One more...close your chimney flue.

"So, yeah, I think I am rude in some regards because I fall victim to the notion that when I'm in a hurry I can dispense with civility."

It truly drives me up the wall when employees of the store I'm shopping at will do this. I remember that they used to go out of their way for customers and now if they are in a hurry they will literally plow you down.

I completely agree. I was so surprised when I was looking at identical cover letters for candidates. Clearly they had used the Word template.

Last year my husband and I tallied up what we had spent for Christmas and could not believe the total! So this summer I canned jams and syrups to give as Christmas gifts. I really enjoy my time in the kitchen and giving gifts. This covers both nicely.

Also if you collect seeds from your flowers you can use them for planting next year.

I wish you could pick and choose your channels with cable and they would charge accordingly. Due to sports watching we have 200 channel but only a handful of them that we watch regularly.

Our dog bit my husband this year. Basically he doesn't like people in his space. We've learned to deal with it in different ways but it scares me when he's around people he does not know. So, when I had a party I asked my vet to give me a sedative for him to take the edge off. All it seemed to do for him was make it difficult for him to walk for a day or so. I'll never ask my vet for those pills again. Now when company comes over I get him a big ol bone and keep him in his crate.
