How many horror stories do we hear every year about
a space heater that wasn't properly equipped tipped
over and started a fire that burned down homes?
Especially during the holidays.

The kind of space heater I mean is attached to a wall or to the
floor.

Anything that shocks an animal is not pet friendly.

It's a lot friendlier than letting them wander in traffic.

You can train a cat to stay inside without that.

But I don't *want* seven cats inside at all times.

Maybe you've never felt the shock of an electrified fence. It
isn't painful, just unpleasant - enough that you wouldn't want
to touch
it again unless a monetary reward was involved.

My uncle (gosh, he must be 90 by now) invented the "invisible
fence" with the dog collar thing. That's how he made his first
million. (Later in the
1960's he got into the computer business before computers were
meant to be
in peoples' homes and made another couple of million. Too bad I
haven't seen the man since 1969, but then again, he has 6 kids to
leave his millions
to.)

I never said you're ugly; but I don't want to see my neighbors
walking around gardening in the nude. Okay, so you'll have a
fence. I don't want to *know* my neighbors are walking around
naked.

I can think of a few people you might make an exception for....

Only ONE, and even then when he and I sit around playing cards or
backgammon
we wear jammies

This exchange, I couldn't help chuckling. Pat, I live probably
about
as isolated as you. While I never would go outside stark naked, I
did go
out in my underwear to get my capri pants/blouse off the
clothesline once. I ran smack into an entire seismograph crew who
was working
just over the fence.

Darn near anyone can get caught. DH is fairly modest. But he did
manage to lock himself out of the house while putting clothes in
the washing machine out in the garage while the girls and I were
out of town. Wearing only a towel wrapped around his waist.
(Something he would never have done it anyone else had been home)
He ended up climbing in the bathroom window to get back in the
house, fell into
the bathtub and darn near killed himself.

I'm reminded of the scene from season one of 'Desperate Housewives',
but I suspect your DH was less easy on the eye. ;o)

My brother managed to lock himself out of a hotel room while
travelling on business. He'd been at the bar earlier (probably for
too long!) then went up and ordered room service. For some reason
he was wearing nothing when he set the tray back outside the door.
CLICK the door shut behind him. Oh crap!

He should have worn a robe or a towel at least! He had to take the
elevator down, hide behind a potted plant and PSSSST! at a bellboy
and explain he needed a key to his room. How funny is that?!

Jill

Oh, that is the absolute WORST! (But somehow, I bet hotel employees
see it all! Bet he wasn't the first!)

Sherry

He won't be the last either. ;o)
