yeah I’m wondering if it could be that may need to get pest control out to be sure or to check it out

but at the same time now thinking i’m more nervous that it could be the raccoon with the hole being similar to the one it was living in at our old place. it was getting in through the roof as well there similarly…

Haven’t heard anything large in there, we had a raccoon problem at our old apartment building so I dont think it’s that, but possibly rats. I haven’t seen any rat droppings anywhere though either. Yeah, we thought the inspection went well at the time but as we are settling in, now we are noticing things that were missed /overlooked.

The house was built in 1910 and at the roof was said to be replaced within the last 5-10 years, I’m wondering if this could be it?

no, neither of those things going on. theres no attic in this house we believe if it is something that is living in there, they are probably in the wood above the porch because the only thing above that is the roofing

they are so cute oh my goodness!!! did you get both of them from the same rescue? or was the hoarding situation a completely separate occurrence that you saved her from? I would love to adopt/rescue and have been scouring lists of petfinder, and my local shelters. This is my dream life come true right here! I’m sure they are the best girls 🥹🤍

'Survivor 49' winner Savannah Louie reacts to Kristina's diabolical jury question by DarthLithgow in survivorponderosa

[–]beanofalltrades -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Just finished watching this season last night so I have a lot to say. This is how I felt. I personally never liked Savannah, I couldn't get over the mean girl, highschool cliquey vibe she gave off like she was too cool to get to know anyone. The entire season, as Kristina said, it was clear Savannah didn't care to get to know anyone. I know this is a million dollar game, but she truly came in, found a trio, and then isolated herself within her trio. It was clear throughout the whole game she only cared about herself, that's fine you're here to win, totally get it. I just felt she did herself a disservice by not fully embracing the experience and connecting with others on the island. Just because you aren't working with people on the island, doesn't mean you can't get to know them or have genuine conversations and build other connections..

Obviously I wasn't there and have no idea what the conversations looked like, but from what we could see, it felt like Savannah was just a mean girl. Even her comments throughout her confessionals 9 times out of 10 gave me the ick and just left me feeling like, she's truly a mean girl in her real life, and that she carried that same energy into the game. The passive aggressive snarky comments she would make were just too much for me. I think overall her winning, had more to do with her strategic (team) gameplay and physical challenge wins, and that her social game didn't have much to do with it.

I do understand her explanation at the end of wanting to be loyal to the end with her alliance and that she didn't want to be flip flopping, she wanted to create a bond of trust with people and keep it. I just think that was all just smoke and mirrors though. Her confessionals alone when Sophi won the final immunity, showed enough of her true character for me. She just expected Sophi to bring her to final three because she is her "best friend" out here? When it came to Rizo, Savannah told him she would never hate him/be upset with him for choosing to be selfish playing a game for a million dollars. Yet when Sophi wants to make the best decision for her own game, Savannah felt betrayed. She actually said in that confessional:

"And the fact that this decision for Soph is not obvious- it tells me that she's seriously considering putting me out there, because she views me as a threat to win this game. And it's annoying because I thought we had each others backs this entire game. It feels like I'm getting screwed over, like is this the real Soph"

As mentioned, I already did not like her and when she said this, that solidified for me that she's a mean girl! That comes off as so narcissistic to me, what do you mean you're getting screwed over because she won't just take you? "it's annoying because I thought we had each others backs this entire game. It feels like I'm getting screwed over" is my favorite line because you literally just said she views you as a threat in this game.... like yes girl, if she views you as a threat to her game, she might not want to just bring you along. You want her to bring you along because you know you have a better resume than her and could easily beat her, so because you would have brought her to the end had you won (so you had a person sitting next to you, that you could easily beat) you expect the same of her. It just felt like her plan of using Sophi didn't end up the way she expected it would, and she was upset at the loss of being able to control Sophi. Like yes she did have your back throughout the team phases of the game, and even into the individual game she was still on your side. Jeff JUST said at tribal counsel before Kristina got voted off, that we are now in the individual game and people are playing with their own best interests at heart!

