DB Sounds like your a bit surprised you may be able to sell the item at the price you wanted. Wouldn't that be great if you can rid yourself of the item and get some money for it. I've sold some items that were just collecting dust in my house and it's a great...

DB @dgobucks226 (22920) 7h

What items would you avoid throwing in your everyday trash? You wouldn't discard items that harm the environment and should be recycled like rechargeable batteries or old laptops. Nor would you throw away items which require...

Would You Eat a Chip Butty Sandwich

DKM @Corbin5 (193487) • United States 7 Jul

I never knew there was a sandwich called a chip butty. A chip butty comes to us from the UK, and it is a sandwich comprised of French fries on buttered toast. As for the bread used to make a chip butty, you can choose...

DB I would give it a try! I prefer catsup on my fries but maybe the Brits are on to something? Anyway, I might put together my own fry (chip) sandwich. My concoction would be to top it with melted cheese on a hard roll. Yummy!

Do you know the saying - there is more than one way to skin a cat?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (214357) • Bunbury, Australia 7 Jul

The photo has nothing to do with the text. It's one Vince took. The saying - there is more than one way to skin a cat - means there is usually more than one way of doing something or getting something done. I decided to change...

I am a gentle creature. But don't run up on me and try to spook me.

The Horse @TheHorse (109409) • Walnut Creek, California 5 Jul

I finally got some work recently, beneath an officer who has treated me gently and kindly. He gives me apple wafers, cleans my hooves, and talks to me gently. As an herbivore and herd animal, I enjoy the company of others, and...

DB Yes, running up on a horse is almost as bad as "beating a dead one." Which is what these "crazies" are doing with their protests... And a horse would never bite the hand that feeds him

Does Your Cat Pose For A Camera Shot?

DB @dgobucks226 (22920) 7 Jun

The Horse @TheHorse (109409) • Walnut Creek, California 17 Jun
