    I saw an article that said people are abandoning pets because of COVID-19.  

    Cats and humans have different "colds".  We do not eat cats in America.  Virus and bacteria is in meat and then humans can be infected.  

    This isn't really spreading to cats, is it?  Ohmygaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!  *cries* Abandonment.  ohmygoooooooooood!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I saw an article out of China within the last couple of weeks....Dogs are no longer considered a 'renewable food source' and have been reclassed as pets.....cats however were not so lucky....

    My vent is kind a self-centered but also I’m trying to be altruistic.

    I had my gallbladder removed on March 13 under emergency surgery. Since then my pre-existing epigastric hernia has at least doubled  in size and I’m in constant pain from it now.  I noticed last night in the mirror that I have a very visible shadow from the bulge that wasn’t there a month ago.  

     I am avoiding all solid food and only drinking and shakes and powdered soup because anything solid makes the discomfort way worse.

    I am unsure of what to do.
    I don’t want to go to the emergency room and potentially expose myself and via that route also my family to the virus.  We also care for 3 houses around us of elderly folks who can’t drive.  I really don’t want to expose them.

    & also I don’t want to take up a hospital bed from someone who needs it because they’re actually dying.

    but I’m also unsure as to whether I’m in a serious Situation, because I have a high tolerance for pain- So I’m never really sure exactly how bad things are for me.  Previously I had to have emergency surgery for sepsis and to remove all of my internal lady bits. I’ve had to have surgery on my shoulder to piece it back together after falling in the shower.  On both of those occasions I had no idea how bad things were.

    so that’s my complaint.



     

    As a person who has had much trouble with the gastric system...do NOT PUT THIS OOF! It is life threatening to ignore this and really...going to the hospital is probably the safest place you can go with the screening they do now. Don't let a condition that can be fixed now degenerate into something that can kill you..believe me I have nearly died twice from gastric issues and it is not fun at all..pain you cannot imagine.

    I recently learned that SL's aviation community has a lot more high detail aircraft than I thought they did. Same with cars and boats. Makes me wish my Stipend could get here faster so I could buy a few. 😀

    There are many highly detailed aircraft available very cheap or even free. Flying has been one of my passions from very early on in sl, with many amazing creators out there. Check the MP, I have gotten several free aircraft from there. And there are many 'airports' where you can rez and fly adjacent to huge areas of LL ocean, especially around Blake Sea

    I'm curious; why didn't you add your comment to one of the many already raised on this subject?

    Just as an aside, in Dark Mode I can't see your comment at all, so at first I thought you were so bored with it you couldn't think of anything to say.

    Maybe he wanted to use all the pretty tags

  5. I think that, given these trying times, it's nice to sit back and just take in the grandeur around us. In that spirit NASA created a little app called "What Did Hubble See On Your Birthday?" Enjoy!

    On Feb 26th Hubble saw a Bubble (Wait..Isn't that a chewing gum.....)

    Bubble Nebula

    An enormous bubble is being blown into space by a super-hot, massive star. The Bubble Nebula is roughly seven light-years across and is located 7,100 light-years away in the constellation Cassiopeia.

    Yeah, there are many examples of people "reclaiming" slurs. I'm not 100% convinced by the theory behind it, but it's very common. I didn't know Trump supporters were doing it with "covfefe". I don't think it really works, since it's not an insult someone threw at them to be taken as a mark of honour, it's just a stupid typo made and broadcast by the man himself. Still, if Trump voters are using it, then that means it's appealing to both them and their opponents, and that makes it a very clever move from the Lab.

    For whatever it's worth, although I don't say it, I've never heard a Brit use the word "Yank" in a genuinely derogatory fashion. I think it's a bit dated now anyway.

    Oh I know, just throwing out an example, I love our British Friends =)

    I didn't know that. That makes it an even cleverer choice by the Lab than I realised.

    If you look at history "Yankee Doodle" was a slur directed by the British at their American subjects before the Revolution and the colonists took it as a badge of honor so it makes sense that the same would happen nowadays

    I'm cynical about the whole Last Names deal, pull back the curtain & I think it's a marketeering manipulation to literally 'name & shame' & make more revenue by creating tribalism & an elite class in Second Life off the back of folks I think requesting it back to add a badge of specialness; of course if you see an avatar with a 'Last Name' you know they're 'premium members' & in a 'tribe', in an elite class & beloooong, & it's worth paying extra bucks to 'belooong' surely? Don't you want to 'belooong'? I'll just use the friends list.

    Funny...I have a last name, been in SL almost 13 years and never belonged to a 'Tribe'. I feel left out and demand my name be changed to Resident...oh wait...I can do that....
