Well, it's another Monday, and for a change, there's no holiday; tax season is done, (except for those extensions!), no real gossip, at least on this end, and I don't service my route until next month, so no new news there, so I thought I'd add a survey I received today from BestFriends.
I don't know if it is a permanent or temporary survey, so am adding the URL as a temporary Post here.
Click Here: Best Friends Survey
Check it out and take the survey for Critters'.
Btw, I don't know the agenda of many of these places, and altho I can guess, I hope for the best. Most of them do good things from a good place. I'm sure they have their share of mistakes, but if they truly care about critters, that's what I pray for.
Now back to business... :-)

of 1928. A 23-year-old accountant who knew nothing about chemistry, Diemer created his invention in a tiny laboratory in Philadelphia. The only food coloring he had on hand was pink. "It was an accident," Mr. Diemer said in an interview with The Lancaster Intelligencer Journal in 1996. "I was doing something else and ended up with something with bubbles."
