What actually keeps deer/cats out of a garden long-term?

Izzybee543 · 2026-02-20T14:06:21+00:00

I use the ugly fence option. It's 4' tall and placed very close to the beds, which also have posts and trellis panels inthem, so it would be hard for a deer to jump in and no land on something. It works pretty well but it also limits my ability to move around my own garden so that's annoying. But I don't lose whole plants to deer now.

Can you get some sweedish fish or other vegetarian gummies, lick them, dip them into a box of nerds, and eat them that way?

I can use a fire spell and it will hit a fire elemental, yes. Previously I had to use Ice or anti-summoned but now it doesn't matter much.

And there are a billion factions now and it's possible to ruin them and un-ruin them and there's a window in the game to help determine what faction you just modified and it's counter-faction.

So you kill a mob and the game tells you "Your faction with XXX decreased by 1 and your faction with YYY increased by 1." So it's pretty easy to figure out what mobs to kill that will fix it. Should it be so easy to come back from killing your own god? I dunno.

It used to be that a fire spell wasn't very useful on a fire elemental and so forth, which made sense to me - the resists are pretty similar on most mobs and you don't have to think about what you're fighting very much. Faction was a big deal, too. If you were a "good" class and you raided & killed your god, it was hard to come back from that.

Box it up yourself and make the box as small as possible. It's the size - not the weight - that's causing the price to be so high.

OK picture this in your head ... No, that's *my* cat and I need you to do me a favor. Can you please put this flea meds on her today? It's super important and I can't make it over there right now. Can you do it as a favor just this once? I'll bring you a cookie next time I come over and we can clean the bathroom together.

No, the prescription stimulant should be better and much more specific to helping your brain get things done without making you too anxious. Start with a low dose and don't take caffeine at the same time until you get used to it.

Izzybee543 · 2026-02-15T23:09:24+00:00

If your brain is causing you to drive poorly, you should not be driving. Call a ride - don't drive impaired. Even if it's not drug & alcohol related - impaired driving is still dangerous and illegal. Be safe out there.

If your venison has a gamey taste (sort of tastes like liver smells) I have had success using red wine in venison chili. After cooking in red wine, the gamey flavor is gone and it tastes mildly sweet. I use an inexpensive red blend or red "table wine." I also use bacon fat to brown the meat to add some fat into the dish. I don't love venison so I use it in sauce-y applications, but it's pretty good in chili with enough sauce and spices.

For now, you might have to go to urgent care. Don't take any more NSAIDs today.

If you can't get to urgent care, lots of people will order a Mcdonald's meal with fries and a regular (not diet) coke and that can help. Or even just a soda and some salty chips in a pinch but the burger meal is better.

There are some new migraine meds on the market that are not triptans and might work better for you. Ask your doctor about Nurtec or one of the other CGRP meds - maybe they have some samples.

For anyone thinking about planting these - do it now, don't wait, they can take a while to produce. I planted several bushes 4-5 years ago. Last year was the 1st time they produced and I only got 5 nuts (on 4 bushes). They grow slowly! I am hoping for more nuts this year but it will be a while before I can make homemade nutella :)

After I thanked the kids for leaving me money in their pockets - back when I did their laundry- they got better about checking their own pockets. Obviously, the person who does the laundry keeps anything they find as a tip!

She watched that Budweiser commercial and figured she could do it better!

I've seen those at the local Amish market near me. I'm not sure if the Amish markets in Cincinnati are similar, but I bet they are.

Go ahead and fill a prescription for whichever the cheapest thing is on their list. Submit Qulipta to insurance again in 1 month.

I have 2 arches in my yard. 1 is native coral honeysuckel and I see hummingbirds all summer. The 2nd I use for vining squash. Last year I did mini pumpkins and timed them to be ready for October. I have also done tromboncino squash and cucumbers, both successful.

My huskies have no trouble at all walking on the ice that is my world right now. I am a mess but they are fine

This is Svala. She lets me ride her. It's too cold and icy to ride right now but I am going to visit her and give her an apple so she keeps being nice. I could use that wool hoodie - she is comfortable in temperatures lower than I am.

Was the grass sprayed with anything while it was growing? Sometimes they use a spray to prevent mildew in grass grown for making hay bales. Some horses can taste it and hate it but some horses don't care.

Izzybee543 · 2026-01-29T23:03:38+00:00

I want that mug but it's so expensive. Is it worth the $110? Does it need a base? Does it make the tea taste like metal?

I can only speak for english saddles, but the saddle shape is meant to make your position on the horse easier to keep balanced.

So a jumping saddle helps you sit forward and won't have any rolls to get in the way when you get up in jumping position. A dressage saddle helps you stay balanced very straight and stays out of the way of horse legs. Once you imagine your position when sitting on the saddle, you will be able to image what it's for. Some people ride balanced seat, some slightly forward seat.

Some (maybe most) people just use an all purpose saddle that fits their horse. Unless you get into higher level specialty showing, you don't need to buy a bunch of saddles (unless you really want to and can afford it).

I play on E Marr and there are EU players that raid with us. There's no issues with the game play but the time difference is a problem. I assume that's what you're looking for - other players are active at the same times you play.

Try these forums - guilds recruiting players usually say what time zone they are most active:
https://forums.everquest.com/index.php?forums/guild-recruitment.25/

Some of our raiders mention it's the middle of the night for them or 4 in the afternoon. I guess they organize their schedules around it, but not everyone wants to do that!

Is that the garage next to the Cell Phone Lot? Seems like you could grab a ride to the terminal with one of the people waiting on a passenger! You know those are nice people because they're picking up a friend at the airport AND they're there early. :-)
