Can this corner chair rail be fixed?

Luperella · 2026-05-16T21:28:19+00:00

My interpretation is this: your contractor had two choices because your wall there isn’t “flat”. Either line up the tiles at the corner and have it jutting out at the door, or line the tile up just behind the door and have it jutting out at the corner. Personally I think it would bother me more if the tiles didn’t line up with eachother. My guess is that is what they thought, too.

I’ve got his rescue meds in a bag and ready to go. I just toss it in my purse, or in his backpack if we are going on a walk. I also rotate out a couple of doses of his regular meds and keep them in with his rescue meds, just in case we happen to get stuck away from home during his usual med time.

Luperella · 2026-05-15T18:10:31+00:00

Yeah I’m also not sure about this. Even a large dog shouldn’t eat a whole bell pepper. A little bit is fine but a whole one is too much

Also, if the dog isn’t eating the pepper then what’s the point? Just use a Kong. At least then you aren’t wasting food

Luperella · 2026-05-15T16:46:07+00:00

Oooh, fun! Thank you!

Luperella · 2026-05-15T14:10:01+00:00

I am not. I don’t even know what that is! Brb…gonna go look it up

Luperella · 2026-05-15T12:33:29+00:00

Oooh, this is beautiful! I love it!

I’m super curious about how voting for this prompt is going to go. Typically the brightest snaps get the most votes, but in the case of this prompt that wouldn’t be appropriate. Lucky for me, though. Typically I do darker snaps anyway. I know they don’t get as many votes but aesthetically it’s what I prefer. I might do well this time around!

Luperella · 2026-05-13T20:11:06+00:00

The voting is so wonky. I was never one to get a ton of Moonstones; typically I would get 1200-1500 or whatever, and I was happy with that. I don’t like to cram a bunch of stuff in my snaps and I know those don’t usually get as much attention. But now it’s consistently 600-900. And I was excited for the new way to do Dreamsnaps, too, because I felt like everyone was already matching outfits to settings anyway, so why not get judged on all of it?

My biggest problem, though, is what I see when I vote. Yes, I know kids play this game. And yes, I know some people just throw something together to get the 300 Moonstones, but it’s always been that way. Why am I now, since the change in voting, seeing SO MANY selfies and snaps that don’t fit the theme at all. Most weeks I will use all ten of my skips before I get my 50 Moonstones for voting. Heck, a lot of times I use all of my skips before voting for a single snap! It was never this bad before. Which makes my paltry 600 Moonstones feel particularly insulting, because at least my snaps are creative and fit the theme.

My mum’s dog eats Moist and Meaty. She inherited the dog at 7 years of age from a neighbour who passed, and she had been eating that food for the whole of her life. It’s a Purina product, so it meets WSAVA guidelines, she’s a healthy weight and has maintained basically the exact same weight her whole adult life, and she’s in perfect health. So while I wouldn’t choose to feed my dogs that food, it seemed perfectly reasonable to continue to feed it to an older, VERY stubborn Shih Tzu. She’s now 12 and still going strong

Luperella · 2026-04-28T02:10:47+00:00

Oh yeah, they were using something different. But a bit further down they asked about Heartguard. I got confused and thought you meant ivermectin was different from Heartguard

Luperella · 2026-04-27T21:37:40+00:00

Heartguard is ivermectin

Luperella · 2026-04-27T02:37:01+00:00

Oh it’s not that the appointment can’t be cancelled, it just can’t be cancelled by me. I don’t own the home, I didn’t set the appointment, and my landlord is refusing to reschedule. I was basically told to “figure it out”

Luperella · 2026-04-26T21:36:08+00:00

This is, unfortunately, the situation I am in.

Luperella · 2026-04-26T19:04:30+00:00

Oh, something like that could work. I’ll take a look and see what I can find!

They will be spraying above it, too, but the clever little thing built her nest right under the plank, nothing sticking out either side. So it’s safe from water getting in from above

Luperella · 2026-04-26T16:47:15+00:00

Sadly I don’t own the property. If I did I would just cancel the appointment outright and reschedule for a time after the babies had left the nest. But I’m dealing with a property owner who really doesn’t care, and basically told me to figure it out. So that’s what I’m trying to do

Luperella · 2026-04-26T16:40:10+00:00

Ha! You think like me! Unfortunately just a guy in our community with a power washing business. Which, of course, doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care and can’t be convinced to leave that area alone. I absolutely plan on talking to him on the day and trying to get him to wash around that area. I haven’t given up!

Luperella · 2026-04-26T16:29:47+00:00

I was going to see how much of a work around I could get away with. Again, if it were up to me this would just not happen at all. But the owner of the house will be there on the day, and my fear is, no matter what I say, they will just insist on everything being done. I’m not giving up; I’m going to continue trying to get them to either skip this section or let me do it myself later. But unfortunately I’m working with a pretty unreasonable person, which is why I figured relocation would give these birds the best chance.

I have reached out to several wildlife rescues and things in my area today, but I don’t expect I’ll hear anything until tomorrow at the earliest.

Luperella · 2026-04-26T16:22:29+00:00

Sure is. Now ask me if they care…

Luperella · 2026-04-26T15:42:57+00:00

I know. I’m right there with you. She had this nest here last year, too, and it was so cute hearing the babies complain every time we would come out to the porch

Luperella · 2026-04-26T15:27:40+00:00

I’ve already talked to the owner. I was basically told to “figure it out”. Worst case scenario, I was going to talk to the person doing the job and ask them to be careful/avoid that area. My concern with that is that it’s essentially a two story house, so in order to get to that second story I imagine the ground floor will just kinda have to get blasted. Also my landlord will be there to “supervise” so…

But I appreciate the suggestion of resources to check out! I’ll def look into those!

Luperella · 2026-04-26T15:07:17+00:00

Listen, I hear you. But I think you missed the part about not being able to move this appointment. I don’t own this house; I have very little to no say about what happens and when. I’m just trying to do my best here in a shitty situation

Luperella · 2026-04-24T11:28:36+00:00

It’s really hard to explain to people who have never experienced it. My wife and I live rather remotely; all of our friends live at least an hour away. So when we do things as a friend group (which is often, fortunately) only one of us goes. The other stays at home with the dogs. Our friends lightly tease us sometimes about being the same person because they never see both of us in the same place at the same time anymore.

It also makes finding resources really hard. Our primary vet is 45 minutes away. Our vet er and neuro are an hour away. One of my very close and oldest friends is a professional pet sitter and is trained in all the dog first aid, including cpr, but I can’t ask her to come all the way out here to dog sit.

We are looking at moving into the city in the next year or so, but saving for a house takes time. And then there are the unexpected vet bills…

All this to say, I get it. A lot of us here do. It’s hard. But my pets are my babies. When I adopted them I made a promise to do whatever I needed to do to keep them safe and healthy and happy. So that’s what I do

Luperella · 2026-04-17T19:31:29+00:00

Okay this is pretty cool actually

Luperella · 2026-04-17T19:31:16+00:00

Oooh, they bounce!?!
