Will slime molds multiply and take over my house?
Comments (12)That doesn't look like anything I've ever seen in a pot or on the ground before, like more slimy than slime mold. Is there any possibility it came out of the watering can, like something fell in there? Pic enlarges to great, huge size, but unfortunately that part is not in focus. I can't picture how this went at all: "I started to water this small snake plant and a glob of goo popped up to the surface." But I am curious to hear more. I'd have to pull that plant out of the pot and see what's going on, curiosity would demand it. Do you want to do that? Take pics? Can you add a pic of the stuff in the peace lily pot too? If it really did come up from inside, I'm thinking it was already still quite moist in the pot. Sans that aren't baking in the heat/sun outside really need to dry out between drinks of water. It looks like the pot is sitting in a larger bowl or bucket. If water stays at the bottom of that, the roots of the Sans could rot. I would water at a sink so excess water has dripped away, then set on something that protects furniture (and/or sanity) if needed....See MoreFinch feeder that keeps of house finches?
Comments (1)mine was a plastic tube feeder with plastic perches about 1 1/2 inches long and almost any of the birds were perching on it. I took a hack saw and cut the perches off so they were just over 1/2 inch long. it stopped all the birds except the siskins and finches from perching. Last fall a hungry bear tore the feeder down and broke it, I'll have to buy another next spring. and hang it higher....See MoreWill a Father House Finch feed nestlings?
Comments (3)Rachell, Thanks for your comforting words. I was SO worried! This morning, two were on the edge of the container they are nested in, preening, and trying out their wings ... just 'flpping' to see how they worked! Soon, the mom and dad flew in together and fed them. The biggest one is ready to go. The other two, a bit littler. I quietly shut the 'peek space in my door', came in ... raised my fist in the air .. and said "Yeeeesssssssss!" I love these little buggers SO much! ....The WONDER of it all! ;) PS: What was really funny, as I watched these little babies stretching, and preening, and checking their flying gear ... Dr. Wayne Dyer was on Public TV (in the background) ... talking about 'Don't think you can't do it!" (chuckle!)...See MoreTaking over security alarm in my house.
Comments (10)I disagree with some parts of Kudzu. Most installing companies do *NOT* have any monitoring capability PERIOD. They either are independents that will sell you service from some other company (such as the original poster has) or one of the big monitoring companies like ADT will sell you the monitoring service and contract with a local alarm company to actually install the unit. While I still pay the local company for my service, they don't handle anything with it. I have separate 24/7 access to the monitoring company (which is nationwide). As to the original poster, yes I can give you a good recommendation, but by and large nobody will deal with a DIY installer as they wish to protect their deals with their local agents. My best suggestion is to find a local installer that will work with you, explain what they are doing, and give you the access you need to make your own repairs and/or changes. While there may be some specialized sensors in your system, by and large, they are compatible....See Morecreekgirl
