Sorry for lack of context, my previous ask was following the anon question about IVF sperm selection

‘Fastest’ isn’t necessarily an indicator. Lots of sperm will be fast enough to reach the egg, they then need to bind and burrow and otherwise get in.

And that’s not necessarily related to the genes they carry either, but their shape and the health of the male at the time. Environmental factors as simple as heat (or fever) and alcohol can affect the sperm.

the thing about alcove beds is that you Will have to get physically on top of the mattress to put a fitted sheet on it, and the larger the bed the more of a pain in the ass this is, and if you want to change your sheets regularly you have to be prepared for that wrestling match every time

Aren’t they?! I’ve watched a few working and ohmygosh so sweet! I think my fave spaniels are these lot though:

Ooooh so interesting! Not too fluffy A+ a spaniel breed considered quiet?! wow!

oh so brown i sure love a brown dog with moderate feathering and slightly long! Look at that NOSE

when you want it patterned like a cow  A+

I just. Can’t imagine why. Any Aussie should be proud to own Meat Pie the cat.

wow and I thought basil black opal was goth but that pepper really goes hard

I’ve had a bad experience too but my current dentist is lovely and my insurance at least pays half, or like three quarters for checkups

My current insurance is 80/20--they pay 80%, I pay 20%. 

I saw this dentist a few times when I didn’t have insurance and loved her. At one visit, I presented with a three-year-old root canal that still had the sedative filling. The sponge they’d placed inside the tooth was, naturally, starting to decompose, and there was a mess of bacteria and decay in there. She told me that they would probably have to extract the tooth and do an implant, as there was no way there would be enough structure left to put a crown on after she cleaned this tooth out. 

I started crying in her chair, because there was no way I could afford an implant. I couldn’t even afford a crown--that was why I hadn’t done anything with the root canals I had. I’d been able to take one up to the gutta-percha filling, but it still wasn’t crowned.

And this woman, bless her, calmed me down and said “Okay, here’s what we’ll do. I’ll go in there and clean out the decay, and then just pack it with composite. I’ll take it out of occlusion to minimize the stress placed on the tooth by chewing. Hopefully, that will last you until you can get it properly treated.”

considering that rabies is very fatal and death is very permanent it’s totally reasonable to treat it with utmost caution if there’s any chance at all of rabies no matter how slim
