I have to laugh. I was thinking about our current state of society and how people no longer want to talk on the phone. They will only text.

It took me go back to my early teen years, maybe even younger, when I would talk to my boyfriends for hours at a time on the PHONE. Mom would get on occasionally and say she needed to use it to make a call. We would disconnect for a bit and call each other back.

At times, we were just sitting in silence, I guess, "listening to each other breathe?" It sure beat texting each other for a full-blown conversation.

Sometimes all people need are "8 minutes" of your time to TALK to make a difference in their life.

Update, trying by zooming in and now I am loading and loading and loading...

When I try to post a canva flyer to Instagram it is cutting off part of the flyer. I will google. Surely there is a fix?

There was an article regarding a woman who found bats in her home in Illinois.

Her dog was not up to date on a rabbis vaccination and would have needed to be quarantined/kenneled for some time because bats can bite animals and you don't even know it. She couldn't afford to quarantine her dog.

I will start by saying that this incident was an accident and the person feels very bad about it. This post is to educate not to criticize.

We got this baby in tonight. The person that brought her said she was run over on purpose. I gave very careful instructions to the person helping it to scoot it into a box using caution. Someone came along to help her and did not use caution. He picked up with his hands instead of scooting it into the box. The raccoon bit him. Raccoons are rabies carriers. Because it bit the man it will now have to go for rabies testing. This means it will loose its young life because the test requires brain tissue. This could have easily been avoided. It seems that this poor animal just did not have a chance tonight.

Please use caution when dealing with wildlife. Contact a licensed rehabber and follow directions. Always wear thick gloves and find something to help slide the animal into a box or carrier with.

I ask the person who posted

"Get a job" in reference to the article about our local homeless community

How many months could you stay in your residence without a paycheck? Just wondering 🤔

That comment "get a job" is actually counterintuitive? You are telling someone to hire that person.

When someone works for someone else they have to be HIRED by them.

That isn't always as easy as you MIGHT think and in some ways is out of their control.

And they complain on Nextdoor because there are so many people offering "services" now. Go figure !

I am STILL putting this together. I might offer a mix and match price so you can pick what items you want and I will price it from there. The whole package will be $40 ISH...
