On our morning walks we often spot other dogs taking their owners for a walk. Today I spotted a couple of moccasins (poodles?) so I held back a bit and then they all spotted each other. They didn't bark. They squeaked. Which set old Weezy off because he loves rough play with squeaky toys. I was amused they can make noise like that.

R-handed, I'm pretty sure if I'm sitting down, I put on R shoe first, but if I'm standing up it's left.

Debating if I buy these bugs or if I might be able to keep up the manual removal until I can get some attractors flowering. I saw one ladybug in the wild so that’s promising but no more since.

I figured gardening would be a cheap hobby (and with bare bones minimum it can be) but I am absolutely getting a crash course in disease/pest management with the heirlooms and also the need for feeding.

Melbcat’s meds and vet appointments are quite expensive so I feel guilty for constantly spending money on something that doesn’t have a high return. It means I’m really spending for myself. It’s just one of the few hobbies I’m able to maintain these days.

I've been getting these videos recommended to me on Rednote of women packing cute lingerie. I've finally cracked where they're getting them from to list for myself. Taobao must be the Chinese name for Alibaba, and there's more on there again than Alibaba or Aliexpress

So what do you do if you find an airtag in the middle of a sports field? Leave it there, or take and leave in your letterbox or something...? I have an android phone...

Edit . Nfc'd it. Not marked as lost.

Edit edit. Just left it on a bench
