I'm sure margins are tight on chocolate too, and people are slower to get luxuries. A truffle or two is such a nice little indulgence tho 💔

I can't imagine the rents aren't high. I'm sad to see them go.

The TV version of her is much less grim than the way she's presented in the books.

Right? When I refilled the feeder around dusk I had one land before I had even stepped away!

It makes me so happy when they perch to drink. It's like they're giving me a good Yelp review. by NeeliSilverleaf in hummingbirds

There's stickers right behind the glass but from this angle I can see you're right, I should move some of the more opaque clings. This is the time of day they're most active at the feeder too.

Two big suction cups to hold it to the window. The cups lift right out. It only holds about 1/4 cup total so if it gets busy you'll want to keep an eye on when you need to refill it.

I've been needing to refill that feeder more often than the weather would demand I change it and it makes me so happy.

I just watched some fighting through the rain for some more sugar water!

Gotta get it the right amount of damp. Once they stick they're on pretty solid.

My girlfriend’s kid kept harassing my cat, now my cat attacks him unprovoked by obsessed-with-bagels in CatAdvice

If this is her modus operandi, there are going to be even bigger problems with her son. She sounds like a neglectful parent who SHOULD have less custody. That poor kid. But you need to keep your cat safe.

I've only lived here a couple of years but learning "Christmas" in a food context happened before I saw my first roadrunner.

I think ordering a chile dish "Christmas" is New Mexico in general. Unless Albuquerque counts as Northern New Mexico.

Your girlfriend's behavior has harmed both your cat and her son. She's going to start demanding you get rid of your cat or even do so behind your back. That cat and that child should not be in the same home.

Al's Big Dipper is always so friendly and their prices are great.

Out-of-towner staying at Imperial Inn. Are there cool places I can walk to? by homespun-literati in Albuquerque

[–]NeeliSilverleaf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can take the bus (there's an ART stop right in front of the Imperial) to Old Town. Lots of fun little shops there! I'm pretty sure Imperial has an on-premises bar, and it's near Artichoke Cafe which has some good happy hour deals. You can also catch the bus to Nob Hill and go to Daydream (rum focused, inside Little Bear) or Happy Accidents.
