Re: Pet Peeves?
I wish I hadn't....
With 3 kids in school, and a no cash, no credit card policy on a lot of things, I go through check books like crazy, especially around the beginning of the school year. Also, I leave checks for the lawn guy, pool guy, cleaner etc...I could pay cash, but at least with the check, you have proof you paid them!
I get through way more checks here than I ever did in the UK, although I have never used one at a supermarket checkout!
On the plus note, I do like the style of checks here, with the carbon copy below the check you tear out....I was always useless at moving my pen 3 inches to the left and filling out the stub...

Re: Pet Peeves?
I don't believe so. Wood pieces, or even fibres are fairly recognizable.
Ash is virtually impossible to identify, and could easily be confused with acidic or caustic, or otherwise noxious, substances. The concern is going to be the fact that it can't be readily determined that the powder is relatively benign, when it could be highly dangerous. In fact wood ash does contain caustic potassium hydroxide, useable for making soap by caustic hydrolysis of fats or oils.
I hate all junk mail.

Re: Pet Peeves?
Is "she" a he?
Does it really matter?
Actually, I find (at least for me).... it kind of does....seems to change the way we intuitively relate to each other - at least at the start - when we know nothing else about the person whose posts we read.
PS....okay....found your 1st post....now I know: Yorkieabroad, you're not "Yorkie, a broad" but "Yorkie abroad". But that's likely wrong as well.
