“Going forward, we no longer will recognize that an oral discovery of infidelity satisfies the objective element of something that would provoke a reasonable person to kill his or her spouse.”

Oddly specific—does this ruling not apply if it’s in writing? What about if it’s a partner’s suspicion but it isn’t admitted to?

EMS has zero veterinary training, at best we can apply pressure to stop bleeding. No measuring vitals, no CPR, no AED, no medications, no splinting broken limbs—because that’s all different from the medical care we give humans.

You should hear the horror stories from vets whose patient’s pet-parents are human medical professionals who thought they could handle their pets’ emergency medical needs.

What a disgusting waste of resources. No amount of cop worship can turn a dog into a human. If you care so much, get an emergency veterinary transport unit. FTP

Moved to NW MA. I really miss my friends, and having so many great restaurants with such diversity of cuisines, and there are a lot more jobs available back there. Also there are way fewer people who think the election was stolen, or who flaunt campaign signs for aspiring politicians who want to ban LGBT people from all public life. Well, except when they hold an event they choose Boston, and then they come crawling out of the woodwork.

But there are a lot of upsides, too. I left just before the turning point wherein the MBTA went from bad to un-fucking-acceptable. There’s no traffic here unless there’s a big accident. Parking is cheap and no big deal. Rent is cheapER. There’s lots of cool antique ephemera shops that could never stay afloat in Boston.
