I say yes, you say no, OR People are Strange

My SIL's dog licked a regular toad yesterday, and apparently didn't like the taste, as massive amounts of drooling ensued. Or maybe it was a coincidence. She drools when she chews on rocks, too. She doesn't swallow them, just tries to crack them in the back of her jaw and them drops them and drools. Strange dog.

I like unsweetened tea, as well. But growing up, it was always "unsweetened" and now, suddenly seems to be "unsweet", which sounds grammatically incorrect to me and bugs me.

Hmm, controversial subjects: I prefer Pepsi to Coke, lime over lemon, grapefruit over orange, Chevy over Ford, dark chocolate over milk or white chocolate. What else? I had Brussels sprouts for the very first time last weekend. Grilled. Meh. *ducks*

I love frogs and toads. I think they are adorable.

Don't know what's going on with Miss Poppy - she's taken to hiding under our bed when I want to try and put her out in the morning. The workmen are finished in our street for the time being so I can't see what is spooking her.

Sending gentle hugs to Blue!!

Thanks Yorkie, but she had been doing this while he was still here. We've had our gutters replaced over the last few weeks and she seemed to be spooked by the workmen outside. She's just getting too clever for me. I had no choice but to leave her in for the day.

New rallingy cry, "Aurora Bridge!"

I like that rallying cry, bartender! "Aurora Bridge!"

My votes are cats and unsweetened tea.

Hi all,

Gosh, a lot happens when you're away for a few days. I've missed everyone, especially the camaraderie, on this thread. I've read through pages and pages so: dogs (allergic to cats), fresca, hate bats, toads and frogs are okay, love feeding birds, squirrels, raccoons, rabbits and deer, trolls are scary, hate brussel sprouts, love the new health care initiatives for women, wouldn't go to the atheist thread because I'm not an atheist, wouldn't go to a Republican website because I'm not a Republican, never knew what dressage was so thanks for all the lessons, come here for support and friendship. I'm not sure if I covered everything. Had my grandson over the weekend then went to Atlantic City for a couple of days to meet with my cousin and his wife from N.Y. Didn't win any money for my huge co-pays but had a good time anyway. Back to the Olympics and soon to bed. Will I get banned for saying the R word??

Excellent summary Glenna! I think that just about covers it!

Good morning all

susieq58, Congrats on the bone density results.

I don't blame Poppy for wanting to stay in that is cold.

Glenna - you should be our official thread minutes taker - superb summary!

Blue -- Thanks for the clip!  DH and I were discussing Gore Vidal's passing yesterday, and to brighten things up, he reminded me of Laugh-In and Lily Tomlin playing the telephone operator trying to reach Mr. Vidal:

"One ringy-dingy, two ringy-dingies" 

"Hello, hello Mr. "Veedle"?" 

"Is this the party to whom I am speaking?" 

"Snort, snort etc." 

Oh gardengumby - don't ever go to France!  Dogs are let in to the finest establishments!  Even Michelan 3 Stars (there are only 10 3 stars in France the year I ate at one - I wasn't paying!) There was a German Shepard under the table next to us!  In our hotel, a bulldog was sleeping on the lobby setee.   I guess they do let animals on to airplanes, but the only other place I've seen them, storewise, in the USA, are in the Pet Stores...but I guess you wouldn't be going there.  Also, I'm curious about the dander issue, as I've seen, atleast with cats, it is actually the saliva that causes the problem, but if you never get near to the animal, how could that be?
