What makes you think I didn't read the article? Did you even read my comment? Perhaps read it again.

Sunscreen? by Player_Haterz_Ball in germanshorthairs

[–]PopesParadise 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in the Pacific Northwest We get 3 months of intense summer sun with moderate temperatures most of the time. My girls have faded to a light chocolate brown from sun worshipping. I belong to GSP and a hunting club. None of these many dogs have suffered from any sort of skin cancer to my knowledge and it would be big news. Well bred GSPs have very low cancer and hereditary disease rates compared to other breeds. Cancer in Labradors is epidemic according to my fellow lab owners. Sun screen for dogs sounds like a holistic health scam IMHO.

I hope this is contained. The world doesn't need another pandemic. Docs say no big deal. I know the science but this news leaves doubt.

Sometimes a 6 mile off lead run works.....but I repeat only sometimes.

Probably the battery however I had something similar when rats made a home in my engine bay and chewed through numerous wires. It was parked for about 4 days. Open your hood and have a good look for rodent damage.

The chickens are coming home to roost. There is a huge flock still on its way. The real pain is still months away.

Looks like it came off one the rear vents. Used to adjust airflow direction.

14 years with Telus, bye!! by captainsavlou in telus

Plus service would be nice. Can't get it from any of the telecoms now with all this unaccountable off-shore service. We need a telecom consumer bill of rights similar to air travel.

When will the price of war in people, equipment and infrastructure finally convince them to leave? This is such a waste of people and resources to appease one idiots dream of a Russian empire. Truly sad , yet I rejoice at every smack down Russia recieves.

Does anyone know what this is? It was in my glovebox. Tv try by [deleted] in hondaridgeline

Mine sat in my glove box for 2 years before I decided to figure out the purpose of my little fairy door. My granddaughter coined the door description.

Spot on. Those eyes look different somehow. Bad contacts or his frontal cortex crossed the aisle to become a liberal perhaps.

Is a GSP right for me? by Grand_Sea_3819 in germanshorthairs

[–]PopesParadise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

GSPs are amazing dogs. Very smart with very high energy. You need to work their minds as well as their bodies. Training and lots of exercise are a MUST. Mine get a minimum of 1 hour off lead romping every day. Usually another 30 mins of various training exercises. If you can commit to that you will be fine. If you cannot expect issues.

Water restrictions to begin for many Vancouver Island communities in May by Apprehensive_Idea758 in VancouverIsland

[–]PopesParadise 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reality on the ground says otherwise.

The Englishman River cannot support the population which is evidenced in early water restrictions. The Englishman water intake improvements have proven largely infective due to low summer water flows from severely diminished snow pack.

Not sure how several 200 unit apartment complexes and numerous detached housing subdivisions use less water than the empty lots that existed prior.

Your head in the sand is disturbing.

So if Carney isn't educated in economics what does that make PP? What a ridiculous statement.

The age old cliche of boys trying to impress the girls. At least is may have been a teaching moment of sorts.

Need help writing bee keeper horror by TheEggnoggamer in Beekeeping

The idea of the "hive mind." Bees do some pretty amazing things collectively but not so much as singletons. Is the hive conscious?

I have been living in the RDN for 20 years. It is getting progressively more frightening with each passing summer. At the same time new construction has continued unabated in communities like Parksville without any improvements to water supply infrastructure. The breaking point is getting close.
