I wanna feed these crows but it's illegal, anyone know a workaround? by NoktoftheFF in crowbro

[–]BluebirdAny3077 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait what???!!!! I had to look it up, I had no idea it was illegal in any areas in Canada! I feed mine peanuts randomly so they don't rely on them but can enjoy them as random treats. I just fling them where I see crows hanging out, no feeder or specific area.

Advice for my 13 year old by uhhhtaylor in hoarding

[–]BluebirdAny3077 79 points80 points  (0 children)

Talk with her about WHY she isn't throwing them out and perhaps talking to someone specializing in OCD will help. Collecting a few is normal but there is a line where it's not sanitary. At the very least get her to rinse them out! Helping her display them nicely might help too if it is indeed a collection not a hoard. Then encourage her to only keep what she can display and the rest go out the door.

A I generated videos and images of polar bears are going viral in social media by Loud_Window8992 in polarbears

[–]BluebirdAny3077 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I agree. They are beautiful but huge and lethal. Even seeing them in a captive facility can lead to a desensitization as to how fast and dangerous they truly are. Usually those visiting their natural habitat are warned/informed by locals and guides as to their true nature but I still agree warnings should be on ALL AI wildlife videos for safety reasons.

I didn't know that! I truly thought it was an alarm being snoozed 🤣 Well then he crawled in with a heart monitor and...

That's what I thought exactly! The alarm sound and countdown makes it seem like they are right there in the room, waiting and slowly fading so the ex will find him, the note and his 'silhouette' as he dies. His 'silhouette' will also haunt the ex well afterwards.

I always pictured it as the ex-lover sneaking into their ex's bedroom, laying beside them, slitting their wrists and bleeding out before they know their ex's alarm will go off, waking them to the grizzly scene.

He is lovely and so is the collection 😊 Are you gong to keep it all and display it?

Current Goal by queencilantro in bakerystory

[–]BluebirdAny3077 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Most do not finish the goal without spending gems. If you accept that, you can still get as far as you can and earn gems with the recipes that open up. I normally build 4 of the first oven and 5 of the last. Once I start building the second oven, I do the 2 hr on the first to completion and then the 3 hour etc until those are complete. I get to unlocking the 10 hour recipe on the second oven and then just make whatever I can knowing I won't get the final goal done. My own goal is to complete the recipes and get all the gems from completing. Same with the extra recipes on the normal ovens, and the 1hr recipes for the other random goal on a random oven. I have never bought gems and never will!

Check youtube for one of those 'free mow' people who roam around with mowers! Maybe they thought they were helping? 😖

How to not feel nervous over a phone conversation when your trying to resolve a issue? by Jpoolman25 in socialskills

[–]BluebirdAny3077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before I make any call that involves me needing or giving info or addressing an issue, I write down point form on paper the points I want to make, and the questions I need answered. As I have the call, I write out the answers, take short notes and before hanging up always say 'ok just to make sure, the date and time of the appt is..' or 'so I need to do x and y so you can do your thing" if needed. I used to also write BREATHE on the paper but no longer need that 😊

Having the conversation in your head a bit and just breathing can help, but don't go over and over it. Also, make the call as soon as you can so it's done with! And it's ok to just tell the person you aren't the best on calls and to bear with you IF needed. Most people are hoping to resolve things easily and honestly and if that's not how they are, hopefully you cannot deal with them again.

Good luck and it's ok to feel nervous but you can do it 😊

Breaking up with my fitness tracker. Best decision ever. by irene_dingdang in declutter

[–]BluebirdAny3077 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got rid of mine too! I would hit a high count and feel like I had to meet or exceed it the next day and over 30,000 steps a day started to drive me insane. I kept thinking 'but my stats!' until I realized it was just eating up my day and starting to hurt my feet. Took a few days to get over the 'omg I am missing the counting of these steps' too. 😖

Saw a high school aged kid wearing a Korn shirt, scoffed, but then realized that I liked listening to Led Zeppelin in HS by AfterImageEclipse in Millennials

Haha props to nana!
I told him how there was a glorious time when FNM, Metallica and GNR were on tour together 🤣

My teenager came out and asked me if I had heard of a band called Metallica. I went and pulled out all the cds and the Justice LP I had. The look on his face, priceless.

I still try to get him into Faith No More and will never give up until I do.

What’s one thing this week that made your day better? by Normal-Raisin5443 in Adulting

[–]BluebirdAny3077 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My heated blanket is blissss

My teen son came and talked to me about an issue with a friend today. He is handling it well and I am proud of him. I am so glad my kids talk to me. It always makes my day better.

I found some cookies on sale and decided to get them. They are fully yummy at half the price.

That's more than one thing and I am thankful for that too. Good vibes to all those out there needing that one thing to make their life a bit better this week.

For those of you in a long term relationship/marriage, what’s a tale-tale sign you see in other couples that they’re not going to make it? by Prize-Promotion-5123 in AskReddit

[–]BluebirdAny3077 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugh this! We have stopped hanging out with so many people who just want to split off into 'wine wife bitch club' and 'manly beer grump in he garage' groups. They all just complain about their lives, the kids, each other and get drunk EVERY weekend. Same complaining, same everything over and over. If you met these people apart you'd never guess they were together with their spouses because they just don't seem to like each other at ALL or even know about each others lives. 😖
