I interrupt the fun and games for a sad announcement - feel free to ignore and go on with your merriment.

Sayonara obachan. You will be missed. This picture is 15 years old, but really shows her kind and generous heart.

I’m sorry for your loss. She looks like she’s an amazing person. She will forever live in the lives she touched.

It is a little nano tank (only 20 gal). I think it will be super fun to have, I am just worried about the move. I don’t want to have to tell my friend if any of her livestock die from shock

What method will you be using? Will you be using the water it currently has, or starting fresh? Just curious, I love aquariums, ponds, that sort of stuff.

Oh and I remembered why I don’t like eating big globs of peanut butter straight from the jar (or too much on a sandwich, etc.).... it sticks to my throat so bad and no matter how much water I drink I can’t get rid of it unless I eat something and even then it’s usually just time that eventually does it.

Like right now... I ate two spoonfuls like 20 minutes ago and I still feel it in my throat

But then again I eat huge spoonfuls of it so maybe that’s why

chew, chew, chew 40X before you swallow this allows the breakdown of the lump to little clumps or squishy yumminess. No benefit comes from swallowing whole a beeping tbsp full of Peanut butter, or any nut butter for that matter.

I do hope she passed in her own way. This is a part of why I really like/respect the philosophy of Shintoism.

How's your Dobie doing? Feeling any jealousy toward the baby duck(s)?

She was in hospice care for the last week or so, but she was at home. We couldn't all be with her, but we had Zoom meetings when she was coherent enough.

probably true! I usually do chew it but clearly not enough

Someday I plan to learn how to shoot. If I learn how to properly care for a gun and how to shoot it, I might buy one. Someday.

One bit of sage advice for future gun experience with a positive outcome. The techniques used for archery & crossbows is exactly the same for fundamentally handling a gun as well. So if you want to get a good used bow and quiver and eventually a bail of hay/straw then you can take to YouTube for videos on how to's:
A) breathing
B) hand stiffness yet, not deathgrip
C) solving the dominant eye trivia
D) holding breathe & exhail for each shot
E) shoulder & stance (relaxed but still & firm)
F) meditation on visualizing the arrow(and eventually bullet) hitting the exact spot on the target your aiming for.
G) cheaper still is the wrist rocket/slingshot with surgical tubing and a small leather cup for a pebble/stone/beebee's for very beginning cheap entry into dexterity improvement as well as the above points too. [ETA part 2 was "g"]

Currently working with our 14y/o girl with her 1st compound bow. My uncle wrote a book for this and was a coach for the US Olympic team many years ago..... So yeah, I am admittedly biased for the arrow & bolt vs. the slug & bullet/shot.

We will be doing the other two younger girls soon as well.

[ETA: my experience with both forms of tools/weapons is where I am coming from. From the antique rifles, revolvers, single shot pistols, to my time in military with 9mm & 45's, Mossberg 500, & the m-14 &16's.]
