However, Snopes.com declares that is completely false. The instances that Snopes refers to are all U.S. examples though. The rumor still goes on. Or, he could have said it tongue-in-cheek....

Japanese beetles are a gardener's bane around here too.

BurgGurl Forum Champion Registered: Wed Dec 03 2003 Posts: 9455 Loc: Virginia USA	I've dealt with those beetles too this season, they've all but destroyed my small maple bush out front. Next year I will be ready for them. Last week I was in Corolla, NC in the Outer Banks and we went into Currituck Lighthouse. Here is a view of the down-shot from where I stopped climbing. There are 219 steps in all but after realizing the stairs were open-backed and see-through underfoot I stopped climbing after about 55. I have such a terrible fear of heights! My son on the other hand went all the way to the top and stepped outside!

BurgGurl, Just looking at that picture had my heart pounding and my palms sweating - I have a horrid fear of heights in open spaces. Then I read what you wrote ie open-backed and that was it for me! I commend you for getting up 55 of them. What a neat thought, ren. _________________________ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

They visit Ronald McDonald houses, senior homes, and stay at homes. They are quite remarkable. They all came to her home as rescue dogs.

BurgGurl Forum Champion Registered: Wed Dec 03 2003 Posts: 9455 Loc: Virginia USA	What gorgeous dogs - just looking at them makes me smile! Therapy dogs are wonderful animals. My father's family has one - Seamus - and in his eight years he has visited numerous hospitals, nursing homes and schools; he is a big hit with everyone everywhere he goes. My father was his handler and when he died a few years ago that ended Seamus' therapy days. Sad thing is now poor Seamus has gone blind and save for rides in the car, he spends most of his time at home where he knows the layout of the house and feels safer.

jordandog Forum Champion Registered: Tue Apr 17 2007 Posts: 5097 Loc: Ohio USA	bhs, How sweet do they all look? BurgGurl, I'm so sorry to hear that about Seamus, but at least he helped hundreds, probably many more, people feel better by 'sharing himself' with them via your father. _________________________ The bond that links your true family is not one of blood, but of respect and joy in each other's life.

This is one of the many miles of tracks in our local woods, with conifers on one side of the track and deciduous on the other.

Anywhere in the temperate zones has the same sorts of trees, at least from a distance. Here's another cottage in Hampstead Garden Suburb, quite unlike any others I've seen. _________________________ Does the brain create or receive consciousness?

Those dogs are all adorable. satguru could've put the cottage with the lovely red door in the weekly pix thread. I can further the walk into the woods.
