I'm guessing it's supposed to be "I am, baby" (in response to 'are you coming home') but written in a panicked haste.

Anyone thinking she'd have the time or calm to properly spell check before sending when her kid's in danger is delusional.

Horses only eat grass because it's convenient, they regularly eat baby chicks, injured birds, lizards and eggs they find lying around. (The video of the horse casually hoovering up a line of chicks as the mama hen walked them across the paddock haunts me still...)

I'm pretty sure there's a maximum of 2 crows on that image. Maybe less.

Polar bears aren't native there, and you have no idea what the natural area is like. It's an island built on fishing, all the towns are on the coast, where the bears would like to hunt. Polar bears don't live there, because it's not an environment that can sustain them, and the biggest native wild animal is the arctic fox. Rest is all farm animals with some reindeer introduced to the highlands in the 70's for game/sport hunting.

You're arguing from pure ignorance.

So you want a non-native animal with no suitable habitat and no food source other than humans to be given special preferential treatment over the humans that happen to live there, allowing it to roam and maul at it's leisure while people politely try to shoo it away from the child buffet?

You have zero context and zero knowledge of the situation, the country or that environment but sit there on your high horse pretending to be morally superior to the people in actual mortal danger.

I guess you never heard of the potato famine then, which was a type of genocide visited upon the Irish by the British. Hence the 'sudden'jump from potatoes to bombing hospitals.

That's the source of potato jokes people crack about the Irish.

Yep, the main reason I started using adblockers in the first place is because I was tired of the weekly disinfection routine of my pc.

Hiding ads wasn't my main motivation to start with, I just wanted to keep my system safe and shit free.

One of our cats loved salady stuff, cucumbers, sweetcorn and bell peppers especially. He was never possessive over food, not even tuna, except for red bell peppers, - the only time we heard him growl at his brother was whenever we gave him a few pieces.

A stripper is not automatically a sex worker.

The Blob, the 80's version. I was around 5, snuck into a room where people were watching it. The guy being dragged into the sink made me terrified of using the toilet and I developed a turbo-pissing technique to minimise time spent on the bog.

Then treat yourself by having a few mugs for yourself. Also means you can leave one to soak in the sink and still have your tea. Makes cleaning them a lot easier as well. ASDA also sells iridescent glass mugs that are very pretty.

Kind of hard when it's a once-per-year event. Desensitisation is an effective training strategy, but takes time and effort. You might have some success with loud fireworks recordings, but nothing can really replicate the pure noise, light, reverberation and smell of the real deal.

Medicating pets for a day or two is not the end of the world and helps them not having to experience the utter helpless panic.

I have a real beef with the anti-medication crowd, they completely ignore how life altering it can be for those that need them, just because they don't suffer themselves so don't see the need for anyone to have them.

It's it better not to need them? Of course. Should you try alternatives first? Absolutely. Is it a failure if it turns out the medication is the only thing that actually helps? Abso-fucking-lutely not.