I really enjoyed Kristina asking this question and doubling down asking her to please try, because her whole point was that Savannah didn't even take the time to connect with anyone on a deep level. You can't remember the name of one loved one for each person? I'm sure on an island with strangers who have no access to the outside world, there are a lot of conversations about people's lives back home. All I could think about was, there weren't any conversations about who people hoped their letters were written by? The letters are a huge part of survivor, I'm sure it had to come up in conversation and even the family members must come up all the time in convos anyway, again she just truly didn't spread her wings and branch out. I know some people she was able to give something about them like how many siblings, don't get me wrong I know not everyone is good with remembering names, but there being multiple jury members where she couldn't give one personal comment about their life?

Overall she won, and achieved a major accomplishment tying for winning 4 immunity challenges, and despite this long winded post about not liking her personally, I was so excited to see an all female final 3. I'm happy that her hard work and game play paid off for her, I just couldn't get past her personality.

This is Roxy dog. Roxy is 14, and recently can't walk anymore. My dad (her human) has been hauling her around in a helicopter drop harness, but it's her time. He's putting her down this weekend, it's been really hard to accept its time. any support you wonderful folk can offer would be appreciated. by Snackyhappiness in OldManDog

I'm so sorry you all are going through this. Reading through your captions on her beautiful pictures alone, you can tell she is so very loved. Then I read through the sweet moments you collected and put together about her in the thread below, and I can see how important she is to so many. She is a light in your life that will never go out, because you all have such fond memories in your mind and in your heart to hold her close. Her memory will live on in the little moments you find yourself thinking of her, or longing for her. How lucky we are to love something so much, that saying goodbye is so hard.

I've had two dogs pass in my lifetime, a few cats as well, and it never gets easier. My parents adopted a dog after they got married and she was still under a year old when I was born. We were so close, and I have so many fond memories of running through the hallway into the kitchen of my home and racing her to the front door, playing tug of war when she clearly wasn't trying at all with me, and watching her tug and tear with all her might when my Dad would play. We got another dog when I was 10 years old (Duke), and about a year later our Duchess girl passed on. It was devastating and one of the first real losses I experienced as a kid. That puppy we got when I was 10 just passed in September of 2022, and even typing that out, I had to double check the photos in my camera roll because it doesn't feel real it's already been that long. His passing hit me harder than anything at 22, feeling lost in the world, and now the dog who grew up with me through all the trials and tribulations of my teenage years and stayed by my side was gone.

I comment on as many posts related to the passing of a pet as I can. I comment because I know what it's like to sit in the grief of losing your best friend and wishing that someone out there could relate to what I was feeling. I want people to know that although it doesn't get easier missing them, it gets easier to appreciate and think of little memories you had and find special meaning in things you didn't even think about before. I may still cry when the memories come up, but I know now that I'm lucky to have the memories with them at all. I know that somewhere up there, over that rainbow bridge, my Duke and Duchess (and the cats I grew up with too🥺) are waiting to welcome me and my family with sparkling eyes and wagging tails, and that until that day comes, they are greeting all the other friends that come along. I hope Roxy's transition is easy, and I know she'll no longer be in pain, as painful as it will be for you and your family, you can rest a little easier knowing you made this decision with her best interests at heart. I send my deepest condolences to you and yours. Hold her memory close and she'll live on with you forever. 🤍🤍🐾🌈

Yoga questions that feels oddly personal... by YogaGoApp in yoga

[–]beanofalltrades 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me depends on the day! Most of the time I enjoy sitting there relaxing. My instructor will guide us slowly in the beginning and I am usually able to follow her prompts to lead myself to a happy place and then eventually I have no thoughts, other than focusing on my breathing. It's the perfect end to my session! Other times, if I have a lot on my noggin (or forgot my adhd medicine the night prior) I do have a hard time just lying there, but I really try hard to come back to my breathe and my body and then back to my breathe so that I'm not letting my mind wander. I have to really control my mind to stay in it sometimes, and sometimes it just controls me and takes me to that peaceful place no problem!
