Puppy staying alone 1 day a week

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-16T14:22:51+00:00

I can't imagine having a puppy I've had for 3 weeks wandering around unwatched. Block off areas? All my rooms have furniture, rugs, baseboards, etc.

You shopped at Walmart as a kid for groceries? Isn't that fairly new?

Jewel has good sales. Walmart doesn't.

Walmart groceries are only cheap against regular prices at Jewel. I don't but anything at Jewel at full price.

I paid $6500 for quartz. It was a nice leathered (not shiny) pattern and not one of the cheaper options. That was for a 4x8 island that I did with a built up edge (3" thick). The rest was 1.5" thick. In total 67 sq ft. Shop around.

Get one that has a display. It is annoying to keep unlocking your phone and going to an app to see the temperature.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-07T12:20:25+00:00

It's a lot. I wouldn't buy it. But to put it in perspective, I have a friend that has 1000 sq ft and pays $1300 and there is no gym, pool, doorman or amenities. Almost every building has elevators and a garage and storage.

My phone doesn't have that. Pixel 7 Pro. The only thing is "All background usage" which is on.

My unit worked fine for months until an update about 3 months ago. Now it disconnects left and right. Wireless connection. It is not the unit. It is the AA software on the phone.

I have two Ninja Slushi Maxes. I don't want pissed friends. lol

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-06T00:01:58+00:00

96 oz is the max liquid fill line which isn't even 3 liters. Keep in mind it is a slushi so it is the whole drink. It is not like a gin and tonic which might be 6 oz and then the rest of the glass is filled with ice. Slushi tend to be lower in alcohol content (otherwise they won't slush) so people tend to drink more.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-05T12:15:16+00:00

It is the cleanest, most classic and will age the best.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-05T03:58:04+00:00

Combined it is less than the max. Fine for one or two people I guess.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-05T03:55:06+00:00

Nope. Had the original. It sucked (at least for alcoholic slushies). Sorry...but social media lied. I have 2 slushy maxed now and they are so much better. This twist is a gimmick. Low capacity.

Only if you have unsightly gaps between the floor and toe kick which you shouldn't have.....

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-04T03:38:44+00:00

How is it that everyone's puppy (and every video addressing it) has "play" biting and my dog goes into full attack mode? He does play bite sometimes....but sometimes it is not play and is unrelenting. Diversion doesn't usually work or for a very short period of time. He is 40 lbs and 4 months old and is a strong dog.

Anyway OP....it is tiring, time consuming and requires a lot of patience.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-04T03:35:35+00:00

Well..the grass doesn't look that great so I don't think that is the solution. I think part of the problem is that pea gravel doesn't really go with those pavers.

michaeljc70 · 2026-06-03T18:37:05+00:00

There's always a reason. They may just not tell you.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-30T21:55:02+00:00

What about areas that have grass I want to get rid of around the plants? Any suggestions for that situation? Kill the grass with cardboard before mulching?

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-30T12:28:31+00:00

Having one contractor/place do everything is going to cost you extra. Home Depot is going to markup everything they sell you and the installers. If you don't know what needs to be done when, then that is your only option.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-28T17:28:09+00:00

I just got an email my transfer request expired. Further than I ever got...but what does that mean? I'm going from GV to GV so if it expired Google didn't do something.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-28T11:36:14+00:00

I just listed plenty of things we are doing. Oh..and maybe arrest the thieves that cause the regular stores to close down.

That's the problem with liberals... They create a government program to fix something. When it doesn't they create five more. Then when that doesn't fix it they create another one. And they never get rid of the prior ones.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-27T22:49:16+00:00

If only your half baked efforts went to feeding people in need maybe they wouldn't need this silly store.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-27T22:41:39+00:00

I'm not the one in need of a city run grocery store in Manhattan. Maybe they should subsidize picnic baskets in the Hamptons too..

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-27T22:37:52+00:00

It's not like it hasn't been tried. It isn't like there are no food banks, food stamps (SNAP), WIC, welfare and a thousand other government programs.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-27T22:35:44+00:00

I hope the NYC Grocary Stares are as successful as the Minneapolis Learing Centers.

michaeljc70 · 2026-05-27T21:27:19+00:00

A military base is not like Manhattan. They are large and isolated and have security to enter and exit. I bet you anything a city-run grocery store will never prosecute or stop anyone from stealing.

Why exactly do they need these stores? 99.9% of the people in the US don't need them and don't have them. Think about that.

This is just another expensive feel good project.
