I opened my back door and a bumblebee flew in just now, it was flying around the light and then it just disappeared, I just found it on the back side of the curtain, what do I do? I'm up all night anyway but do I just leave it until daylight or do I put it somewhere dark in a box? Do I try and give it sugar water?

I'm needing to heat up small amounts of vegetable purees, so I need small non-toxic ways to do it without a microwave that's quick, The 5/8 quart pan by farberware that's supposed to be stainless steel has worked pretty good in the past but I feel like they don't make it like they used to, I'm not sure if you guys know of anything out there that I could use that's the same size or smaller to heat up small amounts of baby food puree, I'm on a special diet and need a way to heat up two or three relatively quickly in a non-toxic way, keeping the nutrients. Thanks.

I feel like I'm wasting so much of the safflower seed I put out, when the grackles were coming in swarms, I got a few different tube feeders and put safflower in them to hopefully deter the grackles, it ended up helping but now I'm noticing there is so much uneaten safflower seed underneath the feeders, the feeders are constantly full of finches and sparrows and a few others eating out of them, there are a few different other types of seeds along with the safflower, it's mainly safflower though, but so much is ending up on the ground, is there a way around this? How do I go about making sure it doesn't go to waste? Is there even a way? Is it the feeder or is this just a thing? Feed is too expensive to waste.

Desperately need to be outside for my mental and physical health, I can't tolerate the humidity so I've got to have access to cold water, I don't have access to a pool so I'm really struggling and looking for options. I may try one of those inflatable pool loungers I just learned about that you can put water in and some have a sprinkler option, has anyone tried one of those? I live in the Midwest by the way.

Obviously I'm not using it for tanning but I need to be outside and I'm heat intolerant, I need something that I can get in and lay down with water, to get some vitamin d and fresh air for my physical and mental health, just wondering if anyone has tried one of these and been able to stay cool, someone that can't or doesn't have access to a pool? I would want to probably try one with the sprinkler option if I can.

I'm chronically ill

Little money

Not able to maintain cleaning something on a regular basis due to the unpredictability of my health, used to have a berkey

Can not have an ro system put in where I am residing

Thats not an option

I don't want to continue to drink bottled water due to toxicity of micro plastics and price plus I don't know that it's any better than tap

I was getting Fiji

Not sure what choice I have here

Tap here is bad

There is an option to get ro at a grocery store

Primo I think it's called

I have to bring in gallon jugs to fill it

But then there is no minerals left in it and

I still have to use a plastic jug to fill it w/water

I need something easy and cheap here

I already have a heavy toxic burden inside me

Just trying to lessen it somehow

Tips or help?

Glass bottles with lids seem to be hard to come by too

Boroux ones are what I used to get due to Berkey

I recently started getting RO water because it's cheaper than bottled water, I have a lot of health issues and I need those minerals even though it's minuscule in my water, it's too expensive to buy the mineralized bottled water plus I'm trying not to add extra microplastics into my system than I already have, I don't have it in me to keep up on a water filtration system like Berkey like I used to, can anyone recommend any trace minerals and how do I know how much to add to my water?

I need to replace my vacuum, it's pointless to keep buying filters for it or get it cleaned, it will cost more than it's worth. Need something easy and not super expensive, is there anything under 200? Carpet is so gross where I live.

The molars hitting and being able to chew is so important from what I've learned, I think all of my health is failing due to this, started decades ago, everything is screwed up now, including ability to eat, chew, swallow, dr dislocated my jaw, every tmj Dr made me worse, my posture is screwed from skull to toes, neck fallen forward and stuck, kyphosis, lordosis, I can't digest food, bowels aren't working, can't taste and smell, I'm a mess, can't find help, I'm beyong help at this point, my teeth sit on top of each either, they have broken down, palate is collapsing, I miss chewing, I need to be able to chew to activate things in my brain and body, I need something I can chew on from time to time to activate my brain stem and salivation, digestion, ECT, do they make anything for this? I don't live in an area where there's help so I'm on my own here.

The Grackels/Starling's/Blackbirds, whatever they are... have taken over my backyard, suet cakes, suet nuggets, birdseed logs, birdseed, gone in one day! Feeders, emptied! How do I feed the normal birds: bluejays, cardinals, sparrows, finches, nuthatchers, titmouses, woodpeckers of all kinds, grosbeaks, ECT.....without feeding the bully birds! They've been here before but not like this! Help please!

The Grackels/Starling's/Blackbirds, whatever they are... have taken over my backyard, suet cakes, suet nuggets, suet logs, birdseed, gone in one day! Feeders, emptied! Cat food for the cats, gone! This is insane! How do I feed the normal birds: bluejays, cardinals, sparrows, finches, nuthatchers, titmouses, woodpeckers of all kinds, grosbeaks, ECT.....without feeding these bully birds! I can't afford to feed them and none of my other regular birds are getting their food now! Ugh, so frustrated! They are all over the yard still, trying to get every last morsel! They've been here before but not like this! Help please!

I used to have an iPhone

Last one I owned was a 6

Loved it

Got hacked

Can't access it 😞

Pandemic happened

Health issues happened

Lost support

Not tech savvy

Took me yrs to get a phone again

Had crap pay as you go phones from 2020-2025

Got Samsung 25plus in fall 2025 in small town Verizon store where I live

I miss iPhone and need something for photography

Lot of health issues still and can't go back to shooting with a camera so I want a phone to help me out

I don't have access to old iPhone acct I don't think 😔

Different email now too

Want to go back to iPhone

But don't want to lose anything

I don't know how to back up things right or what I'm doing

Right now things are on Google photos cloud I think?

How do I make the switch, not lose anything and how do I maybe back up what I have now outside of a cloud?

I've heard they aren't reliable

I'm not tech savvy

Please help....
