I am SO mad at the 9-11 museum for doing her dirty!

They had her memorial tucked in a back corner, that was dark, and playing a video. Unless someone walked fully in, and turned around to exit, facing the opposite corner of the door, they'd miss her memorial. I had to ASK where her memorial was.

She saved dozens of people... she deserves to be on the main floor, in the light, next to the other heroes of that day; not forgotten in a dark corner!

    Since they've become a partner with PSA (card grading), they've made so much money, it makes sense. PSA has a 10 MILLION backlog and ones submitted through GameStop were less expensive and quicker grading times... They're making so much money

    There are 3D models available for paper wasp nests, that can stop them from latching to your house. Wasps are HIGHLY territorial, and will not start a new colony nearby to another nest.

    I left an old one up by my garage, and despite it being empty, no wasps come remotely close to my the front of my house anymore.

    I'm a gardener and every time someone approaches my door to solicit pest management, I ask if it will kill the wasps and spiders. Every single time they share an excited yes, I get to tell them that I don't kill my gardening coworkers.

    Wasps and spiders eat the bugs that eat my crops. Pesticides also greatly increase your risk of health issues. No thank you.

    When i first got my dog, it was freezing cold outside, but she was so small that pet stores didn't have any clothes that would fit. I ended up cutting up my fuzzy socks to turn them into coats. Seeing another dog in a sock sweater made me so so happy.

    I think that means you've been fortunate enough not to feel the need to turn a piece of fruit, bug, or rat into a cathartic feeling of peace or closure. The animal, fruit, or veggie would be given to the zoo creature anyways, and this raises funds to help conservation.

    I'll happily name a carrot after my ex and watch it be fed to a giraffe.

    The only one that looks real is the bottom right Santa. The carousel looks passable, until you notice they're all facing the same direction and that's not what carousels do. The weird faux-tree one, the base is so awful it hurts

    I'm so glad I got sterilized. Besides the fact that I have a degenerative genetic disorder; housing isn't affordable (and no roommate or landlord wants messy/loud children in their home), food prices are ridiculous, pregnancy is too risky, there's dwindling social programs to help mothers, the US doesn't have maternity leave, the earth's climate is changing drastically, and war is looming. It's literally the best time to be sterilized.

    If I change my mind, I'll adopt. The US foster system is overflowing with hundreds of thousands of children, whose parents were forced to birth them, but couldn't care for them. 11% more children have been filling foster homes because of RvW.
