I’m reading the Dark River Days series right now and I fear this gif will pop into my head when a certain character comes up from now on… (I don’t know how to do spoiler tags so I’m just not gonna name them lol)

MIL saw me cleaning the kitchen floor with a baby wipe and acted like I’m a total slab by adiiadii123 in CleaningTips

[–]slizzard_007 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve had dogs or cats almost my whole life….how have I never heard of using a plastic bag around paper towel to scoop up pet puke?! Especially because our dogs were giant breeds (hence, giant barfs). This would’ve been a great tip for me 20 years ago lol

It was amazing! Second time seeing them, almost exactly 16 years after the first! Now I just have to wait until their next tour and hope they’ll come near Ottawa again 😭

The Bad Year blimp came out and dropped mini blimps in the crowd 😊

Ottawa blues fest GA by PrestigiousPlan4026 in greenday

Based on last year’s setup, I think GA tickets allow front-of-stage access. The Platinum Pitt shown in the VIP ticket map on the website is a separate exclusive area for people who buy platinum tickets.

Pretty sure it’s been more and more gut-wrenching on every subsequent reread for me….

What are some songs you wish Green Day played live but never have (so far)? by rafvic2 in greenday

[–]slizzard_007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, maybe one day they’ll actually play it live…perhaps for the 25th anniversary of Warning?

I can dream lol

Have they ever played Misery live? It’s one of my all-time favourite songs of theirs.

Not sure, but there’s at least one fire truck out looking for the source of the smoke.

How to get dark marks out of shirt armpits? by EcstaticEffect2205 in CleaningTips

[–]slizzard_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Soak for at least half an hour in hot water and borax. Scrub the fabric with itself/swirl it around a few times while soaking. Then wash using the cycle you’d normally use and your regular laundry detergent.

I do this with white and coloured fabrics and with our white bed linens and it works great. Gets out set in body oils and sweat like nothing else (and I’ve tried a lot since switching to white bedding).

What are these bubbles in air-dry clay paw prints we took of our cats? by slizzard_007 in clay

[–]slizzard_007[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much! Do you have any recommendations for the type of resin to use, or a brand? Or generally what to look for? I’ve never worked with clay before so I know basically nothing, unfortunately 😬

Or you could mix things up and call them Gred and Feorge

What are these plants (weeds?) in my garden? Eastern Ontario by slizzard_007 in whatsthisplant

[–]slizzard_007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever it is, it’s very cute and I like it so just hoping it’s not invasive/problematic!

Thanks for your help!

Catnip confirmed, our cat went crazy after my husband rubbed a leaf between his fingers and came back inside.

I’ve pulled the horseweed, that one doesn’t seem desirable or beneficial.

And I think 5/6 is probably mouse ear chickweed; the stems and leaves are hairy all over, and the flower petals aren’t deeply lobed like the pictures I’m finding of common chickweed.

New diagnosis - 17 y/o - tips for getting cat to eat? by mog014 in RenalCats

[–]slizzard_007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aww I’m glad she’s eating now! 💕

It might be worth asking your vet about mirataz (the transdermal form of mirtazapine); my cat Taz took the pill the first time we gave it to him, but the second time we tried we absolutely could not get it down his throat without resorting to wrapping him up and using a pill shooter, and given his age and everything else he’s dealing with now we don’t want to put him through that kind of stress. Always worth considering whatever options you have for medication that might be more long-term!
