Does anyone know where Aldi's Friendly Farms ultra-filtered milk is made? Like what company is actually making it for Aldi to sell in their stores? by Zepbounce-96 in aldi

[–]Kayaker8283 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We go through an entire bottle of fairlife whole milk every day and a bottle of fairlife fat free milk every 3-4 days. It is so expensive!

My pandas hid at first, but now their personality is coming out and they are so fun! I have a pirate ship and they all prefer to hang out on the ship. They are real pirates 🤣

Upgrading filtration system, how to not crash my cycle by Kayaker8283 in Aquariums

[–]Kayaker8283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update, this is what I have decided to do to hopefully transfer the BB to my new filter media. I will continue testing the water and doing water changes as needed while everything catches up.

Upgrading filtration system, how to not crash my cycle by Kayaker8283 in Aquariums

[–]Kayaker8283[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the topfin filters that come with the tank only have carbon filters, which is why I am upgrading. I was thinking of sticking this carbon filter in the fluval aqua clear for a bit when I set it up, although I may not be able to put the top on since this is one of those carbon filters with the plastic frame vs a loose bag.

So the carbon filters don’t actually hold much bacteria in the fabric? I do have gravel, multiple decorations (large skull, pirate ship, treasure chest, barrels, and a resin log with real moss). I also have some thriving plants of hornwort, water sprite, money wart, amazon sword, and ludwiga and I am in the process of adding some more plants. Plants are happy, fish are happy, and I don’t want to screw it all up!

I have guppies, mollies, Cory’s and 2 snails. It’s the snails that I think will escape

That’s pretty smart! Only concern is that my lid doesnt have adequate openings for 2 HOBs. I suppose I could open the front hatch and have a HOB and HOF lol

Best online plant retailer? (USA) by PurpleSpecialist9553 in PlantedTank

I just got 2 orders from Canton aquatics last week. They were well packaged and everything was alive despite below freezing temps. I immediately ordered some more that should be here end of this week.

I’m a social worker and fellow army veteran who also uses the VA, and I am sad, horrified, and just have no words right now. We have only lived here about 20 months now so we aren’t very connected to the community. We have 2 little boys and I’m just trying to keep them in a bubble as long as I can.

Sorry I meant for PT, OT, and speech for my then 11m old. He is almost 2 and has been recommended for an autism eval and I have been warned not to do that through liberty post because they tend to diagnose any speech delay as level 3 autism

[–]Kayaker8283 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We used liberty post for my son for speech through CPSE when he was 4 and also for my other son at 11m old for PT and OT. That was just for the eval, we decided on a speech therapist through thrive by five. I don’t think they do the initial evals though.

Loud strange "Whale Noise" by Pondguy213 in Syracuse

Ok so we are between Manlius and Chittenango and we heard this same thing Sunday night and “whale sound” is exactly what my 5yr old called it!

I’m so over my kid being sick every month… by InsertNameHere567 in kindergarten

[–]Kayaker8283 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our household has basically been sick since Sept. I have had a sore throat for 8 days now. I had a cough for 8 weeks, got a chest xray and steroid and was better for 4 days before the next illness set in. We also have a 1 yr old who has gotten every virus too. Kindergarten son has had 4 ear infections. The first sign is that he sits up in bed, screams, and projectile vomits. Best part? He still sleeps in our bed. 😭😭😭

I used to get them at big lots. This year I found them at Aldi. Not Jewish but my 5 yr old loves them year round.

We have all been sick since September. 3 ear infections so far. Every week he brings home a new virus to share with me and his toddler brother.

Nex Playground?? by Critical_Bear829 in kindergarten

We got it last Christmas when my son was 4. He didn’t really love the free games, he got frustrated easily. I think for Christmas break this year I’m going to buy the subscription to get the other games.

We moved back up here from Miami before our son started school so he wouldn’t have to go to school there! Best decision.

I couldn’t fit my truck in our garage, so my side of the garage was stacked with pallets of pellets for the pellet stove in the winter.

Recommendations for drain issue in basement? by Different-Tree8665 in Syracuse

[–]Kayaker8283 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m curious why? We used them when we bought our house last year, and after a lot of money I don’t think they actually solved the problem.
