That's why the vote is made in a private polling booth.<br /><br />Anon. I have not been back to the farm - I am only literally two fields away but I have no wish to return. The only way I can keep going is to put that part of my life firmly behind me and concentrate on the here and now and my happy memories.<br /><br />Poor Western Australia - haven't they also had dreadful floods too?<br />RunNRose - Yes I was sad about Jill to but good that she didnt suffer long at the end.<br />Ishall miss her and her lovely watercolours of birds.

But I also think everyone needs to adjust their level of how much they are prepared to disagree with someone else, and when that line for them is overstepped and they choose to withdraw.<br />I have a friend who politically is on the opposite spectrum from me. We know that if we want to continue our friendship, we need to agree to disagree. However, if that friend did something that would be completely against my moral compass, I would have to re-think and probably end that friendship. It's all in the balance.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-85203987205090228172021-04-11T21:28:13.507-07:002021-04-11T21:28:13.507-07:00San Francisco here -- love your blog!

The two that was badly hit apparently didnot have the very strict building guidelines used in more cyclone areas. Here we have been having high seas due to something way south. Not sure if the end of this cyclone will affect us or not. We do need rain.

What an overwhelming shock that was to me. Yes, I knew she had serious health problems. But she had managed to hang in there through so many ups and downs, I just expected her to do so again. But, not so. Next after the feeling of sorrow came, for me, a feeling of great guilt. How I wish I had commented more often. She seldom had more than a few comments on her blog. She could not have known how much she was treasured. What a light her blog was in MY world, and, as it turned out, to quite a few others'. <br /><br />I don't want to repeat that mistake. Your blog is one of very few bright spots in my day. I always check in the morning, to see if you have posted early. Then, several times during the day. On the rare occasion when you miss a day or so, I worry. You are such an inspiration for your positive outlook on life, and for your sharing of your own life experiences. Your honesty in expressing your feelings is a big plus, I, too, am so glad you have a "carer" who really does care. <br /><br />Thank you so much for your blog, Hugs from Texas<br /><br />RunNRosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610154229648677906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-50584749323059468772021-04-11T14:27:06.271-07:002021-04-11T14:27:06.271-07:00Heather join the club falling asleep for no reason...Heather join the club falling asleep for no reason!<br /><br />Thanks to you all.

It's so easy and convenient to sweep it under the carpet because they don't want to face up to it and acknowledge that it's not acceptable. <br /><br />To say we're all different in our thoughts and beliefs is another way of turning a blind eye to the facts, that the Grand National is a horrendous experience for horses, resulting in many injuries that the public doesn't hear about, that mean many horses are euthanized after the race has finished. Once back in the trainers yard the decision is made not to "waste" money on veterinary treatment as the horses weren't placed and they're deemed to be no longer worth keeping. Greyhounds suffer a similar fate.<br /><br />But hey - lets turn a blind eye, they're only animals.

If those people all woke up and realised the cruelty behind it there wouldn't be spectators or gamblers and there would be no race. As long as people think it's acceptable and fun to allow such cruelty to happen to horses it will continue.<br /><br />Why do you think some of the fences were altered not long ago? To try to minimise the loss of life. Loss of life will continue as long as the race continues.<br /><br />A smaller life - readers object to a post and decide to stop reading when the blogger has shown a side of themselves that isn't acceptable to them. If a blogger that you read showed photos of their dog on a treadmill and the blogger later said they left the dog on too long and it died, with blood coming out of it's ears, mouth and eyes would you still keep visiting that blog? <br /><br />(the treadmill incident did actually happen although it was a famous dog trainer in the US who was then prosecuted.
