Where in the World is Bob Saget?

Walter is the most Unique dog I've ever had. He behaves as if every human on earth is meant for him. There have been a handful of men, some with dogs other not that I've passed on the Riverwalk that I have to hold on tight because he goes guard dog ballistic. It is odd 'cause he favors men so I trust his judgement.

Walt is known in our town by just about everyone, many come out of their homes as we go on our twice a day 2.5 mile walks. We had many people give him Halloween trick or treats. Happy Pup. But still he is a guys guy mostly. Happiest with my DS and the man across the road that has treats for him, lets him out, walks him when we are gone, takes him home with him too. He snuggles with my DD but I am his Alpha. I trained him, fed him, bathe him. When he is a mule he ignores everyone elses instructions or commands. But if I just say, come here, he does so. Drives my DH nuts. But he picked my DS as his people, strange because for the most part DS didn't live here most of the time we have had him.

Ha ha . . . Walter is a local celebrity! Dogs can be people magnets; it's funny when we're out walking, and people know my dog's name, but haven't a clue what mine is. The interesting thing about dogs is that they bond with whomever they trust, and immediately let you know people they don't like.

Sometimes, I think they're cuing off some sort of vibe that we, ourselves, send out. In other words, I wonder if, at times, he's reacting to my gut impression about a stranger in our midst, that I might feel uncomfortable around. (He's not shy about growling at certain strangers when he feels like it.) Dogs can be very perceptive and "read" their owners, better than we can, ourselves.

Don't forget to bring a coupon, 20% off.

I get those coupons in the mail. They've been sending them out consistently now for about the past 7-8 months, for in-store use. They finally figured out that if they offer a coupon, they'll get more foot traffic through the doors. Heck, I could have told them that a long time ago!

P.S. - We do a lot of post 10:00 p.m. shopping. There are less crowds and queue line-ups.
Same reason we do Disney in October or November.

Shopping after 10:00 PM is an interesting phenomenon to me. I'm always asleep well before that. At the opposite end of this shopping spectrum, I wouldn't mind getting groceries around 5 AM, because there wouldn't be much of a queue. However, stores in my area don't open until 7 AM. It's frustrating.

If you're going to be standing naked on a Canadian basement concrete floor in January, one can only assume dancing will not be a choice, but a necessity for keeping warm!!

Hopefully at least slippers will be worn. Gotta keep the toes warm, right?

We have furnaces.
Of course, the men in the house keep turning it down to 66 , hence the heated mattress pad!

Our heat is always 66 but we usually have a log burning the fireplace when someone is home.

So irksome having to go to the grocery store @ 11:00 p.m. because there's not a drop of milk in the house.

On the plus side, I picked up some lovely pork chops for dinner tomorrow. Going to Shake 'n Bake them for a change.

I can't speak to what is not regulated for this country, it could be different pay structures and labor laws in your country.

They start on call, sometimes they work little and other times they work a great deal but there is a minimum salary. Then comes regular runs, hours. No, they don't just paid while moving, they are union positions and labor laws here do require you get paid while you are required to work. Their air hours start when they go on duty at the airport. If a plane is delayed they are paid. Like truck drivers they can only be on duty so many hours, just like pilots before their time expires. That is why sometimes crews expire awaiting their aircraft to arrive or waiting for weather to clear, then flights get delayed yet again because they scramble to bring in a different crew frequently the new on call folk. When I was young that was more difficult cause you were more tied to your home phone. Now a days with cell phones you have more freedom.

It isn't a bad way for younger people to explore the world. You can also transfer to other areas with seniority or to different on ground positions eventually.

I once had a flight leave 45 minutes early because the crew would have timed out during the flight if they left any later. I was not a happy camper. It delayed my arrival home by 3 hours. And I was on time, even early, for my flight. Somebody wasn't thinking about customer service in this case. I was in public busing at the time and one of the cardinal sins was to leave before departure time. It could get you fired.

I have divided the next two and a half months into manageable chunks:

- The next two weeks, I will be psyching, prepping, and packing for Disney.
- The following two weeks will be spent vacationing, unpacking and doing laundry.
- The following two weeks are kind of in limbo, until we get until the end of November.
- The following four weeks are holiday time. Stringing lights, putting up the tree, decorating, wrapping gifts, baking .... I love everything about Christmas.
- The following week is decompression time; doing final preparations for Son #2's departure.

And then ... they're gone! Please join me in a chorus of Hallelujah!

And then, I will be down in that basement, ripping up all that stained and bong-water soaked carpet, hauling it to the curb, and dancing naked on that bare concrete floor.

Okay, not dancing - 'cause y'all know I can't dance.

I've had a really crappy couple of days. Can ya tell?

But you will still be naked, right?

I dont know why I imagine you dancing on the bed of your sons when they finally leave.
