I always love to get your comments. Thank ...Hi Erik<br />I always love to get your comments. Thank you.<br /><br />Yes, Koalas sleep and pee a lot. They sleep so much because it takes their bodies a lot of work to digest and process the gum leaves that they eat. As cute and cuddly as they appear they can also be quite vicious. Their claws are very sharp!<br /><br />We love Kangaroos and Wallabies and see them in the wild often. It saddens me to see them dead on the roads though. They become confused by car headlights and often jump straight into the path of cars and trucks. When my children were little, they would get very upset and want to help the poor creatures. I coped with it by telling the kids that the Kangaroos were sleeping on the warm roads and that when the kids grow up and can drive they must be very careful so that they don't hit a kangaroo.<br /><br />I so want no child abuse too. Thank you for your ongoing concern and commitment to the cause.<br /><br />And as for me being a great woman - I wish! I just do what I can. After almost 16 years working with sexual assault I am eager to ensure that as many people as possible can each do their own little bit to raise awareness and prevent child abuse. Your comments do this Erik. The more people that stand up and say NO MORE CHILD ABUSE, the quicker our children will also find a voice and know that there are many people in the world that want to help and protect them. <br /><br />It is hard for a child to speak up when someone is abusing them but if they know that the adult is doing the wrong thing, that not all adults do that, then we may have more chance of intervening before the abuse has a chance to escalate.<br /><br />Keep up your good work Erik - perhaps you can make a career out of it.Megan Baylisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549696888232735259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5310469305810613191.post-40044584426769413112007-01-25T17:19:00.000+10:002007-01-25T17:19:00.000+10:00You are welcome Rodney.
