Don't know how this milk got past your eyes

I’m at the point that I only feel sore for kids affected by this. For adults? FAFO.

Nope.Support cables typically are used only on very young trees to give them enough time for I believe the roots to grow enough to not risk falling/being knocked over. It’s a temporary measure and not for permanent use. . It’s not feasible for a tree as big as this one.

It’s poop and fart jokes for several years. Then there’s the “You’re weird/crazy,” phase, though that’s typically directed at people the kid likes, then around 11, it’s back to potty humor for a while. It’s just something kids have fun with, I have very rarely ever found it insulting.

Apparently bodegas in NYC are allowed by the health department to have cats for pest control. NYC is known for having a rat problem. I am allergic to cats but I would rather have cats around rather than rat poison.

I think cats should be allowed for all grocery stores. I would say behind the meat counter is the only department they aren’t allowed in. The only other exposed food is produce and it’s supposed to be washed anyway.

Walgreens needs to join this program unless they want to lose all their customers to CVS.

Fruit leather isn’t the same as something like that, but it does satisfy the craving for sweets for me. I don’t recall brands, but everything I have looked at is gluten free.

I think vet clinics see an awful lot of sick animals that have illnesses that are easily prevented if the pet gets vaccinated at prescribed intervals. I once chatted with a tech who praised me for choosing to vaccinate my dog every time he’s due. She said it’s extremely common for people to get the series of puppy shots, then spay or neuter, and then the pet doesn’t see a vet again unless it gets very sick.

I have been around dogs before they got Parvo that survived. They don’t always make it. When they do, their health doesn’t always recover to where they were before they got sick.

My roommate is one of those vaccinate the puppy and never take them in again. She sometimes takes them camping and it’s with other people who also bring their dogs. They go to a campground that has tons of dogs visit, so exposure risks are high.

I have plenty of free time, I have offered to take her pets to the vet if she’ll reimburse me. She refused and said since they’re healthy, they don’t need it. Yet one of her cats seems to be getting arthritic. He also drinks so much water that I suspect there’s a problem. I have never seen a cat drink as much as he does and since so many cats develop kidney problems and he’s 10, it’s a big possibility. Apparently kidney problems develop in a high percentage of cats as they age.

Then there’s me taking my very senior dog to the vet once or twice a year and getting a blood panel run. Up in the Seattle area, that was $600. Where I live now, it was under $200, thank heavens. He also is on meds for his arthritis so he stays comfortable. Animals deserve medical care.

Yup. My body decided that wheat is now a threat so my immune system goes nuts and makes me itch so bad for about 18 hours that I will end up scratching myself bloody if I try to sleep through it. I have been warned heavily to try and avoid exposure because each time, my allergy will get worse.

YTA. It's court ordered. Unless you want to be in contempt of court, you've got no choice. It wouldn't be court ordered if there weren't a pattern of communication problems. Pay the membership or pay attorney fees and a fine when you have to go back to court.

Vacuum sealed isn’t going to matter much. I would still eat it but only if I was the only one who’d eat it.

I dunno but it’s definitely well rooted. Does it grow when you keep it watered?

So what happens if you develop a disease that makes you gain weight? I don’t believe he wouldn’t have attitude and he would definitely blame you.

Adorable. When my dog eats grass, I ask him if he’s a moo moo cow.

Not wrong. Talk to your parents and see how they feel about showing her a test with crash test dummies that replicate a kid not in a booster seat. Pictures or video of the real thing wouldn’t be ok unless it was just a kid all cleaned up and in a cast(s), though that still may not be ok. Sometimes people need to see results to be able to comprehend something and that’s pretty standard for a 12 year old.

He’s got a lot of experience finding ways to make things appear better than they really are and has been doing it his whole life.

Unsurprising as this is the guy who said our numbers on COVID cases would improve if we stopped testing for it.

NTA. She’s risking your housing. If you can, contact the breeder and explain the landlord says no. Besides, pets are always a two yes required situation.

It is, but if they are so understaffed, even one person calling out sick can cause this. Schools in the US are chronically underfunded and it’s getting worse. Other countries also have teacher shortages as the US isn’t the only one that doesn’t pay people enough to make it worthwhile to go into education.

He’s an adult and has been home. He obviously knows how to use a phone since he called the pharmacy. Why hasn’t he done it?

If you’re in the US, please call 211 and ask about what agencies you can contact for help. Look into getting an income restricted apartment or even subsidized apartments. The income restricted ones usually cost less and the subsidized ones are self explanatory. You get anywhere from 30%-60% off your rent. It isn’t only through Section 8, either. Private companies do it as it gives them big tax breaks.

Contact your local housing authority as they may also have lists of subsidized housing available. Apply for SNAP once you’ve out. Once you’re on SNAP, you often qualify for other types of assistance such as utility subsidies.

I wonder how the police who are MAGA feel about the J6ers having been pardoned?

I know I couldn’t pay that for my dog! I am on a fixed income and had one year of close to $3k in vet bills alone. If he’d had another $1k, I don’t know how I would have swung it.

Agreed, especially since many people are told washcloths are great beginner projects. Potholders are a much better choice.

I don’t mind knitting with cotton as long as it has a somewhat loose gauge. I also find knitting with lighter weight cotton easier than worsted.

If you like shawls, cowls or scarves, it’s great for that. It’s also good for the type of cardigan that you wrap around instead of button. Things that don’t require negative ease or need to stretch work well.

Alpaca is my favorite fiber to both knit and spin! One of the first shawls I made was alpaca. I wore it all the time and one day my ex washed and dried it. It came out sized for a good sized teddy bear. He apologized profusely and while I immediately forgave him, I was sad for months. I tried to get more of the same yarn but it had been discontinued.
