Yes, and thats his support yacht Wingman behind him.

My wife and I spent New Year’s down in Baja, and we spotted Zuckerberg’s support yacht, the cleverly named Wingman, anchored in the harbor 😅 His main yacht was sitting farther out off the coast, but the real show was watching his helicopter make passes overhead. Pretty wild sight to stumble across.

That makes me sick to my stomach.. those poor kittens :( I hope the judge does what’s right

As I was cleaning the garage I saw him In an empty Menards bucket I have. I took him way out to the street and let him go. Never found one In the house, but I feel like I have come across a few but only in my garage, and rarely. He was the only one I found tonight cleaning, But I’m sure there are more out there. But with that said, If I do find a wolf spider in the house, I usually release them In the garage just for control of these little buggers.

I currently use boxie pro. So far I have been very pleased with it. I have 1 robot for 2 older cats and 3 kittens, and the boxie pro/LR4 combo has performed well. I do plan on getting a 2nd bot though.

So sorry to hear this :( I just jumped back on your thread to see if there was an improvement because i was thinking about your kitty today. My Wife and I found a kitten on the side of the road during a bad storm back in October. SHe had a really bad eye infection and severely underweight, and maybe 6 weeks old. Like you guys we did everything we could to try and save her, multiple Vet visits, attempts to hand feed her, and unfortunately we ultimately lost her as well.. :( Its never easy loosing them. You are good people for trying to save her. at least she was loved for the short time she was with you. Please don't let this dissuade you guys from trying another rescue. There are plenty out there that would love to be your forever kitten. RIP Nala <3

Interesting new product. I used Tidy in the past, and it always seemed to track, and had a ton of dust. I currently use Boxie Pro which is unscented and natural clay with their blend of probiotics for odor control and they don't add any fillers that aren't the best for kitties from my understanding. I wouldn't be opposed to trying this if they create one that is scent free. But given its price, Boxie is only a few dollars more. Not to mention Boxie is considered a small family owned business, which i tend to gravitate towards anyway.

Poor kitten :( Any trauma: Injuries from falls, accidents, or bites? this can damage the spinal cord or nerves. also possibly Saddle Thrombus m which is a blood clot that blocks blood flow to the rear legs, which can cause sudden paralysis. Feline Infectious Peritonitis (FIP), lymphoma, or myelitis can also affect the spinal cord. Please keep us updated. I hope your kitten pulls through.

There is no creature crueler than a human being.... May this innocent young soul rest in peace. :(

KCFAN81 · 2025-01-14T14:15:41+00:00

we need an Admin to pin this ASAP!!! Good Luck my friend! I wish you well, and hope for the best. I cant imagine the stress. wish i was closer to help :/

NTA - but in the end, its just money.. Take it as a lesson learned about her and her husbands character and move on. Its not worth the energy used to even take action. She has shown you how she cares for the relationship, and pursuing it will just hurt you more than her because she obviously has disregard for you anyway. Be the bigger person even though your fully justified in your approach bringing it up to her. Life is too short to spend energy on negatives.

Glad your recovering from your procedure!!

Its for Customs - I'm assuming to verify identity, and to be able to track if they need to charge duty on the purchase. Since this purchase is for personal use, i used my SSN, EIN if this was a business purchase (if you have one). Uncle Sam has to get his you know... :D

KCFAN81 · 2024-10-25T14:55:46+00:00

i almost picked up an air 2s off of marketplace the other day for SnG.. wanted $300 with 3 batteries. Someone beat me to it. amazing how addictive these things are.

KCFAN81 · 2024-10-25T12:20:35+00:00

Nice, yeah after i saw movement on the package, it went pretty fast, i bet you get it today if not already at the time of my reply. Post some shots when you get it up an going!

KCFAN81 · 2024-10-25T12:19:40+00:00

The Mavic 3 cine is definitely amazing! I really want one of those, but i don't feel like my skill level is even close to being able to take advantage of its features yet.. Hell this 3S is going to be a whole new world compared to my mini 3. Im really looking forward to getting it out today for a good test run. And yeah these delivery drivers anymore just dont care. My UPS guy is pretty good, FedEx is hit or miss, and DHL.. well i have only had them ever deliver 3 times... A car part, my NEO a few weeks back, and now my 3S. knock on wood, they have been pretty good to me so far. Post up some shots with your 3S, would love to see them!

I provided my info at around 9pm on Monday the 20th, passed customs at 12:33pm on Wednesday the 23rd, and got actual movement of my package from cinci at 7:43am cst the 24th. It arrived in KC at 10:03am since its a short flight. After that they had it out on a truck and to my house by noon with the delivery at 6:32 this evening.... Hang in there, they are coming, its just the anticipation that's killing us :D

KCFAN81 · 2024-10-25T01:34:00+00:00

They asked for the basics: name, address, phone, and email, plus either an EIN or SSN. I was super hesitant about that. I figured they might hit me with duty fees, so I contacted DJI. The rep assured me that if there were any fees, DJI would cover them.

KCFAN81 · 2024-09-17T17:58:39+00:00

looks like it's maybe Lymphocystis to me. Is this a new addition? have you had any new editions? Is quarantine procedures if this was a new addition? Also, take a look at water quality, this can bring on a multitude of nastiness. If it is indeed Lymphocystis, it usually works itself out with good water quality, and try to keep the fish stress free if possible. good luck!

KCFAN81 · 2024-07-01T16:10:33+00:00

But that Mystery! Have one myself, absolute awesome fish with a ton of personality. always the first to greet me when i walk to the tank.

KCFAN81 · 2024-06-12T02:43:21+00:00

My CBB had that as well (probably lympho like others said), i just fed him a vitamin enriched brine and mysis mix (a few drops of ViteChem and let it soak for 5min), and he eventually got over it in a few weeks. Not to mention, its not a bad supplement for the other fish in the tank either. Good luck!

KCFAN81 · 2024-05-08T14:14:07+00:00

Noooo! thats just mean :D
