we make up for it by grabbing them with our toes and flipping them up in the air and then catching them... ok, it's a fantasy, just go with it...

tomato chunks from the jars we put up last fall. spaghetti sauce. mmMM...

not many are unless they are specificly made for exposure to the elements. after many years of picking up pieces of this and that plastics outside i no longer want them in any gardens at all.

sadly, there are some animals that are not compatible with humans and even if their breeding means they are mostly ok, that still doesn't mean that each and every one is ok. at times, like with people, you just get a bad one and you need to be responsible and put it down as humanely as...
