Animal Medicine. Just because you put clothes on your pet doesn’t make him your child. Please don’t spend more money than you can afford. Even if we manage to get your 14 year old dog through cancer, you still have a 14 year old dog. You should not make your pet suffer because you feel sad, Fido isn’t enjoying life let him go.Substantial-Spinach3 reply

As a teacher: set limits with devices and instill a love of reading your children. Students who read as a hobby *almost always* get good grades and succeed in school and beyond.chefsouthernbelle reply
Lean into the bite.
I work in pediatrics and we’re re taught that if a child bites you, lean into it (push whatever part of you they’re biting further into their mouth) because their automatic reaction will be to open their mouth and the risk of them breaking your skin is greatly diminished.

Went to a conference in 2023. I had been in Florida less than 3 hours when I saw a car with one of those stick figure family stickers in the back, except it was guns as the figures. It was jarring to say the least

I was shocked at the number of American flags just everywhere. I would be hard pressed to find a Canadian flag outside of schools and government buildings. There were American flags at the mall, random streets, stores, backyards, front yards, convenience stores etc

I've lived in America for 25 years, became an American citizen last year. My first time here was during Halloween, I stayed with friends, who had bought an ungodly amount of candy for the holiday. They lived in a Denver suburb, lots of kids in the neighborhood. It was like a scene out of ET, even l when they go trick or treating, sidewalks were just full of kids. That's the most American thing I've seen, apart from free refills

It sounds so dumb.. yellow school buses. I'm Australian, so we only see yellow buses in movies so to see an actual yellow school bus was a dream come true for my 20 year old self.

People being super friendly in bars. I loved the bar vibe. In London people can be friendly but reserved first, and that wastes time. In the US people make the effort. I thought that’d be nice to share in a thread where people probably tend to badmouth American stuff.
