Puppy nappies not needed

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385949) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Jul

I wrote about my brother-in-law and his wife getting a new cavoodle puppy. My sister-in-law said they’d bought a bed, collar, lead and other bits and pieces including puppy nappies. I’d never heard of such a thing. They were a bit...

vanny I love dogs, but in retrospect, we never had a female dog...which is weird realization. Not that we feared dowry or whatever. But now that you mentioned in heat, my mind is questioning whether they too have red blood flowing out or not. Why on earth do I get...

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385949) • Rockingham, Australia 18 Jul

The photo is another from the training sailing ship Leeuwin which is docked in Fremantle Harbour in Western Australia. In the kitchen was a notice regarding the disposal of various waste materials. The rules apply only when the...

How long do you spend on housework?

Fleur @Fleura (36149) • United Kingdom 11 Jul

I once complained that vacuuming the entire house took me three hours (and made me really mad, because I was convinced the vacuum cleaner had a personal vendetta against me), so my partner said from now on he would do it. I was...

Climate change causes an increase in child brides

Judy Evans @JudyEv (385949) • Rockingham, Australia 9 Jul

It may seem an odd fact, but when tropical storms hit poor Asian communities, it has a devastating effect on communities. A warmer atmosphere and rising sea temperatures increase the intensity of tropical storms, impacting heavily...

vanny It was customary to ensure security of the children basically. If they lost a family, to calamities, they would have another family to turn to. When girls became dowry bringers is not something I know. But dowries have made girls a "burden". This is a society...

Fleur @Fleura (36149) • United Kingdom 4 Aug 25

My friend, let’s call her Emilia, was expecting a baby. She already has four children and the family are due to move to Scotland soon – they always seem to be juggling a ridiculous number of things at once! As well as all the...

Is there a best age for retirement?

The Horse @TheHorse (239850) • Walnut Creek, California 1 Jul

Everything hurts. I have oral surgery today.

The Horse @TheHorse (239850) • Walnut Creek, California 11 Jun

A week after my knee surgery, I have oral surgery. A crown came off, and my dentist said they can't put it back on. Next will be a lens replacement in my right eye. To quote Rico Rizzo from Midnight Cowboy, "I'm fallin'...

vanny Grateful that you spared the crutch the weight. Evil Grin. What happened? Did you meet a good lady surgeon or at least a lady nurse during your surgery? You should always keep your eyes open for opportunities and brain closed to negative observations. Sigh.......

What are your best and worst attributes on MyLot?

The Horse @TheHorse (239850) • Walnut Creek, California 20 May

Do you use on-line banking?

The Horse @TheHorse (239850) • Walnut Creek, California 26 Apr

Did you see the video of Trump pooping his pants in the Oval Office the other day?

The Horse @TheHorse (239850) • Walnut Creek, California 4 Feb
