's cold, you just lose feeling down there, especially when all you can feel is pain in your legs. Peeing yourself is only the beginning (especially if you have IBS or experience "Runners' Trots")...
oh god. i'm going to stay on the treadmill, then.
I'm thinking that peeing myself would be the number 1 reason not to run a marathon, apart from having no cartilage in one knee. I did nearly die walking a 5K, because I had to pee!
I cut open a peach for my supper last night, only to find the pit was hollow and separated n the cutting...and inside was this HUGE earwig, alive and kicking! Or rather squirming. He hadn't nibbled the fruit, he had only devoured the inner pit (the soft part) but needless to say I was so grossed out I didn't eat the peach.
Apparently he got inside via the stem-hole.
Now, I was told in school that the inner pits of peaches and apricots contain arsenic; enough that if you ate 3-4 you could go into convulsions (as one of my teachers' nephews did). Didn't seem to effect the earwig, though.
it's not arsenic, it's cyanide. All members of that family (peaches, plums, apricots, cherries, almonds) have some, and it depends which part of the plant. Sucks =( But they're still tasty.

I knew it was one or the other.
Are cyanide and prussic acid the same thing? they both smell of almonds.

This reminds me of that marathon runner who shat himself.
