Sure Do Love Going To The ER So Often. Was Here Less Than Three Months Ago. Guess I Probably Wont Be

Sure do love going to the ER so often. Was here less than three months ago. Guess I probably won’t be going to work tomorrow… or later today, I guess.

All of my friends that work at wildlife rehab centers have had to untangle animals from this stuff, or had animals brought in that died in it. This is especially nasty for small owl species.

When all you have is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. When all you have is a portal gun, every problem looks like a puzzle.

Yes, I’m still obsessed with Portal. This cake is great, by the way

Umm. Why are there taxidermy bats on Amazon?! Bats are a protected group of animals, meaning that the only place you should be able to find taxidermy of them is museums. The fact that they’re on Amazon means that Amazon is selling illegally obtained animals, likely poached. Sellers will claim that they “found” a bat and decided to turn it into a taxidermy piece. That’s bullshit.

I’m not surprised that Amazon is selling illegal items, it’s just awful that they’re selling taxidermy of animals that are legally protected.

Do NOT buy these items. If you want a bat, please just buy a plushie. It’s legal and doesn’t encourage poaching.

Slight correction: Not every bat species has legal protections, but Amazon didn’t specify what species was being sold.

My knees hate me. Actually, my whole body hates me, but my knees seem to be extra hateful today

Well, back home after another visit to the Emergency Room. As expected, the bloodwork came back saying that I’m actually perfectly fine. After sitting around for like three hours and occasionally being told to “calm down” and “try to stay positive” by a nurse, I’m still in just as much pain. The only thing that’s changed is that I’m also pissed off, which is why I’m not screaming and crying anymore.

I’m beginning to wonder why I even waste my time talking to doctors when they all seem to have the same capacity for rational thought, listening skills, and common sense as a carrot.

Actually, I take that back. That was a mean and unnecessary thing to say. Carrots are at least useful and have never gone out of their way to make me miserable or invalidated. Carrots are wonderful, actually. Probably smarter than most, if not all of the doctors I’ve met, not to mention better for my health.
