Lynn Fowler @dgobucks226 that statistic surprises me, but again, because I am in a country town the rates are much less than they are in the city. Some people here don't even bother locking their doors!

I'm currently housesitting, looking after a pair of long-haired Jack Russell Terriers. Laid back in the recliner to have a "nanna nap" and guess who decided that I would make a great mattress. They were nice and warm, but I'm...

Lynn Fowler Here they are often encased in coloured vinyl. I heard of a guy who was driving past a place with a lot of them in a paddock and managed to convince his granddaughter, who was with him, that they were marshmallows, and the farm was a marshmallow farm.
