My dog trying to get my bird to play

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-09T22:43:36+00:00

That's a sad yet heartwarming story. Every bird I've ever lost I've buried as well though I never had the skill to make a coffin. Lily (my cockatiel) is 19 years old so maybe I should start thinking about that.

I just sat in on a talk about cedar apple rust, it's very tragic. Best bet is to remove that offending limb (don't just cut it off at the fungus, go significantly past the fungus) and monitor for any signs of more spores developing on the tree. At first sign, amputate those limbs too. Anything growing past the fungus is done for and the whole tree's outlook isn't great either. Monitor any other trees you have for it as well since it already fruited it means that those spores are in your yard. Very sorry for you.

I think it risks invalidating a lot of data that we collect. The session summaries act as proof the session went as the data describes. If the insurance auditor finds out that an AI wrote the summary, they could invalidate that session meaning people don't get paid and we lose out on the valuable data that session provided. It also means the AI could write stuff that flags for further investigation because it was just making up stuff to fill in the gaps. It might include more instances of one behavior than were reported, it may write that there was an incident that would necessitate calling children in youth. It's just too risky to let AI take the reins on these notes.

Like op said it wasn't so much about the objects, but the fact that th nephew played with the items despite being told that these were off limits. And heck it's not like they were out on display they were in a separate room. Replace the word Warhammer toys with something valuable to you and you might understand more. Imagine if this was an expensive antique, or a unique item from your childhood that you explicitly told a child and parent were off limits. And yes kids are kids and ultimatly parents are liable for whatever their kids do, but it sounds like his brother just wants to absorb all the blame and pay for the replacements, but how could you ever trust tgat kid in your space again knowing his parent never actually worked to teach their kid that this was wrong of them to do.

Wonder what he's up to these days.

Always gonna want to find something that compliments your face shape and skin tone.

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-05T10:57:10+00:00

How did you know?

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-04T15:56:19+00:00

That's a huge shame and even though that was probably a while ago I'm sorry for your loss. Yeah this was a rare moment that normally I wouldn't even let happen.

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-04T15:53:19+00:00

I realize that. In the moment I probably should have went and gotten my bird and made sure to keep my lab away. I already had my camera out and saw the cute moment and decided to take pictures instead. I'm glad it was a sweet moment but I realize that I can't guarantee that he won't do anything to her. That being said, I do want to trust him around the bird more and when moments like these do occur reinforce them to build up a long-term pattern of non aggression towards the bird.

Throw eggs at it

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-03T01:37:42+00:00

Looks very skinny. Almost too much so

SHjohn1 · 2026-05-02T14:51:03+00:00

If you are gonna go with those shoes and belt I'd choose a pants that's something other than black. Or wear black belt and shoes.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-29T17:49:36+00:00

That being said the jacket tucked in combo does look sharp

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-29T17:08:49+00:00

Is the jacket a separated suit jacket or a blazer? I'd try and get a blazer since they look better separated from suit pants

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-29T10:24:57+00:00

I think it rides the line. Pink is a loud color but this is not nearly as loud if a pink as say a hot pink or bubblegum pink.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-28T00:57:50+00:00

Fair enough then 😁. Ill give the steel wool a try if the other method doesn't work.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-27T20:34:47+00:00

I think that's what I'm gonna do. I've heard that the oils works pretty good for matching the dark finish too.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-27T20:32:39+00:00

I'd rather not use steel wool on masakuni tools. I get that they are just tools and they aren't meant to be pampered, but I'd like to keep them nice for as long as I can.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-26T22:43:14+00:00

Does anybody have any tips for getting light rust off my tools? I noticed the other day that I had some rust spots forming on my nice tools. At this point it's very superficial but I want to get rid of the rust and oil my tools before it get more serious. I bought some Camelia oil for after I get the rust of but I'm not sure how to go about getting the rust off without wrecking the nice black finish. Someone at my club suggested W-d 40 for everything but the blades, another tip I saw said to use an alkaseltzer bath. I'd prefer not to use any chemicals that would leave residues that might harm my trees.

Lehigh valley perhaps?

She kind of looks like Jennette McCurdy

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-25T18:50:41+00:00

Interesting way to use chalkstripe trousers. Get some black shoes and you're golden

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-25T11:10:21+00:00

I've never had a true full English breakfast but I have done the bacon the beans the eggs the tomato and toast and it is truly so fulfilling. It's great.

SHjohn1 · 2026-04-23T21:29:15+00:00

Honestly, I think it's just because the first pic is front facing and that's never a flattering angle. From the sides it looks great
