Much younger than me but adults have these cute little pocket sized Pups (rat sized Pups) that they walk by carrying them around. Their humans do the walking for them. What the heck is that about?

You mean like Paris Hilton style?!!

 

[MinnieM123]

I want another Pup. And I want a Puppy. I want a Pup that I can have from 6 to about 8 weeks old that I can train like I trained Walt. I want a Pup that is sturdy enough to go for long walks and also be able to run while I ride my bike.

I hope you get a puppy.

So do you remember Ford chewing gum?

or remember Disney's Pluto the Collapsing Dog?

Or the day you could mail a letter or make a phone call on most major corners?

Or the day you could purchase cigarettes as easily as a bottle of water?

Did you play KerPlunk? (I still have mine)

Do you remember the creepity Mr. Clock from Capt. Kangaroo?

Do you remember making hard plastic labels?

Did your home have this doll house during your childhood?
My Sis did. (Me I liked guns, GI Joe and baseball more)

There was a cigarette machine in an Italian restaurant we used to go to when I was a kid. Before I realized what it was I thought it was a old type of game. (That was when I was really little though.)

I hope you get a puppy.

I did it I took one of those nap things I kept hearing about, best 30 minutes of my life. Long story short I had to be up late last night and up even earlier than normal this morning.

Naps = wonderfulness

I will straighten up the room so housekeeping doesn't walk into a mess, but I don't make the bed. Once mousekeeping thanked me for keeping the room clean. She said I wouldn't believe how some leave the rooms. That just makes me want to straighten up more.

I like to keep my hotel room tidy and organized. Hubby isn't too bad but his stuff tends to get more spread out around the room. But I had a friend once that shared a hotel room with me for a couple night (girls trip) and she was a complete slob, it was a little embarrassing.

In something completely random.. this morning had yet another horrible nightmare featuring a quake.
I still have no idea why always have the nightmare in the apartment building we used to live almost 10 years ago. I was never there when the biggest quake hit my town. I was at school. Yet I always see the apartment building and all surrounding buildings collapsing in a monstrous quake.

That sounds like a pretty crazy dream. Hopefully there are no quakes in your future.

Funny thing I'm noting in Hamlet. The people in my age demographic mostly have larger dogs that do not need a great deal of care.

So there's a new pup in your future?! That will be wonderful for you! And we will expect lots of pictures.

My grandfather on my moms side had 3 Ford tractors, but, my pops pop had a Farmall tractor that looked like this one...

Well, actually, it "looked" more like this one...!!!

My grandfather had an early 50s Ford. I remember all the times he drove it with the hay baler while we followed behind putting the bales on the wagon for the barn. That tractor was a workhorse.

Do you eat a lot of spicy Mexican food? I think your nightmares might be a result of not sleeping well, due to undigested food from dinner!

I think in Mexico they just call it food (comida)..... (Sorry I'm a little punchy tonight.)

 

[MySmallWorldof4]

Fixed it for you.

 

[ajrwdwgirl]

Fixed it for you.

Thanks! I did mean no quakes.

Meanwhile Jack stories please

He's taken a liking to political discussions. Every night, hubs and I have these in-depth political and world events discussions, and Jack will bolt into the kitchen, sit on the floor and take it all in. You should see his dog face--he intently listens, but sometimes he sorta tilts his head, like he completely disagrees with our viewpoints. (And yet, he adds nothing to the discussion . . . )

Support for the local farmers

And when the local farmers are supported, that also brings money into the community as well.

My arm is a little sore from my shingles vaccination. There is a little pink patchy area around the injection sight, and a few pimply spots. Nothing too serious, I believe. I read that about 1 out of 3 people get this sort of reaction after the shot.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Pretty shot!

We have cattle here, too...!

Longhorns We raised shorthorns.

I use a 50/50 mix and it does seem to help, because one year I got invaded, washed everything down and they didn't come back in. Now I wash everything down and put out ant traps ahead of time to prevent them from getting any ideas

Me too! A couple years in a row, the backside of my house.
Now I Spray by the end of March the entire foundation before the ant awakening. I also re-spray in early October before any frosts. This seems to cut down on the fall Spider invasion.

I agree @MySmallWorldof4 . DL has very limited TS options, but quick service wins, if for no other reason than that they give you real plates and silverware. Not paper and plastic like at WDW.

I go back and forth on real tableware in quick fast services restaurants. BOG, where they bus the tables woot. Nice.

Places like Panera and there are many others that have you awkwardly scraping your plates dividing up your silverware, glassware plates and bowls while looking at others scraped up food. Not a fan of all that. I'd rather have paper in those type of venues. IKEA at least allows you to place your entire tray in a rack and walk away.

 

[MOXOMUMD]

Yep, that's one of the reasons I've always heard, too. Plus, most cars these days have excellent heat/AC (climate control) so most folks don't even roll their windows down anymore, like back in the day.
Unless, of course, you have something like this ...!

I always have the windows down when I can.
