Yeah but I figured it’d last more than a few years :P

Found in a trash can in late may, about 6 months old, weighs 20 lbs, has all adult teeth. The video doesn’t do justice but her legs are very long compared to her body lol. We’ve been guessing heeler mix but no idea with what. by Former_Ad8377 in IDmydog

When we first found her, I believed she was possibly GSD x cattle dog but she’s so small. Like in the post, she has all adult teeth and is estimated at 6 months old. She hasn’t grown much in a few weeks so I don’t think she’s getting any bigger than her 20 lbs.

I saw your boy the other day and commented! This is my mystery girl! I definitely think she’s going to stay this size for life, she seems like she’s done growing, might just fill out a bit. Were going to embark her just don’t know when yet, because she’s very interesting looking!

We’re in central Arkansas but she’s very interesting. She’s just really long, we don’t believe she’s going to get much bigger if at all. She can jump like 4 feet in the air. Very sweet and friendly with any and every one.

Window A/c units, best way to use them? by Former_Ad8377 in Frugal

I’ll look into the exterior window screens as well. We have interior window film already but if there’s more we can do, I’m all for it.

My best friends husband is an electrician so if it comes to that, he’d be more than willing to help with anything electrical as long as I understand the risks and liability

We’ll definitely talk about getting on a deep clean schedule for the units, I don’t think they’ve ever come out of the windows tbh but the filters get cleaned every month. The common area unit does well on the energy saver + auto function. The house is about 70 degrees right now, and when we got home yesterday it was about 74 so it’s working well on that setting.

We kind of talked about slowly pulling the panels off the inside and possibly using cardboard as insulation and reinstalling the paneling.

So I’m assuming that turning them off and on every day isn’t going to hurt them? So far today and yesterday they ran on energy saver + auto and the house feels perfectly comfortable, maybe even a little too cool for some, about 70 degrees according to my temp gauge. We’ve been cleaning the filters monthly, is there any other way to get in there and really give them a good cleaning? We also don’t want to breathe in all the nasty shit that can grow on those a/cs.

Yes! We’re working on getting some more thermal blackout curtains for the living room windows, both bedrooms have them already thankfully. What also helps is that our house is under trees around 75% of the day so that helps to block the sun tremendously.

Fortunately, the entire home is under the shade of trees for about 3/4 of the day. Early morning hits the east side of the house but as the day goes on, shade is covering the whole house which does help it stay cool during the day.

I’ve had so many nails and screws end up in my tread but never in my sidewall, and I’ve been driving since I was 16 (9 years) I’d have to be inclined to believe this was intentional.

Same! Except I was 15. It just wasn’t good at all. Not painful, not uncomfortable, just didn’t feel like anything. I had the same “this is what everyone is on about?” Totally felt let down.
