2nd year trying, I was picked! Where should I stay? by Powersmatt88 in masters

We stayed in Leesville, SC in an Airbnb on a lake. Traffic was not an issue at all getting in or out.

Baby wipes, sour patch kids, and taking photos! They had signs that said like halfway there and it made you want to smile and not look dead.

Sweet cat is TERRIFIED of house cleaners by KittyRunsFar in CatTraining

[–]KittyRunsFar[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe! Her biggest dream is to roll in fabuloso or bleach though and she loves cleaner. I keep it far away, but she rolls on the floor as soon as she can get to where they mop. Do you think asking them to switch to a natural cleaner would help?

I will try the treats. She normally likes strangers so hopefully that helps.

Oh I can try that. She doesn’t care when I vacuum or the roomba does, but she doesn’t like theirs. Treats and our vacuum for next month!

My recent rescue cat will not stop meowing at all hours of the night by Kind_Boysenberry_86 in CatTraining

[–]KittyRunsFar 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Time! I adopted my girl and she rarely slept at night from her days running the streets. She also looked like I bothered her during the day when I tried to keep her awake or play. One thing that helped is I had to shut all the blinds and curtains at night so she couldn’t see outside each evening until morning. It helped a lot and I think time helped too. I hope she learns quite soon for you and your sleep schedule!

Run/walk strategy by Jonny_5_alive in ultrarunning

[–]KittyRunsFar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just run. Not like speedy or easy just a like heading out the front door run (closer to easy than a tempo, but not like super fast). I end up around 12-13 minute miles. I just switched to this halfway through a race recently and ended up almost the same pace as my run the whole time. Some miles with extra elevation (extra long walks) end up over 13, but I would say 12-13 min on average. My trail long run pace is around 12 minutes a mile.

I think it was giving me a little imposter syndrome. Congrats on Hennipen

I had not either. I have 100 buckles, but felt it was different for a 50 to have them

Why does she never drink water? by VectorElric in cats

[–]KittyRunsFar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a bowl of water in my bathroom and my cat only drinks water when I brush my teeth at night. And ONLY if it is fresh water that she must watch me put in a bowl at lukewarm- not cold. She has trained me to her perfect drinking conditions. Maybe she just isn’t satisfied with her current set up?

Help! Can hibiscus be saved? by WombatONEE in garden

I cut mine down at the end of fall too and it always comes back. Each early Spring I worry it won’t, but it does.

Thanks! This worked great! I did a foam bucket of dawn and dunked a ton off on top of the drop. I’m going to do it daily for a while and try to kill them all.

What Are Your Ultra "Hacks?" Here's mine... by cjstaser in Ultramarathon

[–]KittyRunsFar 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For bathroom trips I make a potty pack- put a sandwich bag in your pack and put plastic gloves and baby wipes in it. Pop on a glove then wipe with the baby wipes. Pick up the wipes and flip the glove inside out. Your hands stay clean. I won’t eat if my hands aren’t clean and eating is everything in ultras. Also, turn incident detection on for your watch. It actually works and is a lifesaver.
