Also: please thoroughly clean feeders every 2-3 days, or more frequently if it’s quite hot where you live! Spoiled/moldy sugar water kills birds. If you find this wasteful, simply put less food out at a time. You can store the extra in the fridge for several days. Choose a feeder that is easy to clean, and you will be more likely to use it. “Hummzinger” type feeders with two parts (a tray and a lid) are very easy to maintain. They make several sizes too; a mini is great if you have infrequent visitors. I have mine hung in a window and we delight in it, but moreover it allows me to see the sugar water level and I am less likely to forget to clean it regularly because I see it every time I glance outside.
hi as the holiday season is going to start soon please remember two things:
don’t donate to the salvation army because it is a racist, homophobic, all around shitty charity
don’t yell at the salvation army bell ringers just because they volunteered to work for this shitty charity. it’s likely that they don’t actually know what they’re promoting and you yelling at someone when they believe they’re honestly doing a good deed is going to help no one.
Perfectionism is not your friend. It’s rooted in the fear that what you do won’t be good enough. It’s over-valuing others’ opinion of you and your work.
Perfectionism leaves you paralyzed, waiting for the perfect conditions so you know it’s safe to act. Unfortunately, if you’re waiting for the perfect conditions, you may wait for the rest of your life.
If you can learn to fall in love with the process, rather than the product, you’ll be free to chase your passions unrestrained. Don’t let perfectionism keep you from moving. After all, you can’t steer a parked car.
You know those credit card solicitations from the big banks? They pay for the return postage for your application. Send it back to them and tell them why. Let them pay for the postage.
Here’s how to tell if the bank soliciting your business is a targeted bank. Vote with your money! If you haven’t moved your money to a local credit union, now is the time to do so.
Y’know I reblogged this a bit ago and was saved from financial probation and getting kicked out of school because of it, just mere months from graduation. Got a call from the financial aid advisor telling me that they made a mistake with filing my account (or some other sort of clerical error) and said that, basically, they owe me money. Welp.
Last time I reblogged the money cat, I won two $100 gift cards at work.
