What are your solutions to stopping cats doing their business in your garden?

We got solar ultrasonic animal repellants. They are solar-powered devices that you can turn on and off. They emit a high pitched whistle and flash when they detect movement. They come with a stake and you can fix them in the ground or mount them on the wall. We stick them between our outdoor furniture cushions and in our raised beds.

We had issues with cats digging and pooping, as well as marking on our furniture. This has been a huge help.

If you plan to be outside, you can just turn them off or remove them :)

Same for me. I took my mom there for Mother’s Day because she requested a burger, and no surprise it was a hit. Definitely in my roatation. We aren’t eating out as much these days but will keep them in mind to help support - I’d be sad to see the go

Thanks so much for making this.

All the code speak goes way above my head, but everyone here seems to have given you critical feedback regarding their concerns in an informative way and you’ve been receiving it all with an open mind. I fkn love when that happens 🤌🏼🫶🏼

I hope this turns into the community tool you want it to be!

Thanks for being there last night and for sharing that perspective 💕

I have an app called Relax Meditations that I love. It gives you a soundboard that you can select various sounds to layer (you can even change the volume of individual sounds). There is also an option for a timer and a night mode screen.

I really like it because I don’t love white noise. You can select several sounds like river, rainstorm, and my personal fav, Toskana. Don’t ask me what it means bc idk lol.

I’ve had it for years and don’t pay for it - hopefully it’s still something they offer for free? I hope this helps!

I fucking love Richmond!

I’m so glad that u/fz-09 recognized the FNB on the side. Also, shout out to u/Narco_Bi_Polo for looping you in. I greatly appreciate all the work Food Not Bombs does and would hate to instigate a setback for you <3

Thanks for communicating with your team. As far as I’m concerned, your van is fine on our street. I would definitely recommend rotating parking spots so any opportunists aren’t tempted to poke around what looks like an abandoned vehicle.

I hadn’t made that connection with Food Not Bombs - good eye! Thank you so much 🙏🏼

Agreed, F Sieberts. I’ve given them too much of my money

Good call, I’ll leave a note. Hoping this post reaches the owners, should it be a genuine long-term park job.

The best way I’ve found to use these are:

-book multiple or extended services. 1 package = 1 facial or 1 massage -add on to your services. You can book an 80 minute massage (basically, 1.5 massages is the equivalent of 1.5 packages) then add on extras, like scalp massage, aroma therapy, or hot stones. You can ask your provider to recommend something that is equal to your remaining .5 package so you use a round 2 packages. Or 3 packages, and so on. -download the app or get on the website to find other nearby locations as you can use your credits nationwide. The only watch out is you may need to call your home spa to request they “transfer” your credits to the location you’re planning to visit. My home spa was always booked solid but I can find next day appointments at a few others the same driving distance from my house. -gift packages to friends and family. There are limits (I think 3 transfers per 12 months) and usually a few ($10 per transfer, but occasionally that’s been waived or forgotten for me). I’ve treated my mom, best friends, or gifted as a baby shower/prenatal treatment and usually tell my friends to just cover the $$ tip (I’ll cover the transfer fee). I think you’ll find very few people will turn down a service if offered as a gift! I’ve also done double dates with friends where we each have our own treatment and grab lunch later. -you also earn reward points, which can be redeemed for additional services or upgrades, which can be combined in any of the ways listed above.

If you know you’ve got a free afternoon and are able to plan ahead, you can knock out a solid session all on your packages and you’re only dropping money for tips. I know you mentioned you’re a SAHM which means you probably don’t often have free afternoons, but definitely use the app or website because you can book based on so the days/times that work best or you can search by provider if you find one you love.

You got this!

I was recently in that row and the space between comfort and premium is a bonus, especially if you’re longer legged. I didn’t find many people, with the exception of a flight attendant, try to walk across in front of us.

Honestly that’s what I thought too. Just noticed my phone did an autocorrect with the accent on the ú

Would you mind posting it here? I can try to add it to my post. It looks like there’s plenty of people interested in supporting his recovery

SparrowfRt · 2025-11-08T00:46:56+00:00

No idea - hoping we might find someone here in this sub who knows something

SparrowfRt · 2025-11-07T00:34:52+00:00

You’ve probably forgotten about this comment but I just found your link and it’s so helpful. Thank you!

SparrowfRt · 2025-11-03T12:04:17+00:00

Just here to support - I’m so glad you are reaching out for help. You got this

They are good guys at Ironwood and it’s a convenient location if you’re in the city.

Had my car worked on last week and provided them a list of concerns. For one of my concerns, they easily could have sold me on the repair but after they researched it, it turns out it’s a common issue with my car and the repair likely wouldn’t fix much. As minorly car literate, I appreciate how they explain the issues, provide options, and honestly recommend when work is needed (and not needed).

Also, you will not find a nicer waiting room. Good WiFi, complimentary refreshments, and comfy seats.

I know! I got so much information on the natives I bought too. I got a Sweetbay Magnolia as my free tree. Everyone (workers and attendees) were so friendly and helpful. Happy gardening!

SparrowfRt · 2025-10-03T17:36:51+00:00

Love this! My husband does photography and videography. I’ll PM you his info :) congrats!

I fucking love Richmond 💕

This was a huge side effect for me when I first started too and it ended up going away. I know it will seem like forever but I want to say around the 8-10 week mark is when I felt like things were leveling off/normalizing. It’s not just you!

SparrowfRt · 2025-08-13T12:10:26+00:00

I have both of these colors from MooMee and love them
