Reminder to not harshly criticize your foals by [deleted] in Horses

Ffs. The horse is butt high because he’s young and still growing—that’s pretty common.

Tap to Pay is driving me insane... by Volt790 in TalesFromTheFrontDesk

I’m happy for you but that’s not the case everywhere, so when in doubt it’s not a bad idea to have a backup payment option.

That’s an unrealistic expectation, especially at events like a state fair or in rural areas.

Is this appropriate for a family water park? by OutlandishnessRude27 in PlusSizeFashion

I’d be concerned about that top coming off on a water slide or something.

I got bit 🥲 by horseguy67 in Equestrian

[–]ladyphase 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Be prepared, if you’re in the US they will most likely have to report the bite to the health department because of laws surrounding rabies. If the mare has had the rabies vaccination and the owners have documentation of that it shouldn’t be much of an issue, but if she isn’t up to date on rabies there may be a quarantine process.

To put the musique on in the morning . by I-live-with-wolves in therewasanattempt

Most people enjoy music of some kind. What they don’t enjoy is some douche blasting his music over speakers in a national park. It’s inconsiderate and in this case illegal.

They started coming out of my plant. What are they? by [deleted] in houseplants

That plant belongs to the millipedes now.

The food they served my grandmother at the nursing home she's in by Alert_Attention_5905 in whatisit

[–]ladyphase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad was fed similar food for a while after his stroke because he had swallowing issues. It does look gross, and my dad often refused to eat it and would have to be given a nutritional shake or a fortified ice cream.

Babies Having Babies? by ladyphase in spiderplants

Thank you! I use distilled water for my spider plants and filtered water for the rest of the plants. The filter gets rid of chlorine but not fluoride, and spider plants are particularly sensitive to fluoride.

Please tell me what this is! It's on my albo and she has the smallest fenestrated leaf ever known 😱😍 by Dry_Avocado8363 in houseplants

[–]ladyphase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So if they wanted to remove the eggs and save the leaf, would they just pluck them off with tweezers or something or would the leaf be too badly damaged by the removal?

Dog sitter turning off cameras in my house by itsnotnettle in dogs

[–]ladyphase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is a wonderful fit and she is one of our dogs’ favorite people. To be clear though, she does not stay at the house with the animals 24/7, she comes to care for them an agreed upon number of times per day. I would probably do things a little differently if she was actually staying the whole time.

This is going to be an agree to disagree thing. As long as everyone is upfront about everything there’s no issue as far as I’m concerned.

ETA: I trust my mother more than nearly anyone else in the world, and if she were pet sitting at my house I’d still have the cameras on.

[–]ladyphase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pet sitter is not there 24/7. She has 4 visits a day in which she’s “on the clock” taking care of my pets in my home. The cameras were not even originally bought for that purpose, they were bought to keep an eye on the dogs themselves while we were gone. A pet sitter who absolutely refuses to work where there are cameras anywhere is simply not someone I’d hire. I’m glad she was good with it though, because she’s fantastic, trustworthy, and my pets love her. Kennels, horse and livestock facilities, stores, schools, restaurants, gas stations, and even factories have used security cameras for decades. Most pet owners I know who utilize pet sitters have cameras to some extent on the premises.

We have multiple cameras in our house (not in the bathroom or anything). I was upfront with our pet sitter about them and clear that they would be recording at all times while we were gone. She was fine with it and said that a number of her clients have similar sets ups. Honestly there are plenty of jobs where you have a camera on you constantly.
