              graduated high school and college without ever taking a dedicated biology or chemistry class.
never broken a bone.
never stung by a (live) bee (have stepped on a dead one, though).
can't say "never" any more, but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.
have smelled, but have never even seen marijuana, let alone smoked any.

How could you tell the bee was dead when you stepped on it and not killed by you stepping on it?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I didn't even see it. My brother, unhelpfully, said it had been there a while. We were pretty young, so I never questioned it. Maybe I should have.

You murderer.

I've never been stung by a bee either! I've had a wasp get me a few times but bees and I have a unspoken truce, I guess. We have carpender bees all around our house and my wife hates them but I enjoy watching them have those valiant mid-air dog fights. Those little bastards can scrap. They never bother or dive bomb me but sometimes they get curious and kinda hover around me, presumably doing a bee's version of a vibe check. I dont run or swat at them and they just peace out after maybe 15-20 seconds and then ignore me next time Im outside in "their" territory. ... My wife on the other hand, swats, screams and runs from them and they'll straight up go after her. She clearly does not pass the vibe check. It's wild.

How did you make it to your 40s without ever having bloodwork done?

but I was into my 40s before ever having my blood drawn.

What? You never went to hospital?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 months ago

Nope.

First blood draw was just shy of 43yo, and that was for a new life insurance policy, so it was a contract nurse in my own living room.

I have become more familiar with the hospital recently, however.
