Hello! Higgins is almost 2 years old and we are in the middle of the shedding season. With hard floor surfaces throughout the house, it's an endless battle against hair bunnies. I vacuum and pick up hair balls daily.

If I don't get to them fast enough, Higgins often will eat them (or chew them and spit them out). He even gets them out of open trash cans if I just pick one up and toss it in there. I find myself prying his mouth open and pulling them out often.

I'm concerned he's going to cause some sort of stomach/intestinal issues if this doesn't stop.

Any tricks to get him to stop?

The Hershey-made stuff is terrible. Anywhere I can get the real deal?

2025 OBW.

The kid turned 16 and took my beater car I used to drive my dog around.

Can anyone recommend products that worked well to:

1. Keep the dog from jumping from the trunk to the back seat?

2. Keep the dog from jumping from the back seat/tumbled seats to the front?

He's a big guy and scratches the center console when trying to get in the front seat.

Heading to 4.0 18+ sectionals. My understanding is there is 2 groups of 4 teams. 3 matches guaranteed. Friday morning, Friday afternoon, and Saturday morning. Not sure on mechanics after that but I think top of each group gets the afternoon off and 2nd and 3rd teams play each other for a spot on semis on Sunday morning and finals on Sunday afternoon?

Given the format of 2 singles and 3 doubles courts, how many players is optimal to balance burnout and court time?

We have some young legs but a few 40+ guys in the team as well.

Just want to make sure everyone is happy and not feel like they spent a bunch of money in hotel/travel to only play one match.

Got an unexpected extra day in Barcelona yesterday. AA 41 cancelled due to maintenance issues.

Are we entitled to €600 per passenger since this is a flight departing from the EU? How do I go about claiming it?

I carry 3 racquets, restring 2 of them at the time (every 2 months, cutting off a poly, don't break em often). When I play I reach for either of the 2 restrung together randomly.

​

When it's time to restring, I grab the one with the old strings and one of the 2 fresh ones so all 3 get equal play time.

​

So every 6 months, I play with racquets 1&2 for the first 2 months, 2&3 for the next 2 months, 3&1 for the last 2 months. That also means I always have at least one racquet on hand even when there's a wait at the stringer.

​

Is this the right way to do it? Or should I string one at a time and play one at a time?

I often find myself matching the energy level from the other side of the net. How do you keep your intensity and focus up when the other side is playing 1-2 gears lower than you like to play? For me as soon as the intensity drops I find myself playing worse. Worse footwork, worse technique, poor focus. Would love to keep it at my preferred level regardless of what's going on on the other side of the net.

Is there a subreddit or good place to buy/sell/trade strings?

If y'all are like me you have a bunch of half reels and packs of strings that you don't plan on using anymore because you bought extras and then changed your set up.
