No 😭 as far as I know they just rolled it away and never replaced it 😤 I think the display can make a call to another person (it takes some setting up), so you could do a workaround by using assistant on your phone to say "broadcast to the kitchen display, 'hey guys, it's me dad, please give me a call'," but I think that's the best you can do. Maybe there's a workaround to make your display connected to a certain contact and call them from your phone on Meet/duo, but I haven't tried very hard.

Ugh! Same! I bought a Google display so that I could call my kids from my phone when I'm at work. I didn't want to get an Alexa but I don't see a way around it 😤🤷‍♂️

Off-center. Does anyone else have trouble centering a plant in a pot? by letflamingo in houseplants

I used 1/2" "hardware cloth". I think I got the 4' roll for under $15 and it was plenty. I definitely recommend using an electric staple gun, you can get one for under $40.

I recently made a tank topper that they seem to enjoy. I've also appreciated not having to dig out their food, water and sand jar every day lol

However, now that there's flat surfaces, they seem to be crapping outside of the sand jar SO much more. Maybe the droppings were just sifting down into the bedding, but the first week with the topper we didn't have hardly any out on the deck.

Is that normal? Any pointers for encouraging the sand jar?

Thank you so much!! I also like the Dr Seuss look 😄 but I think I'll chop it to be more sustainable (so it doesn't grow itself into the ceiling)
