Definitely not worth a new thread - I took out some 40+ year old, badly overgrown bushes today and there was a birds nest in one. Now I have a starving couple day old chick begging for food. What do I feed it? Or should I just wait for a neighborhood kitty have a snack?
i did for my fathers parents a few years ago while in atlanta, they were buried near there. i did it to show respect. i also put flags at vets graves in our vet cem from time to time to show respect.Quote:

seems daily those u-turning never yield and i am the right turn on red person. i even asked a cop, he had no idea.
At the bank there are 4 drive through lanes. I went through the other day and 5 cars were in the face to face teller lane leaving the other 3 lanes empty. Why?
Is it wrong that my mind went somewhere entirely different with this post?Quote:

How do I fix it? Get the shoe wet and then cram something in there to stretch the leather back out?

It's a myth that animals won't care for young that have been touched by humans. I'm okay with maul use in general but not necessary with the chicks at this point: https://www.reconnectwithnature.org/...t-their-babies
How young exactly? What's the veal equivalent for poultry?Quote:

good luck. skiJ

Looks like a perfect set up for the insurance companies--they declare you both at fault so you both have to pay the deductible. (Pro tip: and never get into an accident with someone who has the same insurance as you. You both will ALWAYS be at fault.)Quote:

Despite both parties having state farm, Mrs Cruiser paid no deductible and even recovered additional compensation for diminished value.
Spent an interesting week in Zoom jury court being defended by Jake from State Farm. 3 year old fender bender. Bad back guy represented by Dewey Cheatem & Howe. It was like a Seinfeld episode. DC&H played the jury like a cheap fiddle and Jake took a hit but we came away with no rate increases. Everything is jake with Jake by me.
Not true. A few years ago we had robins build a nest on our carport despite our discouragement. Came home from work after a string to find the nest upside down in the driveway. One baby under the nest and one flopped nearby. Thought I was going to have to use the maul but the missus said let’s see if we can save them. Put the babies in a box while I put the nest back into place. Wove twine through the nest to keep it in place. Put the babies back. Next day mama was back and the babies survived. It was cool as they were learning to fly, they liked to hang out near me when I was outside. They’d come right up to me, not afraid at all.Quote:

not sure if the flag decal video was a shot at me for being a right wing usa flag lover or not, but I've been to enough vet cem that i know that 95% of those buried vets never get a flag unless that have good family and even then it fizzles over the years. i figure me putting flags on graves of vets i do not know is pretty outstanding.Quote:

Maybe the adjuster was a new guy. If so he didn't last long. Diminished value? I've never gotten that one. I have gotten well over KBB for a 4Runner I totaled.Quote:

Oh you're special, no doubt. But I do bet those vets appreciate the flags. Wait...Quote:
