I have been.......

If I don't get my sleep, it upsets my whole day.

Dlane you would have a best seller if you wrote a book about Finn.

I laugh everytime you talk of him.

Good luck Dlane.

I have been wanting a gin and tonic for awhile now, soooooooooooooo

Gin & Tonic it is. So refreshing in this heat. Apicius www.parfumo.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1128 and others may like wine I'll take gin.

Sounds like that might be a total waste of a roast chicken! Poor Finn. I wonder if there are any gradual training procedures that the dog whisperers use. My old cat had a slew of irrational fears when I adopted him and gradually over time he got over them. These days he doesn't even run from the vacuum! He still has healthy fear of strangers, though.

Just reset the whole thing, there is an option in settings. Makes it like new.

Make sure you sync it with your computer and your apple I'd so you don't lose the song you purchased.

Ditto. I have been talking to my mom about Nook versus Kindle. She ended up talking me into getting a Nook HD+ while the prices are slashed this week. Will I like it? I wonder whether I'll ever lose my fondness for fondling paper books...

It's just not the same. I have a Kindle Fire HD. It's like a giant smartphone but no phone calls. I prefer paper and the excitement of going to the store to browse for books.

People who own them love them, however I would not buy. My bookcase would be bare if I never bought books.

But you could put all of your beautiful perfume bottles on display!

My mom's most persuasive argument was that you can actually highlight and mark pages. This is an issue for me, as I read a lot of library books and use post-it flags and the like. Sometimes it becomes overwhelming. Of course, in the books I own, marginalia abounds!

Dlane,
I know it's hard to imagine now, but by the time we feel like going to bed at 4:30 we won't mind it. I've watched various people and animals get super old and they all just like to sleep all the time. I can see it in my old kitty now, he doesn't feel like he's missing anything, he just needs some comfy spots where he can conk out and he's happy.

I like paper books. I like turning pages and using a bookmark and all that stuff. I'll never use a pad.

Roger!

Because... what a life is that - can not wear your evening perfumes!

Hey, I go to bed at 4:30 pm sometimes. But it's my equivalent to 4:30 am.
I have been....laughing my butt off. I showed my boyfriend a picture of Dolby's cat from her page (I was admiring her collection and deviated to the cat album), and he said, "Could this be a more beautiful moment?" I said something about childbirth and he made a funny noise in his throat. I then said, "Yeah, maybe not so beautiful; babies come out looking like they're covered in Parmesan cheese and their heads are shaped funny from being pushed through the cervix". And he had no idea! He thought they came out clean, plump, and rosy.

Currently there is no success, but some still doggedly trying

It's funny how we often change our minds about a future stage in life when we finally get there and realize, "Hey, it's not so bad!"

My grandmother was very old when she died and was basically bed-ridden due to age-related health problems for the last several years of her life. We all felt sorry for her, since she'd been so active and independent her whole life. Finally one day my uncle got mad and said something like, "Why is everyone always making judgments about her quality of life? I know my mother, she's happy!" And the truth was, she was happy. She lived with her family, not in a rest home, she had frequent visitors, her game shows on tv (she preferred Regis over Meredith on Millionaire) and a comfy bed. I don't think she would've wanted to check out any sooner than she did.
