Sunscreen, water, snacks, and good shoes/boots, because it's much easier to appreciate anything when you're comfortable. The ebird app for finding interesting locations (and Hot Birds Near You, if that's what people are into). Portable phone charger.

Mine aren't showing up in my downloads and the order isn't showing up in my orders - it's like it didn't get connected to my account somehow. I'm glad yours worked though! Even if you had to fight technology for it.

I'm in the same boat, and when I click on the link to the order it says it's invalid. Probably better for my ability to focus on work but I'm hoping it sorts itself out!

Safe-quacking.

The Duolingo Yiddish course is absolutely delightful and frequently absurd. It has definitely made me want to eat babka.

Is there a known reason for them arranging themselves by size?

Can I hire her to drown the moths that keep finding their way into my closet? She can have all the fresh water she needs. Maggie follows them around and chirps at them but rarely actually catches them, alas.

My current cat loves to chomp on her crunchies, specifically right over her water bowl, and then complains loudly about there being bits of food in her water. It's clearly an evil plot, she's sure of it.

My previous cat was hyper-sensitive to plaque and produced a lot of it, so out went her teeth. I was so worried and then about 24 hours later she was happily eating her kibble as if she hadn't just had major dental surgery. Plus, giving her pills got so much easier!

That makes sense, from what I remember liquid gets absorbed quickly and low blood sugar might be part of the problem. It's like the juice after getting blood drawn thing.

I do the same thing for the same reasons. Like my body goes through hunger and out the other side when I'm not paying attention.

Okay! So threading can be rough here! Here's all my "guide" together if you need it (not exhaustive, just the stuff I tell folks to get them started :) )
