What would you do if people in your neighborhood
Comments (28)You know, I'm probably the only one who (aside from safety issues) really doesn't think it's that big of a deal. I really can't understand why a nice talk wouldn't be the first option. Why would you first resort to signs or big landscaping projects? Why are people so afraid to talk to or confront people? You're really gonna offend them with a sign... Just try talking to them... Why resort to passive agressive measures as the first resort? And, yes, of course people can sue you, but they can sue you with a sign too (don't fool yourself), and some may be more likely getting hurt trying to jump your newly planted rose bush... Plus, don't most people have homeowner's insurance? I've heard this..."but someone could get hurt on your property and sue you" thing for years, and I have known of people getting hurt on people's property, but I have never ever heard of anyone actually suing anyone when they got hurt on their property without any real negligence. If people are that afraid about being sued, I'm surprise they don't have big gates around their entire yard and property to keep people totally out. It's sad that neighbors just really aren't really neighborly anymore.. Maybe it's because people don't allow cut throughs and nieghbors put up signs to keep other neighbor out. Gosh, in my neighborhood, we don't have side walks, and everyone walks on people's yards (especially when they have kids and dogs with them). The kids all hit balls into each other yards and everybody can go get them with no problem, etc... No body seems to care and we actually all seem to like each other and get along fine, go figure... Plus, no one has ever sued anyone either. It's sad to think you can't let your neighbor take a short cut and walk through your drive way just because it annoys you and you 'could get sued'....See MoreWhen You Baffle the Young 'Uns
Comments (56)My goodness Lydia, where do you live? If your washing gets polluted by the poor air quality what are everyone's lungs like? And may I ask what is a 'gas dryer'? Do you mean gas in the US sense . . . what we call petrol . . . or oil . . . or? Why is it OK for the Amish to use 'gas' but not electricity? Kath, we still have the old-fashioned over-head, on a pulley clothes airer, in the kitchen. Very useful for overnight drying, but stuff has to come down while cooking is going on or everything picks up kitchen smells. We do have a tumble drier for the many wet days but they are very expensive to run. I think over here the green Christmas full churchyard expression refers to having a mild end of year, often followed by a very cold/freezing January, when many old people were more likely to die. I wonder what other 'signs of poverty' cause house-buyers to turn faint. Here it would be piles of old car-parts, packs of dogs, chip/piazza wrappings/broken bottles/feral kids etc but clean laundry is considered a plus. Cleanliness being next to Godliness and all that....See MoreWhat is the Prettiest Thing in your Garden Today?

Comments (31)3katz, Short Answer: Oliver, our 10-year-old, had developed a greasy coat, his eyes were cloudy, and he was obese and bloated to the point he looked like he was listing sideways when he ran (I thought this was all due to old age). I started all four of my cats on Young Again in early July. Now Oliver’s coat is soft and shiny (no “grease”), his eyes are clear, he is no longer bloated and – what really convinced me – he jumps to the top ledge of our shower (it’s made of window block) – he used to do that all the time, but hadn’t in years! I have been feeding them Zero Mature Health. For background, Oliver was diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis at his last check up (made sense of all the cat puke, but with four I didn’t know who was vomiting unless I happened to witness the act). The vet said there was no treatment, to just bring him in for supportive care if he became anorexic. We had a four-year-old die very unexpectedly and it started with anorexia, so this scared me and I started researching pancreatitis in cats. That led me to catinfo.org whose vet blogger strongly advocates a wet food diet. That makes sense to me, but my cats think wet food is for treats and were very averse to transitioning to wet food only (plus I was afraid of an emergency arising that would prevent us from getting home to feed them – not a worry with dry kibble out all the time). The website said the only dry foods she would recommend were Young Again or EVO-something that I found was no longer made. Prior to the YA, they ate Purina One Sensitive Systems because one of my cats seemed to have food allergies (lots of crusty scabs on her coat). The YA isn’t that much more expensive since they consumed much more of the Purina One. The scabs have not returned since beginning the YA. I will warn you that my cats over-ate the YA for the first month or so and had diarrhea (they suffered no ill effects from it). Also, since it is high protein, it makes their poop REALLY stink. Hope this helps!...See MoreUser
