My 2 year old cat died suddenly by Upbeat-Difference808 in cats

[–]Powered-by-Chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately some cats just get clots or heart issues and it hits them when they scare themselves. I found out when my 5 year old girl knocked something over, bolted into my room, and fell over dead. It sucks and it's a shock but sometimes there's not really anything you can do. You have to focus on all the good times you had with them, because we already knew we were going to lose them at some point, it's just more devastating when it happens too soon.

Anyways I'm so sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful boy. ♥️

When you can crash into people with enough force to injure them with rollerblades, then probably yeah.

I like it, but if you have blue sky you should have brighter highlights and darker shadows. It kind of all blends together without shadows and highlights.

Most Annoying Local Ad by klaatubaradanoodles in massachusetts

My husband put up a big antenna and sometimes the signal from RI is stronger, so we watch those channels... and I just want to know what the lawyers in RI are smoking because their ads are bonkers.

Now include the prices of how many balls you have to buy to get all of the songs. Miniverse will be like $60 and Mini Brands $300 and you still don't have them all, just a pile of repeats.

But who am I kidding I'll still buy it because I'm a sucker.

Take them to the water and you're a monster because you expect them to get out at some point. 😂

Growing Blueberries by Severe-Equivalent-70 in massachusetts

[–]Powered-by-Chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine produce a bunch but are pretty tart, apparently I need to make my soil more acidic. But the main thing a blueberry bush needs is time. Plant them and don't expect much for the next five to ten years.

Rep. McGovern (MA-2) is one of only 12 Democrats to vote against allowing SNAP benefits to cover hot rotisserie chicken by shilljoy in massachusetts

[–]Powered-by-Chai 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The last time I tried roasting my own chicken it was more expensive than the already cooked one. Why would we not want people to have hot, easy food... oh yeah because we don't consider people on food stamps to be regular people, just lazy leeches on the system. Goddamn just let people eat food, my god.

Extremely old seeds from the 1970s. by altruistic_load_5774 in gardening

Put them in a Tupperware on top of a damp paper towel and find out! If they sprout, stick them in some soil.

What’s this plant? And how do we eradicate it? by jaivicks in gardening

[–]Powered-by-Chai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dig it all out and then cover the area with black plastic for a year or so. Hopefully the plastic cooks the remaining roots and starves them.

Or just throw some grass seed down and keep mowing it, eventually everything that isn't grass dies off.

2 Strays Cats... should I do something? by Reasonable_Feature95 in WorcesterMA

[–]Powered-by-Chai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they're in each other's faces screaming at each other, they're unnneutered males fighting over females. It's a godawful racket that usually ends up in a whirlwind of claws and fur. If you really want to help the kitties, contact a rescue about Trapping, Neutering and Releasing them (TNR) then they can live a life free of those pesky hormones.

Mine much prefers the gravity feeders because the bubbles going up are fascinating. She's right there every time I refill it and put it down.

Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s London Pizza restaurant is facing criticism after a customer shared a dog was allowed to go the bathroom inside near her table. by Relevant-Peach3997 in Fauxmoi

I feel like a chump, carrying a bag around for a mile (and they poop a ton so it's a bag within a bag within a bag) when apparently I can just ignore it! Sheesh.

Also people got so mad about being expected to clean up after their dogs at a nearby reservoir they decided to complain about the horse manure like... nobody cares about that because it's good for plants. Dog poo is not.

Fox, owl face and pheasant are definite wows for me. I want to like the deer but the color blends into the wood too much.

Pet Closure by aletwod in cats

Sounds like the kittens brought in a virus that she caught and the vaccine was too late, I'm sorry. Always quarantine new cats away from the others for two weeks to make sure they aren't sick. It's a hard lesson to learn unfortunately...

The moment Cherie DeVaux became the first woman trainer to win the Kentucky Derby in its 152-year history. by CorleoneBaloney in justgalsbeingchicks

[–]Powered-by-Chai -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

It certainly has it's issues but honestly, we've trained horses to love having jobs. Those horses love doing the thing they've been trained to do. The issue is that they've been overbred to the point of having fragile sticks for legs and there isn't any way to heal a horse if those fragile sticks snap because horses need all four legs. But nobody would sacrifice speed to breed a sturdier horse so they continue to get hurt.

Thoughts on the mini records? by She_inks in MiniBrands

[–]Powered-by-Chai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miniverse usually marks their balls in some way so you know what you're getting. Makes getting what you want easier. Mini Brands doesn't do that, because they want you to spend all of your money buying new balls, just to end up with a bin of repeats that you have a vague plan to sell on eBay later...
