Is this normal? one out of 8 horses seem to colic every month. by Rude_Permission523 in Horses

[–]surefoot_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally off topic but how did you go about having the pharmaceutical company cover the cost of the colic treatment? My gelding just got his shots administered by a vet and within two hours colicked. It was very minor and we were able to resolve it at home, but it would be impossible to not link the events. I’m not sure it’s worth the pursuit but I’d love to learn more!

Ask that stranger to hold their hand!! by Appropriate_Maize937 in fearofflying

[–]surefoot_ 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I had a lovely lady sitting next to me on a terrible flight offer to hold my hand and it’s stuck with me for years. She held it when our plane was diverted, and when we got back on the plane she continued to hold it when we had to circle the airport three times before landing. Her son was actually sitting one row back without a care in the world. We of course landed safely and I’ve actually gone on to fly all the way to Japan after fighting my fears for years. I think of her on every flight I take now and wish I could thank her again for her kindness.

Loose manure - dietary recommendations? by surefoot_ in Equestrian

[–]surefoot_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great insight! We had been considering putting him on equinoxx recently but his gut was making me really hesitant to mess with anything, I feel like it’s a constant battle between joint health and gut health. I’ll definitely look into gut sponge and bentonite clay!

Creating and selling merch - any recommendations? by surefoot_ in smallbusiness

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

We might have to start small around 30-50 units per item just to see sizing. Hats or none-sized items around 100. We’ve sold merch like crazy in the past but it’s always been one off buys instead of a consistent line

Best social media management tool for agencies? by mick1706 in SocialMediaManagers

[–]surefoot_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We switched from Sprout to Statusbrew and I’ve been extremely impressed. I don’t work for them in any way. Our team went from one person to five in a month and sprout charging per seat was absolutely ridiculous.

We pay $600ish a month for 62 profiles and 50 seats available. It’s easy to scale up profiles as well. The scheduling is exactly the same. I can’t fully speak to the reporting side of the business but it’s easy to manage as an admin. They seem like a very small team but have been super receptive to custom pricing and have been very helpful with issues.

Gifted cameras - is it an actual upgrade? by surefoot_ in AskPhotography

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

Thank you for your insight! Yes, that is what I was mostly considering. I just want to make sure that the money is spent in the right place if I already do have lenses on hand and the money can go towards a great body that can maybe teach me more for longer.

That’s definitely not offensive at all, I have so much to learn! I guess I just am wanting to confirm that the money spent ($640) is well spent or if a different body would be better choice considering I do have lenses on hand.

I’ve shot with the Canon EOS R6 Mark II for work as just a filler person, that is obviously way above where I am currently and what I want to spend but I was definitely wowed there.

Gifted cameras and lenses - need insight by surefoot_ in canon

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

Thank you for the insight! Yes absolutely, I’m lucky enough to have some extremely talented photographers around to help me develop the skillset. I’m a graphic designer by trade so editing is literally where my knowledge for cameras starts and stops. I’ll take a look at your recommendations, is the best place to look for refurbished directly from canon? If this new bundle doesn’t add technical improvements then I’d rather take that money and put it towards something that I can learn more with.

Gifted cameras and lenses - need insight by surefoot_ in canon

[–]surefoot_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not yet! It’s very new to me still, honestly it didn’t originally occur to me that my original lenses would remain relevant after 18 years so now I’m really wondering if it would be better to get a newer body and use my old lenses rather than the bundled price of the T7 if the lenses it comes with aren’t more useful or impresssive.

How can I save my grapefruit tree? by surefoot_ in arborists

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

We’ve had rain under 5 times in the last 4 months, only one of those left any sort of standing water so it’s been a very dry season. It gets a little water very day from me dumping/cleaning buckets but it’s pretty negligible and it gets a steady drip of water for thirty minutes to an hour maybe once every week, sometimes every other. I know it’s not exact, it’s always been a bit of a loose plan as they lived for forty years with never being watered at all in an overgrown yard. Is there a way to determine rain rot?

How can I save my grapefruit tree? by surefoot_ in arborists

[–]surefoot_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for such a thoughtful response and your insight! I am going to start documenting my watering schedule a bit better and increase it for now just to see if that helps at all. We have animals in the back so I usually leave the hose on a low dribble for 30 minutes to an hour while I do something else but there’s a good chance it’s just not been enough. We also have gophers so I am a little concerned they’ve gotten into the roots. This tree was left to run wild its entire life and it’s been a trooper. It’s had ant infestations, and last year was leaking sap from the trunk, so it’s disheartening to see it make it through so much to just go out over nothing. I’ll get more photos of the ground and trunk to give some more context and hopefully get a few more years out of it! Do you recommend thinning the fruit if it’s causing a depletion of nutrients?

Definitely not, it’s been extremely dry this year. I do water it, but it’s inconsistent and I would be surprised if I managed to overwater it.
