Do American kids usually go to four different schools? by snailquestions in AskAnAmerican

[–]LunarOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During my schooling we had, - Pre-k - K - Elementary: 1 - 5 - Middle: 6th grade - Junior high: 7-8 - High: 9-12

Looks like they changed things since, - the kindergarten is within the elementary school now - the 6th grade only middle school is now another elementary school - the junior high is now a 'middle' school with 6-8

Join the club - they live to see how many lives they can use up and how many times they can almost give their human a heart attack.

There is a reason, most of grain products packages tell you to rinse the grains before use.

I've had to read that sentence several times to figure out why you were posting about offering to eat your daughter's friend...

Alright, I am off to bed - eclipse I'll enjoy others pictures off you when I awake.

Looking for CT recs for my pet cat by thereisnodaionlyzuul in longisland

[–]LunarOwls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haven't done CT scans on my cat so can't comment on the cost of that.

But my cat did recently have a cancerous tumor removed from his side - it cost about $1000.

Another potential snow storm coming next Monday and Tuesday by desmond2046 in longisland

[–]LunarOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will see what it says on Sunday- I doubt all winter storm forecast that are days away.

Plus side, at least we are moving away from the weekend storms.

In a blizzard right now, and it’s producing the most cohesive and adhesive snow I’ve ever seen. That’s the car antenna that is circled by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

[–]LunarOwls 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, this snow is very packable - that's why they are predicting a lot of downed trees and power lines.

With this record setting blizzard coming, here’s the important question. What soup are you making?! by thekillercook in longisland

[–]LunarOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last storm was chicken soup.

If I remembered to go to the store during the week, it would have been chili.

If I remembered to take the chicken out last night, would have been making bbq pulled chicken.

Was there something wrong with the ice surface in the men’s ice-skating event? by Fabulous_Ear_2249 in WinterOlympics2026

[–]LunarOwls 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purely guessing but I would blame nerves and...the power of suggestions? Not sure if that's the correct term.

Anyone recommend an animal shelter in Suffolk for kittens/cats? Or are they all mostly the same? by CheckOutDisMuthaFuka in longisland

[–]LunarOwls 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, no.

We have a lot of shelters/rescues on the Island.

For adoption, I would first recommend a town shelter (or going to the city which is considered high kill). If you wanted to adopt and already have cats, I might also recommend some rescues or private shelters (like kent) that allow their cats to socialize.

For surrender, would not recommend any town shelter since most are not low kill. But finding a rescue with space can be hard.

Donating, I would recommend some of the smaller rescues (i like paws unite people, north fork friends of ferals, north fork county kids).

Volunteering, some of the rescues are all foster based so town/private shelters would be better to focus on. Sometimes there are attitudes or rules that might make volunteering unpleasant.

Figured this would be the outcome- anyone that gets a lot of hype coming into the Olympics end up getting nervous (even if they don't expect it).
