I do wonder though, could it be because there's fear of being sued if the recipients of donated fruits fall sick or suffer food poisoning?sarawaklenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533394589253650735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-47495938385516260752011-12-05T14:15:42.647-08:002011-12-05T14:15:42.647-08:00We have the same feeling with this Ann.

I hope the owner will gather them all and feed it to the deer or dump in a pit for fertilizer or something. So much excess food so many people die of starvation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851630453932069251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-71626693946759377912011-12-03T13:31:16.468-08:002011-12-03T13:31:16.468-08:00Wonderful idea..in Ulu Limbang where my sister in ...Wonderful idea..in Ulu Limbang where my sister in law lives..over fruiting is a real problem. One year I remember she told me too late that her pumpkin harvest (more than 200 fruits) had to be left rotting because no one could help her deliver to the town..every one had a bumper crop of vegetables!! She sent 4 to me through a good guy who had to drive across two borders (Brunei/Sarawak) at Kuala Lurah and Sg. Tujuh just to reach my home...She could use the money badly!! But then as she said the transportation fees could not be covered by the sale of her bumper crop. Women can grow bumper crops but the petrol prices are destroying their enterprise. Same story for ulu folks in the Baram...To plant or not to plant?Ensuraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05201156760287157665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-70450633696060213842011-12-03T08:05:57.868-08:002011-12-03T08:05:57.868-08:00As far as I know people share their fruit here too...As far as I know people share their fruit here too. My mum did and my friends who have fruit trees in their gardens too.<br />You asked about the headstone of our grave. Well that was my choice. It's a Norwegian stone from a glacier. My husband and I loved Norway and went there almost every holiday. We learnt the language as well.On the churchyard there are all kind of headstones. I liked this one best.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6266742625763583152.post-68836812523893863722011-12-02T23:59:55.481-08:002011-12-02T23:59:55.481-08:00I'm glad that someone has found away to stop t...I'm glad that someone has found away to stop the waste.
