We're family, no matter where were from ❤haha I didn't always dare to voice them (after all, I'm a filthy foreigner w/serious envy of youse guyse down under) lol
haha, very kind, dear February However, some mods (runs away from no one in particular) make one a bit nervous. I've been on a month banning once, that was enough for me to learn to toe the line eeeeeeek lolWe're family, no matter where were from ❤
Well, I guess we just have to not be too vocal and express our beliefs to the point of insulting/offending others. I learned to keep moderate in my posts on the first forum I frequented years ago. It's hard sometimes when there are antagonists out to get you.haha, very kind, dear February However, some mods (runs away from no one in particular) make one a bit nervous.

I was guilty of referring to Caitlin Jenner by her former name (because I was quoting an instance in a long ago Kardashian episode) but it got two of us banned becase someone else had an issue w/something she had said politically. whew lolWell, I guess we just have to not be too vocal and express our beliefs to the point of insulting/offending others.

I had a warning awhile ago.on another forum I post on, "telling me off" for trying to beat the bad language filter - which I was guilty of
At least we don't have that here. That filter includes the mildest of language or innuendo. Probably because there's a wider age group posting!
I was actually quite shocked to be in trouble ... or caught out, I should say.
Shark tank had an entrepreneur pitch a travel app using pointsToday I had a very unsuccessful trip to Flight Centre to book my first trip home in 5 years, only to be told we now have to book an appointment to be there. So Wednesday afternoon it now is! Talk about inconvenience and disappointment! 6 days and counting!
We'd book it online ourselves if it was a direct return trip to the UK, but we're doing the New York run in the same trip to see my stepson and family, and rather use an agent so there's someone to sort out any problems that may arise with travelling the way it is now.

Googled this website which covers April 2023...don't know if any information helps though....Our latest hold up is car hire in the IK. I uswd to book a car as soon as id bookef the flight, a good 10 montgs in advance. I tried booking for next april, and it comes uo nothing availavle, yet if i try for january, cars come up. So it seens now you can only book 3 months in advance.
I tried Hertz, Europe Car, Thrifty as they're all that's left in Ipswich UK. Avis, which we've always used has now closed die. I wonder if this is all covid fallout.
I saw that site. I'll have another look tomorrow. I think it was pick up and drop off location problems. Picking up Ipswich, suffolk, dropping off Glasgow city.Googled this website which covers April 2023...don't know if any information helps though....

Tried again from that link, and again it says no cars available!I saw that site. I'll have another look tomorrow. I think it was pick up and drop off location problems. Picking up Ipswich, suffolk, dropping off Glasgow city.
I also rang Drive Away Holidays and the guy there couldn't book what is been trying to book, and told me to try again next month as the prices may not be out yet.
How jolly cute you two are!Today (well, yesterday) I adopted "Grandma" Katoro from the pagoda in Phnom Penh. I have mentioned her before, she had been attacked by someone, who left her leg so badly broken amputation was the better choice. I had considered the possibility her leg got broken after she'd slept
under a car in the shade or something. But one other dog, and a cat, also suffered broken legs in the last two years and all three of them lived in the same part of the pagoda, near the main entrance. And since then, her granddaughters Rathna and Rathany have both disappeared (i.e. likely stolen for dog meat). So yes, a very high possibility her injury was no accident, unfortunately.
So Sunday night, I took the night bus down, getting in at 5.30am yesterday. Had a few chores to do while I was in the big city, so quickly got those done and then took her to the NGO vet to get her shots updated, before a driver brought us back to Siem Reap to start her new life.
As it's her new life, I've given her a new name and she will now be known as Ruby. Because she's krahom (red).
I'm so happy to have her here and I have to say she was very excited when I turned up. That's the second time I'd been back since I left PP in March and both times she was beside herself when I turned up. I feel a bit sad separating her from her remaining daughter, Mea, and her buddy/erstwhile boyfriend Grandpa, not to mention the only home she's ever known. But I believe it's for the best, and I had the monk's blessing. And she'll have my undivided attention... and she'll be good company for me as well, and provide security too. So a win-win.

I'm not sure if Monk Chea told us her age, or if the vet estimated it, when she broke her leg, but we think she's about 6 and a half now. If that's right she'd have been born in May 2016. But she could be a bit older, I think. I was very wary of the dogs at the pagoda back then because a pack of them chased me quite aggressively once when I first started walking through there.How old do you think Ruby is @timmy?
I think it's wonderful you both have a good 7/8 years in the furure together. You've done a beautiful thing taking her into your home. I hope you both have a lovely time together. It's good to hear a nice story for a change ❤I'm not sure if Monk Chea told us her age, or if the vet estimated it, when she broke her leg, but we think she's about 6 and a half now.
