BOUQUETS to a lady and two gentlemen who came to my aid when I fell in Regent St, Belmont, in early May, especially the man who stayed with my until my family arrived to take me to hospital. I am just now home and everything is okay.
Grateful Glad, Belmont
BUCKETS to Get Real (Buckets & Bouquets, 12 June) for believing that dog poo on nature strips will go away if ignored. Flies breed in it, kids play among it and people like me have to clean it up so people like Get Real can live in a health environment.
I Am Real, Newcomb
BOUQUETS to Bunnings Waurn Ponds’ Meredith for exceptional customer service. Thanks for educating us about apple trees, even phoning me to follow up with more help. I hope your employer realises you are a valuable asset.
Granny Smith Gala, Herne Hill
BOUQUETS to Barwon Elder Abuse network and everyone else who helped treat seniors to a wonderfully entertaining film and delicious afternoon tea at Geelong West Town Hall on Monday. We thoroughly enjoyed the afternoon.
Senior, Geelong West
BOUQUETS to Smart Cars on Maxell. Anyone looking for a good car and excellent service should visit this dealer. I was delighted with my car.

BUCKETS to Family Friendly (Buckets & Bouquets, 12 June) for being a bigot. Same-sex marriage doesn’t affect “traditional” marriage at all. Raising children in a secure family unit has nothing to do with marriage between a man and a woman. Do your research before selfishly alienating others.
Over It, Belmont
BUCKETS to Family Friendly for implying marriage is only about raising children. I’ve been married for 23 years without children because my husband and I don’t want any. Shame on you for generalising and alienating others.
Married Without Children, Belmont
BUCKETS to Family Friendly. I found your comments offensive and ignorant of all the loving homosexual couples capable of raising children in a “secure family unit”. The point is to redefine marriage to achieve equality for homosexual couples, which is about time and absolutely deserved.
Gay Marriage Supporter, Lovely Banks
BUCKETS to Family Friendly. A “secure family unit”. Hmmm. Divorce, drugs, gambling, alcohol, violence, cheating websites and fathers taking off interstate to start their lives over. Children left broken, shattered and sometimes beyond repair. If same-sex marriage can get it right, bring it on.
Love Is Inclusive, Ocean Grove
BUCKETS to Family Friendly. Try practicing religious tolerance, you bigot. Your backdated views better suit the 18th or 19th centuries or the bible heartlands of America. Consider moving there if you are so offended by the happiness of others.
Not A Bigot, Grovedale
BUCKETS to Family Friendly. A happy, secure family can be established in a same-sex marriage. Where is it written that marriage is only between a man and a woman? Please don’t tell me it’s in the bible, which was rewritten many times. It’s time to think outside your square.
Woman Married To A Man, Highton
BOUQUETS to Family Friendly. I agree that marriage is between a man and a woman.
