If it's one cat I use the doggie poop bags and I also saved every bag I've gotten from Amazon too even if it was wrapped around a stuffed animal it works. If not gonna have to get out the newspaper and wrap it lol

Yeah there was a huge flock of them at the neighbors feeder this morning, chasing away all the regular birds that eat there and driving my cat insane. They are an invasive species, wish we could attract a hawk to eat them.

You say that but you must understand that they are SUPER invasive and harmful. They rip up roofing, flashing, and have destroyed a lot of property as well as choke out species native to the area.

This is a really stupid question but would flushing it down the toilet clog it? Like I know the pee is clumps of sand but the poop is poop? Idk is the water waste less environmentally friendly than the plastic bag waste?

When I was a kid our Summer camp did a tour of the factory where they made all of the orange drink and fruit punch for the Krauszer’s convenience stores. They gave each of us a paper half gallon of it as a parting gift. It was all over the van when we got home 😂We also did a tour of I believe the Delco car battery factory on French St. in New Brunswick. That was really cool.

Thanks. The point wasn’t about justice or finding the bad guy, but about paying attention to your surroundings and actions of others.
I’m somewhat amused but the haters this morning. Must have a lot of free time to let something. Like this ruffle their feathers. Have a lovely weekend. 😉

Reply to Are there any good/affordable engagement photographers that don’t charge a fortune in our area? by flyingp1zza
You can probably get a great photographer for 300$ IF they use this as a deposit for your wedding.
Take a very small hit of their time upfront to lock your date.
I doubt the proposal will be a surprise that it’s happening, more of when it’s happening. I’d talk with your partner and do some research on photos you like and then the photographer rates, not the other way around.

I used to rely on taxi services when I was younger and living in a small city in NJ, because we didn’t own a car. You are absolutely correct about the difference between an Uber/Lyft and a taxi service. The taxi service needs to have proper approvals and licenses from the municipal government in order to establish a business. Their employees also need to be on the books and background checked with good driving history. When I relied on taxi services I knew most of the drivers that picked me up and I never felt unsafe. The dispatcher even knew our names. When I visit my old hood I still see a couple retired drivers because they lived where they worked.
There’s a reason cities do not want Uber/Lyft operating within their jurisdiction. Drivers are not background checked, drivers are also exploited by these companies and the gig economy which is complete bullshit.
I have told my neighbor to stop letting his teenage daughter take an Uber home, especially since I work in town and have the flexibility to pick up my kids, I could pick his up as well without any burden. I still see her coming in and out of the Uber and it terrifies me.

I went there with my dad for his birthday! I hope the tour is still as good as it used to be (we went pre-COVID). The tour was led by a 30+ year veteran of the factory, and we got to walk right among the work benches and talk to people who were in the middle of making instruments. At the end of the tour everybody got one of the round pieces of wood they cut out to make the sound holes, with the Martin logo burned onto it.
We were able to just walk in, but it looks like you have to pre-register now.

Unfortunately, Crayola no longer offers a tours of the factory. They do have the "Crayola Experience", which is pretty great for kids. (albeit, a bit nickel and dimey, if I remember)

It's been 10 years since I've taken the tour. But, it was awesome being able to walk through the production floor and stand feet away from the folks making the guitars.
