The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft a-gley
This is to try to rectify a problem I caused with my post WELCOME. I was trying to help.
Previously I posted "For those who don't know, when a post comes that a new member has joined Neighbourly, if you click on 'LIKE' , your screen should show the word 'WELCOME', so then click on that.
By ticking LIKE THANKS and REPLY you participate more fully and help others on this website. There are noticable glitches such as the absence of 'reply' which can be very frustrating, but so is life. Cheers all."
. I deliberately used the word SHOULD.
Sandra politely posted that it didn't work for her. It doesn't always work for me or Sandra. I then thought the best way to rectify my posting was to remove my original post as it was misleading. Calamity, greater than throwing the baby out with the bathwater, I actually threw the bath out as well. So ALL the following relevant posts were also deleted (Neighbourly grh). l, likes, thanks and Sandra's posting. Sorry about that, so I post a request for NEIGHBOURLY to advise us what is the fail safe way to acknowledge and welcome new members. Ps I am not holding the air in the two receptables given to me at birth. Don't forget to smile, but cross your fingers when you try to help people. Cheers all
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
