I see them all the time, but usually in October. Never saw one this early before.

I buy saline nasal spray (the two brand names that spring to mind are Ocean and Ayr) and put it in repurposed antihistamine spray bottles - the kind that produce a really fine spray. I don't use antihistamines because they can have a nasty rebound effect that can make them addictive, but that really fine saline spray is an extremely good way to get some humidity when my nose is feeling irritated because of the dry climate in Colorado.
Yes, it would.
Sounds normal to me.
I didn't make it into the vet tech program. . .Not sure where to go from here. *deep sigh*
Was this an online vet tech program? If it wasn't, try an online one. The AVMA lists these: https://www.avma.org/ProfessionalDe...Programs/Pages/vettech_distance_learning.aspx
Those both sound like good ideas.If that's the way you want to go, maybe I can help you work on your math skills in the meantime. It sounds to me like you were tripped up by some "word questions," the bane of every math student, but actually fairly easy to deal with once you learn a few tricks.

I got a text from my sister-in-law a few days ago, with this link: Solar storm heading to Earth may bring Northern Lights far south. Here's how to see the auroras.. I've only been wanting to see the aurora since forever; looks like I'll be driving out northeast of Denver either Saturday or Sunday night (or both), in the direction of Kansas, looking for clear skies in the north with no light pollution. Keep your fingers crossed for me...

I don't wish to be a killjoy, but I think that was this last weekend
.I looked for it. . .nothing visible. It was cloudy one night. I might not have been out late enough though (around midnight). I think the best time is 2 am. I've seen the aurora a few times but it was very limited, looked like a green shape-shifting cloud
. While that was nice, I'd like to see a really impressive display, with different colors and all.
It's my puppy's birthday today! He's had an incredible day playing with his friends at work, chewing on a raw bone, and snuggling with me on the couch.
Hmm.I don't wish to be a killjoy, but I think that was this last weekend
You could be right; I'll have to check on that. Unfortunately, it wasn't until this week that she sent me the link.There have been news reports that the aurora might be visible this far south in the past, and I've attempted to see it, but it's never worked. One of these years I'm just going to have to visit Alaska in the winter.

I don't think a telescope is very useful for viewing the aurora. You use that for distant things that need to be enlarged, but the northern (or southern) lights are more like great sheets of color in the sky - I think a telescope would ruin the effect. My extremely good binoculars, however, are so good that I actually saw Halley's Comet the last time it came around, which was a major accomplishment.I would love to see that. It would be amazing to have a telescope. On a clear night I can see so many stars just standing on my deck. The moon last week was incredible.

Wowza, wasn't that the late 70s? I bet it was an amazing sight.

I've only seen the aurora once. My parents took us to the drive-in for our annual movie- it was 'The Absent-minded Professor'- and they were clearly visible. When the Hale-Bopp comet came past back in the 90s, I was able to get pictures of it, but clouds obscured Halley's, so I missed that one.
OH MY GOD. . . Is this the same dog? I remember someone posting about a new puppy looking just like this one a while back. Is this the same dog?? GOT TO BIG! MY MY!It's my puppy's birthday today! He's had an incredible day playing with his friends at work, chewing on a raw bone, and snuggling with me on the couch.

Actually, that took place practically in my back yard. They all wore white cowboy hats and white sneakers, and they thought the 'space ship' would land on the shore of Lake Ontario. They didn't kill themselves, though, just disbanded and went back to , I believe, Korea.
This is the cult I was referring to.

Must have been different cults, then, because in a small town like mine, that would have been front-page news for a week.
Yes, this was big news, so sad.

Do you mean Heavens Gate? They thought an alien spacecraft was riding the waves of Hale-Bopp and the only way to get on the ship was 'out of body'.
Yes, I do Mean Heavens Gate.

I had Care Credit when Panthera needed surgery. It's a credit card for medical emergencies. For 12 or so months there is no interest charge but once you go over that , even if you have barely any balance left, they hit you with the interest of the whole loan so it behooves you to pay it all off before the time limit expires. It can be a life saver.
