Begging for Ban Thread #11

That sounds great Brandi, and delicious  I don't know what it is with toilet paper and tissues, but I know Zoe did her fair share of taking eyes and noses off of stuffed animals  Our Great Dane use to like to rip magazines, we came home once to them shredded on the floor, so we had to hide magazines from her, my dad use to call her a frustrated librarian.

Long time ago we lived by this guy that obsessed with his car, every two weeks the front seats came out so he could clean the car and seats, I use to watch him in amazement 

That's a bit over the top, IMO!   And every two weeks?  Dang! 

Need someone like that to take care of my car!  Heck, even once a year would be an improvement.   


I read somewhere that during job interviews, sometimes another employee is outside peeking into the prospective employees car, to get an idea of how organized etc that person is.  <gulp>

The man was crazy, he had his three boys every other weekend, and they would sit on chairs and watch their dad clean his car. He really needed to clean our car, we keep it clean, but detailing, not so much

Well I have to cut my hair, which should have been done last weekend, but I made and excuse, so I didn't wash my hair this morning, to make me go get it cut, and then to the store.  See you all later.

Hubby is outside getting cars perfectly cleared for driving now and getting a path to the street clear. There is one path plowed now down the middle of the street so people can drive out (we are on a hill) once they clear a path to the road. LOL

He has to go to work tomorrow. Looks like Interstates are pretty good from the cams I have been watching. I have a feeling we may venture out today for a short look-see. I have never driven our all-wheel drive Mountaineer in the snow yet! Have to give it a test drive He has worked very hard the last two days shoveling. Only one other person in our neighborhood has been able to get out so far.

We did not get the extra 12" they were calling for yesterday. Just a couple of inches more. I am going to take some pictures of our deck. It's incredible. The chairs are full and overflowing with snow. Hard to tell there is a chair underneath it all. LOL

See you later, no rose.

You have hair salons there open on Sundays?

Growing up, we had a black/tan female doxie we named Schnitzie and after her, we got a red long hair male for Christmas (this was back in the mid 60's) and he was named Rudy (for Rudolf). They were both great pets, but a bit high strung. The very best dogs I have ever personally owned have been mixed breeds. They have been the most even tempered. Even Brandi is a mix. Golden Retriever and something.

That's just been my experience.

Good morning everyone!

Hi Brandi!  Awwww cute name, Schnitzie!  It's true what you say, mixed breeds are often the most even tempered.  Golden retrievers are awesome, even mixed with anything!   

My fav video ..... ever ..... is this one:  <sorry haven't figured out yet how to imbed a video>

A golden and owner, dancing:

Schnitzie was short for Schnitzelfritz von *something* LOL She was my first family dog and I really loved her. She was bred and had two litters. I was quite young. She got lose and out to the road and run over the day before I came home from a two-week stint at Girl Scout camp! I had missed her a lot at camp too.

I posted our Golden mix, Brandi the other day. Will post again for you to see. She is as sweet and nice as she appears in the picture:

Sure am glad your son and his friend escaped with their lives and are okay  That's frightening.

Thanks Rosie!

Gonna get some stuff done around here and then venture out up to the main road in about 45 minutes.

Be back in a while.

You all have fun!

I'm so sorry about what happened to Schnitzie                           I decided to go to the hair cutting place where my husband and daughter goes, instead of the one I usually go to. I noticed they hadn't opened yet, and was playing around in my purse, when I heard a woman in a white car screaming into her cell phone. I got out of the car and heard her say, well I can't write here what I heard her say, and then she got out and was screaming about you already have spent 3 thousand dollars on gambling. I looked over to her, because I then thought she was talking to me. And wouldn't you know it, I walked up to the hair place, and the same woman opened the door to the place, much to my dismay. I thought, what do I do know,leave or walk into the Little Shop of Horrors with her  I went in. Nobody else came in, it was just her and me. I kept praying she wasn't going to go off, and I would leave with part of my ear missing or worse. After I left, I came home and rewashed my hair, and she actually did a good job  I'm afraid to even venture to the stores now.

Brittany Murphy died early this morning after she went into full cardiac arrest and could not be revived, multiple sources tell TMZ.

She was 32.

A 911 call was made at 8:00 AM from a home in Los Angeles that is listed as belonging to her husband, Simon Monjack, the Los Angeles City Fire Department tells TMZ.

We're told Murphy was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center where she was pronounced dead on arrival.

Murphy starred in such films as "Clueless," "8 Mile," and "Don't Say a Word."

About doggies that like to get into paper, stuffed pillows and such...

My brothers two pugs, Lilly and Daisy would get into things when he and his wife weren't home.  Lilly became sick, and so went a trip to the vet.  It's a good thing they got her in quickly.  Lilly had a blockage, and required emergency surgery.  The vet found the stuffings from pillows, lots of potpourri (SIL used to have in around in bowls), a push pin (!) and etc.  Now when my brother and SIL leave the house, they put the pugs in their kennel or put them in the kitchen with baby gate up and the kitchen has been pug proofed.  I think it was hard for my brother and SIL to put them up at first, because their pugs are their kids, but it was such a close call, they decided to do it.  The pugs have adapted.

Poor Lilly, my parents had to do that with both doxies when they weren't home, and when they took Heidi in the backyard they had to watch her every movement because she had pica and would eat bizarre things  Better to be safe then sorry. I spent quite a bit of money on an emergency trip to the vet when Zoe was a pup. I had been sewing and put the thread and needle on the dresser, when I came back the needle was gone. I searched all over the floor, and came to the conclusion that she must have somehow got the needle off the dresser. So we took her, they did xrays and there was no needle. After we got home I searched again all over the bedroom, and sure enough there it was on the carpet

  Hey Monkeys, hope your afternoon went well. I have a picture of the popcorn cake my Grandmother used to make at Christmas. My stepmom will email me the recipe tomorrow. All I have is the picture today.

  Sorry, I guess I should have previewed it before I posted that huge azz cake. Feel free for any mod to fix it. I took it with my cell phone and thought it would be teeny tiny, not gigantic.
