I just saw a K Mart commercial for Christmas lay away
Throwing your money away. This is what KMart will look like when you go pick up your lay-away:

I'm a very rare person that never had a dog growing up, and nearly none of my relatives had dogs that were indoor dogs. My one grandmother had a poodle when I was reaaaalllly young, but once that dog was gone, she never got another one.

My mom's reasoning about "no dog" was that 1)It would not be an indoor dog, and 2)she wouldn't fence in our fairly large yard...too expensive. She grew up on a farm, and all the dogs were outdoor dogs.

Now, my in-laws have had dogs. When we were first married, they had a sheltie, and I was sad when she passed away. They now have a shih tzu, who's not a yapper, and I like him, too. I think he's 9 now, and I'll be sad when he passes away, too. I guess I semi-adopted those two dogs as "my" dogs.

I've also never had a dog. I've had a pig (ate it), some chicken (ate them), and 1 parrot and 3 parakeets (did not eat them).

I was ready to banish you from my 'people that I like" list onnat first sentence, but you recovered quickly there.

The man-made island that connects bridge and tunnel for Denmark and Sweden is called Peberholm, and it’s had an unexpectedly positive impact for the local flora and fauna. Species have been allowed to freely develop, and it’s since become a haven for biologists as a popular breeding ground for birds as well as being a habitat for the rare green toad.
The bridge, which is jointly operated by both countries, allows the region of some 3.7 million people to live in one country and work in another, though it’s not cheap. A ten-trip card runs 354 euro, or about 400 USD.

Mrs. GTO had to work today, so I spent all day with the baby. Working tomorrow as well, so I have both kids all to myself most of the day.
