My first rescue dog came sniffing around a take-away curry I was having one night. I'd had my fill, so I thought, "This'll learn ya for begging" and let him stick his big rubber nose in it.
He polished off what was left, licked his chops and went back to bed without so much as sip of water.
If I had put hot sauce on the walls, I wouldn't have had a home left.
I can see why people like cats. They don't eat your kitchen, of sofa.
I've heard that nurses (and medical staff in general) can be rather perceptive with respect to the needs of patients - it's not all science and a proportion of care relies upon intuition.
I've also heard that the full moon has an impact, the dynamic tending to be more eventful.
I went to visit my parents when my daughter was small.
My mum had taken us up to the spare room to drop our bags off. She was excitedly gabbling and straightening the room of a few things. Without missing a beat she picked up the cat, put her into the built in cupboard and shut the door.
My daughter and I were just standing there watching, a little perplexed, but we both just assumed the cat must like being tidied up in the cupboard where there was clearly a little nook of soft bedding for her on one of the shelves.
After about 10 minutes, my mum started moving things and looking underneath things. I got a word in edgeways and said, "What are you doing, Mum?" "
She said, "I am looking for the cat! I am knowing she is here somewhere!"
I replied, "You tidied her up in the cupboard, Mum."
"Du Idiot! I am not tidying the cat up!" she exclaimed.
After a little arguing about extreme Hausfrau-ing, she flung open the cupboard door to reveal a catatonic cat, clearly wondering wtf was going on.
The cupboard in question was adjacent to the airing cupboard and a favourite place to snooze, hence the bedding on the shelf. It's just my mum usually left the door open and let her come and go as she pleased...
Yes, the moon affects my menstrual cycle. I get different 'symptoms' depending upon where I am in my cycle in relation to where the moon is in her cycle.
I recently read an article based on a study which suggested that people are likely to eat more snacks and consume more soft drinks if they are served on a blue plate, or in a blue cup. Food and drink served in red crockery was found to lower consumption.
I'm going to make sure my pickiest, skinniest grandchild eats off the blue 'Paw Patrol' plate and not the red 'Cars' plate next time I make them their dinner.
Cut a hole in an empty margarine tub (or take-away tub in Gal's case), half fill the tub with Tesco's Value beer and leave in strategic places in the garden.
The slugs take a...um...slug of beer, get pissed, fall in and drown.
At least they die anaesthetised and happy that way.
Unless they're throwing themselves in after the bank foreclosure, of course.
