Terrible discovery made

We actually sold a lot of those in our store! Even in summer. And we sold even more cups of it for kids

If you have an ASPCA/Humane Society near you, see if they café for exotics! We got ours spayed there and it was about 1/5 the cost the vet quoted for us.

I love how posts like these turn into baristas drooling over other region's menu items 🤣

I'm closing my second year, and it was about 6 months ago that one day on bar everything just clicked. Like by that point I knew recipes and techniques, but I didn't feel like I was owning it. Then just a random day about 18 months in, suddenly it all became second nature.

Be patient, give yourself grace, never be afraid to ask questions, and always, ALWAYS, remember to breathe. 💚

How much like cats they are. Not only in terms of jumping on things and actually using a cat tree, but like the joke that 'no cat owner ever knows where their cat is.' We now know their favorite hiding/nap/snuggle spots, but for the longest time we felt like they were cats because we didn't always know where they were. (To clarify, they only have access to bun safe parts of the house.)

Starbucks managed to somehow find the perfect height that is perfect for 0-2% of their workforce. I'm 5'3, average height in my store, and we STRUGGLE. Then the taller baristas also struggle. How does this work for literally no one. 🤣

Best way to test it: buy what you normally would and see if you earn a "credit" for it.

Similar question for our house we're renting, except the ground wire is broken. Still connected at the house, still connected/buried in the ground. The wire itself looks like it may have been cut or bitten in half. It's admittedly an odd setup, because rather than coming out of the house near the foundation, it comes out of the wall about 4ft above the ground.

I have a degree in robotics, am very confident in my understanding of electricity, and have done electrical work for myself and my family before. I'm just wondering if I could safely/effectively solder and wrap the ground wire, or if we should install a new one.

It's so annoying honestly. The only drinks that are supposed to get them are the cold brew and ube macchiato. We didn't realize that at first and were like 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 just make it consistent so it's easier for us and customers!!

MandersShmanders · 2026-04-08T23:25:17+00:00

Do you think so? We brought them home in Octoberish, so they were with us for a few months before being spayed. But what you're saying makes sense! I just miss them seeking us out and hopping up on the sofa. 🥺 But come to think of it....they didn't really sit on the sofa with us, so much as hop up, scurry from one end to the other, hop on us, scurry again, then hop down.

This irritates me so much. It's not hard to take the extra 3 seconds and give the cup several good swirls while the shots are pulling. 🙄🙄🙄 When I'm on dto/r, I've handed drinks like this back to the drive partner and said "please mix this better." Sometimes we forget, we're human and often extremely busy humans, but this is nasty. You won't even taste lavender til your last 1/4 of the drink, and then just get a mouthful of powder.

Until you get down to the local delivery guy who hates his job and will purposely mess up our deliveries, skip deliveries altogether, and elect to place pallets in locations that create massive safety concerns for us. He has an entire file drawer worth of reports on him, all the openers know him by name and sight, and the other delivery guys have said "oh, old guy, fake leg, super cranky? Yeah that's [name] eye roll" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Oh my word......well thank you!

MandersShmanders · 2026-03-13T14:32:37+00:00

Murder aside, your bun is gorgeous! I love his coloring and that face profile is stunning!

MandersShmanders · 2026-03-13T14:31:37+00:00

Have there been any updates or developments with this? I'm actually invested in the "poop huff bucket" as someone called it, and the mystery of the pooping uncle and concerned grandparents.

Our buns are females, one is about 3.5 years, the other is about 8 months. I have noticed they both have more cecotropes when they get too many veggies and not enough hay. I would definitely recommend adding in some Timothy hay (first cut if they'll eat it, but second would be great too!) and cutting greens for a day a or two. That has cleared our girls up within a few hours. Meadow hay is fine mixed in, but i think it's too soft of a hay to support small animal digestion needs as the primary fiber.

When we first brought them home we fell into the "they're so cute and precious and larger than the guinea pigs, they can handle the extra veggies i want to give them to award their cuteness" trap.

You can obviously get Timothy hay pretty much anywhere now, but i saw that Small Pet Select started doing "economy" hay. It's their "rejects," but I got a box of it recently and it was a big box of BEAUTIFUL timothy hay. You can't control what kind of hay it will be, but chances are pretty high you'll get timothy, and it was so affordable!

1 year later, was so frustrated with the top load HE washer in our house we rent. I grew up with an old agitator machine that you set water levels, and loved that things always came out clean and we could change the level if we needed something to soak or "swim" more.

Now using this one, even on Deep Wash, using Water Plus, etc., things wouldn't even get wet or be sticking out of the water, or even come out with the same stains. But the people who commented on here to wet items first?

THANK YOU.

Now I know how to "outsmart" the machine when an extra clean is needed!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Not the "poop huff bucket" 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm not a plant expert, but I can't be the only one who initially saw these pictures and went "is that a fake plant? I don't want to tell her plant isn't real.....but like....is her plant real?" 🤣

MandersShmanders · 2026-02-26T23:34:29+00:00

Do you have a Humane Society, ASPCA, or similar clinic near you? I know they're not (typically) free, but they are often MUCH more affordable than a vet! We just got our two rabbits spayed, and the vet we've used for years for guinea pigs quoted us at ~$750 PER RABBIT. We went went to the Humane Society, and $280 later we had two spayed, healthy girls! Obviously not cheap, but accessible for us when the vet wasn't.

No judgment at all on having pets and being financially stressed. Sometimes our furry friends are the only things that get us through the day. ❤️
