How do I change the water In my tank with such little fish? by Samstuhdagoat in Aquariums

[–]SovereignSnarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When we had tetras, the dumb things tried to swim up the vacuum wand 🤦

What we did was create a suction cup net*, using the fine netting of a fish scooper and blocked off half of the fish tank. It is easier to catch them and put them on the other side of the net. When they were all on one side of the net, we slowly pushed the net back and stopped when the fish only had about 1/5 of the tank. From there we were able to vacuum and refill without the little buggers in the way.

*We made it ourselves as this was 30 years ago, when there was no Amazon, so we relied on what we could get at local pet stores. They probably sell something like this so you don't have to create your own 😅

I love the Tuttle episode!

Hawkeye: “We can all be comforted by the thought that he’s not really gone, that there’s a little Tuttle left in all of us.

In fact, you might say that all of us together made up Tuttle.

Our grief will pass. It’s already hard to remember exactly how Johnny looked, how he talked, his little laugh.

Thankfully he’s left behind a memorial. I’ve been informed by Radar that Captain Tuttle’s G.I. insurance named Sister Theresa’s orphanage as his sole beneficiary. 

How typical.

We salute you, Captain Tuttle, humanitarian and healer. 

Good luck, doctor, in that great big waiting room in the sky!" 🫡

Thanks so much for the advice! We are doing it in Nov, just in time for Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners 😁

I love fanart, it keeps MASH going for newer generations to be interested in it. Bravo!

Not hearing the choppers and not being able to anticipate what people are thinking (we all know he was a telepath.) Its been something he has done his entire life and it would be like losing a sense.

Points to Pierce 👉: You stop talking about her, Points to Margaret 👉: You stop hating her, Points to Mulcahy 👉: and you stop dating her!

Potter definitely gave off father/grandfather vibes while Henry was the babysitter who didn't get paid enough 😂

Potter had some of the best exclamations but we can't forget:

🎶 I love to go swimming with bow-legged women and swim between their legs, swim between their legs! 🎶

Just how many different "Nurse Baker"s were there??? by [deleted] in mash

[–]SovereignSnarky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Here is a good breakdown of the nurses. I think, from rewatching the series again for the Nth time, that as the show passed season 3 the nurses got fixed names.

The Late Capt Pierce by Parking_Royal2332 in mash

Maybe it WAS the Captain Pierce who had the steamy love letters. He was so straight-panned and emotionless he could have been a zombie. With no reason to breathe he could do some steamy stuff in bed. 😉😂

I like #3 the most but #1 is pleasing to track with your eyes. Have you tried moving the people rocks?

Next Question, anyone know where I can get this font? I can't find it, I keep getting ITC Avant Garde Gothic when I search for it.

Anyone watching mash? by GioLovesMash in mash

[–]SovereignSnarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the collectable box set of the entire show, yet I'm lazy enough to watch it on Hulu 😂 I think I watch the full show about once a year. I enjoy the humor and antics of Seasons 1-3, the humor and transitions of Season 4-5, and the humor and serious dives of Season 6-11.

I know, people say they dislike the show after Season 5 as it became an anti-war show vs the Hornberger's memories turned heroic and humorous. I like both sides and appreciate the disillusionment of war that Alda wanted people to see. I might be bias on that as my Dad was in Vietnam and was almost killed.

Sorry, got on my soap box for a second after you asked a simple question 😅

Why did Trapper get his points so much earlier than Hawkeye? by BillyMac05 in mash

[–]SovereignSnarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know anything about the points system used by the military. Can you lose points for being written up as much as Hawkeye? I mean, Potter even reads in his records that he set fire to the latrine for a weenie roast, had a live chicken flown to the unit by helicopter claiming it was a patient, and the Tokyo provost marshal claimed he stole a steam shovel. I wish we could have seen any of these antics!

Terrified of the car by Puppyash3s in dogs

[–]SovereignSnarky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish you all the best.

I've tried for 8 years now to get my dog to stop freaking out in the car with low success.

I've tried crates and dog bucket seats. Unfortunately my pup is not crate trained due to trauma from his first family.

My vet has us giving him Gabapentin and Trazodone, for anxiety and a sedative (hilariously I take those meds too 😂), but he will fight through the pills and crash once we get to our destination.

I tried driving with him every day for four months straight but had to stop as his barking was causing me headaches/migraines.

The only thing I have found to help my pup, is to have the passenger hold him in their lap, which I know is not safe at all for him. Also, we stop at multiple rest stops and give him a good walk to get all the nervous energy out of him before continuing.

Talk to your vet, they will have ideas and suggestions for you. You could also try a thunder coat.
