Excellent

Hey Craig, I guess I am as bad as she is because I do not get it. Wish you had snapped a pic of the contraption and let us see it too. Your word description implies it cannot be accessed by small animals, only large ones. I do get that it being circular, it can be approached from all sides... just call me dumb. Haha..

Why would they need to be able to reach the middle? It's water! What happens as they drink it? LOL

Thanks for the fun review Melissa :) Cheers, Craig

A very well-written true story flash. We all have our blonde moments, I hope your dear wife is not a blonde, where we say the craziest things before we have a clue what we are saying. Lol.

She's only a blonde occasionally. The colour is up to the hairdresser's whim, mostly! Thanks, Sandra :)

Um. Why would they need to get to the middle? Are they tiny ducks that will be swimming in the trough? It's circular and all the animals will be drinking, right? I would think the depth would be the issue if the water level was too low. Did I miss something?

No, all you missed was a temporary brain failure on the part of my (really) quite clever other half. Perhaps she thought a water trough would behave like a feed trough, which definitely would be a problem if they couldn't reach the middle (although depending on what was being fed, even that might flow out to the edges).

Haha. Clever. So could the animals reach the middle? Definitely, a good observation. ....But what do I know? Maybe you own a zoo of large animals....

Large and small, but they can't reach the middle. Thanks for reviewing :) Cheers, Craig

Exceptional

Well, tell me. How will they reach the middle?

It's the first paragraph that I enjoyed with this one. You had to compliment your wife before you insulted her. At least you didn't imply that she
is a mafia hit woman.

This post reminded me of the slice of life paragraphs that I used to read in Reader's Digest magazines. It made me smile.

Imply? Obviously I didn't make my point strongly enough! hahaha

Ah yes, "Life's like that", "Laughter: the best medicine", "Humour in uniform", "Mere male"... those were the good old days.

Thanks, Debbie :)

So you read those things, too? I'm impressed. Except for people older than myself, I've never met anyone else who read Reader's Digest. And you even remember the right names for the columns. I used to look forward to those columns. I think that I even sent in an entry once. It didn't get published.
And yes. You made your point about my hitman husband.

Sadly, I spent a lot of time sitting in the dentist's surgery as a child. Although, I do remember taking out a subscription as an adult as well.
