  • This happened twice to me and my Dad. The last thing we usually do when talking the boat out of the water is remove the drain plug. It is kept in the boat’s glove compartment, when not in the water. Both times we noticed pretty quickly and were able to get it back on the trailer and pull it up to drain.

  • I have this problem. One cat is food obsessed, the other is a picky eater and very active. Trying to coordinate their food is hard because the picky eater is a grazer he doesn’t like to eat his food in large amounts. And there’s the picky eating part, coaxing and treats then the other one is jealous. It can be exhausting!

  • This, I brought up this behavior in an earlier comment. The sexiest jokes tropes are too culturally ingrained even though they’re not based in reality. (Who has to pay more for insurance until they over 25? But yet “women are bad drivers”🙄)

  • It’s the same in the US. My brother likes to use the opportunity excuse, trying to claim that men drive more than women. But I swear it’s like all their heads are stuck 80 years in the past. Most of the arguments are “men have to go to work, so they drive more”.

  • What I have started doing is comparing, every time someone I know disparages a woman driver or someone in the workplace. I bring up all the men we know who have done the same thing or worse. I am hoping that by constantly putting the spotlight on how women are treated and talked about differently something will eventually click. It seems that women have been the automatic punchline for too many jokes for too long.

    Edit: It’s frustrating because each time we know many more men who are terrible drivers, act very illogically/emotionally. But point this out and it’s always excuses “oh, well (the man) drives more that’s why he’s had more accidents, there are more opportunities” never mind the fact that he has a history of being reckless/not-paying attention and is usually the one at fault. But when a woman driver is rear ended, it’s always “oh, hehe women drivers”.

  • Yeah, he’s dead. They aren’t getting dues from him anymore got to get theirs somehow!

    I am pro union, but I hate gatekeeping behavior that sometimes crops up around them. Not exactly this incident, but I have seen electrical unions engage in some pretty petty behavior in an attempt to push a non-union shop out.

  • Every time my siblings or I had anything anyone considered a concussion. They couldn’t walk in a straight line, were throwing up when standing up. My sister got a concussion from a bad go-cart crash (it went through the barrier and fake wall). She was shaky on her feet for 3days, and had bad bruising all over her face. My brother fell head first over a raised porch railing into rocks, about 5ft. They had to glue the skin back together on his forehead because they couldn’t sew it the edges wouldn’t meet. Ever since he’s plagued by migraines especially when his sinuses are full. I was doing backflips on a trampoline, landed in the “cannon ball” position on the back of my neck/head. This slammed my right knee into my eye socket, giving me a spectacular black eye. But nearly immediately I got intense vertigo, nausea. If I closed my eyes it felt like I was falling, but I felt so tired. This lasted the rest of the day and I had be injured before noon.

    Sure my mom might dramatically call a toddlers spill a concussion. But I my experience she only remembers that for like a week maybe. What she remembers and tells doctors and others about years later are the bleeding throwing up kind. Not saying I can tell she had serious concussions, just it would be really weird to report a little head bump and bruise for this kind of thing.
