Cows quite often are confused about that. And sometimes they will just reject a calf for no apparent reason. We are not talking about rocket scientists here. :D

Reply to comment by Laurenhynde82 in Oiling wooden worktops - some areas won’t take the oil, can anyone advise? by Laurenhynde82
Just wipe off the extra that's left. If there is a lot on top just spread it around. If it is messy and sticky, you need to wipe off more. You should not be able to actually feel the oil when you are finished.

Keep putting on more oil until it evens out. The wood is likely soaking it all up because it is so dry.
Oil them lightly once a month after this.

Sleep deprived parents. Babies who will be much cuter with some chub on those cheeks.

There are screens (or supposed to be) in the hose where it attaches to the supply lines. Sometimes they get clogged. Take the hoses off the supply and check the screens.

Get the fire department to come check your house for carbon monoxide. ASAP. You could wake up DEAD tomorrow morning.

Reply to comment by Jolly-Performer in Hanging 15 lbs child from a 1x6 over head. Which supports more downward force - screwing horizontally into the 1” edge, or vertically straight up into the 6” face? by Jolly-Performer
You can put the screw eye directly into the header board. That transfers some of the load to the vertical framing.

There has to be a header board across the top of the opening, or it would collapse.
Get a long screw and drive it in until you feel more resistance. That will tell you how long your screws need to be.
Don't underestimate the force that will be acting on the screws. That child is going to grow fast, and they get wild in those jumpers.

Reply to comment by Traditional-Dog199 in How much should I expect as a Workmans comp settlement? by Traditional-Dog199
I am going to say you don't need an attorney at this point. Attorneys become involved when there is disagreement about where the injury took place, which happens with things like herniated discs etc, or if you feel the settlement offer is not adequate.
All of this will be paid through your employer's WC insurance carrier, not directly from the employer

What will happen is that the dr will determine the amount of permanent impairment you have, as a % of function of each part of your body. Each part of your body has a multiplier assigned to it for 100% impairment. So if your ankle is half permanently impaired, it will get half the multiplier. Then that amount is factored into a formula that includes your annual salary. All those add up to the total of your settlement. The WC insurance company will make an offer. If you think it's fair, you accept the offer, and then it has to be signed by a judge. Then you get a check, (tax-free) and go on your merry way.
If you don't agree with the degree of impairment, then you get an attorney to negotiate the offer.
This was my experience in TN and I am sure it is similar in every state, since it's all regulated by the US Department of Labor.
I got $13,000 in 2009, for a 7% impairment of my leg, after a fall in which my kneecap dislocated. I was making about $68k at the time. I was able to go back to my job with some short term restrictions, which were removed after about 6 months.
Don't forget to turn in your vehicle mileage for reimbursement. I took the dates of all my appointments and looked up the mileage on Google maps.
Another component of workers comp is vocational rehab. If you can't do your job you can get training to do something less physically demanding.

Reply to comment by AltReality in Federal taxes are not being taken out of my paycheck... by AltReality
From the info your employer has on file, you have zero Federal tax liability.
How much do you make? And do you have significant pre-tax deductions, like 401k or medical insurance?
You have FOUR standard deductions. Not 2.

So take $400 and divide by the number of paychecks, and have that much extra taken out of each check.

Reply to How can a bank make it possible for their customers to get their salary up to two days in advance? by Franck_Dernoncourt
They can see the pending transaction before you do. Also they know there is a long history of that deposit on that date.
They won't do it if you keep a low balance, bounce checks, or have irregular deposits.

Stay out of chains and go to a good local optometrist with his/ her own shop. Ask around for recommendations on someone competent and ethical.

A Hereford bull and a Holstein cow will produce sterile offspring? Not even Dr. Pol talked about that. Learn something every day.
