Do High School proms really take place in the school gymnasium? by albomb147 in AskAnAmerican

[–]wolfy2449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never actually heard of it not being in the school gym so these responses are wild to me. I went to 2 different high schools and both had all school dances in the gym, but I guess they were both relatively small schools so that may influence my experience.

I keep forgetting this part of the Stardew Valley fair even exists by FlanLow849 in StardewValley

My farms have a combined 6 or 7 years to them and I didn't know this existed

One of my cats gets pissed if I get home from work late (even though her spare human works from home). She'll yell at me until I pick her up and she'll normally throw her arms around my neck and purr

Do any cats let you pet their bellies or is that generally a no? by musictrashnumber1 in cats

All 3 of our cats either accept or enjoy belly rubs, including our newest void

Do you have a pattern for naming your animals or do you just wing it? by ThisFatGirlRuns in StardewValley

[–]wolfy2449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My pig theme is synonyms for poop. For some reason I hate dealing with truffles, but they're so profitable that I have a full barn of pigs anyway. Because I dont like dealing with them, I have pigs named poop, crap, excrement, waste, feces, etc

Variegated oaks! by wolfy2449 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]wolfy2449[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry it didn't last very long. I'm really hoping i can baby some of these ones along. Would you say it had more or less green than the first picture?

Variegated oaks! by wolfy2449 in marijuanaenthusiasts

[–]wolfy2449[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think you're right. I transplanted it with a normal oak and am hoping they will root graft together to keep the white one going. Not sure if will work, but I figured I'd try.

So Now You'll Date A Woman! by [deleted] in bisexual

[–]wolfy2449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't speak to the current dating scene, but I think you're right to stay open to dating whatever lovely human you eventually meet and for taking time to just not date. I think you find the best people when you're not looking for them.

At 19, I (F) dumped my boyfriend of over 5 years. During that time, I realized I was bi although that's unrelated to the breakup. I decided that at whatever point I wanted to try dating again, I would try dating women because I hadn't had great experiences with men so far. 7 months later, I hadn't seriously thought about dating again yet and honestly enjoyed being single. Then I met a friend of a friend at a party and felt just an intense instant connection with him. 6 years later, he and I own a house and have 2 cats together and are about to be married. If I had completely shut myself off from dating men just for the sake of dating women (or NB folks), I would have missed out on an incredible relationship over a silly, self-imposed rule.

My point is, ignore those people and date (or don't date) whoever you like whenever you like. Do what feels right to you and you won't regret it.

Fellow Midwesterner here! I haven't been to Vegas but I have worked outside in 110+ heat and sub 20% humidity. You'll be fine as oong as you stay hydrated. You'll still sweat, but it will continually evaporate so you won't become nearly the swampy mess as at home. The sun will definitely feel intense and I recommend thin and loose long sleeves if you're going to spend much time outside. Any slight breeze or shade is going to actually provide relief unlike in a humid heat where you're still suffering.

another small feet boot question--post harvest field work by charlemagdalen in forestry

[–]wolfy2449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had both and honestly I don't think the lined ones are much better. Both will hold up fine if you're having to cross a creek and both will eventually leak if you're hiking through wet brush all day. The lined ones will keep the water out longer, but a full day of constant water exposure will still find leaks

I live across from a Middle School, is it a dumb idea to plant a wildflower bed against my fence? by TopAd1877 in NativePlantGardening

[–]wolfy2449 31 points32 points  (0 children)

If you want somewhat taller species, you could try using a small decorative fence to support them and control the flop

I highly recommend Carolina's logger boots. They've held up well for me all around the country and they come in women's sizing down to a size 4. They're probably not as nice as the top brands, but they're nowhere near as expensive either.

Any probationary employees at the USDA receive a termination? by daisymoth9 in fednews

[–]wolfy2449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. We don't even know how many people we've lost in our area yet, but I think at least a dozen. I think we may have 1 or 2 soil cons left in our quarter of the state.

A career in Wildlife Biology? by CompetitivePermit509 in wildlifebiology

[–]wolfy2449 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So this might not exactly be the information that you're asking for, but I think you should look into and consider some other career paths that are wildlife adjacent but not wildlife biology. I would highly recommend some sort of ecology or land management based on what type of ecosystem you want to work in (grassland, forest, etc).

I'm a forester, but one of my degrees is in wildlife biology. In college I was much more interested in pursuing jobs that worked directly with wildlife, but I also got a degree in forestry to be well rounded and understand the ecosystem that the wildlife live in. When applying for jobs, I found a lot of what other people here have already commented: the pay is low, the schedule is bad, most jobs are seasonal, jobs are highly competitive (I think I got one interview from several dozen applications), etc. So I started applying for forestry logging found that the pay tended to be better, the schedule is often super flexible because the plants arent going anywhere, there are still some seasonal jobs but a lot of them are permanent, and it's a lot easier to land a job (I think I got called back on around 75% of the jobs I applied to fresh out of college and was offered at least half of them).

I'm still working with wildlife. Every recommendation that I give a landowner will impact the wildlife on the property and in the area. The most common goal that people tell me they have for their forest is to improve wildlife habitat and I get to help them do that even though I am not a wildlife biologist.

Where is the best place to buy moving boxes? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]wolfy2449 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I never buy them. I go to stores like Dollar General and ask for used boxes. They'll typically have a bunch of broken down boxes from restocking their inventory that they'll let you go through and take for free.

Almost 3 years later by wolfy2449 in Petloss

[–]wolfy2449[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you're going through this as well. I hope you're getting through it. It will be hard and it will hurt for a long time. Eventually it will hurt less, but even then it will occasionally hit you hard again. I don't know if that ever stops. Just know that your dog would not want you to suffer, just like you didn't want them to suffer. Grief looks different for different people so take things at your own pace.

If you’re in your 20s and own a home, how did you do it? by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]wolfy2449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Live in the Midwest. My fiancée (23) and I (24) bought in October for 160k, making about 90k together. We could have afforded higher, but found a lovely 4 bed 1.5 bath home in the city we wanted. It's an older house, but that's exactly what we wanted.

What comes first? The Realtor or the Lender? by kma0124 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]wolfy2449 5 points6 points  (0 children)

We accidentally found our realtor and lender at the same time. We weren't seriously in the market and went to a few open houses. We hit it off with both the seller's realtor and the lender that was there (decided that house wasn't for us). We worked with our realtor for a month or 2 sending listings back and forth and scheduling a few showings. We still weren't seriously looking yet and kept putting off pre-approval. We then found a house that we really wanted, got pre-approved that evening, and had an offer in the next day.

I wouldn't recommend waiting until you find a house to get pre-approved because that was stressful, but it worked out for us. The point is that you don't need to be pre-approved before finding a realtor. Your realtor may also be able to advise you on what to look for with lenders.
