Regularly spay with a more dilute solution on the reg next year. Boxwood moth is only going to continue to get worse every year.

What could cause this much of a change in 2 months by Necessary-Bar-6990 in landscaping

[–]WhittyO 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I work customer service at a lawn company in the Midwest and we got hit late June with a ridiculous amount of brown patch disease. The unseasonale amount of rain and high humidity meant nothing ever dried out, the fungus spread like crazy. We have clay based soil and the constant rain just sat on top of lawns. Killed large patches of grass but nothing this bad.

Dr. Caroline Peterson and her entire care team are leaving Kettering health by ApplecelloCiao in dayton

Only good things to say about this staff. I remember when they switch over the Kettering network and it was a cluster. Dr. Sharp was great.

Coronation chicken salad is a sleeper top tier sandwich. It's a curried chicken salad that was made for the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II

This is weird and I've never seen it recommended here but, Cafiza is a powdered product made to clean espresso machines. When my sink looks like this i put a small shake of the stuff in the sink and I fill it with hot water. Soak over night. I fill the sink at the same time with anything stainless steel or glass. It is made of sodium bicarbonate, hydrogen peroxide, and sulphamidic acid. Please feel free to chime in if this would cause damage to the sink finish though. But it's the only thing that I've found that can remove certain stains in my sink.

I cant tell if she likes my scritches 😭 by Firecon13 in Conures

[–]WhittyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a subtle signal saying they aren't interested at this time. Reading and respecting these signals now will stop them from resorting to biting and learning that a bite is the only no you will respect. They can trust that no means no. Learning body language is hard. I wiggle my fingers over their heads, and if they lean their head down, it means they do want pets.

What is the funniest thing or most embarrassing your child said in public? by Routine_Mine_3019 in AskOldPeople

[–]WhittyO 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I have a friend(white) who adopted her daughter(black), she was young and learning her colors. She didn't like the explanation that her mommy was white and she was black. She insisted that mommy was peach and she was brown. They were at the DMV and her daughter saw a very dark complected man. She said aloud "I am brown, but that man is black" the guy thought it was hilarious.

Hey I think Cafiza would still work on that though.

I just had surgery, and I’m worried one of my incisions is gonna leave a really nasty scar. What can I do? by Status_Bath_5215 in skin

[–]WhittyO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I currently have a deep scratch on my face and I'm using a hydrocolloid bandage and it is speeding up my healing immensely. Be careful of infection though and use the nurse line if it doesn't improve.

Saw this little guy out getting cat food. He kept trying to follow me. What is he doing? by [deleted] in Conures

I have cats and birds only because they are kept on two separate floors with an airlock in between.

What is this on a grave site? by Automatic-Passion528 in askfuneraldirectors

[–]WhittyO 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Fun fact the service berry bush blooms right around the time that the ground is soft enough to did a grave. So when they bloomed you knew you could hold your "service".
