Where's the fun and adventure in that?

Yeah, some of us like living on the edge. Now siphoning gas is another thing. Just the smell of gas makes me

If they made ice cream flavored fish tank water DD would be in line to try it!

Also, I forgot to post this the other day but I thought this was funny.

This person ordered a crate knowing full well how big it is..... then complained it was too big.....

And why do you have a Great Dane in an apartment anyway? That is your own fault and also so not fair to the dog lol

I get that sometimes people don't realize quite HOW big something is, like you have the numbers but don't realize it maybe, or sometimes shoes are smaller than they look online, etc. But it's literally 6 inches bigger than the biggest crate size available in stores and advertised specifically for GIANT breeds so of course it's big.... plus I thought it was common knowledge to know basic measurements like how big 48 inches is and that this is bigger than that???

Oi... some people

I believe it's a classic scenario where somebody wants a big dog, but they don't have the know-how train them. Asheron, my great Dane He has the run of the house and never get up on any furniture. He has a massive pillow on the floor. Just as he never jumps up on anyone. Good manners starts early in puppyhood. It's sad to to think of such a noble dog caged in a cell (IMO).

Good Morning Friends

DMC your kitty pics are adorable!

No Christmas tree for us because of the cats who I know for sure would just destroy it.

Thank you Capricorn .. yep, had a wonderful time but, as always, good to be home.

I have been tossing up whether to share a progress pic of my latest cross stitch but as we were [late to the party, as always] talking crafts; here goes ….

This one has been in the making for the past 3 months, working on it most evenings for a couple of hours:

Good Morning, a lot to a catch up on here.

For sure I will never have a fish tank, no way would I be able to clean one by siphoning . My brother used to raise some tropical fish, he had 2 tanks, one holding tank to move them to while cleaning the main tank.

Thanks Ron for the tips on fragile packages and the link to the video - eye opening

CF your raised beds are really looking nice, hope ya post the final pics when done

I saw stuff like that first hand when I dropped off a package to fedex in Chico. The guy asked if the package could take a six foot drop and when I said yes, he turned and chucked it ten feet into a six foot deep bin.

This was not a fragile package but still...

Mom's retired from the PO. Often on days when we were sharing a car, I'd wait for her on the loading dock. They guy who drove the distribution truck was a jerk. If it said fragile, he'd throw it further and harder—but one day he got his just rewards... He missed the tag that said "Live Bees" and he quickly found himself inside his truck with 3000 angry bees.
