Latest moan from you and me - 2016

Give them a nice nick name

 

This happens frequently, and hacks me off. My neighbors have a wooded lot, as we also do. In the past their trees break off huge limbs and they fall on our property. Right now in fact there is a huge long one in front. They have two big fat boys who should get their lazy sterns out to clean it off ---but no---they don't do that. In the past I 've gone to their front door to tell them, and then they will do it. Its easy for them to notice. There is also a huge dead tree of theirs, with a good wind it will brake off and fall on a garage of ours, we had our lawyer draw up a letter regarding it, and we delivered it to them. So today, husband says we should just go out there and throw it all on their property, which we have in the past, and guess what, they just leave it there. LOL. Lazy people.

 

and then there is the begging for recused /abused dogs. yanks at your heart strings.

 

And don`t forget all the ambulance chasers.

 

You donate once, they hound you, and hound you.

 

I don't give to big charities, just the one which are not profiting and then i look hard to see if any bad thing about that charity

 

I personally don't listen to the radio stations that have adverts as they do my head in with their constant repeating of them,much rather listen to JVS on Three Counties when I can get him or Five Live

We have had the usual begging charity envelopes come through the door over the months and more so as it got nearer to Xmas, but never say no to the free pens we get or the free coasters we get from the British Red Cross

We already to belong to the RSPB,National Trust and English Heritage and when we are away on holiday we always buy gifts from those charities shops that we support and always make a point on visiting the RNLI shops to also buy gifts so I think we do enough at the moment but like others don't like the constant bombardment to get even more money especially when I read that the top people of these charities earn a good wage off of the back of said charities

 

And some places will ask you at the check out, "want to donate for----" I always say, I am already donating to my chosen cause.

 

As you all know I don't watch much TV (I find it a complete waste of time, I hate the soaps & I cannot tolerate the adverts telling me that I need this & that! Over Xmas I have watched a few programmes mainly wildlife programmes , but I've been getting really irritated by the charity adverts.....no I'm not horrible or selfish & yes I do give money to the charities that I choose, But that's just it 'what I choose' I don't want to be told that this person has no food, this child is living on the streets it's really horrible (it's meant to be I know) I just don't need to keep seeing it! Rant over! Bring me spring so I can unplug the tv & play in the dirt again!!!

 

I would give to an organization that would use the money to go out and abuse the abusers. Then publicize their name and address and place of occupation Until one comes along, I'll stick with the usual donations I give.

 

You know what REALLY REALLY annoys me? Went out for a stroll this morning - a small stone found it's way into my boot. No matter what I did, I couldn't shake it out of the boot and it ALWAYS seemed to make its way to the ball of my foot when I put the boot back on.

It's almost as if the little sod was deliberately hiding only to reappear once the boot had been replaced.
We're talking full lace walking boots here - a pain to take off and lace up again
