It's still not working for me :(

Oh that was a big part of it. Thankfully, we no longer have to deal with a rat infestation, not in a long time. But I still keep all my mason jars and jelly jars. Lol. Öld habits. They're also great in lieu of Tupperware, and depending on the type and how much you fill them, they're freezer safe. I love my mason jars and cast iron lol

The dichotomy of me: I have always wanted pet rats. I have also lived in a home with a horrible rat infestation. Like, to the point where whole sections of wall have been missing from them chewing them. Keep the food in plastic totes instead of cabinets, and they still chew through the totes. Wild rats, while the same species, are truly horrible to live with them. Not their fault. They're still adorable, intelligent little creatures. But good God does it absolutely suck to have them free ranging themselves in your walls

If you are into solar punk slrpnk.net has been amazing for me. Due to some weird timing with the admin being out of town when the servers went down they're down right now for a bit, so I'm not sure when they'll be back up and running. But the current situation is a hiccup, not a consistent issue. I love the server, and if anything, the community reaction to the admin being unable to fix this for a few weeks has made me love it even more.

You rock! Thank you!

It works for me on Whatsapp, but not on Eternity, the app I use for Lemmy. Wonder why. Thank you for answering though! I'm old enough that I rarely actually use emoji, and just go with emoticons, but this is cool to know!

I will completely forget to come back and check this, but if you get an answer, would you mind hollering at me and letting me know?

Thanks. She was my whole world. Like... Crazy close, best friend. It's been rough. I appreciate the sentiment.

I almost converted to the Baha'i faith many years ago. It's cool to see a Baha'i in the wild! Are there many on Lemmy, do you know?

That's not far off for some of us. That's about 25 bucks a month, and until about 2 years ago I was making just enough to have about 30 bucks left over at the end of the month that I didn't spend on bills or food. Then I did fairly well for about 2 years, with about 200 bucks a month left over... Then my mom passed away 2 months ago, and since my job was being her caregiver, I'm now jobless. :/ life sucks

Facebook canning groups are a great idea, as someone else mentioned. Them little old ladies can do pretty amazing things on short notice. Can I suggest hitting up local churches? The methodists, Episcopal and baptists are all particularly fond of doing drives and such, and may be able to do an impromptu canning drive for y'all

Oh, well then I wouldn't approach him for a whole new variety of reasons!
