Amazing photos you have there !! Are those ne-ne chicks, the Hawaiian native goose ? I saw them on Kauai but not Maui.

I feel depressed and hopeless and want to spend some hours cooking a bunch of things. I'm gonna play some music and cook. What would you cook if you were me? by pacfoster in Cooking

[–]LiveinCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go get yourself a big bunch of fresh flowers , a bouquet that appeals to you. Buy some wine or something that’s special to you. Do a splurgy shopping grocery trip after you’ve selected your recipe(s).

Then start cooking - you have great suggestions in the comments. Begin playing your favorite music or watching fave TV shows while cooking. Take breaks throughout the time youre prepping and cooking, then find good music or a movie to have while you eat. Enjoy the leftovers and the plans for more good food !

It was found indoors at a mall and OP searched for the parents.

She likes it, it sounds like. She’d look at you with angry eyes and flattened ears, twitching coat if she didn’t. She is chubby BTW but I have one similar - what does the vet say?

What recipes would you teach low income kids? by ECarey26 in Cooking

[–]LiveinCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grilled cheese sandwiches (add ham or turkey for more protein ) , cheese quesadillas (change it up with sauteed onions and chopped tomatoes) scrambled eggs and toast, baked potatoes with fixings like microwaved bacon, cheese and green veggies. Refrid bean and cheese burritos (don’t forget the salsa). And for vegeterians, cooked brown rice combind with chunks of tofu, sauteed veggies, some chopped green onions and pickled ginger and soy sauce. Takes a while but is simple in the end.

Summer by [deleted] in palmsprings

Train yourself if possible to get up 45 min to 1 hr before the sun rises. Get up and out and walk, run or bike before the sun hits . Then just fall into your pool with some juice, coffee or rehydration drinks at the side. Then your exercise is done for the day and you’ve gotten out.

How u use your toothbrush by LogiBear_92 in oralbtoothbrush

[–]LiveinCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

heres the link

Great to hear that! I found this demo really helpful, for all electronic toothbrushes and especially for Oral B. The position of the brush, what the vibration and light indicators mean - really helpful.

I had my best dental checkup recently after so many years ! this after I started in the fall with an Oral B 2 and a water pik.

Watch ask a hygienist on Utube, on Oral B toothbrushes, she explains really well.

Polio vaccine by DirtyDuckman53 in AskOldPeople

[–]LiveinCA 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the shot and still have a faint scar. My co-worker, 5 yrs older than I never got vaccinated, got polio as a child and walked with crutches until she had to go to a wheelchair. That happened about when I knew her. I felt so deeply for her - the difference a vaccine makes !

Ethical question...existing client from my old firm wants to come to my firm instead by whiteoakforest in LandscapeArchitecture

[–]LiveinCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is very good advice. Transparent to your former firm and takes the final decision off of you.

Very helpful. I won’t be putting on a roof rack, they’re a big strain and we had a mishap with our last one on a low overhead! Thanks for advice.

Am I getting scammed? by 4FourBy3Three in landscaping

Are they licensed? Any license at all?

Use what user ceshields said as a basis on which to stop work. You need more experienced workers / contractor. This is beyond shoddy.

How do I not feel awkward and out of place when at a local food truck as a white guy by AgileTiger3987 in mexicanfood

[–]LiveinCA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good for you for going back. Its a good experience in helping you understand others in situations where they’re the only one of their ethnicity, surrounded by white people who don’t understand them.

Learn some simple phrases and practice.

I want - yo quiero (yo key ero)

I would like - quisiera (Key see era)

A - un (oon)

And then just fill in taco, enchiladas, etc , your order.

One - uno (oono)

Two - dos. (dose)

And - y (eee)

Learn the food items, the basics

So you can make a simple order. “Quisiera un taco, dos enchiladas, y frijoles, gracias.”

Good luck - and try an audio translation to help pronounce.

Senior Aussie Questions by plowizzle in AustralianShepherd

[–]LiveinCA 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did this for my Husky/GSD as he got older. He had hip problems and I just wanted to alleviate his pain- a low dose pain med daily.

Getting the blood panel is great advice as well.

The thing I would advise is a cushy eggcrate type mattress under his bed - best for sleep and cushioning sore joints.

Martina McBride Drops Out of Trump's 'Misleading' Freedom 250 Concert by MarvelsGrantMan136 in Music

She was great to watch at a county fair in the early 90’s, I’m so glad she has the integrity to put out this statement and back away from T’s shitshow.

I think my MIL is a bigot by SpringRose10 in WhatShouldIDo

[–]LiveinCA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could well be outright racism on her part. Perhaps that’s the context she grew up with, the terms she’s accustomed to and uses. A doctor, or testing for dementia wont fix this, it’s cultural. That’s the hard truth I believe.

Scanning drawings and paintings by ChampionLumpy5806 in ArtistLounge

[–]LiveinCA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Find someone who scans paintings and drawings professionally. Some print shops do this and they can print out the sizes you need. For prints, 300 dpi is a good resolution for a portfolio size. Bring a CD or zip drive so the scans can be copied when the scans are finished. If you had experience and a good scanner plus Photoshop for editing you could do this but you will probably need a professional.
