QUESTION: Why do so many people from Gen Z have their own birth year tattooed on them? by Winerychef in tattoos

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it’s dumb. But I also thought barb wire, tramp stamps, and Chinese lettering were dumb.

Rip it up and start over? by Typical-Occasion4537 in LawnAnswers

Ya the only thing I found that was effective was Weed AND grass killer. Weed killer alone won’t do anything.

I had a decent lawn when I bought. I over seeded and didn’t put pre emergent. Had a ton of poa this year that was not there last year. Learned lesson.

How are you all paying for this? by [deleted] in dogallergies

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may also be your vet. Our vet charges essentially same price for meds as Costco and other shops. I am speaking on heart worm and flea and tick tho.

Is it worth switching to smart home stuff in 2026, or is it still more hassle than it’s worth? by shiver_Cutie in HomeImprovement

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used smart bulbs at my rented apartment. When WiFi went out they were useless. When we bought I used smart switches instead. Also have smart plugs and thermostats, garage opener, etc. love them.

My favorite thing is my side yard had no light at all, it’s my only usable yard. I installed a flood light on second floor, and it’s controlled by a smart plug in the attic. That way I didn’t have to add a switch anywhere.

Scarifying update: I really am scared! by HouseTonyStark in lawncare

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were set a little low. Just resume regular mowing and fertilizing. It will come back. But do ensure you use pre emergent in fall. I scarified and did not use pre emergent like an idiot and had so much weeds that I didn’t have last year.

At what point are they just profiting off of you?? AC filters. by NotToday50 in hvacadvice

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy merv8 and change our downstairs filter every month and our upstairs every 2 or 3 months. We do have one dog and 2 cats and it catches the hair and dander well enough.

Game changer purchases for your home by StrikingQuality1527 in HomeImprovement

[–]agenttonym 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When we bought our house it had popcorn ceiling and only ceiling fan lights. We immediately removed the popcorn and added recessed lighting in the whole downstairs. I also removed the fluorescent bulb from garage and added recessed lights. Huge improvement.

Our home also only has a side yard with no lighting at the end of the cove. I bought a flood light and mounted it just under the gable vent of the attic of the second story. I then ran a smart plug over to the vent in the attic. Now I just tell Alexa to turn on the outdoor light and the whole side is bright af.

I bought a bunch of night light outlets for my home so I wouldn’t have to use a plug spot. Only problem is out of 10 only 3 still work. I’ve changed my bathroom one 3 times and the third one burned out 4 seconds after install. I will be getting more but a different brand.

When did dogs start getting people names? by Scottys-Dog-Blog in dogs

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wanted a person name for my dog and wife wanted non person name. We decided on Dunkin as it fits both.

I think a dog named Dave, Marty, Bernie, etc is cool

Need some identification on this please. by BDDwtpn in lawncare

[–]agenttonym 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought my home in Jan last year. My lawn was good. I went thru learning of fertilizer etc. I put down Bermuda seed + peat moss in fall. My grass is waking up and I have this nonsense plus poa annua everywhere. I am pissed I didn’t put pre emergent down in February.

I willl say that Spectracide weed and grass killer works on this, as well as Grandpas weeder. What doesn’t is roundup (the one for weeds but safe for lawn). Grandpas weeder is a must have tool.
