things that annoy us

I know what you mean. I wonder if I get tired quicker. I get very snappy when I am tired.

Opening a window is far better than those nasty artificial sprays fresh air is a good natural cleanser.. Rose floral smells make me heave to me they mean poop... As a home help older people who had toilet issues would use those sprays a lot . So rose=poop

I'm with Cassie and Candy on this one and hate the things. In my opinion they could be detremental to health as all those particles breathed in have to have some effect on the body. Masking a smell does not really stop it either. It just means you have two sources of airborne particles competing for dominance.Open the windows and clear the air. As far as possible clean / wash or clear out the offending articles.

My local council ....we have to pay €100 per dog in tax each year.
Yesterday I received a letter with a voucher if I cycle all the way to the town hall all I am entitled to pick up up.and light for the dog's collar.
While stocks last!

My question was if they can send a letter to everybody who is registered as paying dog tax why not just send them the damn light?

And why until stocks last they know how many dogs are registered in this town they know how many lights they need....
Yet another half-baked plan from this town council.

I just saw an advert for skin care, and as part of it they said Life is what you make of it

Not always true.. their are situations that are sometimes beyond your control. Health issues, money situation, being homeless, what ever. I'm not sure life is what you make it is really the best advice. it's only true to an extent.

I know where you're coming from, Cassie: I am sometimes sick and it makes travelling difficult at times. But - in my ideal world - I'd travel the world and work full-time. I'd also achieve other goals. BUT it isn't possible. I can still go out and enjoy myself: I just can't do it across the world.

I - therefore - make the most of the small things and find happiness that way.

Forget her, Cassie: she isn't worth spending time on. And definitely NO Christmas present for her.

That is both rude and ungrateful...
Id have asked for my pound back...

I had a similar experience with a man selling the Dutch equivalent of The Big issue. I was with a visiting friend at the time so as we walked along we were speaking in English, he obviously heard us and started muttering about damn foreigners taking jobs and damn foreigners taking their homes etc the usual stupid racist rubbish...
I just wasn't going to put up with it and in perfect Dutch I told him exactly what his problem was and told him if he got off his backside and tried he probably would have a job and would have a house and that I had made the effort to learn the language and I have had to work hard and I paid more tax in my time in this country than he'd ever paid in his pitiful little life..

He looked quite shocked and I was quite shocked to hear a slight ripple of applause and comments of yes yes from people standing nearby who had heard the exchange. His tirade at me obviously wasn't the first of it's kind.


I know we shouldn't judge but it's one of the reasons why I give my money to the food bank and to the Salvation Army that way I know that it is being spent on food not on drugs or alcohol.

I often give money to charity. Not because I want praise or credit: but because I want to help people. It isn't out of guilt either. In fact, I give money to charity without telling anyone: this makes my intentions not about boosting my ego and doing it for popularity. Or even worse: out of pity.

When you add a perfume to a smell, you have perfume plus smell. That's it. The smell doesn't go away, you just get both.

Open the window!

Respect from me too, Cassie.

I read that as:
 Limited selection of styles of clothes in the shop. I shouldn’t complain really. What do you expect from a market of fish M population,

and thought you bought your clothes from a fish market. 

So I decided this was your typical dress.

I will have you know I quadrupled my alcohol intake over the two weeks. 

I had a glass of sangria, a glass of wine, and two malibus. 



Reading back on the stats, you may have  point.
