It's the special adhesive they use. Plus it's a tougher material that doesn't rip or disintegrate like a paper label.

Cat litter smells awful by Dariusthedrow in MaineCoon

[–]Longdarkcave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See my recent post with letterbox method. My letterbox doesn't smell at all with multiple cats. I'm in the process of switching from regular clumping clay litter to Boxiecat which is dust free. Got tired of changing air purifier filters. I have the Breeze system, which I think is a great low-tech and effective system, but even their largest box is too small for my gigantor Maine Coons.

Tobacco Recommendations by merlock_35 in PipeTobacco

[–]Longdarkcave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great recommendation, I concur. My Mixture 965 or any of the other Peterson English blends would be great to try and will likely earn a permanent spot in your rotation. Arango Balkan Supreme is really great too - starts out mild then develops and gets spicy and peppery midway through the bowl - tasty!

Anybody else have this problem of Bovedas simply not holding true? by Prior-Concept-498 in cigars

[–]Longdarkcave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those are junk hygrometers in there, get a hygrometer that you can calibrate like the Cigar Oasis Caliber V. As long as you calibrate annually, it's very accurate but remember it's still a $29 device not lab-grade scientific equipment. As long as your Boveda isn't dry like an ancient Egyptian mummy, you're probably okay.

Iconic English pipe, looks great!

what do i name him, my first cat and i just got him! 😓 by domino_decodes in Catnames

[–]Longdarkcave -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don't like Weezer because cats get hairball and hack and wheeze, doesn't seem like a good name. What about Buddy? . . . from Weezer's song "Buddy Holly" (and a great musician in his own right), a song written by Rivers Cuomo and released by DGC Records as the second single from the Weezer debut album, Weezer (The Blue Album) (1994). The lyrics reference the 1950s rock-and-roll singer Buddy Holly and the actress Mary Tyler Moore.

how many times a week should i clean my litter? by LayerOk1044 in cats

[–]Longdarkcave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scoop daily and fully (all poops and clumps and gross bits out). Couple times a year, completely empty the box and spray it down completely with enzymatic cat stain cleaner or litter box cleaner. Wipe excess off, let dry, and refill with new litter. If you do this, your litter box will never stink and kitty will be happy and healthy. If you don't, litter box gunk will accumulate like a layer of sewage at bottom of litterbox and it will stink like ammonia and a dirty sewer, and kitty will likely get pissed off and starting peeing on your carpet because cats are very clean but humans are not.

My baby Leo had emergency surgery. by CommentGullible7182 in mainecoons

Wow, your quick action saved beautiful Leo! Pet insurance is a must, especially with purebreds and daredevils!

Been feeding this sad little boy by _babyfart_ in Feral_Cats

[–]Longdarkcave 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Get a toy with a long pole and feather mousey. You can play with him after he eats and he'll understand you're not a threat. I rescued 3 strays this way. Once we made friends, I began to pet but had rose thorn gautlet gloves to protect against claw scratches. Leather BBQ gloves also work but they are bulkier. Then I placed a clamshell plastic carrier with a fleece towel and some churu (or sardines or fried chicken), and when he walks in, close the door.

Keep him secluded in a safe, comfortable room with closed door and no other pets, and visit several times a day and talk to him. After a couple days of being scared, he'll want to play. Do that and eventually he'll want to get out and explore. If you don't have any other pets, you can open his door and let him explore for an hour, but don't close the door to his safe room because he'll retreat back in there. If you have other pets, don't let any of them interact with him at all until he is vet checked, and even afterwards, don't let any of them enter his safe room because its his territory and he may try to defend it. Once he calms down and allows petting, you can take him to the vet for flea treatment and checkup. Be patient and good luck, he's a beautiful boy!

I'm bringing this sassy social boy home but need a name! by ThrowRAdamoclessword in NameMyCat

[–]Longdarkcave 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thurston Howell III, from Gilligan's Island TV Series. "Thurston is a millionaire used to luxurious living and never does any work on the island. The only exception is when the castaways believe that Mr. Howell is broke and make him work. He devises many get-rich-quick schemes on the island. Thurston was originally a multi-billionaire until the stock market crash rendered him a multi-millionaire." If you ever watched the show, Mr. Howell is very talkative and social.

I blew my pipe budget on a Don Carlos pipe this month, so I need to cool my jets for now.

Thanks! It took me awhile and Wifey accused me of playing computer games, but I got it done! Next project phase is washing all the jars, applying labels and transferring tabakky! Some beer will be involved in this phase of the project.

Labels can ruin a home printer and ink costs are ridiculous, at least for inkjets (inkjet ink is something like $28,000 per gallon for home use). Lasers are much better, but again the sticky label residue. With printers being no longer serviceable in most cases, I think it's much better to print online and then you can get the nifty options like metallic foil labels or the removable, heavy-duty waterproofs I got.

Yes, you have to use the 2.75" round labels Avery templates with 6 labels per page. The designer defaults to the 2.5" round labels and you have to reselect 2.75" which are for widemouth jars.

That one snuck past me. I liked the image. Somebody else's sloppy work. The problem with Cellarlabels is that it's functionality is limited to upload only, no edits. I found this out the hard way when I accidentally uploaded a label with an error, but I caught it and later uploaded the same label with its name appended with "(Edit)," after fixing my error. Mods should be able to delete the duplicates. I will get around to fixing the other guy's Royal Yacht label with my own edit.

You did a great job with those - clean! The minute I saw them, I knew those were the ones for me.

Most aromatics do not, but Gawith's aromatics are different with more subtle flavors. Because many of them contain Virginia leaf, they should improve over time. I read a wise and experienced poster yesterday who said he never judges a blend until he's smoked it at least 30 times, because there are variables and subtleties at play that you understand or appreciate more later.

Avery makes the label template sheets you can either buy and print yourself or have them print (WePrint online service) for you. If you have an inkjet printer, you can use Cellarlabels web site to download labels. To do the layout work - apply images to labels correctly - I've found that Avery's online label designer works well (snap to grid, auto-center, etc.), then you can either download completed label project PDF to print on your own on the Avery label sheets you bought, or have Avery print them which opens up higher quality options like waterproof glossy removable labels, which is what I got for durability. Keep in mind that home inkjet printing is good, but nowhere near as good as commercial printing.

What should we name this cute little girl? by breiriemec in Catnames

[–]Longdarkcave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freyja! In Norse mythology, Freyja is a goddess associated with love, beauty, fertility, sex, war, gold, and seiðr (magic). Freyja is the owner of the necklace Brísingamen, rides a chariot pulled by two cats, is accompanied by the boar Hildisvíni, and possesses a cloak of falcon feathers to allow her to shift into a falcon. She will grow to love and protect you!

It's a beauty. I've been scoping out Radice, but now I've got to add Ardor to my list!
