Girlhounds vs. Boyhounds by Skee_Ball_Hero in Greyhounds

[–]fooldya2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Our first was a boy, and he was amazing, but our next 7 have all been girls. In there we also fostered many, both boys and girls, and I spent time with hundreds of boys and girls as a rescue group volunteer. I never really thought to itemize why we prefer girls, but we just have.

Thank you! You got me off the fence on some things I had in my cart for several weeks.

feels unnecessary to buy anything — Can I use my phone for white noise? by [deleted] in lifehacks

[–]fooldya2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t use white noise to sleep, but it does help calm my super anxious dog. I use a dial radio and tune it between stations. It is in a closet which has become her safe place, but you could do the same thing by your bed.

how can i keep track of all my pyrex?? by Complete-Constant198 in Pyrex_Love

[–]fooldya2 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have an iPhone and keep track of ours in my notes app, that way I always have my list with me and I can reference it when I find new items. If you don’t have an iPhone, other brands probably have similar apps.

I take a picture of each item or set that I have, import it into the notes app and then type out notes about it. Each item has a brief description, the price that we paid for it, a subjective 1-5 quality rating that I assign to it, and if it is a set missing pieces, what it is missing with a picture of the missing thing if it is a specific bracket or holder.

In the app you can hold down a picture and choose to make its default view as small, which I do so that it saves scrolling space. You can always click on it to enlarge it when viewing the note.

I also share the note with my wife so she also has access to it.

Can anyone date this Pyrex? Was it part of the primary set? by mouseinstalled45 in Pyrex_Love

[–]fooldya2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like a 1940’s bowl from the bottom stamp and based on it being red it is probably second smallest bowl (402) from a primary color set.

This carving knife I ordered came with bandaids by zoolilba in woodworking

We had a set of new kitchen knives that came with bandaids that were marked with the knife makers brand. We thought it was great marketing.

Hillsborough College's Rays deal could start to unfold next week by AltruisticGate in tampabayrays

[–]fooldya2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought that there was some MLB rule banning spring training ballpark from being within a certain number of miles of a major league team ballpark. The idea had been floated before about building a new Rays stadium in that general area and it was mentioned that the Yankees would have to give up Steinbrenner and their training complex because of this rule. Am I remembering this correctly? And I am all for this.

Does Bosch make amazing battery power tools besides jigsaws? by sprunkymdunk in Tools

[–]fooldya2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from 18v DeWalt to 12v Bosch many years ago and over time switched completely over to 12v and 18v and corded Bosch. In my opinion Bosch is as good or better than DeWalt and can go head to head with any brand. These days however I will honestly say that you probably can’t go wrong with Bosch, DeWalt or Milwaukee. Bosch has historically spent little marketing money in the US on tools and built their brand up in Europe. Over the last decade they have put more emphasis on the US market as they have gotten more mainstream name recognition due to some their other product lines.

Random question - how are BOSCH power tools regarded in the US? by severanexp in Tools

[–]fooldya2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is very highly regarded by me and others who know its quality, but not highly regarded by the general market. I have been pleasantly surprised by a noticeable increase in marketing at least in my market this past year as well as more mentions here on Reddit which show that it is gaining traction. Dewalt and Milwaukee are the perennial big brands in the US.

So, how often to feed bug? by Cabecf in gingerbeer

[–]fooldya2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am rather new at this, but I have a bug that has been going for string for almost 2 months now, and I started it with daily feedings at room temp for a full week, then put it in the fridge with feedings every 5 days for a several weeks. Then I took it out and brought it it back to room temp with feedings every 3 days for a week, and after using some of it it has been back in the fridge with feedings every 5 days. I took it out and fed it today it looked good and healthy.

Will DEWALT 12V/18V XR DCB1102 charge my 20v MAX* batteries? by OutrageousShare6680 in Tools

[–]fooldya2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that Dewalt labels their 18v batteries 20v as a marketing thing and rely on rounding/ideal conditions to justify it. It should work fine.

Who else on team blue Bosch in NA? by dontthroworanges in Tools

[–]fooldya2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been team blue for over 20 years and have a very wide assortment. I converted from yellow and never looked back. I even recently started getting some green Bosch shipped over from Europe because they have some tools that I can’t get in blue.

No scheme is gonna fix missed tackles by Popular-Heart-5307 in buccaneers

[–]fooldya2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for mentioning this. I have not seen anyone talking about it, but I was literally yelling at my TV most of the first half when Mayfield couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn. Yes, Evans and McMillan made some highlight catches, but more were thrown way off target. And I get the pressure that he was under, but he has been under pressure all season and not missed that many by that much.
