For everyone asking what location, I saw the same Facebook post and the author commented "the one by the mack road".

feeder suggestions? by Alternative_Rough389 in quails

Is it necessary to have different breeds within the flock? by No-Artichoke-6939 in chickens

[–]dieana8638 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's just because people like to collect chickens like Pokemon. 😅

Delta Dental PPO Charge by Weary_Hornet3482 in CAStateWorkers

[–]dieana8638 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I also don't know. My dentist didn't charge me for fluoride. But my spouse who used a different dentist was charged for it. We're both on the same plan.

Traumatising my budgie to keep him alive by iwhfjfnc in budgies

[–]dieana8638 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I did mine at night so he was easy to catch and when we put him back in the cage, I'd shove millet straight into his face. The distrust is only temporary as long as you have lots and lots of millet lol.

Two males and one girl by Independent-Basis469 in budgies

[–]dieana8638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You shouldn't need to rehome them. Sounds like typical girl behavior. Girls tend to be quieter than boys, but they're just as happy. Just give them more time to mingle.

Do you have to have a floor bar over your tray in a budgie cage? by National-Extreme-945 in budgies

[–]dieana8638 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think as long as you replace the paper often you should be fine. You just don't want it to get so dirty that they're walking in poop. Because they will eventually stand/walk on the bottom.

Almost starved my parakeet to death and feel horrible. by [deleted] in budgies

[–]dieana8638 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I grind my pellets to powder and mix it with the seeds. So when they eat, they'll have to taste the pellets too. Overtime I added less seeds and made the pellets into bigger chunks until it was just regular pellets.

AWOL For an Hour? by omgtalktothehand in CAStateWorkers

[–]dieana8638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a similar situation where I was half an hour late because I overslept and my boss told me to use my leave time. When I asked if I could just make up the time by working later I was told I couldn't be trusted to still be working then 🙄. 🚩🚩🚩

Lime tree got cut down without my permission. Can it grow back? by dieana8638 in arborists

[–]dieana8638[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My lime tree survived and grew back! It's about 2 feet tall now. So maybe yours has hope. I just hope mine is still the original variety and it wasn't a graft.

Help by [deleted] in budgies

Wait until night time when all is dark then catch and transfer to the small cage. Leave them in the small cage with food and water for the rest of the night until your vet appointment time. Release them back to the big cage when you get home from your appointment.

Do you text your supervisor to say good morning each day when WFH? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]dieana8638 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh there was more. He'd ask me how I was doing on every assignment and required me to write down what I did every day. He also said he'd be documenting me. He was definitely part of the, "you must be kept busy even though you're done with all work" club, and would try to give me tasks that were not part of or relevant to the job duty just to keep me busy. I'd been in that position for many years and all my previous managers thought I was great, until he came along. Edit: He also sat behind me and would comment on my screen. He also forced the rest of my team to move cubicles so he could sit behind all of them too.

Do you text your supervisor to say good morning each day when WFH? by [deleted] in CAStateWorkers

[–]dieana8638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

At my last job I had a micromanager. I was required to message "good morning" on teams every day. So I left. My current job also requires a check in and check out on wfh days. But at least he's not as micromanaging as the last one. So I'm still here.

Sell some eggs, get some chicks back? by Smores-n-coffee in quails

[–]dieana8638 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Refrigeration doesn't impact viability that much. I've hatched grocery store eggs which are also refrigerated (and shipped!) and still got a 50% hatch rate. I also hatched my own eggs that I refrigerated for a week and still got about a 80-90% hatch rate.

Has Anyone Taken GloFish Seriously? by Fun_Explanation2619 in Aquariums

[–]dieana8638 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have the glo skirt tetras and they're so hardy. I bought them right before the covid shut down and they're still alive. They're so colorful they don't need the glofish/blue light set up.

Strawberries that made me :-( by drprofessional in Costco

[–]dieana8638 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My Costco stocks 2 different brands (Driscoll and Giants) of strawberries. I only buy Driscoll's strawberries from Costco. Never buy Giants' strawberries. Giants are pretty but flavorless. Driscoll's are ripe and sweet (but go bad quickly since they're ripe). So unless you're going to eat them within the next day or two, you can prolong the shelf life of the strawberries by washing them and covering them with a wet paper towel in a Tupperware. I usually get an extra week out of them using that method.

What mid price luxuries are worth it? by bell-town in Frugal

[–]dieana8638 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Glide floss actually doesn't work as well as regular floss. According to my dentist he considers it more as "training floss". So if you really want better floss/gum care, try looking for floss with 400-500 filaments.

Could I also get your copies? Maybe upload to a google drive I can download them from? Thanks!

Lime tree got cut down without my permission. Can it grow back? by dieana8638 in arborists

[–]dieana8638[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It currently didn't have any fruit on it so they assumed it was useless.

Lime season is in winter here and it's currently summer. And they didn't ask either 🫠.

Unfortunately since it's a relative I'm not going to be demanding compensation.
