I've admitted to walking across a dark parking lot before, too. That is "risky behavior". I've admitted to walking around with too much cash on me before, too. That is "risky behavior".

In this situation, I didn't know how risky it was. If someone else learns from me, then that is a positive result from a bad situation.

At this point, making fun of a person that did something they weren't aware was risky way after the fact really shows your character. Reveling in someone else's suffering? I guess that's even better for you. I don't think I need to send good vibes to the folks you harass - I think you need some good vibes sent *your* way, because being part of a community just to dog and down other people isn't healthy.

I've never seen a liquid coyote. Just the solid kind. FSogol Feb 2014 #24

It's the pee that's liquid--much more effective than the granulated stuff. MADem Feb 2014 #26

Please tell me granulated coyote pee comes in plastic containers w/ measuring cup lids like pink FSogol Feb 2014 #27

It comes in plastic containers with large holes in the top, so you can shake it out MADem Feb 2014 #29
