Hi, everybody! Jump in, the water's fine . . . What should we call this thread, here at our new digs?

I'm not sure the ND (Not Deceived) part carries over well . . . so many folks don't know the story & the guy who said the all of us at the original RR board were deceived hasn't been around in years. Chat Central was all I could think of, besides "Chat Stew" and I'm sure that phrase is copyrighted. :lol But, we can always get a mod to change the title for us, I'll bet! :nod

The hot dog thread got to me. :drama We had hot dogs for dinner. :lol
Well? How did you have them?
Nothing fancy. They were turkey franks. We boiled them, cut them up on our plates, and ate them with diced tomatoes, diced onions, a little pickle relish and a slice of bread as a "pusher." :lol

We had some barbecue potato chips too. And iced tea.

Quick & easy!

Barb, bills are what I was forgetting! Well I remembered, then I paid one then got up to do something and forgot about the other one :doh By the time I got back from Houston the one I was forgetting would of been over due.

Heather, years ago, withing months of each other, I got junk mail for insuring my car, my house, then one for my kids, but I don't have a car, own a house, or have any kids. I'm still wondering if maybe I sleep walk alot and somehow ended up buying a house and that's where my car and kids are....




Maybe there's "you" in an alternate universe! :freaked Good on you for remembering those bills! :thumb

I forgot our homeowner's association dues (I'll stay off my soapbox on the value of that hoa). But, I still have 30 days before they put a lien on my house so I'll get them paid. *rolls eyes* (they're only due twice a year, it's an odd amount, and the bill comes way in advance. I have to carry it around in my hand & pay it that very day or tape it to the refrigerator or I'll forget it. Not sure where I put the bill this time . . . )

I have a dead terror of important papers, so I make Ron take care of them. He has a file system, with braille labels and everything. :pound

We don't have anything huge due, until October, when it's flood insurance time.

Rainbo I'll be praying for your about your tests. Also prayed about your puppy.

Barb: I have a problem with a few bills like that. In fact that reminds me... I have the garbage bill and the life insurance bill. I know thereabouts how much they are but they vary. The life insurance is twice a year and the garbage bill is 4 times. I know I have them somewhere. If I can't find them I'll just toss a small overpayment to the life insurance people and I'll call the trash company.

Funny though... they came to my door yesterday. "Hi I'm from WM and have a couple of questions about your trash service." Me "no probl" her : " what company do you have" me: "you!"

Funny story I have to tell you.

remember I said my parents got a puppy? Well she apperently LOVES the dog door. The porch is her "dog house" (My parent's do not allow what will be large dogs in the house but they care very well for them- the proch is currently heated and ACed. when I was growing up they didn't have that but they would bring the dog in if it got too cold. Because of this I feel uncomfortable if I go to someone's house and they have a dog larger then a "small" dog such as a pom or poodle in the house. ) Anyway... she will NOT go outside through the door. They have a door that opens from the porch to the outside- the dog door is in that. When my mom opened the door, she refused to go through it. My mom had to close the door so she would use the dog door!

Anywho... On Saturday's my mom and I go to Church and then afterward join my father for dinner. (Mom and I go to a Catholic church - though I don't completely define myself as catholic anymore but that's another topic. and my dad is Lutheran.)

So after church we are walking to the car and mom tells me the thing about the pet door. when we get to dinner, dad tells us he was sitting in his chair and happened to look out the window and saw a broom go by. The puppy apperently was dragging it.... and trying to take her "prize" through the dog door! :lol

But what's even MORE funny is after I got home I called mom (she likes me to do this to know I got home safely) and mom told me that when they got home they found the broom IN the porch! SO Sammi (the dog) succeeded in figuring out how to get the broom in side. She was conked out on the step.

Oh did I mention she growls and barks at her toys?

Oh and I wondered about the post count as well. From what Hoot says it looks like there is no limit. Should we agree on a post limit? OR just change it with the seasons? (For example I'd hate to have a Christmas thread that stayed up until July...)

Wow. Someone posted a link (here) to a "not always right" site about experiences in reatal and I've been reading all the stories on here.

