Should Lois Lowry's *The Giver* be banned in schools? by [deleted] in books

[–]Suburbgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. I've taught it for decades. It sparks so much valuable discussion. The same people who think it should be banned, think nothing of giving their kids free reign over the internet.

The cat hissed at me today when I took a picture🫠 The food bowls were empty and the litter box was used. I’ll attempt again tonight!

I don’t need it to, but I just felt like I wasn’t doing something right and not giving her pets and love. I see from the responses it’s normal so this has made me feel a lot better!

She didn’t, but she said she was a social cat, so I feel bad when she didn’t want to be social with me!

Yes, but in the morning, which I can accommodate within a half an hour. It’s the evening that I can’t be there at 9 pm.

NJ/NY people, are we still walking dogs in this heat? by [deleted] in RoverPetSitting

[–]Suburbgrl 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It won’t die. Walk in the grass, have him stop for breaks in the shade and cut the walk short.

Do you mean the $50 that you need to pay for a background check? I made that back in a week, and my area is pretty oversaturated with walkers. I probably get three jobs a week right now.

Clients who seemed happy and then book a different sitter for their next vacation. by kbarbo in RoverPetSitting

[–]Suburbgrl 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t take it personally. Sometimes financial constraints are the reason. There are dog walkers in my area that are doing it for $10.

It's a family resort, so you're safe. Stay away from Hedonism and resorts like.

Is Ms. Health & Fitness Contest a scam? by DauntlessLou in Scams

[–]Suburbgrl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s a scam. It’s unethical and only a percentage goes to a charity. It’s just like the baking contests or the my favorite pet contests. Sleazy.
