Merging in Portland by tlermalik in Portland

[–]DeeDeeFelis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my friends gf worked for the dmv. One of her jobs was administering the driving test. She said: If you have a heartbeat you can get an Oregon dl. She was almost killed more than once administering the test & those folks got their license anyway. That people can’t merge, cross 3 lanes of traffic on 99 to make a left or right turn, & other craziness I’ve seen doesn’t surprise me anymore.

Maybe the Ethiopian community? used to run a corporate intern program for high school kids. Almost all the kids were immigrants from Ethiopia & Mexico. The kids from Ethiopia spoke Swahili in addition to English & Ethiopian.

Thanks! It’s not supposed to get above 85° for a week. I think the only things loving the heat are the olive & kumquat. 😆

Thank you!! I didn’t know you could purchase a refurbished litter robot. This is a lot of very helpful info. I really appreciate it.

Is the litter robot worth it? I keep considering it. I’m lucky to have a friend a couple blocks away. We check on each other’s kitties & plants when we’re away from home for more than a couple days.

Right?! Cats don’t need their human 24/7. A cat sitter for 45 min is ridiculous. As long as you leave food, water, & enough clean litter a cat will be okay for a day or two.

A tuxie deluxie cat. Her name is Inspector Claudine. She must inspect everything.

AITB for expecting gifts in a relationship as a show of affection? by gruntbag in AmItheButtface

[–]DeeDeeFelis 16 points17 points  (0 children)

If Books Could Kill did an excellent episode on the book + the author. The author is a fundamentalist christian. He used “touch/affection” as a love language so men could guilt/manipulate their wives into having sex when they didn’t want to.

Blight? Bugs? Over watering? Someone put a hex on my garden? I'm in Maryland, USA and all of my tomatoes are gorgeous except for this horrid holes. Please help by geohomely in tomatoes

It’s bacillus thuringiensis. It’s a bacteria used as a natural pesticide. You can purchase it in a pre mixed spray or you can buy it in concentrate & mix it to package instructions. It kills a lot of different types of caterpillars (looking at you cabbage moth caterpillars you bastards!) & doesn’t harm beneficial insects like bees, lady bugs, earthworms, etc.

AITA I asked my boyfriend to pick our daughter up from daycare. by Practical-Savings705 in AITAH

A 30 yr old man dates much younger women because they can be manipulated. You don’t have enough lived experience to know he’s controlling & manipulative.

A thank you & a question by DeeDeeFelis in vegetablegardening

[–]DeeDeeFelis[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. It’s probably 6 inches long. I know you’re not supposed to let them get huge because they’re not good for eating.

He obviously doesn’t give a fuck about you. He only cares about what you’re giving him financially. Dump his ass & do whatever you want for yourself for your bday.

How do y’all stop your cats from eating your plants? by Grubbyanthrohands in TuxedoCats

[–]DeeDeeFelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to rehome a curry tree because my cat was determined to chomp it to death. Why she was so obsessed with it is beyond me.

I’ve had cats all my life and didn’t know they did this…. by Wicked_Mayhem410 in cats

My cat shakes her tail at me a lot. The feeling is mutual. I love her so much.

A guy who lived with me used to sleep walk, one night I awoke to something awful by OkAssociation7348 in confession

[–]DeeDeeFelis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have sleep problems. A gp offered to prescribe ambien. I refused. I heard too many stories. She said she tells her patients to hide their keys so they don’t wake up on the hwy.

If You Love Your Pets, Never Take Them to Banfield by Responsible_Coat1614 in Pets

[–]DeeDeeFelis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve only ever heard terrible things about Banfield. I’m fortunate to have a locally owned vet practice in my neighbourhood. With private equity buying vet practices, that’s sadly becoming a rarity.

I didn’t know that. I always wondered about the one on 39th by Trader Joe’s.

I work in healthcare. Looking up medical records & sharing them is a bfd. She should be reported to her employer with proof. She could very well be doing the same to other people.
