My daughter and I had ones that were just bracelets with a retractable cord between. She could get up to around four feet from me. We did a lot of hiking since she could walk, and I can't imagine going through some places without it. She's so quick and always loved to peer right over cliff sides. No fear!
Yes! The ecosystem changes are what I'm most excited about. Not so much the mosquito swarms the next year or two, but once the rest of the food chain moves in it'll be wonderful! I have seen a heron a couple times in the swampier parts of the creekbed and if he becomes a consistent visitor to the area I'll be over the moon.
I will report back in a few weeks with more pictures! Also will probably be spamming them all over Lemmy because I just cannot shut up about how cool they are 😅
A beaver (or beavers?) moved into the creek deep in the woods behind my house last fall, and I am SO excited about the beautiful pond they are building.
Tolerable accommodations, learning skills that can be put to use on the outside, and no fear of violence should be some of the basics of a prison system. The fact that our prison system is so fucked that slavery seems like a better deal isn't a credit to slavery, it's evidence of a horrifically broken prison system.
I used to have a cat that I was able to train to use the toilet! It took less than 6 months to transition from the litterbox, and she was around 3 when we started so she was already very set in her ways.
It requires something this This Toilet Insert and a spare bathroom that doesn't need to be used by anyone but the cat for the length of the training. (Even if you remove the insert to use the toilet, the cat will likely object to any smells that aren't their own)
Yet, I am completely unable to get my dog to stop humping men... Only ever men. Suggestions welcomed.
I assume you're a better person than me and don't do this, but right now I am absolutely fantasizing about just leaving the dishes and whatever is sticky all over the counters, moving house, and starting a new life.... That's what I imagine when you say you rent a house for thanksgiving and fully support it.
Congee is the ultimate squishy sick food. Cook a cup of rice in 6-8 cups of liquid, with salt to taste, until completely broken down so it's thick and smooth. It's super versatile, can be made savory or sweet depending on the liquid you use to cook and any seasoning you want to add. I like it cooked in diluted coconut milk for a dessert base, then mix in raspberries and honey. Make it savory by cooking it in broth and topping with a soft boiled egg.
⭐ gold star, nailed it on your first try
