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.

How did that go?

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

Ha! Here's how it went. I was already too far away from the house to
run back in. I was already nearly at the clothesline, so I waved, they
waved. I got my clothes and went back into the house. Trying to act
nonchalant, but all the time it felt surreal. Like I was having one of
those dreams where you go to work and forget to put your blouse on.

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.

Allright, I'll take some pics of the house next time I'm in town, and post
them for y'all.

Anyways, purrs for a nice new home.

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?!
