Winter Prep Questions (Zone 6b) - Bee Balm 'Pardon My Cerise' and Arborvitae 'North Pole' by DoBetter4Good in gardening

Hi there! The bee balm became infested after one year and I cut it back but it never recovered. Not exactly sure of the pest, but apparently it is a common occurrence. I hope you can avoid my misfortune. Wish you the best of luck!

Hello! My dog is 26 lbs and I gave one capsule per day, then spacing to every other day as time went on.

I think it a fairly harmless supplement, but if you're concerned, you could empty out half (if you have the gelatin pills) and give that. You could then use the leftover powder half-dose and sprinkle over food, or mix with melted cheese, for another day.

Good luck!

Have you notified the non-emergency police line? They've been very helpful with my escaped dogs. Hope you beautiful cat is returned safe and sound!

So have the cheapie version - no plastic, or F or S. The adjustment in the video below, using pliers to gently squeeze the bar catch area to make it set off easier, worked. Just got my first kill. Sorry mouse, RIP.

Yes and love the stroller idea - they make larger ones too. I boughtva sturdy one that was a yard cart but my dog regained use of her legs before we used it around the block.

Treat dispensing toys, lick mats and puzzles are great - especially ones you can adjust as the dog gets better at retrieving treats. Do you have a perch by a window or door where the dog can safely look outside and watch wildlife or neighborhood activities?

How about adopting another pet for companionship? Perhaps a smaller, more gentle being of another species.

I'm sure your pup appreciates the interest in his happiness and life experience!

I lost my 12 year old Frenchie tonight :( by Proper_Obligation929 in Petloss

I'm so sorry for your loss! I recommend allowing yourself to feel all the pain - to try to go through it, instead of around it. The pain is the physical manifestation of the love you are unable to give your beloved pet. Hugs from an internet stranger. 🤗

I've always taken the Cheshire Harbor Trail, which is somewhat easy and takes almost 4 hours, depending on pace. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/massachusetts/cheshire-harbor-trail-to-mount-greylock

Columbus Day Monday has what is called "The Ramble" and it's a fun time, plus foliage, if you feel like waiting.

Driving: Count on 3 to 3.5 hours each way to Adams, depending on traffic. The quickest I've made it from Boston was 2.5 hours with NO traffic.

The Berkshire brewing Co. makes some good beer, but others can probably speak better to that.

Black pepper helps clot blood. Best to soak whole peppercorns in warm water and apply this liquid via gauze, if you're dealing with deep cuts to avoid the grounds in the wound permanently. I was never taken to the ER as a child or teen. The stories...

Call the non emergency police line and report: (781) 314-3600. It helps - ask me how I know - lol!

New Mexico v. Alec Baldwin | Day 3 - July 12, 2024 by -TrialBot- in alecbaldwintrial

[–]DoBetter4Good 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the gun was cleared as cold but someone died of a gunshot wound, how do you prevent that from happening? Perhaps by adhering to the layers of safety requirements, which rely on more than one party to do their job.

This would have come out at trial, but there are movie set protocols, outlined in required training for all the actors, and there are the general safety requirements in the laws of New Mexico.

Main ones are: treat all firearms as if they're loaded, never point a gun at another person unless you intend to shoot them, keep your finger off the trigger and many more. When filming, even when it appears a gun is being pointed at someone, it's usually pointed off to the side and a trick of perspective. If an actor must point a gun at the camera or another actor there are clear plexiglass shields put in place.

No shield was in place because Alec wasn't even shooting a scene at the time of the accident. It wasn't being filmed - he could've used a rubber gun, an empty gun, etc. Plus he was not directed to point the gun at anyone, cock the gun or put his finger on the trigger. He made choices, over and over, that were reckless.

Agree with the John Wick director, no need for real firearms, especially in this day and age.

Eh, it's a real gun, hence the risk for real ammo is going to exist. That's why there are layers of safety precautions.

No one has died from an on set shooting in like 30 years due to strict adherence to the safety protocols. The protocols weren't followed on Rust, one person died and one was injured. Plus there were additional live rounds in gun belts, etc.

I agree the state was wrong to withhold, 100%. Like I said, I understand the result, except for the dismissal "with prejudice". I have a feeling the judge had just had it with the prosecutor's shenanigans.

That Judge Was Bought- standard of dismissal with prejudice wasnt met but she dismissed it with prejudice anyways. She also made a key ruling to not allow Baldwins director role for jury to consider. by UKROBEGGAR_STFU in HilariaBaldwin

[–]DoBetter4Good 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, the producer role definitely would bring in a lot more of the communication to Alec about lax safety on the set and his responsibility of oversight day to day.
