So I agree with most of the comments before. When I was young my family used to pile in a car and drove for a couple of days to visit family. Man, if you’ve got kids in the car you want to be sure you’ve got things for them to do. Unoccupied kids (speaking from experience) are distracting. We used to play the “license plate game”. We’d look for novelty plates and try to decipher what they mean, and look for each state plate too. Not sure if your driving alone or with someone.
I’d also recommend a couple blankets, towels (paper and fabric), a flashlight, and a first aid kit, and a roadside emergency kit too. Bring some cash, and have a backup payment method. Also if alone, make a plan to checkin with family at least daily. Let em know where your at, and where your headed.
Have fun and stop at cool sights and little touristy places too! Take lots of pictures. Wish you a safe and fun trip!
My iPhone is old, and I don’t have the newest iOS update. (Currently I don’t have enough storage space on my phone and can’t part with my pics)..Artemis is working great for me. It just released publicly in Beta. And has plans to include Lemmy very soon.
100% best sheets I’ve ever owned, 1,000 TC 100% Egyptian cotton sheets. That is like being cuddled by the softest, smoothest clouds ever. Stupid expensive (I have a king sized mattress) so they usually run a couple hundred dollars. However, they last a really long time, and get softer with age/washing.
One set has lasted me about 10 years of weekly washing. Only reason I had to buy another set this year, was because I’d torn all the corners of the fitted sheets over time. Tbf I do wrestle them on there quite roughly as I can’t squeeze in on one side of my bed that’s up against the wall… so I’m definitely not gentle..
The “X” trick is when you have a insect bite and you press your nails in and make an X. However it hasn’t been the antidote that was promised for me personally. I swear by those Benadryl “after bite” sticks. That’s the shit.
If it’s more of a rash then I don’t bother with the stick and go for that good good relief from the Benadryl anti itch ointment. That shit works
Amazing photograph! Personally, I’m not a fan of swing bridges… especially when I’m unable to see the end, or how freaking high I am… 😬. Respect to the photographer! 🫡
I really enjoyed the Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul communities on Reit and some other TV series subs. I’m not sure if they’re on Lemmy or not.. but now that you bring it up, I haven’t even looked!
So, I’m no meteorologist, nor am I an expert in cows 🐄. But I’m gonna go out on a limb and say… yes… maybe? Theoretically tornadoes can in fact pick up whole houses… take for example (The wizard of oz). I have also seen on the news whole cars being thrown around. Yikes! 😳 😬…
I suppose it would have to be a strong enough tornado 🌪️, hitting the area you live exactly, to take the 🐄 and break and enter into your 🏠.
I’m reminded of the movie Barnyard and the farmer dude’s little tiff with his wife… “course there’s gonna be cows outside! It’s a cow farm!” Lmao
Mine’s not smelly. Like others have said, I use glass containers for leftovers etc, and I also wash and store like lettuce and veggies in ziplock plastic bags. I probably deep clean mine a couple times per year… definitely spot clean if there are spills etc.
If you have any odors you could try putting a box of baking soda in your fridge to absorb them. They actually sell fridge boxes of them with side panels that are mesh and easy to use.
Started at Lemmy.world. Also made an account on Kbin.social. And Mastodon.social. Just checking out what the Fediverse was all about. Now I’m on Artemis.camp as a beta tester for the Artemis App and loving it!
This is brilliant! As others have commented, I too have DOOM piles. I will commit from now on, one area for the most important/most needed items and resist the urge to put all the mail, and receipts, and other crap that usually ends up in the catch all spot. Thank you for sharing!
I had a similar experience recently. I have my “liked list” that I play in my car while driving. Idk like 300 songs. My car is old as shit so I have to have a dongle attached to an aux cord plugged into my phone and a tiny aux Jack in the bottom of my center console. Well, sometimes I’m in the mood for songs and sometimes I’m not, so I’ll poke my screen to skip a song or two while driving. One day I was searching for a particular song and it wasn’t found in my liked list.
I finally figured out why it didn’t show up. There’s a bunch of clickable buttons right below the play button “hip hop, pump up, aggressive “ etc. Long story short, I had accidentally clicked one of these buttons and it had hidden half my liked songs. So I had to un-click that, and then all my songs were back again.
