Another island freed of feral cats

Judy Evans @JudyEv (381638) • Rockingham, Australia 5 Jun

The photo is another one from the display which is in our clubhouse. It has nothing to do with the discussion. North-east of Tasmania, in Bass Strait, lies the Furneaux Group of islands, one of which is Little Dog Island. It has...

Baconstripsxxx That is really encouraging news. It’s amazing how quickly nature can begin to recover when predators are removed and native wildlife finally gets a chance again.

How do you guys handle rude remarks online?

Michael Duff @Wrexxo (1527) 5 Jun

..so I commented on someone's post the other day asking for solution to a problem they raised. The person replied saying i should read the post. I felt the comment was rude, but I didn't want to enter into any argument or back...

Baconstripsxxx I probably would have felt a bit put off by that too. Sometimes people reply quickly and come across more blunt or rude than they intended, but “read the post” definitely doesn’t sound very welcoming.

Baconstripsxxx That sounds like an incredibly scary situation, and I’m glad Marissa made it out safely. Flash floods can turn dangerous unbelievably fast, especially in small towns where water rises before people have much warning.

I am hobbling around with only one crutch. Around my house, I don't even use the crutch. I am not experiencing that much pain. I drove my helpful friend to the Sushi place last night, and will be able to work today. Thanks for...

Baconstripsxxx I tend to prefer tubes too because they feel more hygienic and less messy. It’s definitely more convenient not having to dip fingers into a product every time, especially for lip balm or creams.

The romance of maps.

Fiacre Banks @xFiacre (14770) • Ireland 5 Jun

I’ve just off-loaded about a dozen ordinance survey maps of Ireland, the kind that give you every turn in the road. They were particularly useful when holidaying in remote areas of Connemara and Donegal where often there are no...

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (127114) • United States 5 Jun

Baconstripsxxx Many city residents lived in apartment buildings and didn’t always have full kitchens, so food vendors and markets were a big part of daily life. Fresh produce, bread, olive oil, and prepared meals were commonly sold.

Eva James @wolfgirl569 (135511) • Marion, Ohio 4 Jun

Baconstripsxxx Donating them to a church yard sale or charity shop is a great idea. They tend to be popular items because baking equipment is always useful, especially for families or community baking projects.
