A Gate to Nowhere

DianneN @DianneN (253333) • United States 11 Apr

I just had a conversation with @Sallypup about fences and gardening. Our 2+ acre lot at our home in Connecticut is too large for a fence for my cheapo husband to have put up to keep the wildlife at bay. So, I do what I can. I...

Shiva Once I got more from a check I had encashed at a bank. When I realized the error I returned the excess. The cashier was shocked at her oversight. Obviously, it is the right thing to do as someone has to pay for the mistake and the excess money was not mine.

Judy Evans @JudyEv (377346) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Apr

I know times have changed a lot since I was a youngster, but I was taught not to let dogs lick my face. I guess it was for hygienic reasons, yet I see dozens of video clips of dogs licking faces, sometimes of quite young babies....

Shiva In developed countries there are strict protocols about upkeep of pets. But in many countries, nothing like that exists and even rabies are not uncommon. So better to play it safe and maintain a safe distance.

Winterishere @thedevilinme (5085) • Northampton, England 8 Apr

emptychair @innertalks (23649) • Australia 6 Apr
