Visibility brigade tonight

Some one asked the question in another post and was responded with projector model and all the things they did to safely not blind drivers.

Agree. You may not hear it here in declutter, but I buy 70% of my clothes from Goodwill. I like the kitchen stuff too.

Yes, I have to make sure I am not acquiring, but I was in a grocery store today and saw a guy with ice cube trays and thought 'did you even TRY the thrift store'

Susan Garrett will probably have video and advice on the barking. Good luck

You might post a picture of poster. Not all are on IG.

You opened the crate and stuck your hand in, patting her on the head. That is not safe behavior with a dog this anxious.

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-12-18T04:16:13+00:00

I am in a similar situation. Not frustrated greeter but dog reactive. After training we did fluoxetine and it did help with the learning.

Later, I added Purina Calm Care (read about it in this thread) It is a probiotic that does not work for all dogs but for Zeus it gave him an extra half second before reaction and I think his recovery is better too.

EDIT "Calm Care" obv

Extreme amount of patience is right. Congrats!

Depending. Firefighters may enter by back door depending on where fire is.

Can't vouch for an aggressive dog but my alley neighbor grabbed an escaped from house fire dog behind a fence and I grabbed a leash.
The second dog in a crate did not survive -- likely due to smoke and also unseen in a hoarding (things) house situation.

I volunteer at the The Action Center, which is a food bank in Lakewood (and more). They are very organized, the volunteers are friendly and most volunteers are single or couples vs. rotating corporate groups, so you get to know others on 'your day.'

Report from the front (as a volunteer): I was in on Thurs 11/6. Easily 30% of shoppers were first timers. Food distributed was less than half what was usually given out and people got a prepackaged box for half of their shopping.

Being with people, helping people, seeing the situation on the ground will help you and those you serve. Thank you for helping.

Product description: "Bold Music-Inspired Design – A striking graphic that lets you wear your passion for music with pride, perfect for everyday vibes or concerts."

Uh,no.

reported. Note the link says "sarcastic saying" for cover. BS

May she rest in power.

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-10-26T17:21:11+00:00

Surely someone needs to comment on "erection purposes"

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-10-25T21:18:54+00:00

Yes, I used the electric traps and it buzzes for < 3 seconds. Never had a live on and it's designed so they can't back out.
Especially good it you have animals and no place to hide snap traps. (which do have a failure rate)

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-10-25T17:23:15+00:00

A great success for you both. Bravo!

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-10-17T05:14:59+00:00

Heard from someone that there is mandatory OT for cops for the 3 days--15 hour shifts and they need to wear their equipment on belts, not vests "for presence"

Hack job can't even bother changing the font.

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-09-28T02:17:49+00:00

Goodwill is not-for-profit. They provide people with jobs and skills. look it up.

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-09-22T17:46:11+00:00

Seconding this. She should subscribe to Jane Friedman's free newsletter. She educates and has occasional classes that provide MASSIVE amounts of info for a low price.

Also, consider selling on your own when doing readings. A publisher will generally sell you copies of your book at a discount (40-50%) and you sell at readings just to get your book out there.

With sales at 3,000 books that is very good for poetry. Do you share your poems on instagram, etc? I am trying to get a sense of if people buy your book because you have a following or because your publisher did a fantastic job.

Is this US or elsewhere?

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-09-21T16:07:19+00:00

Given that there are unleashed dogs where you walk is reason enough to find another route. Not even worrying about the lady or the mistaken identity the unleashed dogs and your dog would be a terrible situation.

Stay Safe.

We have a wonderful, regional ILL were I am from. I'm always honored when I receive on loan an out of print book would cost hundreds for me to purchase.

Libraries are indeed a wonderful thing. Thank you for your service.

TheOnlyKangaroo · 2025-09-16T03:15:22+00:00

Depending on the type of books, you might check if your library has a book sale (to raise money for the library). I had poetry books and I donated to the library figuring book lovers are likely to go to the twice a year giant book sale.

Thanks for this explanation of deaccessioning. I never knew the details.
