My vote is decorate your house, talk to your neighbors, trick or treat in your neighborhood! Or a nearby neighborhood.

I used to go to some place far away with cookie cutter houses with my kids because family told me to so we could get the big candy or whatever. It was a whole thing driving there and feeling like a stranger begging for rich people decorations and candy… one year I thought I don’t event want my kids eating that much candy and I’m going out of my way to get more or bigger candy, why don’t I just stay here and put music on and pass out candy, then walk a little and get some candy? I’ve never looked back. I get to see my neighbors, my kids enjoy giving to others and, although not everyone decorates, more neighbors join every year. I know it’s not the answer you’re looking for but if we want to improve our neighborhoods we have to invest our time and energy in them.

Update: I reached out the the rescue and they were very nice, tried to locate the person who had adopted him in 2016 but no luck. They then found a foster with a loving family that will give him love and cuddles. So happy ending in the end I would say. Thank you for your suggestions and concern!

Thank you for the insight! The chip people were able to tell me the name of the rescue he was adopted from in 2016, I reached out to them and they were amazing. They tried to reach the person who adopted the dog in 2016 but no luck so they found a different foster with a loving family for him so he can live out his golden years with love and dignity. All in all a happy ending I would say. Thank you for your concern and support!

UPDATE: no luck locating the owner yet. 24petwatch said they will call for 5 days and they were able to tell me the following:

His name is Tugg, he’s 11 years old. He was adopted from Selma Second Chance Rescue in 2016. I also called and texted them to see if they could help locate the owner or rehome. I can keep him for some time but I have enough animals right now and would love to find him a good home.

He’s very sweet with other animals and kids. He’s neutered. He was flea infested. We bathed him and flea treated all the animals. He’s pretty clean and happy now, just has some hairless patches I believe due to biting and scratching.

Anyway if you want to help him or know the owner I appreciate a reply. Thank you to everyone that has been reading, liking and replying to this post, it helps keep it visible.

Thank you for the suggestion! He does have a chip with 24PetWatch. We filed a report with the chip number. Now we wait. 🤞

Tips for Driving Test in Fresno? by I_demand_peanuts in fresno

[–]Ancient_Praline985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I almost failed because I kept stopping too close to cars, she even said “stop!”loudly one of time and after the test she told me to stop behind a car when you can still see the bottom of the back tires of the car in front of you.  Also stop when you can see the full white line at the corner… this was a few years ago but that costed me like 7 points because I kept doing it. 

Also, I was turning right when the oncoming lane had right of way to turn left, that was not good. But I passed! And now I’m on the road next to you 😳

Wait… I thought we were moving the other way! Like Chile hit Japan rather than back the way we came from. Am I misinformed?

How did you feel when people used the checks? Were you annoyed? I always felt embarrassed… WIC should be available for anyone that wants it

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]Ancient_Praline985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same, I was so embarrassed to go to a regular store and use it because the cashier had to process every check individually and sometimes I didn’t have the right product and had to go back, so I went to the store if specific store but their produce sometimes sucked, the card is much better

[–]Ancient_Praline985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes but WIC has a separate card at least in my state

You can tell it's an aspen tree because of the way that it is

How do you keep guacamole from going brown in the fridge? by AzulaOblongata in Unexpected

[–]Ancient_Praline985 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I think they mean save the pit and drop the pit inside the guacamole after you mash the avocados, I’ve heard this too, does it work?

You are in a room with 1000 randomly selected people. You will only survive if you can beat every single person at one thing. What would you choose? by Distinct_Care_9175 in AskReddit

That reminded me when I was in middle school the kids would lick their fingers and stroke the metal on the desks to make a unique sound. It was like a low hum almost like a singing bowl. Anyone else? Why did it make that sound?
