Bet you're glad you got that off your chest wild edges 😉. I have had dogs since I was a kid, hubby had his first when I met him, she lived to 18, but I loathe dog **** . Disgusting lazy owners,we have to have our front gardens open plan,we have an area of shingle that gets used,BUT a few months back the offending article was on the drive, right in front of the lounge window, hubby brought the bin in, couldn't see in front of it, he'd seen the postie nip through a little while earlier, from next door. There was several piles on the bed which he's now filled with shingle(neighbours border),it had been there for weeks, right by his car. He neither weeds or clears, interestingly,he has a dog who is not allowed to toilet in the garden You would be staggered at the length of time the dog gets walked. Hubby when working, didn't believe me,has now seen for himself, sometimes 4 minutes,but I have seen less! Our 2 rarely perform on a walk,so my first job of the day,is "garden pickup" and ONLY in garden clogs! They are sneaky,and my little one shuffles leaves over the top.
You are absolutely entitled to your view ... but the fact that a lot of other people have very different feelings doesn't make them wrong ... just different.
My own feelings are somewhat in the middle ... I'm interested but not emotional about it ... but I don't dismiss the validity and importance of other views.

No sensible person these days takes any media source ( in whatever country ) without a pinch ( or two ) of salt. Twitters/Tweets, if you actually follow them, would be advisable with a bucket of the stuff to hand
I'm starting to question my view of the world after spending time answering kids' questions. I mean, I don't know why we say 'twelve' and not 'two teen' I don't know why some colours get names like 'pink' when they could just be called 'light red'. Light blue and light green are acceptable but if you say light red people think you're a bit odd. How do you explain to a kid that firemen don't 'wash' the fire off burning stuff? You wash mud off things, so why not fire?
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I have found the past few days extremely upsetting. That's not based on the death of the Queen, sad as that is, but on the fact that it has brought the sudden death of two of my close family members, and the visual images, flooding back. The fact that they were the last two members of the family with whom I had any close connection makes it worse.
What I find 'vomit inducing' is that anybody should make such a comment about grief.
I'm sorry for your loss @KT53, as you say, the visual reminders of the loss of family members are very sad. I keep remembering my mother's death and that was over 14 years ago.

The frilly edges of the plant’s petals looked as if they had been pinked by shears. Thus the plant was called a pink and, most unusually, the plant gave its name to the colour. In most other European languages the word for pink is based on rose.
Thank goodness that the majority of Scots aren't as rude and have better manners than those people. It's a reason that Scotland is a good place to live.
