I spent probably 10 seconds looking for the feline in the bottom left before the light bulb went off

I kept thinking “don’t do it, you’ll hit the ceiling” while she was planning, but she obviously knows her limits much better because she made it look easy

Looks like a normal drawer to me, I see nothing amiss

I could have a super productive day and the list would still get longer instead of shorter

As far as increasing strength in the muscles supporting the spine: these exercises and these exercises

As long as they don’t cause you pain. I’ve had a broken vertebra in my low back for over a decade and these exercises help me manage the pain.

If you’re going to be in national forest land, the Forest Service has maps you can use in Avenza Maps that are geotagged - probably the wrong term but they work in areas of the forest with no cell service and it still shows where we are and even when we’re moving.

Other federal agencies (BLM, FWS, etc) may have them too. You could even see if the area’s counties have some? I only have direct experience with USFS maps that do this but I doubt they’re the only ones.

Eta: After looking at some iGo screenshots, Avenza probably won’t be a good fit. It doesn’t offer turn by turn directions nor does it automatically center on you. If you drive out of frame you do have to manually move the map.

Oof that second one hit too close to home

My brother’s cat just stands there and braces for the water spray, then goes right back to misbehaving

Yep. If I choose the noise I can block it out. But unsolicited noise somehow becomes all my brain can focus on.

Same as i_stole_ur_taco. The brand I buy is “20 Mule Team” and it’s advertised as a detergent booster. The only ingredient is sodium tetraborate.

We sprinkle a line of food-grade diatomaceous earth outside right next to each of our doors, so the outside ants would have to cross it to get inside.

We also got a plate that’s larger than our pet’s food bowl. We put diatomaceous earth on the plate and then put the pet bowl on top of that.

Finally we put out a borax-sugar solution. I drilled some ant-sized holes in the side of several plastic containers that have tight lids (we have an indoor bunny and I didn’t want her getting into the borax even though it shouldn’t be enough to affect her). I soak cotton balls in the borax solution, put them in the plastic containers, and place the containers along any ant trails I notice.

Borax solution: 1 cup warm water, 5 Tbsp + 1 tsp white/caster sugar, 1 Tbsp borax. Mix until dissolved.

Nefurtiti?

haha true. I did wait to post this until I got back home, but I am guilty of trying to get a photo to send to her family to show how she’s doing instead of just petting her nonstop.

She approves of this

For our pet rabbit I bought a clay plant saucer (the part you would put under the pot to catch extra water). I flip it upside down and put an ice pack under it. Then a towel between the ice pack and floor to soak up condensation. The ice cools the clay without her being in direct contact with the ice.

Also frozen water bottle in a sock she can lay next to on the extra hot days.

It always is when cats are involved

Per the Minnesota Wildlife Rehab Center, if she’s certain the cat never got it:

if it’s a bunny that is larger than a tennis ball, and its ears are upright, it’s old enough to be on its own

Best option is to release it back where she found it and keep an eye on it if she’s worried about the cat again.

Also if she has some greens like arugula, clover, basil, cilantro, or any lettuce except iceberg available those will sit better in the bunny’s tummy than carrots which have too much sugar.

Hi Dr. Nick!

How do they pack so much judgement in such a little body
