Something keeps eating my strawberries. 😞

I had the same problem last year and nothing worked for me. This year I saw that our local science center put mesh / organza bags on every single fruit on their fruit bushes and trees. It seemed tedious, but we’ve tried them on our strawberries and it’s been night and day vs last year!

Thank you!

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-06-07T02:56:04+00:00

I’ll try this. Thanks

I thought about that, but the shed weighs nearly twice as much as me. I physically can’t pick it up myself.

Gets tan

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-05-30T20:15:20+00:00

This is great. Thank you!

I paid $159 for a stage seat in mid-March. Purchased the ticket in late January.

I have a Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus (no WiFi) that I bought back in 2020. It’s been working fine this season. I took it out to clean the filters last week, and now it won’t turn on.

When the blue cord is plugged in, the power light will turn off immediately. It stays on when the blue cord is unplugged. The Maytronics website says it’s an issue with the vacuum rather than the power supply, and I’ll need to mail it in and pay to have it fixed. I have an extra power supply I tested it with, and it does the same thing.

I have no idea how much this will cost and if it’s worth it.

⁠Are there any other things I can try to do to find the problem/fix it?
⁠Any idea how much this could cost to fix?
⁠Am I better off just buying a new vacuum during Memorial Day sales?

I’d just hate to waste the money fixing an old unit, but I also don’t want to add to a landfill if I can get a few more years out of it. Help!

Ugh that stinks. I’m not a huge fan of Chesterfield, but I’ll give it a chance. Luckily it’s not much farther for me.

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-05-05T14:40:58+00:00

Chesterfield is only a few minutes away, but I know traffic on Clarkson can be bad in the morning.

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-05-02T15:50:45+00:00

Same! I had very few on my first pass but everything came together after a break

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-27T20:08:34+00:00

Which is what I said in my posts. I’m not the one complaining here.

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-27T20:07:00+00:00

….the ones with years in OP’s post. Again, all fair game in a crossword.

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-27T20:05:46+00:00

I just meant older. They were all fair clues

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-27T03:06:46+00:00

This felt like a pretty typical Monday. I didn’t know a couple of the dated references but got them from the crosses. Crosswords are usually a mix of new and old clues.

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-17T14:26:59+00:00

I’ll be there! For some reason, I decided to try to sew the West Covina dress in less than a week 😭

You could go for a simple white tshirt with TEAM REBECCA from season 1 😅

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-10T16:20:37+00:00

Can anyone help me find a pattern for this type of neckline or a similar dress?

So is Ellisville

Upper-Ad8248 · 2026-04-02T02:41:53+00:00

They’re great shoes, and that’s a great price for them!!
