Do it for the children.
"...ladies have been banned from baking triangular flapjacks after a school branded them DANGEROUS."

Oren,
I always wear eye protection at the breakfast table. I looked at the pictures and read the article. Can't figure out what these "flapjacks" are made of. Oats? They certainly don't look like pancakes. Dave M. |

I think the real problem is that the school headmistress is missing the point entirely.
She needs to understand that food shouldn't be thrown in the school cafeteria; not that the food served in the school cafeteria should be made in such a way as to be safer WHEN thrown. She's treating the symptom and not the disease. It wouldn't be necessary to ban triangular flapjacks if you ban kids from throwing food in the school cafeteria.

Oh yea, at full gallop they leap in at egde and do a belly flop. Repeat...shoo cat and go get rabbit. This time I take rabbit part way in woods and wish him luck. Put cat in house for a half hour. |

I fed a hide to one (prison parolee cat), I shot in the garden with a pellet rifle. Jessie trained another kitty, Keri (Key-Rye) to find them. I know it worked, because I kept finding rabbit kidneys on the porch door stoop. I really miss Jessie and Keri. They lived a long life ~ 20 years each. Darby is about 20 (?)...another prison parolee cat. |
