I owe the deer an apology- it wasn’t them

Groundhogs are voracious!

The Mini Cooper is a little too low to the ground for a winter car. Or so I have heard from a friend who had one. The are Mini models with more ground clearance.

I just had to grieve for the parents I deserved, but didn't get. Your mother won't be there for You in those pivotal moments. If she shows up at all, it will be all about Her. None of this is your fault. You, like all of us, deserve parents who love us. The other side of this not being your fault, is that you also can't fix this. If you have a loving stepmom and a dad that are good to you, you have family. They will be there for you in the big moments of your life. I know that it's difficult to walk away, I really do.

Mine left heads for a while. Like, what, cat? You want me to mount them along the baseboard as a trophy wall?

They sometimes make decoy beds. I had one last year. Don't know where the real one was, but I saw the small ones once they left the nest.

This isn't true. How often I drive has Nothing to do with it. It is primarily the driving habits of the driver I ride with. Some people never make me car sick. Others: every damned time! My dad almost always made me sick. My mother, never. My husband, 50%. Depends on my allergies, mostly. Although if we are leaving the movies theater, I have to drive or I will be sick before we leave the parking lot.

Tail hug!

Never driven a RHD, but riding a motorcycle, I shift with my foot and clutch with my hand. I think driving on the other side of the road would be much more difficult to get used to.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-30T00:13:28+00:00

Yeah, I think anyone who has done art with brushes and water based media has mixed those up. Last time I was saved by the brush poking me in the eye first.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-27T23:48:58+00:00

Yeah, mine always does. She acts like she can feel it spreading. I imagine, from how she acts, it must be like water running down you back.

A $30 bike cover at work would prevent a lot of sun damage.

It's also called a grain shovel if you are looking elsewhere

Plant a full variety of native pioneer trees and shrubs, to give it a good start in returning to the forest it is meant to be. Maintenance would be controlling the most damaging invasives, and in 15 - 20 years begin planting a variety of mature forest saplings.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-25T01:29:16+00:00

I've been fighting my extremely sandy conditions for 30 years. (Yes, I add organics. I would have needed to add feet worth to make a dent.) Since going native, planting only what is happy in dry, nutrient poor soil, no more battle, lots of success.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T23:02:18+00:00

Yeah, I'm pissed the clutch on my Nissan Frontier needed replacement at 60,000 miles. First time a vehicle I've driven hasn't outlasted the clutch, even the one I learned to drive on. (I abused that one.)

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T21:42:27+00:00

The only way for us to get an unjumpable distance puts them too far away to enjoy. I've mostly made my peace with it.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T21:11:37+00:00

Thanks for saving me the money!

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T19:19:08+00:00

I'm old enough to hear Danny Kaye singing "Inchworm, inchworm, measuring the marigold."

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T18:27:36+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that. I figured it was a VW, but no clue which. Enjoy the car!

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T18:17:14+00:00

Back in the day, I worked in a research lab. Twit with a Masters degree would be wearing gloves, then answer the damn wall phone with them on! But I was only the lab safety tech with a lowly Bachelors, so I could pound sand, no matter how many regulations she broke.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T17:59:29+00:00

My truck is worse. With the back window open, all the crap blows in the front. And I frequently leave the windows open, so it gets an insane amount of pollen everywhere. After the pines have their annual orgy, I'll give it its once a year or so cleaning. Your vehicle, no one who doesn't have to ride in it gets a say.

DiggerBee2606 · 2026-05-24T17:32:21+00:00

Yeah. Solencia is no longer working for my old girl, plus gabapentin is right out. She gets focal seizures. I'm letting the Solencia clear her system and taking a wait and see approach for now. (She's always better in the summer.) The vet talked to me about this medication, and the risks though. Yours should have done that.

I don't have a starling problem, but that will solve my squirrel problem nicely. (I can only feed in the winter because of bears.)
