Her close friend was parked outside her boyfriend’s house in the inner city. When she returned to her car, she heard meowing. Searched her car and found a kitten under the bonnet, on top on the car engine. It didn’t belong to any of the neighbours. So she took it home but one of her family is allergic. Thankfully, one of their other friends is able to take care of it. I don’t think Max and a kitten would be a good combo. My next door neighbor has a German Shepherd and two cats.The cats were the first to live there and they get along great with the dog. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a very successful and effective ad campaign in the 80s - Slip, Slop, Slap that drilled into us the sunsafe message. My very best wishes go to you. Your pictures are amazing. Please keep them coming! 2 hours ago, dani negreanu said: Thank you, I appreciate your post. Yes, "we" had almost 7 months of quiet, which came yesterday night to an abrupt end... Sadly, there are extremists on both sides, and they "dirige the music". Hopefully, our leaders will defuse the situation, before it will be too late. Dani, you have to know how close Jack and I feel about what goes on in Israel. We hope those leaders defuse the situation quickly. Israel's Iron Dome Defense is amazing at intercepting those rockets launched at Israel. However, it will always remain a volatile area. Hoping you and your family, our family and all of Israel remain safe. Edited April 19, 2022 by BonTexasNY 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We spent more than 10 years shivering on the sidelines watching our kids play football. My youngest was still playing till his late 20s until a injury stopped him. He loves being part of a team and use to come home every weekend from uni to play with his old school mates . My eldest trained as a ref at age 15 and use to ref until he went to university. Luckily he was always tall for his age as he had to use his authority on the pitch with some of the parents of the kids playing. They got quite aggressive sometimes. My daughters went to a HS that did not have sports teams.My 17 year old granddaughter is on her school Basketball team and is Co-Captain of the Tennis team. She is also on a travel soccer team.Her 13 year old sister is on her school Basketball team and the soccer team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is turning into a marathon ride just to get to Savannah. Looks like you still have 4 more hours of driving yet to go. We are heading from Draper Va. to Southport, NC on Friday.........Hoping it's a 5 hour drive and don't run into hold ups like you have had. We are passing by St. Augustine right now... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We missed our dinner cruise on the Starlight yacht in Tampa. Bumper to bumper traffic and nothing was moving for quite a while. So we called. they gave us a credit after charging cancellation fee of $25 pp. Another time we decided to take some alternate routes, got lost and ended up at a winery in the boonies (Keel and Curley or something). Best traffic jam ever!!!!😉 The winery was great, their lunch was great and their u pick farm was absolutely wonderful! I purchased a bottle of Blueberry wine and strawberry Rose.This was during the strawberry festivals in and around Plant City. Last week when we drove back to NJ, we started in the evening at 6, so we stopped at Jacksonville then Rocky Mount NC. Looooong drive. But traffic was fine after Jax and after NC next day... Till I-95 VA.......horrendous! Drive safe. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
