john on a date: how do you feel about girlfriends?
sherlock: not really my area
john, shoving breadsticks into his mouth: oh…OH. right. fine. okay. GOOD.
How do kissing, hurting, eating, drinking and snoring sound in different languages? What do cats and dogs say in different languages?

When I was 17 my appendix ruptured because I thought I was just having period cramps and didn’t go to the hospital so don’t tell me PMS symptoms are no big deal
this actually happened to me during my math final and i didn’t think anything of it and when i was later admitted to the hospital my math prof was asking me ‘you didn’t have to take the final! why didn’t you tell me it hurt?!?!’ and i told him i’ve had cramps worse.
he gave me 100
This is actually an extremely common occurrence simply because in sex ed they don’t teach you how to tell the difference between menstrual cramps and other more serious pains. The way to tell the difference between cramps and appendicitis is that while menstrual cramps are generalized toward the middle of the stomach below the belly button, pain from a swollen or burst appendix will start in the middle of the stomach and relocate to only the lower right side, even lower than menstrual cramps, and is a very localized pain. It also comes on extremely suddenly and will worsen over time or when you make a sudden movement, like a cough or a sneeze.
Basically, if you’re feeling any sort of pain, even if it’s menstrual cramps, don’t hesitate to tell the school nurse or a parent, or if you’re out of school and home even make a doctor’s appointment. Chances are if your cramps are that bad there’s something they can do to improve that as well.
I am boosting the shit out of that reply, because I am twenty-fucking-five years old and did not know how to tell the two pains apart
So one of my co-counselors at a middle/elementary school camp I’m working for has a SUPER cool necklace that incites a conversation with nearly every person he meets.
“Is that real?!”
“How do you water it?”
“Where’d you get it?”
And I figured this company could use the advertisement boost it deserves among Tumblr bloggers who seem to adore small plants.
CHECK OUT THESE COOL LITTLE DUDES:
They would make a super awesome gift!!
They’re surprisingly inexpensive; only $4.99 each!!
You only need to water them around once a month!!
And watering them is super easy; you just submerge them in a shallow layer of water for a minute or two!! You don’t even have to remove the capsule!!
Just look at how adorable they are!!
These are the actual size measurements of the capsules:
Height – 1.5 in (4 cm)
Width – 0.23 in (17 mm)
So you can carry one with you wherever you go!!
They can live within the capsules from 3-18 months depending on the plant and care provided.
Once they grow big enough to leave the capsule, you can move them into these really cute pots sold by the same company (you can find pictures in the link below).
There’s actually no reason why you shouldn’t buy like 5 dozen of these babies.
You can attach them to your bag, or to your phone as a charm
or you could make a necklace out of them like my co-counselor did!
DON’T RESIST THEIR ADORABLENESS AND YOUR TEMPTATION TO PURCHASE ONE (OR TWO OR THREE)!
^I think I might get this one for myself!
TLDR; THEY’RE SUPER INEXPENSIVE, EASY TO CARE FOR, AND THEY MAKE A FABULOUS GIFT FOR ANY OCCASION!
