In the second place, Ferrets are civilized members of the household. Unlike dogs, Ferrets do not bark or make other loud noises. They are generally content to lead a quiet existence. Ferrets also don't often have accidents. Even stray Ferrets generally understand the concept when shown the box and will use it regularly. Ferrets do have claws, and owners must make provision for this. A tall scratching post in a favorite Ferret area of the house will usually keep the Ferret content to leave the furniture alone.

Halloween

put out the fires in their homes so they would appear to be cold and
undesirable. The townspeople would dress up in costumes and noisily parade
around the neighborhood, being as destructive as possible in an attempt to
scare the spirits away.
Trick-or-Treat was said to come from people leaving food for the
spirits on their doorsteps to ensure a good year. Another myth about how
Trick-or-Treating got started is by the Celebration honoring Muck Olla
where a parade of people begged for food and the leader wore a mask, which

The Arts Should Be A Part Of The School Curriculum
... how to accept
music and I have realized that it can help me too.
The arts can be looked at as another language. It can be another
way of dealing with problems other than words. The arts can relate very
closely to everyday language. I believe that any spoken language helps to
convey one's thoughts, but everyone thinks in a different way. For example,

communicate a concept of the arts with someone who is not educated in the
arts. Another example would be ...
