    There's always room for another Thanksgiving thread!

    Happy Thanksgiving to all! My turkey is stuffed, seasoned, and in the oven. It's ridiculously unfair how a roasting turkey will smell heavenly hours before it's ready to eat. I'm about to start working on the green bean casserole and sweet potato casserole. Mmmm. I love Thanksgiving. It's...

    How sensitive are you to caffeine?

    I don't drink it very often. Not for any kind of health reason; I simply don't usually go for drinks that are caffeinated. I'm a high-energy morning person, so I rarely even drink coffee. But for that reason, caffeine hits me like a sledgehammer. I just finished a 12-oz mug of expresso...

    Texas seceding

    This is sad. I'm from Texas, and for the most part I'm quite happy to live here. But this whole secede business.....*sigh* :doh: An overwhelming majority of the people in Texas, even the ones who don't like Obama, are quite happy being American. And we're just as "WTF??" about the petition...

    Well, drat.

    I got stung by a bee for the first time yesterday, right in the crook of my elbow. My mother and sister are allergic to certain types of insect stings, so I went ahead and took benadryl right away. Guess what? It was a good thing I did. Turns out that I'm allergic to bee stings. *sigh* I...

    Is this even possible?

    I can't believe I'm even asking, but here goes: is it possible for a dog learn how to undo the snap on a lead and take it off his collar? Of course, Voodoo is the reason why I'm asking. Our backyard only has a 3-foot fence, so we use a tie-out as well. The tie-out gives them access to about...

    Hound people! Funny thing happened...

    I was in town. As I was driving down the main road, I could hear a siren of some kind coming up behind me. It was the oddest-sounding siren I ever heard. I kept looking all around me, trying to figure out what kind of emergency vehicle it was. I couldn't see an emergency vehicle anywhere. I...

    Military dog video?

    Can any of you help me find a video? The link to it was posted on Chaz awhile back. It was a training video of military or police dogs. It featured some mals that were doing some unbelievable things. I'm pretty sure I remember these mals actually getting a bite on person who was driving a...

    Super cleaning.

    Ever get into those modes where you suddenly decide that everything must be cleaned, and all dirt and germs in your house must die? DIE NOW. That would be me right now. Maybe it's because of the onset of cool weather, or because the 3-day weekend actually has me feeling super energized. I...

    Autumn day + weekend = COOKING!

    It's the first genuinely cool day of fall. It's about 45 degrees outside right now, and the high is supposed to be around 50. It's a thing of beauty. And me being me, I decided that the weather is perfectly conducive to cooking. :D Something about cool weather always triggers a cooking...

    Whatcha doing?

    Besides playing on Chaz, that is. Anything interesting? I've learned that someone as unused to caffeine as I am should not be drinking a 24 oz. expresso. I've decided that it's a wonderful idea to start doing some fall cleaning. Pardon me while I go run up the walls to dust the ceiling...

    How well does your dog tolerate bathing?

    Spinoff of PWCorgi's thread: How does your dog behave when being bathed? Does he/she behave well, or throw fits and temper tantrums? Zeus and Voodoo are wonderful about baths. Neither of them like it much, but they don't fight it. I don't have to restrain them in any way. I don't even put...

    It finally happened..I dreamed of a Chaz dog.

    Yes. I've joined the club. I had a dream that prominently featured a Chaz dog. Oh, the shame. It was simultaneously weird and frightening. And it was Mia. :o I dreamed that Mia randomly decided to visit my house. I opened my back door, and there was her fabulous papillon self, sitting...

    The windows are open.

    I mean it. All the windows in the house are open! :banana: That is a momentous occasion in Texas! It's actually not a$$-sizzling hot outside! I don't think we've been able to open the windows like this since early March. There's a beautiful breeze blowing, and the temps are in the 70s...

    Labor Day barbecue!

    I took a vacation day at work, so my Labor Day weekend starts today! *happy dance* We decided last night to have a barbecue on Sunday. Fine and dandy. It won't be quite as large as our epic Labor Day barbecues in the past since it's kinda spur-of-the-moment, but that's fine by me. I can't...

    Please not....BUGS!!

    Some kind of biting insect has decided it finds our bedroom to be quite a lovely place to live. I'm guessing because the bedroom is the only room in the house with carpeting. I was cuddled up in bed with my husband, watching TV together, and something was biting me like crazy. In the hour or...

    Procrastination

    A fitting contrast to the time management thread, no? :rofl1: I had grand plans to clean my house, the truck, and the car. But it's 10:36 a.m., and I'm sitting here in my snuggly robe, sipping a glass of cherry limeade and playing on Chaz. Ah, the best-laid plans, LOL. Anybody else...

    Good morning, Chaz!

    It's a beeeeaaauuuutiful day! Yes, the morning person strikes again. :lol-sign: I'm off work today, so I've decided to spend the day cleaning my house top to bottom. It needs a good clean after the havoc our kitchen remodel wreaked on our house. We've been so busy that we haven't had a...

    What I heard about pit bulls.

    I was outside. There were two teenage girls walking down the street. Approaching from the opposite direction, same side of the street, was a woman walking a pit bull. Girl #1: (nudging friend) "Let's cross to the other side. That's a pit bull." Girl #2: "Are you actually freaked out...

    Help! Opinions on a dress!

    All right, clothes people! I need help. Admittedly, I am completely clueless when it comes to the womanly arts of fashion and makeup. :o And don't get me started about shoes, LOL. Here's the deal. Brian and I are planning a mini-vacation next month. We've decided to spend a night or two...

    Do you buy clothes online?

    Have you ever purchased clothes online? Was it a good or bad experience? I'm debating about trying it. I'm looking for a dress, and they have some gorgeous ones online. I have no problems with purchasing most things online, but I'm leery about buying clothes. I feel weird spending money on...
