That's hilarious. Our dog can hear certain things from two rooms away so she'd probably do the same thing if we had another pet in the house. She used to get upset if we closed the living room curtains while she was in the room so we'd wait until she'd gone all the way to the end of the hall to...

That is really funny, ferretrick! It's like your male dog views the outside as his territory, and inside it's the female dog's territory. I'd love to know what goes on in the mind of a dog when it comes to things like that.

My big huge dog can be such a coward, but she sure talks a good argument. If she sees certain dogs in the neighborhood walk by on the sidewalk when she's tied out on our deck, she puts on her "big girl voice" and sounds all vicious but we know what a weenie she really is! She'd probably be one...

That would be my worry. Even the best-behaved pets sometimes have trouble sharing their territory.

Maybe that's what I need to get me motivated to clean out my closets. No, wait, I really don't want anybody to move in with us so I take that back. Sometimes our house feels too small for just the two of us and the dog.

Ooh, a hot & dusty attic...the perfect way to encourage them to finish up quickly! :)

That's always fun, isn't it?! In the 30+ years I've worked here, I've seen auditors stuck in some very interesting places because we just didn't have room for them. In this building, we can usually put them in one of several meeting rooms or even the boardroom in a pinch, but in our old...

Well, darn it, I wish I'd known....I took Friday off but had I known it was an actual occasion, I would have celebrated! Not sure how I'd celebrate World Penguin Day, we don't have a zoo here or anything where I could see a real one but maybe I could have watched penguin videos or something. (At...

That's pretty cute. We only had the two girls (6 and almost 9) hunting eggs and my DIL told them that there were 42 eggs so they each could get 21. So we had to stop and have an egg count from time to time. When the older kids were still participating in the egg hunts they'd hide some in...

I remember when it was called Secretary's Day (before people began to think that "secretary" was a demeaning title) and it was just one day. When it started I was the only secretary in one department and my boss got me flowers and the other 10 women in the department got all bent out of shape...

I spoke with a salesman in Cincinnati today who said they got three inches of snow yesterday. He mentioned it because he knew I was in Alaska, and he was surprised when I told him that it was over 50 degrees and fairly nice here today. My husband needs to get the snow tires taken off our...

Reminds me of the time recently when I told my two granddaughters that if they didn't stop acting up, they weren't going to get to come over for their overnight at my house that weekend. My daughter-in-law said "You do realize if you don't allow them to come over, you're punishing me more than...

I hear ya! Another thing I remember from when we got our first t.v. was that it was a rare treat if I got to stay up late enough to see them sign off for the night (remember when they actually did that?) They always played the national anthem. Back then, we got two t.v. channels, one American &...

We didn't even have a t.v. until I was 8 years old (the first big news events I remember seeing coverage of was when JFK was assassinated. Yikes, that makes me feel old!) At that time, there were only two channels available here but we still managed to find things to watch...I think at first we...

I agree. We have probably six different "kid" channels, and the only time we even turn one of them on is if one of the little granddaughters spends the night and wants to watch t.v. when they get up in the morning. And what with desktop & laptop computers, my iPad, my husband's tablet, our...

We pay $72/month for cable, including some premium movie channels, but it seems like there are really only four or five channels we watch with any regularity. The other evening we couldn't find anything to watch on any one of the 150 or so channels we pay for, so we ended up renting a movie on...

If you don't like zombie movies/t.v. shows you probably wouldn't like The Walking Dead. Actually, I take that back...I know somebody who used to be terrified of zombies and couldn't watch zombie movies because it creeped her out too much, and now she is just as addicted to it as I am! :)

Oh, yeah, it was!! I don't know what I'm going to do with my Sunday evenings for the next six months until Season 5 starts!

DH and I both took Friday off (it was our wedding anniversary) and had a wonderful 3-day weekend...went out for a great dinner Friday evening, went to the movies Saturday evening, took the dog for a walk on the beach yesterday morning. The weather was beautiful, he got a lot of work done on the...

I didn't really think about that part. That makes a lot of sense, especially in light of the fact that the guy has already made threats regarding whoever called the police, and the fact that the police have already said there's nothing they can do. I remember calling the cops on a neighbor of...
