When cats sense they’re not long for this world they’ll leave to go die somewhere outside…..alone. I wish mine would’ve just stayed at home.

My brother had an outdoor cat when I was living with him for a while. (I am not generally what you'd call a 'cat person', but that cat was awesome.) And when it was his time, he laid down on the sidewalk by the back door (a very high-traffic area which many of us walked on daily, and near where we put his cat food and water), and made that his final resting place, laying on his side... at home.

My mom lives far from me and we only get to see each other once a year. She’s 65. Even if I’m lucky and she lives until 80 or so, I’m going to physically see her around 15 more times. The idea of it being so limited makes my stomach hurt.

Any time you see someone you love, it may be the last time. Any time you do anything -- go to the beach, watch a movie, make love -- it may be the last time. Nothing is promised. The only thing we can do is to try not to leave anything unsaid with your loved ones, and to try to remember to enjoy your life as if it may all come to an end tomorrow -- because it very well might.

Every single female at birth on my father’s side got first pregnant at 14, had a miscarriage, then had their first child at 16, at least up until my older sister, she is 16 and so far has never gotten pregnant. Lets hope it stays that way until she is ready because most of my dads family dropped put of high school to take care of the child.
also, the day of my older sister’s 16th birthday, our father called her, BEGGING her to give him grand babies asap… i hate my fathers side of the family. this is why i don’t consider him as my father.

Rabies. Just everything about rabies.

To go into more detail: If you have been bitten by an animal, and you are unable to determine if that animal is rabid (as in the case of a wild animal that you were unable to catch), you need to get rabies shots. Rabies, from what I understand, is completely curable if you catch it early (meaning, you get those shots as quickly as you can after having been bitten). But it is 100% fatal once you have started showing symptoms. At that point, no medicine in the world can save you.

There's something like 2% of American prairie left and it's still shrinking. A couple weeks ago Rockford airport was just given permission to expand over Illinois' best and nearly last prairie.
Native prairie species sequester carbon FAR MORE EFFICIENTLY THAN TREES and support more biodiversity. Not to mention their ability to stop erosion.
Not only are we destroying prairie for human expansion, but we also went too far with planting trees and fire suppression, so areas that should be prairie and savanah are just planted with trees because we just assume that the more trees the better.
Don't even get me started about people's "wildflower gardens" that help very few insects and animals as compared to actual native plants.
Check out [The Native Habitat Project](https://www.nativehabitatproject.com/) for more information.
Edit: Rockford Airport, not O'Hare

We are possibly on the brink of medical technology and treatments losing a hundred years of progress because new strains of bacteria are becoming anti biotic resistant and finding new antibiotics is a slow process far out passed by the amount of resistant bacteria. Imagine getting a minor cut on your hand and dying from it.
Added benefit, our own immune systems have also taken a hit as well because our over use of antibiotics has killed alot of the good bacteria in our bodies that works with our immune system.

A guy I used to work with had either a condition or got a virus (I don't remember which, this was about 20 years ago) that attacked his spine; he went to bed fine and woke up the next day totally paralyzed from the waist down. He spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. There was no slow progression, just walking fine one day and completely unable to walk the next.
Edit: I just looked up his obituary (he passed in 2011) he apparently had Transverse Myelitis that led him to become paralyzed
