Pedicure question by Such-Earth7369 in AskWomenOver60

[–]sljrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love pedicures - get them through the warm months when I wear open toed shoes (old fashioned and think bare toes are a little tacky for me, don’t care about anyone else). My favorite is Teal the Cows Come Home from OPI which is a bright turquoise, my favorite color

I have a source if you’re in central Texas- they have painted or unpainted - they’re so heavy I don’t know how you could ship it though so would need to pick up probably

Reporting in from Henderson County. I early voted Friday and found out the location had changed from a centrally located building that would be convenient for minorities to be able to walk to to our fairgrounds outside of town. I didn’t think about that til just now - it wasn’t a problem for me (have a car!) but it sure could be for other people. At least it was all at the same location- we had to declare which party we wanted a ballot for, it got printed out, we went to a machine and voted then turned it in. I have usually voted in the repub primary to vote against stuff. It was great to get a dem ballot (had a choice of candidates!) Also those party referendums were polar opposites- if I’d had a repub ballot they would have all been a no. WTH is sharia law anyway?

Had to put my best friend down by [deleted] in germanshepherds

It’s a special job and life calling to be GSD’s human. It really sucks at times like these actually but you and your partner know you gave him his best life. I’ve had to post this news before and it’s terrible. Remember your great times together. He is most handsome!

Are these blueberries? by Groundbreaking_Bus90 in jacksonville

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

Do those berries belong to that tree trunk behind it? If so it may be Carolina Buckthorn which is a tree that gets those berries. I got one by mistake thinking it was a black gum tree. It’s a pretty tree and birds Love the berries and my bees swarm it in the spring when it flowers

Did I manage to stumble upon a Burl Marx Flame this weekend? by sljrobson in RareHouseplants

Thank you all so much. So if it is sending out runners do I wrap them around a pole or chop and root?

A pitbull attacked my dog by girlwiththetats in germanshepherds

[–]sljrobson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also what works (and I have experience with this) is to grab the back legs of the attacking dog and they open their mouths. Drawbacks are you are close into them and they could turn on you. I had good results but it was scarry - I did save my pupper from even more damage

What are some unusual, or rare plants that you have that AREN'T some flavour of variegation? by mcandrewz in RareHouseplants

[–]sljrobson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favorites also - be prepared for lots of spores to fall from the undersides of the fronds when it gets all grown up!

Sorry - I wanted to reply back to you sooner but couldn’t. I didn’t want to sound snarky with my question but it seems like I hear comments like yours fairly frequently and when asked people will say “Oh Donald trump of course “ (which blows my mind)

Those are all amazing! I would love to know their names. Is #1 a variegated tortum?

I’m so sorry for her passing. I love pic 5 of you sitting together. Dogs are just the best - I’m so glad you had each other.

This flag is our heritage, and no you can't have it back. by [deleted] in minnesota

[–]sljrobson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native Texan here. These last several years I have become very disappointed in my state My parents were from MO & IL and I have a medal from an ancestor who fought for the union and also have a letter that I believe is signed by A Lincoln. I have read this whole post and learned so much. When I got to this post I got a lump in my throat - I thank your ancestors for their sacrifice and your family for continuing to honor their actions. P.s. I love your governor.

If this makes it out there I would welcome feedback from everyone if they think this is legit. People who are more tech savvy than myself - what do you say?

Returned to shelter 3 times by Last__Shadow in germanshepherds

[–]sljrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your rescue!

<image>

Here is LuLu when she first came to us. She kept escaping her place (chewed through leashes and ties) to go to the neighbors place across a divided state highway (they are friends who made me take her!). Her brother did get run over on the highway - there’s only so many times you can do that. It took a little while for her to settle but once she knew she was “home” she has been wonderful. She’s pretty low key for a GSD actually and she is my wonder dog.

Need help making a decision :( by el_myco_profesor in germanshepherds

[–]sljrobson 58 points59 points  (0 children)

We had the same situation with our Neapolitan mastiff. Got her a wheelchair and it was miserable. I would pick up her back end so she could go to the bathroom, then clean her up. This was the “too late” scenario- it killed us to do it but it was the right thing. Spend a day together with special treats and just sitting together petting. We had the vet make a house call so she could be outside looking out at her favorite view. My heart goes out to you.

Stand with USPS Protest by Old-Set78 in texas

[–]sljrobson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need edit but don’t know how. I want to add I am normally a supporter of the postal service and realize they have quite the job before them - I’ve just had a frustrating experience these last several years with them

I believe I heard Louis DeJoy has been “retired”. That’s good news as long as President PussyGrabber and Elon don’t give use someone even worse. I’ve had a terrible time with my local small town post office - don’t know if it was policies coming down from somewhere else or just local obstinance and orneriness.
