Pet Issues

Good friend's and neighbors are going out of town to Cabo San Lucas for 9 days and asked my 13 year-old daughter to dog and cat sit.  She said yes and was thrilled because she's sat for them before and she loves animals.  My daughter just came back from getting the house key and last minute updates.  OMG - my daughter needs to be a Veterinarian, not a dog sitter.  One dog has a bad case of fleas and needs to have her stuff sprayed three times a day and if worsens she gets a pill wrapped in cheese.  The other dog has been having seizures.  You have to pick him up and rub him to get him to come around.  They told my daughter if he "goes" then he "goes".  At times they both have bowel and bladder issues, so "please" let out 4 times a day!  What the heck???  Lastly the cat is on a special diet but requires no other maintenance - thank God.  The highlight of all this is that my daughter leaves tomorrow to spend the weekend at her Dad and Step-Mom's until Sunday, so guess who is on duty?  What happened to the days of having a fish as a pet?  (lol)

Who did it and ran???

Pitcure this... I just pulled in to my driveway and I see the "mail lady" approaching, so I greet her and take my mail in hand instead of her placing it in the box.  I need to call my air conditioning tech back who's trouble shooting my unit(out since Friday) via phone 'til he can come in person...  but I need to pee!  I turn on the thermostat, run outside, no movement in unit, run back inside and call while doing a jig to the nearest bathroom. While relieving myself I hear this load sound, crash - very metallic sounding.  I jump up, pants being held up by hand, look into the garage nothing has fallen.  I proceed toward my bedroom to change walking past the front of the house and see my with my neighbor sprinting toward my door.  I open and he's screaming call Security(gated community) maybe they can catch the guy.  I'm asking what happened, then see my mailbox pole leaning to one side and the mailbox itself is m.i.a.  My neighbor proceeds to tell me he didn't get a make or model but described the sound of the car or small truck.  What happened to, Oops, I'm so sorry I hit your mailbox(probably chatting on cell phone) and I'll repair or replace it. They sent this steel box almost one full door down from mine.  They obviously(here's hoping) have mirror or car damage.  I'm so NOT happy about this.  Thanks to residing in this lovely and strict deed restricted community it will be about $300-400 to replace my box.  Ah... bite me!!!

Do men have an "I'm in a relationship-type radar"?

O.K.  I've been single for 2.5 years, on paper officially since April, 2008.  Where were the men to take me to dinner, ask to a movie, meet for a drink and/or just have conversation? You were absent?  You were pre-occupied and not so interested.  Well, now that I am "involved" with someone and not out collecting numbers, at present you decide to call and see "how are you doing?"  

Today is a holiday to celebrate and commemorate the life of our past and present war heroes.  It is not to call me and ask what's new?  Can we meet for a drink?  Are you busy today?  Are your kids with you - hence "booty call".  I've received 4 of these calls in the past 24 hours.  Is there a full moon?  I think men have a "relationship-type" radar?  What do you think?  Publish Post

Air Conditioning Out

I can't believe that my air conditioning unit has stopped working.  It's 82 degrees and climbing.  To make it hotter, my 9 year-old son decides to watch t.v. in my bed/bedroom while I'm in another part of the house.  I come in to hang out with him only to discover he's not only naked under the sheet but sound asleep.  How do you get a "dead weight" body out of your bed and to his part of the house when sound asleep and naked?  Is it appropriate to kick a "non-clothed" male out of your bed?  Heck yes!! Get out - Oh, I'm sorry, I had a flashback from teh Movie Psycho - hope it works!!  Good nite everyone...

Best Friend's Daughter is really blonde!

Picture this... your best friend has two daughters, both brunette and very pretty.  The Eldest one is standing in the hallway when her younger sister comes out of the bathroom and the eldest says, "Oh I thought you were me!"  Now, what the heck is that all about?  She is truly blonde!!

Oops up side the head!

Have you ever smacked your partner up side the head by accident in the heat of passion? 

What not to wear to a co-worker's BBQ?

O.K. Ladies, when visiting a co-worker's house this weekend for a BBQ, do not, I repeat, DO NOT wear a sheer top w/o a bra or a bikini, unless you are trying to be the topic of conversation on Tuesday. 

Welcome to Everyday People Issues

I get requests all the time for advice based on experience and "wisdom" so I decided this would be a great spot to chat with folks and "entertain" at the same time.  Happy blogging.
