Disgraceful thieving *bleep bleep bleep*
I am sitting here typing this while I am absolutely FUMING!!!!
I would like to know what gives anyone the right to steal from me or from my garden?
How dare you come around to take some free clippings I offered you and then while you were here (in my absence) you decided to steal somethings from my garden - HOW FRIGGEN DARE YOU!!!!
I know EXACTLY who you are and you name will be passed on to the appropriate people.
I have never in all the time that I have been giving free garden items, had anything stolen, everyone was so happy & so grateful. In most cases, they left with extra items.
If you desperately wanted something, all you had to do was ask. I would've given it to you.
I open my heart & my garden because so many people helped me and I want to share the love to everyone around here.
This had now made me even more weary of people and trust even less - AGAIN!
It is only because of that stupid clause called the privacy act, that I am not naming and shaming you here.
You will never ever get anything from me again - NEVER!!
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
