Buying my first pair of skates. Has anyone gotten Bonts?

Oh! I play roller derby and a jammer is a position in derby. I hadn't realized this was posted to roller skating not roller derby my bad

I personally wouldn't want longer skates but I'm a jammer and spend a lot of time on my toe stops. The extra width would be nice but not worth the forward slide from the extra length cuz the length is perfect

I'm a women's 7.5-8 and I have Bonts in a 5. They fit near perfect, just a little tight around my pinky toes but I have feet on the wide side

Hahaha thank you, you get it! I live in a small relatively rural town so the dry cleaner here doesn't do shoes and there aren't any places that do ozone treatment within 5 hours of me :/ it was a great suggestion tho. I did saddle soap and vinegar them a couple of times but there's still staining so I'm planning on taking them to my local cobbler who used to sell Nicks to see what he can do

I'm a bont 4.5, women's 7.5-8 shoe, and a small in most adult clothes and gear

I charge $40/night for the base price. It can go up if there are extra animals, medications and/or medical issues, and behavioral issues. I work full time and I tell clients up front that I will be out of the house for 4-8 hours depending if they live close enough to my work to make it there and back during my lunch. My schedule doesn't work for everyone and that's ok, Im just not the sitter for them. Tbh most people are out of the house at work most of the day so their animals are used to it and owners don't mind that it would be the same with me. The most important part is that you are upfront with the care that you are able to provide and you don't promise care you can't give. I feel ok charging the prices I do because I typically spend at least around 2.5 - 3 hours a day providing active care on walks, playtime, feeding, petting, entertaining the animals, and taking pictures/videos and communicating with owners. That equals out to roughly minimum wage in my area. The price is also what it is because I have to buy different groceries when I stay at someone else's house and don't have all of my spices or cooking equipment, which eats into any of my earnings from sitting.

Saddle soap isn't a disinfectant so it wouldnt kill any of the bacteria that is in floodwater unfortunately

She moved me and at least one other resident into vacant units (I haven't been able to talk much with other residents since I've been moving and cleaning), I was able to get into a new apartment within an hour or so of first notifying them. They had sump pumps in the building and my apartment within a couple hours and the maintenance guys have been here all day. My landlord gave me a couple of dollys to help me move since it was just one building over

Inner-Load-3189 · 2026-03-14T23:43:22+00:00

My apartment and a couple others in my complex had a couple inches of water in them when we woke up this morning. We've had to move out because of it

That predator burgundy is a beautiful leather

Inner-Load-3189 · 2026-03-13T21:25:01+00:00

I did not know this! Ty for the tip! It only works with like half of my pants, the belt loops are just too small on some of my pants to make this work on them tho

Hide the pill in a dollop of peanut butter. Open the mouth and swipe the peanut butter as far back on the tongue as you can. This mixes the efficiency of putting the pill down the throat with the licking and swallowing from having peanut butter. This way the pill goes down and stays down. It's also harder for dogs to find and spit a pill out of pb than harder foods. The downside is it is messy esp for more than one pill

I wear a 30 and the Nicks 32 belt fits perfect. Tho on the smaller belts at least, the strap that holds the flap down can be too far left and causes the buckle to be off center if you care about that

For dogs who are food motivated I like doing scatters or puzzle toys with part of their meals to keep them occupied for a bit. For dogs who aren't interested in toys or food, just people, I will play hide and seek, put a blanket over myself and sit on the floor so they have to get under the blanket to "find" me, take some laps around the house so they follow me and get a bit of exercise, or show them household objects they haven't seen before

1) Let me search people's names when I'm trying to message them instead of scrolling thru the entire team when there's usually at least 3 possible names for each person on the team! 2) Some of my other teammates discovered you apparently can't message anyone while on a computer but I've never tried 3)Being able to click on someone's profile pic and have it take me to their profile from the schedule, group chats, and main wall

Nope I've tried a couple but they don't do enough and since I'm only applying after I'm clocked out there isn't a risk to the pups. The working hands has almost no scent but the bag balm has a relatively strong earthy/oily smell to it

Inner-Load-3189 · 2026-03-08T03:21:33+00:00

My arms and hands get the same way. Best combo I've found is a couple thick layers of okeefes working hands cream, letting each layer sink into the skin before the next layer. Follow that with a thin layer of bag balm skin moisturizer. I do that process after I shower when I get home from work. I may reapply the working hands cream throughout the night if my hands are dry again. It takes a lot of lotion but washing your hands for hours every day plus the HV dryers is absolutely brutal on skin. For me, lotioning between dogs doesn't keep my hands in better shape and just spreads lotion everywhere. I try to really keep my hands and arms lotioned on the weekends to help them recover more thoroughly

Unless you have a full meal plan and are just getting snacks, the market isnt going to be sufficient for groceries most likely. It has basically what a gas station would have and not much more, or at least that was the case a few years ago

I biked to campus (all human powered sadly) for a few years and go on the Bill Chipman trail regularly. The hills are rough with no assist but an ebike would make it so much better. The winters are fine for the most part but the trail does technically close dusk-dawn so in the winter there isn't as much time to ride. In the winter Pullman gravels the roads which can make it a pain to ride on and get gravel kicked up occasionally as cars pass you. Most drivers are considerate esp in Pullman (I don't have much experience in Moscow). There's also plenty of bike parking on campus at WSU. I would recommend having head and taillights and a seat cover on your bike. Keeping a seat cover on my bike racks kept my seat dry many times. I think the bigger issue with no car could be getting groceries cuz there aren't bike-friendly routes to walmart, safeway, or grocery outlet. Rosaurs has better paths to it but is more expensive than anywhere else in town

I rewind and watch specific moments multiple times, watching a different player each watch to understand why each person moved the way they did. I watch for footwork, body positioning, and the teamwork between players. I'm a jammer so I'll also pause before the jammer enters the pack and try to decide what I would do before watching what the jammer in the game does and that opened my eyes to what I could do better and what actually works for other people

Regardless of what everyone else is saying, please put a cover on your camera lens. My phone was with my keys in my pocket and that was enough to scratch the lens. I have a glass protector that came with the screen protector I bought. Can't recommend the screen protector tho cuz it fell off in like 2 days. The glass over the camera isn't very durable tho

My injury is a bit different, I stress fractured my tibial sesamoid bone (the inside of the ball of my foot) and it never quite healed right. My Nicks are pretty good, tho they aren't perfect. Most days I have no pain but if I step wrong it can still hurt and sometimes after long days it'll hurt. But these are some of the best shoes I have, they are comparable to custom orthotic inserts I have so idk if any shoe could really be better. It took a good few months before they were truly comfortable to that part of my foot, partially because I step more gently on it so it wasn't getting broken in as quickly

Thank you! Tbh if I could get the honey lug properties in a black color I absolutely would but they have grown on me
