The dwarf mongoose played dead to try and play with the hornbill. They are symbiotic species; the mongooses stir up bugs and such that the hornbills eat. The narrators had never observed that behavior before. I can’t stop laughing whenever I watch it! Glad you enjoyed it.

Enjoy!

I know someone who had a bunch of them. I'll find out if they still have them.

Why do you think only social media posts will prove their advocacy?

How do you know the age of this person?

Heart=melted. Lucky kitty!

Old old jewelers trick is to boil it in water with a few drops of dish soap and a splash of vinegar for about ten minutes. The bubbles in the water loosen grime and body oils. Rinse under hot water with sink plugged and brush with a soft toothbrush. Repeat if necessary.

I even like the nooks and crannies of the shorter buildings. I used to park on the top floor of a parking deck just to look out at everything. I remember some lame idiot asking me “but doesn’t your car get dirty?” EyeROLL

Paging u/rvagod.

Yeah, it doesn't seem to be worth the thousands of dollars' expense just for a stove. A long time ago, I had a stove that ran on an outside propane tank, and it was inexpensive and very easy to set up.

You could always get a propane conversion kit and run the stove off of that. You can get a larger tank than the ones for grills, and it can sit outside. Good luck with all of it!

The difference is that by saying unequivocally that it doesn’t work can cost people thousands. By saying it works, far more people can save their pipes. Your information is solipsistic while the general consensus is backed up by the experience of many.

It can be a terrible time of year. Sorry you’re feeling lousy. I’ve gone decades feeling the same way. Hope you feel better.

Chilling tonight, cooking all the things tomorrow. The cold has put a temporary kibosh on plans today but tomorrow will be filled with Christmas cheer. Just finished the last Harry Potter movie and am moving on to something else now.

Yes.

The idea of a bun watching football is the cutest thing I’ve imagined in a while.

It works. Your instance may be extreme, but saying that it doesn’t work is spreading misinformation. If a home’s pipes run inside an outside wall they may freeze more easily than if they are being replenished by underground non-frozen water under a house or inside insulation. Mr. Charles here knows what he’s talking about, and this article may help clarify why your in-laws’ precaution didn’t work.

Edited job to non.

Looks like that’ll hit the movie choices list this weekend!

They’re adorable. I’m a huge sucker for tabbies. Mine would do the same and sometimes I’d just wrap the paper around them and tape it like they were a present. Not tightly, and they’d then run around and leave me alone for a few minutes. Rinse and repeat. Wasted paper. Totally worth it, especially if your cats have a sense of humor.

Edited typo.

Under a blanket with a glass of wine and a movie (not sure which yet). Plugged in my oil-filled radiator because I know my heat pumps won’t keep up very well. Not exciting but I’m content.

Edit: I’ve decided to watch It’s A Wonderful Life.

It also tells me that the process could be much better. Ranked choice voting might have yielded a much better outcome.

Because the votes were all split.

I would say he’s a public servant in name only. Party plays little role in his self-serving existence.

They’re the best. Hands down.

Yeah this was what caught my attention. Why would anyone do that?
