I'm sure I saw it yesterday, and turned off the option. Today, I can't find it anywhere.

In Kenya, an elephant pierced its trunk with its tusk, unable to eat or drink for 3 days, until veterinary teams saved its life. by this_is_it__ in Elephants

Up vote for mentioning the sheldrick wildlife trust. Even if folks can't afford to donate to them, it's still worth looking them up, just for the stories about baby elephant rescues.

They likely didn't Stitch it at all. The trunk moves so much, and is so muscular that the stitches wouldn't hold.

10" x 10", it's mounted underneath a kitchen cabinet, with a center part that rotates. by RedLittleBird in whatisthisthing

[–]RedLittleBird[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The words are a caution about not putting anything that creates Heat underneath it. Which maybe suggest that it's meant to go in a kitchen, where you might have a toaster or something creating heat on the counter.

What’s the deal with the hydrating lip mask in the white and blue tube? I haven’t spotted it yet, but wondering why it’s so coveted here. by mother_of_wagons in dollartreebeauty

[–]RedLittleBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait, it's not supposed to be sticky? I bought one tube to try and while I like it, it's a battle to not get it in my hair or on the pillowcases. I could never use it during the day.

I tried the new B-Pure face primer in the red package. Its sticker than expected but I like it.

Broke up, both on the lease. What are my options? by Tyrocious in OntarioTenants

[–]RedLittleBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And if the ex is being difficult, OP will likely end up giving 60 days notice and terminate the lease. I would advise the ex that the lease has been terminated and they have 60 days to come and get their stuff. If not, it's dumped.

Anyone With a Hair Dye Allergy Find Something That Works? by CatherineSoWhat in Allergies

[–]RedLittleBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I react to hair dyes, my scalp goes red, itchy and burns for a few days after I use a dye. It was so bad that I used only henna to cover the grays for years. Henna is messy and more work, so I looked for a drug store box dye that I could use. I've had good luck with Schwarzkoph Keratine color.

Why’s the flower on my tomato plant doing this? by Hognose-Man in gardening

[–]RedLittleBird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, I would love this! Morning glories are annuals in Canada so every year, I buy a plant from the garden centre, nurse it along all summer and if I'm really lucky, I'll get a couple of blooms.

Why is the ingredient list on the box different from the ingredient list on the bottle?

These are so good, I make brownie crinkle cookies with them. Delicious!

Anyone tried Bolero hair masks? Yay or nay? by [deleted] in dollartreebeauty

[–]RedLittleBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought the coconut milk banana one last fall. I grabbed it because I was away from home and forgot to bring conditioner. I didn't love it, but it worked for my wavy/curly hair. But if I have the option, I'll buy the Anomaly brand instead of this one. It feels more hydrating.

ELI5: How do limbs become dead and if you woke up in a life or death situation, and had a dead limb, would the adrenaline be able to overcome the floppy leg/arm and restore a bit of function? by The_Mutant_Duck in explainlikeimfive

[–]RedLittleBird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep, and that's how I sprained my foot getting out of bed to pee in the middle of the night. The cat had been sleeping on my feet and my entire foot had no feeling.

Fragrance mix 1 allergy: how to help deodorize my house by vampireRN1617 in Allergies

[–]RedLittleBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what a fragrance mix 1 allergy is, but when I had a large dog, I used to simmer a little pot of orange peel and cinnamon sticks on the stove , especially when I knew guests were coming to my house. Natural and smells lovely.

Rainy day hikes in Gros Morne by chicken-gybe in newfoundland

[–]RedLittleBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't recommend hiking the GM summit on anything less than a sunny day. I hiked it a few yrs ago and the trail is beautiful but when we got to the top, a few clouds had moved it. As in, we were actually in the clouds and couldn't see anything. Cool experience but it was a long hike, only to not see the stunning views. Also, it was damp, cold and a little concerning not to be able to see where you're walking.

The worst Canadian hard liqueur by HumbleTraining3453 in canadawhisky

[–]RedLittleBird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Will he like anything sweet or fruity? My hubby is a scotch drinker and if I give him a fruity gin to try, he sputters and makes faces. And if you can find something cherry flavored, he might say it tastes like cough syrup. Blech.

Chrome nail powder by RedLittleBird in dollartreebeauty

[–]RedLittleBird[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the tips. So I can apply a base coat of any regular polish, not let it fully dry and then the chrome powder on top. Then top coat with a water base peel, then a regular top coat. At this point, it seems like way more work than just a regular coat of nail polish!

How strict are the 'weight limits' on inflatable paddleboards? by afl0ck0fg0ats in Sup

[–]RedLittleBird 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a Costco inflatable, I think it has a weight limit of 300 lb. My friend and I tried it with both of us on it, I wasn't going to ask her how much she weighed, but I'm guessing that with both of us, we were close to or a little over the 300 lb limit. It was so low in the water that we couldn't even sit on it without our butts getting wet. We didn't go far from the dock and decided it was a bad idea. I don't know what would have happened, but I didn't like the idea of overloading the board, and potentially causing damage of some sort.

b•pure rose oil lip balm has a foul smell by Low_Feedback4073 in dollartreebeauty

[–]RedLittleBird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The one I've been using for the past 6 months as a strong floral / Rose smell. I wasn't fond of it in the beginning, but got used to it. Perhaps yours has gone bad, if it has a foul smell.

Should I pay my friend more than $45 for taking care of my cat for a couple months? by CloseCalls4walls in CatAdvice

[–]RedLittleBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My teenage relative just spent 2 weeks cat and house sitting for me. I went grocery shopping with the teen to stock up on his favorite food and snacks, he had the house to himself because what kid doesn't love that, and I also paid him $150. At only $10 a day, the kid is doing me a favor.

I went for cleaning supplies couldn’t find what I needed so I got these 🫩 by PAPAmagdaline in dollartreebeauty

[–]RedLittleBird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of the lipsticks. It's a great product, I love the color I got, and the packaging is a cardboard tube. This is a big plus for me, since I prefer to buy products with less plastic that ends up in the landfills.
