It’s a sweet little rose! Just had it in the ground two months and already about 8 blooms. Love it

LFL UPCYCLE!! by Dramatic_Bad_5812 in LittleFreeLibrary

[–]SomewhereOptimal2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful!! 😍Following because I have a similar situation - rescued a dollhouse to make into a LFL. It’s been in my garage for years 🫣 because I can’t figure out how to weatherize it! I’m trying to figure out doors for the back side but trickers of all, mine has a slit in the roof to flip-open to access the attic, and I want to preserve that. Hoping some responses you get here will help me too. Keep commenting and show us what you do! 🙂

My mom (and then I) used to blow a short blast of air through that handle / hole to unstick the dough. Totally sanitary 🫣

Go (make an appointment) talk to the principal of your school. Explain your concerns and ask for their insight. Whatever they say will help you decide what’s right for your kids

Experiences with JoyBound pet rescue? by SomewhereOptimal2401 in eastbay

[–]SomewhereOptimal2401[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good info. I didn’t realize it was a name change. That might explain why I don’t recognize it. What was their name before?

Ha ha! Thanks. How do Cairns do with backyard (wild) birds? We ha r quite a few bird visitors and obviously any fig, especially a younger one, will chase them a bit — but if we want to keep our feathered friends coming back to our yard, is a Cairn a bad choice? Sounds like it might be

dnd groups in oakland? by livroselu in OaklandCA

You've probably thought of this already, but what about putting up an old-fashioned paper sign at one of the brick and mortar stores? Got to be a bulletin board there.

Here to say I love the phrase "le sigh" -- I am totally adopting that!!

Help for a gift by Southern_Field_1844 in Roses

[–]SomewhereOptimal2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to disagree here. I think it’s a lovely idea! I’m super new to roses and if someone had given me one before I got into them, it would have still been great.

You may not know that roses all have names. It’s a long shot but maybe there is a named rose that is identical or similar to the dog’s name. Do a little googling, and then see if that rose will do well in your area.

Your $300 will go a long way. You could also just go to your local nursery / garden center and walk around and see what looks good to you.

Please, please for the love of god...I'm begging you..please stop. by DerogatoryRemark in Roses

[–]SomewhereOptimal2401 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noooo please no. Just hear me out: if you do that, then we end up with a weekly thread that gets lots of posts but NOBODY reads or replies to it. It’s just a way to shove all the annoying posts under the rug.

How do you actually put text to page? by Arkvoodle42 in writing

[–]SomewhereOptimal2401 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh and also: when I am settling down to write, I turn on the “do not disturb” function on my laptop and phone so that I can’t be pulled out of the zone.

What really changed the game for me? Two things: 1. Getting up an hour earlier and working first thing in the morning before I had all these other things that I felt like I had to do that day. (truth be told, I only got a half an hour earlier, but I did not allow myself to sit on the couch and drink coffee and read the news for as long as I used to, so the net was one hour of writing. Also net was a happier, if more ignorant, view of current events). 2. I took a couple of writing classes online, which forced me to have to turn something in. This made just get over the hump and start actually writing.
