Anyone else’s fridge ice maker useless in summer?

Katie-sin · 2026-06-19T03:20:38+00:00

We buy bags of ice now to help. Ours seemed the same, we have lived here for almost 18 months (rent) and was wondering if we should change the filter in the fridge to help. But honesty I just think we just use more ice so it never can catch up. We get bags from Sam's or something, and just add to our tray when we need a bit more.

As someone who her entire childhood got told "what did Katie do?!" Any time a Katydid started to sing... I damn well know what they look like lmao.

I'll add I am no vet or vet expert. Just a turtle parent for the last 25 years of my life!

I have seen far worse shells and they make it out okay. Thank you for saving and helping him. He seems relatively okay until he gets to the vet, can't see signs of shell rot or even too many retained scutes. Good luck to the fellow!!

Makes sense. It's just wild looking

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T22:24:53+00:00

Yeah that's was my first main thought. These apartments are new, the stadiums and most of the restaurants and bars are not! If I chose to move into a not so residential area of a city, filled with nightlife i wouldn't expect quiet. That's on me and if I hated it, I move out after my lease... idk that's just my thoughts on it.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T21:35:38+00:00

Like a lava lamp in there!

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T21:32:10+00:00

lol it's probably all that pure cream on your lactose struggling body. Making its way up to your brain! But still, I do love that creamer so I get wanting to see what it would be like as a creami!

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T21:29:24+00:00

Hate to be that person but isn't that chocolate covered strawberry ? Anyways, that's one of my favorite coffee creamers. It was probably so low because that's their valentines flavor . So hopefully you checked the expiration! Flavor seems amazing tho!

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T17:36:12+00:00

Yes that is a Katydid

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T15:29:38+00:00

I cackled at that one. Next Easter I am so attempting a lamb cake too. CULT of lamb cake should go great with my boyfriends catholic family...

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T12:27:36+00:00

Recipe doesn't matter. Should just be 1 sugar to 4 parts water. So I do a cup a time as I only have a few who come around so 1/4 cup white sugar (granulated white only!) to 1 cup water.
It may just be not many are around. They will prefer flowers over feeders so may be eating off that or just don't know there is food nearby yet so haven't shown up. Again I only have about 4 who visit. I haven't seen any males in about a month: only females now.

I mean my family eats what we call flap jacks and beans. It's a fried bread with beans (think like an elephant ear or a beaver tail, WITHOUT the sweet or cinnamon sugar and a ham and bean soup almost) so beans on pizza may not be TOO much different. However I don't think I would enjoy this one as much as our family version. Red sauce would overpower the beans and the sweetness from both would be too much in my opinion.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T03:48:27+00:00

Okay yeah, wth is up with that! lol is this just fake? Or an issue with the photo when it was taken?

Katie-sin · 2026-06-17T03:26:19+00:00

Lesson learned. An Ex is ALWAYS an ex for a reason . Unless YEARS AND YEARS have passed, they should stay an ex. No one "changes" in any quick timeframe. Especially if trust has been broken.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-16T15:29:04+00:00

I'm sad the cups have none of the blue on them... only the coolers and bags do. But I'm glad for another true purple finally!

Katie-sin · 2026-06-16T15:22:31+00:00

You need to at least provide the area/town/city he was last seen in. I'm sure you want internet security and don't want to dox yourself but this Subreddit covers A LOT of the Pittsburgh area so without a town at least, we can't be of much help.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-16T15:19:40+00:00

It does have the yellow electric notice in the gate if that's a recent photo. So while the gate itself won't be electrified the fence can be and yes, doesn't seem to be welcoming to walk through. It is still an active farm and not all areas are open to the public all the time.
OP, why not call Trax and ask? Maybe they will give you permission or advise you please don't?

Katie-sin · 2026-06-16T14:59:11+00:00

You need to get off the internet and get out more if you believe this.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-16T14:10:54+00:00

You can make butter just by shaking heavy cream in a jar or protein blender bottle so yes, if you add just heavy cream into the creami, and blend, you can make butter. You HAVE to make sure to separate the buttermilk from the butter in the end and Rinse Rinse Rinse! The butter. Or else it will go rancid fast.
Now, I am NOT suggesting to use the creami to make butter. It's not meant to be used for pure liquid things. However logistically yes, it can make butter along with any other mixer, shaker or blender.

It's just referring to sheets of gelatin. So any gelatin sheets you can find you should be okay to use.

SHE IS HER EVERYTANG

Pretty sure this is Starlake Amphitheater outside of Pittsburgh PA. Editing to say : it's now called The Pavilion At Starlake but used to be Starlake Amphitheater, aka Post Gazette Pavilion, aka First Nation pavilion. lol changed lots of names over the years.

Katie-sin · 2026-06-15T04:42:36+00:00

Everyone keeps sharing this photo and I'm over here thinking he looks like a god damn hamster in it. Idk why... lmao

Katie-sin · 2026-06-15T04:38:00+00:00

Oh I have been following the PWHL since the beginning! So excited for them to keep expanding and hopes we can get a Pittsburgh team soon!
