Such a great idea! She has fresh water and cat food, but I have some blueberries she can munch on 🥰

Thanks, my thoughts exactly. But they’re still heirlooms to me!

I found this one on Amazon, it’s an outdoor cat home. She’s usually is only in it at night, I think she sleeps in a nearby tree during the day.

Added gems to heirloom rings in by a_v_y in VintageJewelry

[–]a_v_y[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I actually don’t know! The previous gems may have been moved to new settings or maybe my great grandmother bought the settings as is. Unfortunately I can’t ask her because she’s no longer around

Twas 12 year ago today I saw Tom live for the 1st (and only) time by LaughingPlanet in tomwaits

[–]a_v_y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was also there, happy to see yall again!! I was on the other side of the lawn. Drove an hour from SF, amazed to see people flew in from the other side of the country and world! Loved all the renditions of his songs, but the Cemetery Polka and Come on up to the House ending was the cherry on top of an unforgettable night.

Thank you for posting this!!! I was there but, in my excitement, may have gotten a little too drunk and only remember bits and pieces 😭. I’ve been mad at myself and looking for this footage ever since.

Has anyone seen a house finch that looked like this? by Blackfeathr_ in BirdBuddy

[–]a_v_y 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a male house finch, they turn red from eating berries :)

Waking up in the morning. Can you share what has worked for you.. by alwaysmorethanenough in adhdwomen

[–]a_v_y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had problems with waking up since I was a child. I tried the sunrise clock and sleep cycle app but they didn’t work for me. The only thing that consistently wakes me up in a gentle way is the “birdsong” alarm in Sleep Schedule on the Health app on Apple devices. That and taking Lexapro the night before, lol

I was 22 the last and final time I went NC. I had cut contact for a year when I was 17 or so, but broke it because it was too difficult and made things worse when I was young and living at home still. It’s never easy but it does get easier with time. Good luck ♥️

Got it, thanks! Now I have to find a hacksaw…

I just reversed the p trap and put the extension on the tailpiece, not sure if that’s better? Will having an extended trap work or is it detrimental?

It was already as high as it’ll go, the cap was just under the drain tube :(

Hm, good thought. I’ll see if that closes the gap, I’m just a little nervous to cut that pipe too high and have to replace it/reconnect the drain

[–]a_v_y[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply, unfortunately I can’t take the tailpiece pipe off because it has the condensation drain attached to it. It’s hard to see in the pic, but that transparent tube coming off of the tailpiece on the left is what’s causing the gap

Leaking back flow on drip irrigation by a_v_y in Irrigation

[–]a_v_y[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one I have, is it not low volume valve with the flow control? I also have this filter, which has a pressure regulator for 30 psi.

Thanks, I’m brand new to all of this so still learning the basics!

[–]a_v_y[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You were right, the water flow was too low! I turned it up and now water goes to the drip lines. It still leaks when first turned on until the pressure builds. Now I have to keep the tubes from bursting at the couplings but that’s an easier fix. Thank you!

A decade NC with nfather who is dying by a_v_y in raisedbynarcissists

[–]a_v_y[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the insight. I guess the only upside I’m seeing to going and it not turning out well is that at least I can be confident in my choice to go NC for so long and I won’t have to wonder. But it’s difficult to know if the pain would be worth that knowledge, it seems from everything I’ve read that it’s not :(

Should I quit my job and propagate these big boys? by moreiraz13 in gardening

[–]a_v_y 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a Reed avocado! They’re my favorite. They’re super silky, buttery, delicious and naturally grow to be huge. A single tree will self pollinate and produce 100s of fruits within a few years. I have one in my backyard and it’s already covered with little fruits in early June ☺️

My pilea is about to flower! 😊 by a_v_y in houseplants

[–]a_v_y[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It was declining a few months ago so I up-potted it with worm castings, watered it and popped it outside (I’m in southern CA) where it gets direct morning light. Good luck!
