  • I almost stepped on this little guy taking a picture of some cormorants.

  • this site lets you sort species by country and state

    are you able to go back and see if that bat is still there? many species of midwestern bats cannot take off from the ground and would need rescuing

    if that’s the case, search your state plus wildlife rehab, and call one of those places to ask what to do

  • Birthday Gift for a smart 6 year old girl

    Jump

  • Books: Narwhal and Jelly was a favorite at that age. Also if an adult reads with her, we were reading the Mercy the Pig, and Zoey and Sassafrass series at that age.

    I’m pretty sure that was also about the age we got our first Snap Circuits set. It still gets pulled out and built every so often - the flying “helicopter” is still a favorite.

    However, Play-Doh is one you can never go wrong with at that age.

    Edit: Forgot to add that Dr. Seuss and PD Eastman books are very good for the typical 6-7 year old reading level.

  • How did you hack my phone? (/s)

    I thought I was being smart because I almost always remember my phone, so no more looking for misplaced notebooks. Now if only I can remember which app I saved that idea in and what title I gave it.

  • I've seen her eat vomit, poop, and a dead rat, but heaven forbid I mix a tiny pill into her food

    Jump

  • If your dog doesn’t already get wet food, you could try the small packs of wet dog food. I make 3 little “meatballs” out of the wet food, one of which has his pill. He scarfs down all 3 and thinks he’s getting a treat.

  • This guy has been hanging over my door a couple days. I fear he might be dead.

    Jump

  • I would call a local wildlife rehabilitator and get their opinion. Searching “wildlife rehab” plus your location hopefully turns up someone.

    If not, your state/province/national wildlife, parks, or environmental department would hopefully be able to tell you who you can contact. They might even send one of their staff.

    And if all else fails, call around to local vet clinics. One may know a rehab organization in the area.

  • Be careful guys

    Jump

  • Same. And P A R K. Currently we “marche” and visit the “DP.” Not sure yet what we’ll use when he figures those out.

  • Zonked kitty picture train?

    Jump

  • I look like that at work too

  • A hummingbird on my porch today. I wish I still had my camera. This phone sucks.

    Jump

  • They buzz the top of my head if I dare step outside without more food when the feeders are low

  • Anybody else experience note overload?

    Jump

  • I experience this as well. I don’t have a solution, although I am trying to use Trello to create each idea/thought as its own card. Then whenever I’m inspired/motivated to sort them into their proper place, it’s a simple drag and drop.

    My consistency with this comes and goes, and I keep reorganizing my lists (the headings I group related cards under). But I lose things less than when they were scribbled on random pieces of paper.

  • So many missed...

    Jump

  • You’re doing a good job. Not sure if you needed to hear that from an internet stranger, but I felt called out too so you’re not alone.

  • I remembered I had to do something while putting on my socks, I ended up walking around the house with one sock on.

    Jump

  • I’m saving this for the next time someone tells me to “just do the thing.”

  • I had a boss who would say “spit it out” like I was trying to choose my words carefully rather than trying to snatch the words as they fled, made it so frustrating to talk to him

  • I like this take on it. I’ve just been calling it my “if you give a mouse a cookie” mode

  • In this case it is thankfully placed in an obvious spot. I was speaking more in general because they’re not always that easy to find.

  • Do you succumb to the urge to stop the microwave a few seconds before it actually stops ?

    Jump

  • My parents have one of these, and it drives me nuts when I visit. I understand that feature on something like an oven where it’s still cooking. But the microwave stopped. Nothing’s going to burn. So stop rushing me!
