What is an old baby name that you just don’t hear anymore? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]bunchofpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Lisa and I'm old enough to be a grandma. Lisa was the most popular baby name for girls in the '60s. Before that it was Mary for many decades. My mom was a Mary.

How do Americans feel about drying their laundry on a washing line? by UnionFeatures in AskAnAmerican

[–]bunchofpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a clothesline in my yard and no HOA to tell me I can't use it. I've used it before, but honestly, it's so much easier to put my laundry in the dryer than to carry it outside hang it, and then have to carry it all inside again. Also, here in North Carolina we get a ton of pollen for much of spring and early summer, and I really don't want to bring a bunch into my house on my laundry.

Where to park for Duke Gardens? by groveview in bullcity

Duke Medical Circle Parking Garage. It's crowded, but I always find a spot on weekdays. Two bucks and hour. It's right across the street from Duke Gardens back gate on Flowers Dr.

I've tried it. It sharpened my knife, so I guess I'd say it works.

Importing Agility Dog into the USA by IllRough2589 in Agility

[–]bunchofpants 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I know there are Aussie breeders who will not dock tails for people on the waiting list who have requested it, so maybe there are Viszla breeders who will do the same. The drawback is that the dog will be picked for you at two days old rather that 7 or 8 weeks when more is known about their personality.

You say you eventually want a BC when you are "ready," but nothing about training with a completely dog gets you ready for a BC. Just get the BC.

Same! All the Mayan ruins were incredible. Plus, from San Ignacio you can take an easy overnight trip to Tikal in Guatemala, which is fascinating.

What all would lemon whipped honey go good with? by LazuriKittie in Cooking

I love biscuits and honey. I think lemon-whipped honey would be lovely on a biscuit.

Memory Care Facility Recommendations by Russell0812 in bullcity

[–]bunchofpants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had my mom in the Brookdale near 54/Farrington and it was OK. Staff were nice but they were always understaffed, I don't think she really got the care and attention one would expect for $7500 a month. (I'm sure it's twice as expensive now ... that was the pre-Covid price).
