Here are the pickles. I had enough for 2 jars

Don't get fooled into thinking they are stuck.

And they will be very annoyed if you “rescue” them

Edit: Added quote to make it clear. Although lots of things you do will annoy your cat

Thanks! Our peas did better than I was expecting, but I think it’s because they’re behind the netting that goes around our in-ground garden, so they ended up shaded from the sun.

Thanks! I’ll try to remember to

When mine was young I only gave him dry food. Then he developed kidney disease (CKD) 4 years ago. It and diabetes are fairly common in older cats.

Now he gets dry food plus wet food in the morning and evening - 1/2 of a little can or 1/4 of a bigger can at each feeding. The dry food and wet food are in separate bowls. That plus finding a water fountain he likes has so far kept his kidney disease from getting any worse.

Next cat I’ll give wet and dry food from the start.

They are raspberry leaves, but I was just gathering them for our pet rabbit’s breakfast. I’ve never canned with them. Are the grape leaves to keep the pickles crisp? I add black tea leaves

Oh Bob’s Burgers is an awesome idea. Adding that to my rotation

Mostly dramas: Bones, House, Criminal Minds, NCIS. Plus Stargate SG-1

Freezing your credits means you (or anyone else) cannot access your credit report to open new lines of credit. No credit cards, mortgages, car loans, nothing.

I watch a tv show on my phone. I know it goes against all the traditional advice, blue light is bad for sleep, blah blah blah. For me, it means I can get 7 or 8 hours of sleep instead of 3.

I don’t watch just any tv though. It has to: 1. Be a show I know well enough where I can tell which character is speaking when I’m only listening. 2. Have a good amount of seasons (8 or more) so I don’t get to where I’ve memorized the episodes and my mind starts to wander. 3. Is one I know in general what’s gonna happen with the characters (so I don’t have to stay up and find out what happens) but isn’t one I love so much that I can’t stop watching. And 4. Doesn’t have a bunch of nonverbal stuff that’s important to the plot.

I have a sleep headband with little speakers in it so it doesn’t keep my partner up. When I’m ready for bed, I make sure my screen brightness is turned all the way down, I put on my sleep headphones, and I lay down and close my eyes to listen to the show. Usually I can fall asleep in less than an hour, as long as I keep my eyes closed. Otherwise I get caught up watching the show and before I know it I’ve watched 3 episodes and I’m still awake.

Congrats! That’s gotta be so satisfying
