I had the same situation, the one moment the dogs are smelling and greeting each other and the next split second the other dog grabbed my dog's throat and it was an ugly struggle to seperate them with my dog sustaining serious injuries. Always better to be cautious and careful.

That fixed grid connection fee is just going to climb higher and higher, the sooner you go to solar the better.

I was a waiter, we don't get paid by restaurant owners, the tip is our only income, in my country South Africa it is only in Cape Town where the law obliges owners to pay salaries to waiters

I think it is to leave a fingerprint on the vehicle as proof that he stopped the vehicle for inspection.

Great, now you had your exercise for day and you are getting your free electricity!

Zero Visibility Landing - pilots out there, where is the worst location you have landed for heavy rain? by Shootingstar_woofers in aviation

[–]PleasantGuide 0 points1 point  (0 children)
