Sounds a lot like my treadmill. Besides collecting dust, I find it very useful as a repository for the Christmas tree box.Clothes?! You think I'm going to store clothes on this expensive piece of equipment?! Pfft! Boxes, baby, this thing's going to have boxes on it.
Dan, I heard on the news this morning that wild beaver have been released back into the Devon area, any plans for a road trip?
I expect it's better than tame beaver.Gotta love wild beaver.
Is she the wild beaver?I'm afraid our old friend Betty Swallocks is paying a visit today
Been there, done that. Not fun.Stupid phone scammer called at 7:30, waking me up (day off) and that was it for sleep. They like to call early in the morning to get you when you're groggy and your defenses are down. Need to mute that stupid thing. But then I always forget to un-mute it and miss calls later.
I have my cell phone muted while I sleep, especially during the day when I work night shift, but then I often forget to un-mute and end up missing calls. I have the land line phone I the bedroom on mute permanently, but if a call comes in I can still hear it ring downstairs.
Yes, but I suspect it works just as poorly. I have been on it for years but still get calls.Does Canada have a do not call list like the U.S.?
It might weed out calls from legitimate charities/businesses, but those blood sucking scam artists could care less.
I have never shot a gun, apart from a BB gun when I was a kid.Nice looking gun. I've only shot a pistol once in my life and that's when I was about 4-5 years old. That one was a Luger. Didn't hit a thing.
I've always been curious. Just never did it.
Enjoy the trip!Have a great week, fellas. I'm off on our Plan B vacation to the Smoky Mountains. Catch you on the flip side, unless the zombie apocalypse happens first.
Send us a postcard.
That's a really nice tradition to start.Me and the boy now have a great little Friday night tradition over the last 2 months after lockdown where we go and pick up dinner from whatever takeaway we are having, but we go and have appetizers somewhere else first. I have a beer, he has a soda, and we chat about the week. I gotta be honest, I absolutely love it.
Hopefully he still wants to spend time with you when he's older.
Having daughters, especially teenaged, that kind of one on one time is not really something I could ever get them to do.
I wonder the same thing.I'm old. I've never not had one. But... I do wonder why we do still have one. I need to call my alarm company and see if they're using it as a monitoring line.
I know the alarm company uses the land line, but each person in the house has a cell phone now, so I wonder why we still have a land line. I don't think the alarm companies need a land line now, but would probably have to upgrade the hardware.
Sounds like a perfectly good trade off to me.So what did I wind up doing instead of mowing the lawn? I got sucked into watching the Bourne movies on the SyFy Channel!
I am pretty sure I've done something like that before.
It's not often I get the house to myself. No way I am going to squander that opportunity by doing chores.