This story reminds me of me: http://notalwaysright.com/whos-got-the-power-now/933

I bought a "WIRELESS" secerity system thinking the same thing, that the cameras ran on batteries. How in the world can you hide a stupid camera if you have to plug it in? (I was trying to catch the moron who was dropping trow outside my condo and trying to get me to watch him)

Except I wasn't this mean - I got what they were saying right away. Still thought it was dumb to call something wireless if you had to plug it in but I wasn't a snot about it.

NOTE: there are cuss words on this site but they are bleeped out. The link I followed was the same way so I thought it was ok. If it's not ok let me know. I checked my history and the page no longer exists so it most likely was on the old board.

Dropping what outside your condo? I would actually leave the camera in an obvious place. "Hey, stupid, I'm watching you!"

We have a couple of "medium doggy doors". One goes from our kitchen to garage, and then one goes from the garage to outside, for the cat.

The handyman came out and measured the doors, measured the cat. :pound He went to the store, and called. "We're going to need a bigger door". He came home with the two, medium, doggy doors, which the cat loves. I only shut them when we had a loose dog in the area, and when we had a hurricane.

We find other cats, in the house, sometimes, too. They always run in terror when they see me.

Y'know, Heather, I've always wondered if other animals would come through a doggy door not in their territory. :lol

We have a doggy door in our bedroom door, one in the door between the family room & the florida room, and one between the florida room & the backyard. It's really let them be a much better behaved pack of dogs, having the freedom to run in and out. Ge', Houston, & Faith have played so hard all over the house this morning that they're sacked out for naps now. Fran played a little bit, but she's a quieter dog.

Faith, Houston, & Ge'dogg have played all over the living room, family room, hallways & office this morning. They've wrestled and played tug of war. I didn't realize that Faith was sort of "in her shell" when we got her. We've had her almost 3-1/2 months now and she's really warmed up just recently. She smiles a lot, and she's started sleeping on her back, which I read is a sign a dog is really comfortable with its surroundings (because they're most vulnerable when sleeping belly up).

edited to add: Today is little Ge'dogg's 3rd birthday! It's quite a miracle, when you consider he had such a fast-moving bone cancer spring a year ago that the vet had to take the entire bone out of his left hind leg (usually about 3" of bone is left, but the vet said he didn't dare risk it). Ge's done really well. :):

Fortunately, Barb, *as far as I know* we've only had cats.

I noticed a new cat in the neighborhood, a beautiful black and white. It's obviously someone's pet, I expect "he" may be coming in now and then for a snack and a sniff around.

The only big problem I had with the cat door: when our nasty neighbors (not the siding-wreckers) left so much trash in their yard they were attracting rats. Big, nasty, wood rats. *Most* of them were dead.

One was alive. I cornered it and tried to get it into a Homer Bucket from Home Depot. I had a lid. I'd get the rat in the bucket, close the lid, take it out, and release it. I've done it a few times. Something like a cracker, in the bucket, works great. Anyways, the rat was literally in a corner. He managed to get around the bucket and run partway up my arm.

I screamed so loud, I'm surprised the neighbors didn't call the police. It took me a couple days to find him again. I saw a tail on top of my cleaning supplies, in another 5 gallon bucket. I quickly put the lid on, took it out, and opened it with a rake. "Woody" ran off and I never saw him again.

Too much drama, in my life. From that point on, I started telling the cat, "If you're going to bring me a rat, make it dead first". :pound

Thank God that rat didn't bite you! :freaked The last cat we had liked to sneak field mice into the house. The poor mouse would usually be be a little woozy, maybe slightly injured. I'd usually figure it out when I saw her toss "something" up & catch it. :pound

Sitting at an open house this afternoon. Nice house - older home in a centrally located neighborhood. I'd love to write an offer for someone on it. Hope some buyers come by. :nod

Dropping "trow" = slang for pants around the ankles. I won't describe what he was doing.

Praying for you, Stacy! :hug . . . and for you too, Cathy! :hug

Not a single person came to the open house this afternoon. That was disappointing! Sweetie treated me to dinner afterwards. And then we took Ge'dogg for a ride across town and treated him to a dollar double cheeseburger from McD's. He was really tickled about that! :lol

:hot It's so steamy outside this morning, I felt like I was drinking the air instead of breathing it.

Washing mini-blinds and windows today. Have to go to the office from 1:30-6 for floor duty. Things are so slow, I can't see a reason to go hang around the office when I don't need to be there and I do need to work on my own house. We are all wondering if this is how the summer is going to go - ?
