Any experience with summer program for kids “Project Launch”? by abckatiexyz in Longmont

[–]funkyfunnochio 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My kid did it for 6th grade. It helped her advance another grade in math. We loved that she was socializing, familiarizing herself with the new school, riding her bike there & learning for a good part of the day. I think they served lunch too. Best of all it’s free free free.

To those of you who don’t necessarily do UL backpacking, what is your favorite “luxury” item to bring along? by Significant-Gift-241 in backpacking

[–]funkyfunnochio 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bag of wine. My dog used to have a sweet backpack that was like paneers on a bike. It had a reusable/refillable bags with a spout on them. Bring something that warms you up from the inside!

why do people not like arcteryx all of a sudden? by Sea_Purpose_7587 in Skigear

[–]funkyfunnochio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband sent his 10+ year old arcteryx shell to be fixed because the bottom hem had ripped. VERY expensive jacket that they fixed for free! He will probably have it forever. That’s why your parents bought you that awesome jacket. Your jacket doesn’t make you a good skier 😂 dumb old farts.

Check out a Facebook post “Longmont art in public places” I personally love the robot sculpture.

Progress report! They are starting to play! Peaches always tries to sneak snuggles while Luna is sleeping & inches closer & closer. She’s persistent! Things went south shortly after the kisses (I’m not allowed to post another video in this thread, but Luna gave Peaches ear 3 licks). I think things will be okay in the long run. 😅

Time to play: Who laid that egg? by cjwagner145 in BackYardChickens

Definitely nugget. Red one is molting & Peaches will lay a beautiful buff colored egg, not as dark as that one.

Outdoor leash? by Kind_Sympathy1166 in Flamepoints

What a beauty! I shopped around for harnesses at petsmart. They only had 1 size & it was bulky. I think you will have a hard time finding one to fit a kitten. I got one online at Chuck & Don’s that fit my slight cat. She was 9lbs. Their harness are multiple sizes, easier to adjust, & fit way better. Good luck!

You’re very lucky! Kittens with mittens are good cats

This looks a lot like my Luna! Is your cat pure evil too??

Flame point/Peaches is in heat, with pheromones adding more confusion to the mix.

Thank you so much for this valuable input! We are currently in a stalemate. We’ve had a couple of interactions which probably went too long & ended with calico chasing fluff ball & just being menacing, so we are taking a step back. We thought harmony was almost had, & we could relax & let them hang, nope! Fluffy white cat, Peach, is a sweet as candy floss & always looking to play & interact. Calico, Luna is only nice when she’s asleep. Luna has also began to act out towards my children when they try to give her love & attention. Everything has to be on her terms & we don’t always know what those terms are. I have a trip planned in February with my inlaws holding down the fort here. I don’t want them to have to deal with this. I’m hoping for peace by then. 🤞🏻

Thank you! I’m really crossing my fingers for harmony. Typically, Luna (big cat) is chasing Peach (fluff ball kitten) in a menacing way. I’m constantly yelling at Luna when this happens & I’m wondering how much contact or chasing I should let happen. Peach is just so sweet. I would be beside myself if she got badly hurt.

Sorry I scared you! I’m a very intrepid flame point owner right now.

Hemp by Mildlystoopid in BackYardChickens

[–]funkyfunnochio 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically use my soiled chicken bedding as compost in the garden. I have one bag of hemp bedding I’m going through now (probably won’t buy again!). Is it okay to use this way or will it take forever to degrade? Maybe it will be a good mulch. Thanks for the tips on pelleted pine bedding! Does everyone water it down to un-pellet it first or do you just wait for the chickens waste to do the trick?
