Letter "V" -- Friday's Weekend Roundup 11 and Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures

This Week's Prompts:  Starts with "V."  A Favorite. "V"oracious. Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures.
 _ _ _ _ 


Starts with "V":  Very is a very hard-working word, both an adjective and an adverb.  Perhaps overworked, I use it a lot. It even has another spelling, vary, which has a meaning of its own. 

I'll word it by saying that this lady is VERY "Stoogey"

"Dear Dr. Jim

My sister gave my kids really crappy Christmas presents this year. We all draw names and the minimum was $50; however, they gave him a $5 gift card to McDonald's.

How do I handle the response to this? We bought their child a Wii game that was well over $50 with tax. Please let me know your opinion. I have googled your blog and it seems like you give honest responses to people's questions.

Thank you for the response, in advance.

Warmest Regards,
Trying Not To Be a Scrooge!"

A Favorite:   A young Vagabond, I hope he didn't get far.   


Tom's choice, "Voracious":   I had to look that word up:  (perhaps you already knew) 
"Voracious Definition & Meaning - Merriam-Webster
Web:  "Voracious is an adjective that means having a huge appetite or being excessively eager. It comes from the Latin verb vorare, which means \"to eat greedily\" or \"to devour\"" 

If our Vagabond (young?) fellow has not gotten some food for his dog, it will become Voracious.

For James request, "Reflections and/or Street/Candid Captures: "Now to what is going on with the dog. It has turned its head, probably to rest. Possibly to avoid any interaction with me. 

What is nice, and so sweet, is that the dog had rested its head on a toy bear. A plush little Walmart type Teddy like Adi has and loves. (link) Click on the extra large button above to see this aspect.

Looking at that dog made me want to rescue it. In fact, if I could have, I would have rescued both the owner and the dog."
