Strange question- Sonic Drive In's
Comments (6)The space is heated. I don't know about cooled, as the door is open in the summer. I have seen some of the folding /sliding doors on Houzz. They are way out of my price range. An 8 foot garage door is in my range, but the air-tightness/insulation is my exact concern... I hate the look of sliders, but that might be my only option....See MoreI have a strange question to ask
Comments (20)I'm a recovering alcoholic and if one of my co-workers made cookies, I would very much appreciate a sign with the cookies that reads: Sambucca (YES, REAL SAMBUCCA) Cookies Enjoy! I wouldn't bother with the complete recipe. I wouldn't inquire ahead of time either in private or not. Your co-worker is an adult who should be capable of making their own decision. To me, some of the suggestions offered border on treating this person like a child and, if it were me, would be insulting. Keep it very simple. By the way, one of my recovering friends used to drink vanilla extract by the bottle....she says that real vanilla extract provides quite a good drunk:)...See MoreStrange question re: suspicious person and my dog
Comments (26)I think that it may have increased because a lot of people are looking for young dogs (especially puppies); there is a mandatory spay/neuter policy at shelters run by municipal governments have been joined by shelters run by humane societies or SPCA’s that have contracts with cities/counties, pure bred are several hundred dollars from breeders and puppy mills are under increasing threat (as they should be) of being shut down. I adopted Molly in 2006, it has hands down proven to be the best $37 I ever spent - the local county shelter was running a special promotion, so after a year of looking online at adoptable dogs for the right dog for me I spotted her, I called to place a commitment hold and took home a 4 month old chihuahua mini pin mix with all her shots, spayed, and microchipped. The SoCal area I lived in had so many puppies at the time, but as time has passed, there are fewer and fewer, particularly those of smaller breeds which I am likely to be looking for in life after Molly (hopefully not for years yet). In our new state, small dogs are a rarity at the ‘pound’ that is contracted with the humane society here, most that come in are senior dogs and while I want them to find homes I will be looking for another puppy. A puppy of any breed or a young dog from a shelter can now cost a few hundred dollars or more (the one here increases the fee when the dog is a popular breed), they have people fill out the application and then the staff decides which dogs they can meet and consider. (Note, this is only applicable to the one here, which I have direct knowledge of, the practices MAY be different elsewhere.) So, the demand for puppies and young dogs has held steady or increased while the number available and in existence has dramatically dropped, at least in the lower cost range. Add in the places that decide that they will ‘control the supply’ by only making these younger dogs available to people whose application and ability to pay meets all their standards, and the desire for a puppy and you have a perfect storm. That they decide for someone which dog they are allowed isn’t going to be acceptable if the potential adopter doesn’t want an older dog no matter how many constraints and rules they have to utilize in trying to force it. So what’s a person to do when looking for a puppy but meeting with blockades at every option, other than turn to places like Craigslist? Apparently some expect them to either give up on finding a dog altogether or give in and adopt the older dog they are ‘allowed’....See MoreStrange question?
Comments (3)Many machines nowadays with sensors to control the water temperature will trigger an error code or stop filling if the hoses are connected wrong ... which prevents them from attaining the target temperature the sensor wants....See Moredinajean(SCzone7b)

10 years agoI can't tell you what those are, but they are definitely NOT basil seeds.
Basil seeds are brown and slightly curved and pointed, with stripes. Very different from whatever that is.
Here's an enlarged view:
(My bad - original post pointed to the wrong photo - that was photo of caraway seeds- - this is basil - got to be more careful before I hit the submit button)

10 years agoHA! Rained all night but did not wash away evidence. If it was a mouse...why would he follow plant outside instead of staying inside with the other basil plant (which still has no "seeds" or "droppings". So I found a leaf chewed even more, some droppings on the leaves & some "whatever" on the table, which are not hard & black like they were inside, but rather squishy & yucky green when squashed. Still don't see a critter though. Now what do y'all think?

6 years agoYou have no idea how relieved I am to find a fat caterpillar on my cyclamen plant!
Thank you so much for your helpful photos and information, folks. Thank goodness it's not a dying mouse lost in the house!
I've been discreetly Googling "green rodent droppings", not wishing you alarm my husband, until I had confirmation of the cause; and a plan!
I was starting to think it must be mouse, haha, but I took a look at the plant again just now, and found that huge green beastie, munching away - with a fresh poo attached to its tail end,
