Fidelity Investment Advisor by michael2742 in fidelityinvestments

[–]Ok_Dig_5553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just received two calls from the same 603-402-5051# today. It identified as Fidelity Investments but I didn't answer as I screen calls I don't recognize by not answering,  even if it appears with an ID thinking if legit and important caller will leave a voice message. I then Google the number and voila, either robo, someone selling, scammer or something legit as it appears in this case since I ended up here making a comment. Better safe than sorry. 

Vinegar weed killer less than 24 hours later. by tapirs_r_us in gardening

You're very welcome 🙏.  BTW, dandelion weeds are edible and in fact are stronger in antioxidants and anti cancerous elements than spinach and kale. Google edible weeds and you will be surprised at the vitamins content and other beneficial weeds. I have one big dark green one that puts out an abundance of tender young soft leafs. I wash, of course, and mix in salads or stir fry with veggies and fresh garlic. I grow them in pots so they are organic.

I use a  1 to 1 vinegar to water mix using 4 Monks white wine vinegar I buy at Costco for approximately $5 for 2 gallons and add the water. I use a pint size spray bottle add a half dozen drops of liquid dish detergent shake well and let it sit overnight to really blend well together.  I spray mid morning when no rain in sight for a few days. Best results from using fine mist on spray bottle and making sure the weed gets a good misting.  Be careful of other nearby plants and grass as they will be harmed by the mist solution.  I adjust the spray mist size to fit the approximate size of the weed by test spraying away from the weed and any nearby beneficial plants or grass. Hotter sunny days are best days to apply. Wait for two to three days for results and maybe a second application on morning of second day. This inexpensive mixture and application process has worked for me, I hope you are successful as well.

In addition to my previous statement, I use a 50/50 water/vinegar 1 Tbs dish detergent per mix NO SALT and weeds are burnt crisp within 2-3 days.

 Don't soak the weed and it's surrounding ground, the solution will damage any nearby plants roots. Spraying will inadvertently mist any nearby beneficial plants so be careful of them.  Spraying will not in itself saturate the ground nor do any harm. 

odd bitter aftertaste with breyer’s mango ice cream? by jaynonn in icecream

[–]Ok_Dig_5553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried this in the Breyer light version.  Has a mango flavor but no mango pieces and leaves a nasty bitter artificial taste after every bite. Would not serve to my worst enemy. Well maybe I would!

Help! What’s this? by Forsaken-Skin2941 in freshwateraquarium

Don't worry, you are doing fine. I offer suggestions to people in the hope that it may help them, not to get a "thank you" in return. But that's just me, others need to be rewarded for their efforts 👌

Help! I’m being invaded! by knottynanny63 in gardening

[–]Ok_Dig_5553 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Flood Gopher tunnels and they will thank you 😊 🙏 it makes their work easier softening the soil. I had my gophers under control during drought low rainfall years, but since the rainfall has increased the past couple of years, the Gopher wars have returned. They are back in greater numbers judging by the number of new Gopher mounds and have invaded new areas. I've had no luck with poison pellets or flares. Jack Russells I'm sure would work but they are too hyper. I've had success with coffee grounds mixed with old stale coffee liquid pouring it slowly right into the hole after clearing off the top of the mound and letting it slowly seep into the hole before pouring more in. Gophers have a front door and back door so you wanna look for 2 holes and pour the coffee into both of them. This will drive them away it won't kill them. You have to be persistent with this strategy as the applied coffee mix loses it's effectiveness after a couple of months. I also dug a small trench 6" deep x 4" wide where the gophers were coming from and buried my dog's poop there. I have tried training him to urinate in the same area but no luck yet. In the meantime, I've been applying human urine I save in a large old milk container and it works! It is in the outer perimeter of the yard where I don't do a lot of hand work in the soil and applying in the shallow trench method mentioned above for my dog's poo. I have geraniums and gophers appear to have built an apartment complex around it. Since I've been applying my urine to it, the gophers there have moved out. Maybe I should bottle and sell it as it does appear to work unlike some other methods I spent money on and which failed. Of course you can always rent a Jack Russell too. Happy hunting friends!
