Ive been approached more and more lately as well.
If you give money to crazy dirty people in store parking lots you are part of the problem.
They wouldn't be there if there was no $$$$ to get.

You can't love an EX? Where do you put that love?
Well, good for you for getting past the bad stuff. By the time my ex became my ex...I had no love left there.

Cheers to you for forgiveness and for presenting it to him before he goes.

You have a very kind heart.
I can't give money to beggars, because I just do not have money to throw away. And even if I did have "extra" money, I would not give it to someone begging, I would donate it to an animal shelter, abused womens shelter, homeless shelters.
We went out today to get gas for the car and a guy walks up to me and asks if he can ask me a question. I said, sure, as long as you aren't asking for money. He immediately walked on to the next car. Can't get away from them.

Always listen to that voice inside telling you that you are in danger even if you feel silly about it. I read a story years ago about a woman who was carrying groceries. She was approached by a man asking if she needed help. Her inner alarm went off but she dismissed it thinking she was being silly. He helped her with her bags and followed her inside where be raped and robbed her.

I was at a park once with my dog Diablo. We were in the car when a van pulled up and a guy got out and approached my window. I rolled it up most of the way before the guy asked me for directions to Walmart. My inner voice was yelling that something wasn't right so I quickly gave him directions and moved to start the engine. The guy leaned in and said "why don't you drive to Walmart now and I'll follow you" . As he leaned in I looked over and saw another guy in the van staring at me. Just then my dog jumped up and started barking at the guy like crazy, snarling and jumping in my lap. ( keep in mind this is a very mellow and sweet dog. He never had done anything like that before) Reacting to the barking the guy backed away and said "smart dog" as he turned to leave.

I don't know what that guy wanted or intended to do but I know it wasn't good. I felt it and so did Diablo. In the 4 years I have had him he has only done that to exactly 2 people. That guy and one other. Makes me believe the saying "if my dog doesn't like you then I probably shouldn't either"

Exclamation How to tell the sex of a bird

This Is AMAZING!!!

Until now I never fully understood how to tell The difference Between
Male and Female Birds. I always thought it had to be determined surgically. Until Now.

Below are Two Birds. Study them closely...See If You Can Spot
Which of The Two Is The Female.
It can be done. Even by one with limited bird watching skills.!

Guys are like that, always telling the women to go cook, clean, burp the baby and 100's of other things we do. I wish they would just quit yapping at us.

This does not look like an Iowa Forecast...



This is from the local news. The Weather Channel has us hotter...101 tomorrow, 103 Sunday and Monday. I had to double check that an make sure I wasn't looking at Las Vegas instead. Of course people here are whining and wishing for snow.

Haha...looks like it could be Las Vegas, except the clouds! Usually we are all yellow orbs! Lately, with the monsoon season, we have clouds. Enjoy!
