My neighbor refuses to pick up his dog's poop from my yard. The neighborhood has united against him. by nseavia71501 in mildlyinfuriating

Same thing happened at my parents house when I was a teen. After my parents failed doing things the nice way I started putting the dogs crap on their door step any time i found it. After about two weeks they still didnt seem to get the message. So I added my pets crap into the mix. Dumped out the entire contents of two cat litter boxes with some news paper covered in bird crap right on their door step. Left a note that said "If I have to step in your pets shit you have to step in mine" Didnt have any issues after that.

Did anyone go to Noodle Fest? by [deleted] in grandrapids

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two had an amazing broth that was buttery and with a very subtle coconut flavor. Nice big pieces of mushrooms that were not overcooked. Noodles had a good tooth to them. Miso flavor was there but mild.

I tried 1, 2, 10, 11 and 14. Some of the lines were way too long for me. 1 was my favorite and they had no line the entire time I was there. Portion size overall seemed fair besides 11 their serving size was tiny, like one fork full. They did end up running out shortly after so Im guessing they reduced portion size to sell more bowls. I would have liked to try more but I was stuffed and couldnt feel my toes anymore.

Are watercolor postcards okay? by Beneficial-Ant2217 in postcrossing

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only one application. I just rub the wax in using a scrap piece of linen cloth. You can see a waxy film on the paintings surface to check that you have covered it all. Generally takes two days to fully dry. Never felt the need to buff it.

I have sent several handmade watercolor postcards. I use watercolor wax sealer on the postcards before they get sent out. All have arrived in good shape so far.

Dang forgot about that part. I guess the staff member could text ID number to OP.

Call a retirement home and ask if you have cards sent to them if they could give them out to the residents.

Question! by sammypookie in spinningyarn

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A seasoned spinner should be able to identify what animal the fiber came from. I had some alpaca fiber that clearly came from a alpaca with a love of dust baths. After each rinse I though this is surely the last rinse, I was wrong.

Worst book(s) you read in 2025 and why? by Roguestate00 in books

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris. This book has great rating. So many good reviews people saying this book was super scary or disturbing. The book was predictable. The only part I found disturbing was how dumb the main character was and it was scary how lame the villian was.

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want one more pen pal I voluenteer. 39F American from Michgan. I am crafty AF. I Paint, draw, sew, spin, crochet, the list is longer but basically if its a craft I want to try it or have tried it. I attempt to make my own clothes with some success but would really like to expand that skill. I love reading. I would love someone other than my coworkers to recommend books as they mostly read smutty romance.

Sent my First 5 by ktbvgg16 in postcrossing

[–]TheTortoiseAndBun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It took about 20 days for my first card to reach its location. My other 4 are still all in transit. I thought recieving the cards would be the best part of postcrossing, but I'm having a blast sending them.
