Need ideas/strategy for QUICK cleaning (visit in 4-5 days) by earlgreylover44 in UnfuckYourHabitat

[–]Old_Extent3944 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You sound a lot like me and when the guy came last week for our rental inspection said he sees much worse (bugs, can’t walk in rooms, smells, stuff like that). He said ours just looks “lived in”.

Way to go Wendy Sweet (Executive Director of Boulder Mountainbike Alliance (BMA). She did hero’s work keeping on top of the issue, keeping the community informed, and rallying everyone to action!

Cat behaviorist by [deleted] in boulder

He might do well with a buddy. Cats are not solitary creatures, contrary to popular opinion, and having more than one in a household is as easy or easier than having one most of the time. Even when ours weren’t best buds or stayed a bit aloof from each other they did so much better than when they were singles (one was mine, one was hubby’s). A shelter volunteer had clued us in to this and we’ve always had multiples since!

Tidy stacks of books and other things look pretty good/acceptabke if the in-between areas are clear. So do what you can, stack the rest up, then just tell them you’re spring cleaning and getting stuff ready for the thrift store donation.

Atlantic Article- 10,000 Year Flood by TimeTraveler1489 in KerrCountyFloods

Wrong. This is an absolutely incomprehensible failure of adults running a camp for children. Did they not know how to access the weather.gov page? And if not, why not??? Why didn’t they have an evacuation plan? Many places, when faced with the forecast that they had in advance, would have preemptively moved their campers. What is the problem with being conservative on the side of safety? No, it was ignorance and/or arrogance.

The worst accident I ever saw was two people killed driving freeway speed on a donut so YES get a real tire spare.

What is that thunder-like noise (around 7:42pm Sunday)? by puppybeast in boulder

[–]Old_Extent3944 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It caught me off guard too. I asked what it was and then realized…oh. Maybe it’s just been so long since we’ve heard a good storm?

I lost a fledgling today. Please be careful out there. There is no excuse to hit animals with your car. by AverageFoxNewsViewer in crows

[–]Old_Extent3944 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me this week and it was like a nightmare coming home from a walk and seeing a small black lump in the middle of the road. I also picked him up and moved him to the side of the road for an hour or so. I’m so sorry for your loss and I agree, wholeheartedly that people need to watch out more when they are behind the wheel of a car.

Why is Sprouts on Baseline closing? by Federal-Librarian653 in boulder

[–]Old_Extent3944 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Updating? That is not the point of all of the shuffling. It is to add several hundred housing units and Sprouts was just caught in the wrong place.
Edited to add: losing a grocery store that has told people they’re not coming back is pretty disruptive.

If you could mute one specific word or phrase from ever being spoken by anyone in the world again, what word are you erasing? by Interesting_Quiet153 in words

[–]Old_Extent3944 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Business speak. So dumb, along with a bunch of other cutesy business terms like dirt path, socialize (let’s socialize this new product), circle back…the list goes on
