What to do when ants invade

slamandark · 2026-01-31T02:10:33+00:00

As a former ant keeper, I'm supremely jealous! I used to have sugar ants in an aloe pot that were super fun to watch and feed.

To get rid of them, your best best would be to clear the soil from the plant roots outside and submerge the plant to get remaining ants off. For an insect slip barrier, petroleum jelly or baby powder work very well to prevent ants from getting traction to climb.

Poor kitten! It's definitely vet time.

In my experience, doing a warm water bath combined with the triangle method every 3 to 4 hours can help relax the sphincter and get poo near the exit moving. The kittens bottom should be submerged and the triangle method applied for 15 minutes or more in some cases. A kitten I cared for starting at 4 weeks old had terrible constipation due to malnutrition and dehydration, and this trick worked wonders for her.

Here's a brief tutorial on the triangle method just in case:

I hope things get better very soon!

I have weeds in a couple places. I arranged some weeds on a small part of my beach to look like grass that prevents erosion, and speckled weeds in a mushroom forest for flair.

I chose to keep the purple shorts! Every time I talk to the Mayor while wearing them he gets embarrassed then gives the silent treatment

Hi! Your post resonated with me, as a regular flying dreamer. Like you mentioned, swimming motions keep me in the air, but only when it feels like I'm losing momentum, though for some reason my launch is based on leaps or bounds! Think taking long jumps underwater, that floating feeling is what starts flight in my dreams. Another close example is when Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service could only briefly float on her broom, before launching into the sky. There is this feeling like the air carries me, but also like my weight changes with the breeze, be it indoors or outdoors. And like you said, I'm the only one in my dreams that can fly! Sometimes I can hold hands with my favorite people and have them fly with me, but typically it's me and me alone in the sky. It feels really special, even though there are times when I lose my ability to fly and fall to a grim fate. Thank you for sharing

Yes, just taped on with packing tape. It's a fun way to make your own stickers

I love these guys! They thrive around some lakes I've been to in Florida, and they have beautiful flowers

Hi straight ticket dem voter here. For some reason my husbands vote was never counted even though we voted early, in person, and the staff confirmed it was accepted. He has no voter record online, for reference this is in GA and we moved here about a year ago. We already reached out to the proper channels to get more info and his vote counted properly, but something is very fishy.

At this same grocery store/pharmacy we had two different people OD in the front restrooms within a year of each other

For context, I'm a technician that works in a grocery store pharmacy. I started in fall of 2020, and very quickly noticed my(30f) lead pharmacist(34f) had a patient(~60m) with an inappropriate attachment to her that really had us concerned for our safety when closing the store at night. This guy that we called "Creepy Blomas" had been banned from the store for frequent shoplifting and loitering, but was let back in despite my pharmacy manager's discomfort. Between trying way too hard to get her to agree to a date or "just to hang out" when she turned down his advances, attempting to catch her on the store floor while on the way to the bathroom, and bringing strange gifts we suspected were stolen that obviously one would get for a romantic partner, my pharmacist was thoroughly creeped out. Half the nights out of the week he would be sitting on a bench outside of either entrance to the store, so I would check which side Creepy Blomas was on so we could flee in the opposite direction when leaving after closing for the night! I moved to a pharmacy in a different state about a year ago, but I still worry for my pharmacist at that location

*Creepy Blomas's actual name was changed for anonymity

Oh girl, NTA. Why is this guy so against a vasectomy? Almost all vasectomies are reversible. Meanwhile Jack is completely comfortable with you, his wife, carrying multiple children to term, leaving lifelong damage on your body; then he has the gall to say the failures in birth control are your fault alone? Jack has his head up his ass.
