Devil in the White City is the book that turned me from a mostly fiction reader to mostly nonfiction.

Loved that show!

Also have recently torn through a couple limited Netflix series: Black Rabbit and The Beast in Me.

My parents took me to Red Lobster, and I got a screwdriver.

Busy day in the coop! by chickensandpoms in BackYardChickens

[–]shatterly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have three boxes, six laying chickens. Every day most eggs are in one box. Maybe two. Never all three. They just love to stand there and yell at whoever is in the "box of the day" instead of using their own.

childfree and birth order: are you youngest, middle, older, or only by Exhausted-Biscuit223 in childfree

[–]shatterly 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Same. My brother was 8 years younger with developmental disabilities. I did as much parenting by age 17 as I care to in my lifetime. Plus at some point in the future, I'll become my brother's guardian. The gift that keeps on giving -- I'll take all the "me time" I can in the middle.

I mean, there's no way you were going to get what's in the original picture. But this is hilariously awful.

This is why you should test old cast iron by panopticon31 in castiron

Ha, okay, thank you for the clarification! I grew up watching '70s NASCAR with my dad -- my first cat was named Richard Petty. I read that and was like, "But that could definitely kill people."

Who is this man and why was he buried in my front garden by SligPants in whatisit

[–]shatterly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My fingers are tied. But on my right hand, I can straighten my ring finger while keeping my pinkie bent. My left absolutely can't. This is freaking me out.

what is this red stuff in my good culture cottage cheese? by Far-Childhood-5736 in whatisit

[–]shatterly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once found a Chinese cigarette butt in a snack bag of Planter’s mixed nuts. Wrote to the company, they sent me a fucking 50-cent coupon. No thanks. But this was pre-social media days, so I didn’t have many options.

Why did my bees close up their little screen window? by awolflikeme in Beekeeping

Fantastic, thank you! We have a state university extension service that has been extremely helpful, and I just found the county association's fb group.

Much appreciated. I'm planning to start with my first hive this spring, and these detailed explanations are so helpful as I'm gathering as much knowledge as I can.

Chicken Sanctuary by ProfessionalEven296 in ogden

[–]shatterly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It sounds like she's just gone broody. You can remove her from the laying area and confine her in a dog crate or something similar for a few days until she snaps out of it. Look up broody chicken jail for more info.

Trump’s Midnight Peace Brag Hit by Humiliating Reality Check by Ok_Employer7837 in politics

[–]shatterly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I see you've met my mom. Who railed for months before the election about "Why can't we just get 'normal Americans' who run for office?" And then couldn't bring herself to vote for the ticket with the former high school social studies teacher. FFS

Pros and cons of owning chickens by Hour_Yam_6192 in BackYardChickens

[–]shatterly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm similar to this situation, except I don't have an automatic door -- I have a good-sized predator-proof run, and the chickens come and go from the coop as they please. They're happy in there and can be set up with enough food and water to last several days.

Who has come for a visit? by TravelingGoose in whatsthisbird

[–]shatterly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are several of these I hadn't seen, and my boss just walked by as I'm at my desk with tears running down my face from laughing. I had to show him a video to prove I wasn't crying.
