The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley
This is to try to rectify a problem I caused with my post WELCOME. I was trying to help.
Previously I posted "For those who don't know, when a post comes that a new member has joined Neighbourly, if you click on 'LIKE' , your screen should show the word 'WELCOME', so then click on that.
By ticking LIKE THANKS and REPLY you participate more fully and help others on this website. There are noticable glitches such as the absence of 'reply' which can be very frustrating, but so is life. Cheers all."
. I deliberately used the word SHOULD.
Sandra politely posted that it didn't work for her. It doesn't always work for me or Sandra. I then thought the best way to rectify my posting was to remove my original post as it was misleading. Calamity, greater than throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I actually threw the bath out as well. So ALL the following relevant posts were also deleted (Neighbourly grh). l, likes, thanks and Sandra's posting. Sorry about that, so I post a request for NEIGHBOURLY to advise us what is the fail safe way to acknowledge and welcome new members. Ps I am not holding the air in the two receptables given to me at birth. Don't forget to smile, but cross your fingers when you try to help people. Cheers all
Best way to use leftovers?
I'm sure you've got some excess ham at home or cold roast potatoes.
What are some of your favourite ways to use leftover food from Christmas day? Share below.
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
