[QUOTE=gardentraveler] Because they eat geese? Scare off geese? Why? There are services that bring dogs in to scare geese away. There should be more of them - and fewer geese. Iā€™m grateful not to have to encounter geese all that often. Off to get ready for workā€¦ GT [/QUOTE] Dogs work, but then they crap on the golf courses too. Owls are cleaner and pretty winged creatures. ---

No! Make Death Chicken! (recipe available on request or after I get back from ortho). **Mika** --all ways of creepy there. Look out for him when you leave work today and in futureā€“not trying to freak you out, but just be safe. :eek: And I LOATHE waiting for people. Oh, 10 minutes at a restaurant Iā€™m fine with, because there is parking and traffic etc. But if we are both starting out from the same place/hotel room etc? Git yer ass in gear! :rolleyes: Car is back from shopā€“guy says he didnā€™t hear much of anything. Uh. With the sunroof open, I cannot hear my own radio when I brake. BUT he said that the brakes are safe, so I will wait until next pay period to have the rotors replaced. Brownies in the oven (Iā€™ve decided to eat chocolate thru my no kitchen time-this is really stressing me more than I bargained for. I am tired and somewhat cranky at the best of times now). ---

Oh how fun if Sean finds Bob his new home! Thatā€™s itā€“Iā€™m definitely getting alliums. Iā€™ll look for some bulbs in the fall! You all would hate my brother-in-law. If he has to be somewhere at 7 p.m., then at 7 p.m. he gets up and starts to think about getting ready to go. ---

Nothing makes for a great Welcome Home like cat puke on the dining room floor. :rolleyes: But thatā€™s right up there with ā€œEat a live toad first thing in the morning and nothing worse will happen all day.ā€ šŸ˜ƒ Actually, something good did happen, or will happen. **FCD** found out heā€™s been put in for a bonus. Bigger than the award I got last week! All of a sudden, I feel less guilty about all the money weā€™ve been spending on the studio. And Iā€™m thinking weā€™ll take some of his bonus and take a little vacation when my work project is done - early October, when the weather is still nice. That pretty much made up for the cat puke. This evening is drywall sanding, followed by remudding, if thereā€™s enough time. Once the second coat is sanded, I should be able to slap on some paint. Which means we could tile the floor this weekend, and move the washer and dryer. After putting in the plugs and lights, of course. So that project should be all done this weekend, and we can attack the studio part in earnest. I gotta find Baltimore Clayworks Supply soā€™s I can buy some glazes to play with. Could be the birth of a ceramics empire!! šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜ƒ šŸ˜ƒ ---

I love my cousin dearly, butā€¦ When sheā€™s on vacation, that is,when school is out, she has no concept of time. Itā€™s much better now that we have cell phones, butā€¦ We were in Quebec summer of '99. I hadnā€™t yet had my hips replaced, so I wore out quickly. it was about 10pm and I said Iā€™m going back to the hotel - She said ā€œIā€™m a half hour behind youā€ ā€œare you sureā€ ā€œyes - I just want to check out this one shop (open late for the tourists) and then Iā€™ll head backā€ 11:00pm came and went, so did midnight, 1:am, and 2:am. By now Iā€™m frantic. Weā€™re in a foreign city, neither of us speak much French, and we had been warned of unsavory types who like to prey on tourists - and my cousin is very trusting, too much so. Iā€™m hysterical when she saunters in at 2:30 - her: ā€œoh, I ran into (someone weā€™d met earliet in the week) and we were talking. Whatā€™s the big deal?ā€ me: ā€œWhy didnā€™t you call here and tell me, I was worriedā€ her: ā€œI donā€™t need another mother. I can handle myself, besides I didnā€™t want to wake youā€ (by now weā€™re boith yelling) me: ā€œFrom now on you have my permission, in this type of situation, to wake me. And donā€™t tell me not to worry about you. This isnā€™t (the conventions we go to a few times a year) where thereā€™s a hospitality suite and dozens of folks we both knowā€ her: ā€œI just didnā€™t think it was that big a dealā€ me (to myself): (damn straight you just didnā€™t think!) since then, sheā€™s gotten much better - but that incident still gets me worked up when I think about it ---

Iā€™m a perennially early person. If Iā€™m not at least 5 minutes early, I feel like Iā€™m late. We had friends in FL who were always late. We missed a wedding because of them - and they were bringing the video camera to tape it. The bride was not happy. They also missed the surprise part of a surprise party that I threw for my sweetie - came wandering in about 15 minutes after the fanfare, unused videocam in hand. Lucky for me, my husband is good about schedules. If I tell him I want to hit the road at 4, weā€™re generally pulling out of the garage at 3:30. We wait together a lot. ---
