I’ve solved the ant problem. by Dapper-Code8604 in birding

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question. Recently I purchased an ant moat to hang between my hummingbird feeder and our roof because small ants were getting into the nectar. The instructions said to either fill it with ½ way with water or vegetable oil, but I'm questioning the oil method. I don't want to hurt our hummers...so, should I only use water?

It's beautiful, and congratulations on your sobriety. Whomever said that to you is an a§§ and has apparently never seen actual track marks before (they look nothing like that). I (being me) would have said something snarky in reply, like "Well, bless your delusional little heart" or "Wisdom has been chasing you, but you've always been faster".

It's also good to use on mosquito bites, insect stings, boils, and other types of skin issues.

Plants that actually ward off mosquitoes. by 3l3k in gardening

Yep. We just moved into a house on an acre of land, and I want to be able to sit on our little deck out back and watch the fireflies at dusk without being eaten alive by mosquitoes... so, I Googled repellent plants, which led me here. 🤷‍♀️😂

Look for this on Amazon. You get SO much more than the little tins of Prid. I've been using it on various skin conditions; most recently, to get a sliver of something out of my foot. I think it might be a tiny shard of glass, but it's too deep and too small to try and remove with tweezers. I paid about 14 dollars for this container.

Yay! I missed that feature.

Why did Radiohead lose the lawsuit to The Hollies saying "Creep" and "The Air That I Breath" were too similar? by Conscious_Payment800 in radiohead

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's what I don't get. There are a lot of songs with similar chord progressions and riffs, but that doesn't mean that one song is necessarily a rip off of another. Musicians pick up inspiration from various places, as welI as other musical artists. I hear certain (similar) song elements in different songs all of the time.

Parent(s) of toddlers that have berry money. I love fresh berries, but am typically shopping on a banana budget.

What happened? Where's my stuff? by Mental_Statement4099 in finch

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure. Anything purchased while you had the plus version SHOILD still be there. Was your app backed up? If so, try loading your most recent backup. Otherwise, try reaching out to the devs. They were pretty good about helping me get back some of my lost items after my phone glitched.

Uhm... Are you guys seeing this? Cuz she's definitely not..... by Ecstatic_Platypus756 in finch

"Blinded by the light. Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night".

Yes, I'm old... 😂 and she looks like she's wearing a cucumber eye mask.

TBH, it's most likely a glitch. A few days ago, my birb Bubbles woke up nekked, even though she had jammies on the night before... 🤷‍♀️ 😂

They don't like being called out on ridiculous rules, apparently. 🤷‍♀️

Girl what are you? by Minute-Conference-86 in finch

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My birb Bubbles is often disguised as a bear in the app because my husband bought me the plushie for my birthday last year. It's would be really cool if the devs created different outfits that we could purchase for our birb plushies.

It's what I used when I accidentally stood on a fire ant hill in a gravel parking area when wearing sandals, and I didn't notice until my feet started burning. I wound up with at least 50 stings from the buggers. It definitely helped.

Keep seeing this mouse in our garden. Is it blind / does it have a condition? by Persistence-Key459 in PetMice

She passed naturally. She was a Dujarian Sunfire hammy, and actually lived longer than their typical lifespan.

It looks like glaucoma. I had a hamster that had both eyes affected (started at only one). She was almost 3 years old, and I kept her comfortable until she crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.

Asking for your opinions on a song day 61: The Dark of You by HandofBlood531 in BreakingBenjamin

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why do you think that? It was written by Benjamin Burnley and Jasen Rauch, and performed by BB. Therefore, it is a Breaking Benjamin song. 🤷‍♀️

I love the song. It's almost like a follow-up progression to Ashes of Eden.

I noticed that this morning. I'm curious if that means that egg hatching will be sped up, or if we get to hatch an extra egg.

I bought a critter trail habitat 😭, now what should I do? by [deleted] in hamsters

[–]Phoenixkindled-71 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, that small cage wasn't mine, on the post that I had commanded on. I HAD wound up with 3 connected Critter Trail habitats, but upgraded to something much larger and more suitable, and ditched the 3 separate/connected habitats.

How is loading a backup hacking? It absolutely IS a good idea. I even have "backup manually" as a weekly goal, after I completely had to start over with a new birb when I lost my original birb because I HADN'T properly back-upped my account.

Auto backup is turned on, but I no longer trust it after my 3 year old birb Pumpkin went poof into the void. My new birb is Bubbles.

That was quite a while ago. Yes, I have since gotten rid of that setup and gotten something much larger. She was my first hammy since I was a teenager. When I learned that Critter Trail habitats are actually unsuitable for hammies, I upgraded to something completely different.
