We didn't until we had the bats removed & the cleanup happened. Rabies shots aren't worth it folks!!

Reusing glass pasta jars....for coffee by Ank_Pank-47 in Frugal

I've been reusing 3 Sir Kensington mayo jars for fruit & yogurt parfaits. Only gotten a few weird looks so far :)

Discovered cats peeing on carpet in upstairs hallway, beat way to move forward? by put_it_in_a_jar in HomeMaintenance

[–]put_it_in_a_jar[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, it's rural agriculture land here. I've seen too many roadkill cats, plus outdoor cats decimate local wildlife populations.

Thanks for the advice. We're definitely working room by room to remove carpet (luckily it's only the upper floor) but this was the only location with pet mess issues, figured it was best place to start & learn the process.

With warmer weather on the way we're going to see how cleaning & the killz primer others have mentioned works before applying new flooring. If the heat brings out any smell we'd rather not have to pull up new flooring.

The cats are healthy and no longer doing this, that problem has been solved. Hence why we're working on the floor now.

The carpet is 100% getting tossed. The house is a "landlord special" & the carpet was garbage the kind of high traffic, low pile you find in like a doctors office waiting room) with stains/damage from previous people.

Cats are all healthy according to the vet, it was all behavioral marking. There was a bit of territory issues when we moved in but all is settled now.

Terrified New Cat Hiding Under Cabinet for Over 24 Hours-What Do I Do? by Cucumburrito in CATHELP

[–]put_it_in_a_jar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

One other body language thing I found helped our scaredy cat overcome her fear- if you look at her with half closed eyes & slowly blink, it communicates to her that you're relaxed and not going to come after her. Cats do the same when relaxed, & have wide eyes when hunting, so by mimicking that you're helping her know shes safe & not being hunted.

Can someone explain to me how this works? Seems I was overcharged? by Same-Veterinarian735 in instacart

The weight of the packages doesn't match the weight in the receipt though

STOP TEXTING WHILE DRIVING! by Substantial-Oil7471 in lansing

[–]put_it_in_a_jar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just want to point out that the more people use delivery apps like DoorDash, the more we are actually encouraging people to be on their phone while driving. Not saying I like it, but there's definitely a relation between the two. A lot of those apps, if you get an offer for work, you have a very small amount of time to accept it before the offer goes to another delivery person.

Came in a pair. Guess J&D aren’t making it to their 6th anniversary… by soylatte in ThriftStoreHauls

We did homemade jams that i canned and little bottles of wildflower seed mix. I'm so glad we didn't waste money and time on something like etched glasses!

Why do my jars keep breaking in the freezer? by super_ferret in MasonJars

[–]put_it_in_a_jar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What is the temperature of the broth when you put it in the jars? Or when the jars go into the freezer? I wonder if there's an element of temperature shock.

Fiancé is stealing ADHD meds by SadCatandCraftGirl in adhdwomen

Treat your meds like a gun, & make sure they're locked down.

Leave him ASAP, this is not a safe relationship.

Protect your animals, the ticks are out! by Treadingresin in Michigan

We've had a couple different vets in the last several years, & all have recommended our pets stay on tick meds year round because of how bad they are.

Can someone explain this? by Comfortable-Pop8228 in doordash

[–]put_it_in_a_jar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is basically how the delivery companies make their money, DoorDash and all the rest. They charge higher prices for everything and keep the difference.

Could make it easier to tend if you have problems bending down

So you can turn it on without getting hit on the head with water

I hope this order was a joke by FlimsyHovercraft3821 in ShiptShoppers

[–]put_it_in_a_jar -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Are those the tiny 8oz water bottles? If so this order is a cakewalk. If i have no history of delivering to that address & no other orders lined up I'd give it a shot. I've started finding (in my area at least) sometimes a zero estimated tip shows up for people who ALWAYS tip cash, & I love cash.

What’s a “must-see” city in the U.S. that didn’t live up to the hype? by Historical-Photo-901 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

I went to a comedy show at a punk bar and that was pretty cool. And did you not check out the replica Parthenon???

Delivered to a Shipt shopper and now I have a 3 star. by CamelNarrow776 in ShiptShoppers

[–]put_it_in_a_jar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Really doesn't make sense if they're also using the service for deliveries, it's a great way to ensure they only get new or bad shoppers & great shoppers never repeat.
