I had a cat that was maybe 6 or 7 years old when she suddenly started having seizures. After a seizure, she’d be wobbly for a few days, then eventually back to normal… until it happened again. Vet couldn’t figure out what was going on. We decided to try to track when she had the seizures—was it when she ate something out of the ordinary, got exposed to something unusual, on a recurring schedule? That sort of thing. We quickly found out that within a day or two of giving her a dose of Frontline flea treatment (the kind you drip on the back of their neck) she’d have a seizure. We stopped giving her Frontline and she never had another seizure.
We have one. The cat likes it, and we love it. Super-easy to empty.
American here, but I agree with a traditionally Polish or German gift. I’ve always thought Polish pottery is lovely.
My first instinct would be Southwest, like Texas.
Here’s an article with maps that show the Census regions that @Jackcooper@lemmy.world mentioned puts OK in the South: https://www.businessinsider.com/united-states-regions-new-england-midwest-south-2018-4?op=1
And here’s a map from National Geographic that puts OK in the Southwest: https://education.nationalgeographic.org/resource/united-states-regions/
A kidney donated from a living donor often lasts longer and performs better than a kidney from a deceased donor. Donating a kidney to a stranger can begin a paired donation chain that can result in several people getting kidneys. If you are seriously thinking about donating, I strongly encourage you to do some research with reputable sources, talk to some people who’ve donated themselves, talk it over with your loved ones, and maybe talk to some transplant coordinators at the nearest transplant center. It’s not something to be undertaken lightly, but living donors are saints.
A feed full of cats.
American here, and I’ve never heard anyone seriously answer the phone this way. I did have a co-worker who would answer “Go for Mike” as a joke when he knew the caller. I had the impression it was from silly comedy or sit-com or meme that went around for a while.
I just wanted to add this link to xkcd’s survey results about color names because it’s fun and possibly relevant.
It’s absolutely pop in Chicagoland area, where I grew up. I knew I was “downstate” when I started hearing soda, which to me used to be a float (pop with ice cream in it).
I think White Castle, the original slider, mighty whitey one bite, also deserves a shout out, even though they’re kind of awful IMO.
What?! Nobody’s mentioned Steak ‘n Shake? They were my favorite before Culvers migrated south.
Greebles. They’re often on the ceiling at our house.
