Years ago a new large church named "These Are They" was built close to our neighborhood. One Saturday while driving by the church we saw men working outside so we decided to drop by and welcome them to the neighborhood. We were greeted by a friendly fellow who said they appreciated our welcome. He then said, and I quote, "We wish you white folks would join our church because we want your checks in our collection plate!". Fast forward ten tears to last week. A knock on the door. There stood a nicely dressed gentleman with a "These Are They" name plate pinned to his suit coat. After customary greetings the gentleman said, and I again quote, "I noticed you have a very nice house so I stopped by to invite you to attend our church or at least make a donation.". I politely thanked him for coming by but I could not donate at this time. Even though years have gone by it seems this church still has a very money oriented soul saving ministry.

No offense to any religious group intended. I was merely pointing out these two particular church members recruiting strategy.

We have rabbits running though the yard all of the time, cute tiny ones to parents. I don't see any damage to the plants. But then again we have a ton of plants, they can have some bites. I only keep them out of the veggie garden.

We have lots of wild gray bunnies running about in the spring. Our cat used to go get a baby, bring it home to play with. We had to be on bunny watch to save Sunny's catches. She hasn't done that for a couple of years.

WALMART CUSTOMER CLAIMS TOILET WATER BURNED HER BOTTOM
 
DALLAS -
A North Dallas woman claims the water in a Walmart toilet was so hot, it burned her bottom.

Lakendra Burns -- her real name, according to the police report she filed Monday -- claims that while she was using the bathroom at the Walmart on Montfort Drive,  hot water splashed.

The report also says she bought a thermometer from the store and went back to the bathroom stall to check the temperature of the toilet water. 

She told police the thermometer read 109 degrees.   Burns said she did notify the manager before making the police report.  She was not seriously hurt.

A spokesperson for Walmart says they are looking into the incident but was not aware of it until FOX 4 contacted them.

That's just crazy " L"! Wonder if somebody switched the hoses so hot water ran into the toilet instead of cold? I sure would like to know what they found out in "The End" on Burn's burnt bottom :LOL:

When they run water to a toilet it is just a cold line and wonder if the store had plumbing work done way away from the toilet and if it effected the other toilets .just seems odd to me .
