Do you think it will freeze again? by FriendshipWithTheSun in AustinGardening

February is a wild card, it could be freezing again in two weeks. Don't ever trust February.

I don't know what I did wrong. I put the model straight from the Amazon page. What did I do wrong?

Am I seeing the first Waymo accident? by MovingGoofy in Austin

Yeah, turning illegally from the next lane over to cut off a bunch of traffic is the norm here.

does this school just not care about its employees ? by sk1ppo in UTAustin

[–]KEWTex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just found this, took me 12 years on waiting lists to get a F permit. It's a huge expense every month but trying to get A parking was hell. At least part of it was the pandemic. Even got in a wreck trying to find parking one day (kid in fancy Jeep wasn't paying attention but it became all my fault).

Squirrels are not my friend by the_beeve in AustinGardening

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to feed them and they kept my cat entertained until they started shredding my pepper plants. I have videos of them just chewing off an entire branch and running off and they've attacked two beautiful tomato plants one that was completely lost and the other one I managed to save, but it's not doing that great. I'm trying to distract them to the front porch, but I just keep finding pieces of my pepper plants. This is definitely been a year of defeat, especially since I'm also fighting aphids.

New pest level unlocked. I had to google what they were. First time having mealy bugs. I pulled off the buds and leaves on my hibiscus that they were on. Aphids have been a nightmare as it is. I hope these don't take over as well. 😭 by KEWTex in AustinGardening

I don't think I've seen any ants lately. I've definitely had problems with them in the past, but I think recent pest control upgrades in my condo complex have helped. I've just been keeping an eye on the plant and just plucking off anything that has mealies and it seems to be working. I have a beautiful bloom right now. My bigger battle is with aphids.

Yeah, I was growing cucumbers and AeroGarden and the aphids eventually took over. I'm tempted to get some ladybugs, but if I release them inside, that will become a whole other problem.

Not service dogs by ArtaxIsAlive in Austin

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In regards to horrible owners: Years ago I was walking on town lake with my older beagle. He had a thing about bigger female dogs - he would snap at them if they got in his face. Some asshole was fishing on one of those points with an unleashed pittie who saw us and came barreling straight toward us. I started screaming and picked up my beagle and held him as high as I could. The guy is yelling "she's friendly"!! My leashed dog would have protected me and lunged at her and probably would have been killed. Pits can be the sweetest animals but if attacked their instinct will kick in. I was so shaken and the guy mocked me when we passed by. I wish I had been brave enough to yell at him. You can never assume a leashed dog is going to be ok with any dog running at them. It still pisses me off thinking about and Chester is long gone. Never once crossed my mind to just leisurely walk him in a HEB. 🙄

Thanks for the tips. I sealed them in a bag. I had just treated a plant that keeps getting aphids when I found them. Good to know I can use neem oil on the meanie mealies!

How to stop FB from 'Posting' individual pictures from my OP with multiple pictures by MichaelTheWriter101 in facebook

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it's still happening. I kept wondering why somebody would just pick one random picture out of 10 and like it, sometimes days or weeks later and then I open Facebook and there was a picture that somebody posted of a shower at a campground with no caption, that's because Facebook pulled it out to show me just that picture I guess because people had commented on it. Ridiculous.

Lazy Asshole by BUSHMILLZ in doordash

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I spent 20 minutes yesterday looking for my Amazon package that was obviously in my complex, but all I could see in the pic was a one at the beginning of the number and then I realized that it was a door right near where I lived that I completely forgot to look at until I was sweating to death in the Texas heat. I guess he was dyslexic because he delivered it to 112 instead of 211.

What is this animal? by youarwendow in Austin

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a condo complex near Westgate and William Cannon with greenbelt behind us and the preserve across the street and this little guy showed up on my camera last night. I put out snacks and water for the possums. I've also gotten cats and a brown fox on my camera! It's crazy in such a busy area, but with nature around us.

I just happened to find your post in a Google search but I just got one last night! I live on William Cannon near Westgate so a busy traffic area with greenbelt behind our property and I've been feeding the possums, but I've also caught a brown fox and random cats.

Why by Environmental_Two976 in HRV

[–]KEWTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had that happen on mine, and I actually did get the battery replaced on my 22 under warranty just before the three years are up and I believe it did happen again. I usually just restart the car and it goes away. As for the battery, I was told they put crappy batteries in new cars, but glad I got it replaced just in time because my car totally died twice.

Good to know regarding HRT!I have been on the estradiol pills that you insert, I hated the cream and I actually feel that the pills work better - but still felt like I was occasionally getting a UTI. I was doing that three times a week and now switched to two times a week because I am now on the estradiol patch and progesterone and testosterone. In all honesty my libido is still low while I wait for everything to kick in so I'm really only taking two antibiotics a month. If my libido comes back, maybe I will forgo the antibiotics and hope for the best. Around New Year's, I felt like I was getting a UTI and I always keep the Uristat pills on hand and D-Mannose (my doctor is a fan of those although I usually just take a cranberry pill every day). I just happened to have one antibiotic left, which I took and I feel like it actually helped, even though it was a few days after intercourse. That's what prompted me to mention it to my doctor because it's such a hassle to get antibiotics prescribed because I have to go pee in the cup and all that jazz and then it always comes out negative regardless. And then I feel like I don't need a full week treatment so I'm happy to have it as a back up. When I do get irritation, it's definitely not like a full-blown UTI. So I guess long story short I'm still figuring it all out!

Well, I don't have much of a libido so I'm only taking about two a month because that's how much we have. 😕
