<p>we have that shedding dog chaser yet to come; it hasn’t quite warmed up enough here! But I can see that she is just getting ready to…SPROING! Though she manages to keep shedding long after I figure all that extra fur HAS to be gone.</p>
<p>I don’t know about lilacs, but there is a great new-ish liqueur called “St Germain” that is based on some sort of flower and it is heavenly. Shall we pretend it’s lilac and all get smashed on springtime?</p>
<p>“St. Germaine” liqueur sounds good, especially for owners of fragrant German Shepherds :p</p>
<p>My German shepherd was uber fragrant this evening. I’m still trying to figure out what kind of roadkill he must have rolled in. But the pungent shepherd aroma in the backyard is now nicely masked by the scent emitted by my daphne odora bush. :D</p>
<p>OMG. When I peeked into the alley earlier, I thought p3t’s post said “SLEDDING dog chaser” instead of SHEDDING!!! I was completely clueless; pictured her running around in her back yard after her huskies or something!..I just did one of those smiles and nods that you do when you when you have absolutely no idea about what the people around you are talking about!!!</p>
<p>much too late for these old eyes!!! <em>shakes head sadly</em></p>
<p>^^funny, but to be truthiful: That “SHEDding dog chaser” was Mafool’s contribution to tonight’s lunacy.</p>
<p>'Tho I did take my kids on a sled dog ride once, at an Ottawa wintertime ice festival, actually it was in Hull, Quebec, a dozen huskie dogs barking in French (oeuf, oeuf), pulling us in circles.</p>
<p>“oeuf, oeuf” :D</p>
<p>Just spit out some of my coffeee, that struck me so silly/funny. Thanks!</p>
<p>Once one of my kids drew a picture of a dog and the sound of barking was depicted as “R R R R R”…</p>
<p>OK, now I have to go and clean up the keyboard. R R R R </p>
<p>Spot can talk but she says “bar bar bar bar” - maybe it is Beer Beer Beer?</p>
<p>Did you know that in Swedish pigs say, “naf naf?”</p>
<p>Isn’t that a clothing brand, Naf Naf?</p>
<p>Welcome Alu, have a St Germain(e?)!</p>
<p>How do you teach a pig Swedish? Rosetta Stone?</p>
<p>Dogs bark differently in different countries, but cats always say “meow”. Why is that?</p>
<p>Alu - we’ve missed you!</p>
<p>Yes. I missed you too. Drunk on springtime. Would that we could stay that way all the days of our lives.</p>
<p>Did any of you watch All My Children when you were teenagers?</p>
<p>ME!!!</p>
<p>ME!!!</p>
<p>I’m a lowbrow!!!</p>
<p>^^Nope.</p>
<p>It was As The World Turns, at my mother’s knee. Amazingly (and remember, jmmom is <em>old</em>) some of the same actors are still on. I don’t watch it anymore, but if I am working at home and that time of day comes, I’ll click on the channel for a minute or two. I associate soap operas with being home sick from school and having saltine crackers.</p>
<p>I’m lowbrow, too. Anybody wanna make something of it? You’ll have to take on me and SB.</p>
<p>But my new lowbrow is more along the lines of Top Chef - Project Runway - American Idol - Dancing with the Stars - Iron Chef lowbrow. I haven’t sunk to Survivor-Bachelor lowbrowness, though.</p>
<p>Alu- I did - 7th grade and a bit thereafter when I was home sick. I have a relative who is literally as manipulative as Palmer & Adam together, that is the best example combo of this man who drives us crazy with his manipulations!
I am w/jm, embracing my lowbrow side with reality shows- top this and top that, any junk on Bravo, etc</p>
<p>The only “daytime drama” I watched when younger was “Dark Shadows”. I used to watch “Iron Chef” its first couple seasons in the US, but I’ve gotten hints that it’s just not very good anymore: anyone confirm or deny? </p>
<p>I was just thinking… and I realize that my television hasn’t been turned on since January when the boys left to go back to school. The screen still has wax on it from where the candles my taller half put on top of it for Earth Hour dripped. Maybe I should cancel the cable…?</p>
