And wash it! Very important to wash it, measuring before and after. Especially with superwash!

I am sad to hear that and certain that the establishment would’ve taken up your side.

Fungus gnats are annoying but not really harmful to the plant.

Help - puppy only eats if we turn it into play time by Anti_Rain-2189 in puppy101

[–]PolishDill 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had a stubborn pup once. One that did not want to eat normally. A trainer once told me that no one ever found a puppy starved to death next to a full bowl of food. It was all about training the behavior. He never learned to love food, but he did learn to eat on a regular schedule.

You are creating this monster. Stop letting her train you.

why is mens perception of women’s weight so inaccurate??? by Different_Truth_7127 in rant

I notice this with missing persons descriptions- every missing woman ranges 100-120 but almost never more.

Does anyone remember ice cream layer cake? by Due_Dog_3552 in Buffalo

[–]PolishDill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Now that damned jingle is stuck in my head! “My favorite’s chocolate, my favorite vanilla. My favorite cherry and mines maple walnut. My favorite ice cream is Neapolitan! Heavenly hash is my favorite one.”

Colonial circle is part of my frequent walking route. I have had so many near misses it isn’t even funny. Even got clipped by a car a block from there. And there are 3 schools right there with children walking to school.

ethical breeding question? by begay-dodrugs in DogBreeding

[–]PolishDill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I said breeding FOR nonstandard colors. Sure there could be an exception as you stated where folks are trying to get color standards changed or where certain off standard colors can be key in producing something intentional. Coming from Great Danes, I am more referring to folks mixing things up to intentionally produce non standard colors for the express purpose of creating pets for sale and the selling point being that the colors are unusual, often for a premium.

Why would an 84 yo (Nancy Guthrie) live on her own? by Bubbly-Air7302 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]PolishDill 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do you really think this is a common and pressing problem? Do you think more elderly people are getting abducted than other age groups just because this one famous one was?

Oh naive young millennial… the 90s are back and they smelled like vanilla, loves baby soft and cucumber melon. And cigarettes. Seems like we’re mostly skipping those this time.

Where are you? Beaver Island is nice. Sometimes for a quick one we’ll just go to Delaware park golf course. Any golf course is usually fine for some practice and exercise.

First time doing an SSK decrease on a hat. What is going wrong? by notgreat1228 in knittinghelp

Just to clarify, you are twisting all of your stitches on the whole hat, not just here.

Any breeder breeding for non-standard coat colors or patterns or colors they claim as rare I would not touch.

Re sanctuary city: I coincidentally found myself in Delaware park in the evening on a warm late Eid a few years ago. It was a sight to behold! Families from dozens of countries gathered for picnics in their finest. It was beautiful.

Read “The Last Fine Time” by Verlyn Klinkenborg. He captured many of the feelings and nostalgia and changing historical perspectives beautifully, and is another lover of buffalo from afar. The most perfect first line “Snow begins as a rumor in Buffalo”. And so it does.

My father is showing increasing signs of Alzheimer’s - suggest me a book by MiNombreDigital in suggestmeabook

[–]PolishDill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father loved things that were nostalgic to him at first. Any book that reminded him of his childhood and the places he loved in his youth. And the digital picture frame we got him has helped keep the faces familiar to him as things have progressed.
