Never owned, but .......

In Reply to: Truth time- have you ever had a Chia pet or a Clapper? - Janet

First off, my mom and dad had a clapper in their bedroom to turn the lights on/off.  Well my mom told me that everything was great the first few nights.  Then 1 night, after clapping the lights off, my dad farted so loud they came back on.  The look on his face -- and my mom saw it since the lights were on -- priceless.


As for Chia Pets, never had one of those either, but I used to work at McDonald's and the guys had to wear the baseball caps with the mesh around the sides and in the back.  One of the guys that worked there was of Asian descent and when his hair started to get too long, it stuck out of the mesh.  Never happened with the other guys, probably because their hair texture was different.  Anyway, it made me think of a Chia Pet and so I started calling him that.  As soon as I did, he got a haircut quick.  Too funny.

OMG! I would have owned that store!
I would have had the cops there any everything, pressing charges for physical assault! That woman was obviously completely psycho!
I have never owned a foreign car.
My old 1991 Dodge pickup has 450,000 miles on it and I bet it will see half a million. It is a 3/4 ton pickup and still averages about 23 miles to the gallon. Can't beat that. Also have a 2005 Ford F250 and a 2008 Dodge Charger that I am in love with.
I've only owned one cat before....
and his favorite toy was....haha...my dog's tails! He would sit at the arm of the couch, and when my dogs would come by, he would swat at their tails, lol. He also loved paper bags with a hole torn out of the corner to play with, lol. He never actually cared for regular toys, but he liked my balls of yarn I would just wind up, lol, so I made him his own little ball of yarn and he loved that thing. He was the coolest cat I ever had in my household. My family is big on pets, and we each had our own, my parents had a dog, my sister had a cat, and I had a dog, growing up, and I never thought I wanted a cat till I had the one that was a rescue cat that we had since before he was weaned, we had to bottle feed him. He was so friggin awesome. When my son was a baby, he would let my kiddo pull on his fur and tail, even the little hairs on his ears and his whiskers, and he never once hissed at my son or scratched or bit him. He was a rockin cat...he passed away about 6 years ago, miss that little guy.
Not once in your post did you state that YOU even owned a cat, it's always sm
one of your family members? You'd think you'd have one yourself if you were such a fan??????

I have one.
[Sigh....]..... don't you wish you owned the patent

Does anyone or has anyone owned boston terriers?...sm

I am a dog lover to the nth degree.  I love all dogs.  Or so I thought.  My brother-in-law and sister-in-law were going out of town and called and asked if I would dogsit if they brought them over.  I was hesitant because they tend to get on my nerves when I am around them (the boston terriers not my BIL and SIL).  I said I guess.  So here he comes bringing them and they arrive wide open jumping on me and all up in my face, both of them.  I have a beagle of my own who is the ultimate laziest and low key dog you will ever know.  I also have a pit bull who is the kindest gentlest giant ever.  They are both well behaved and have never acted like those dogs do.  The minute my pit bull smelled her he went and was really sniffing her back end more than a dog usually would like she was in heat or something.  So my husband said she isn't in heat is she?  My pitbull is a male.  My BIL said I don't know.  My husband said she lives in the house with you. What do you mean you don't know.  He said well she shouldn't be in heat.  So we blew it off.  Well these dogs drove me nuts.  I mean nuts.  While working at my computer one sat and kept trying to jump in my lap while I was working and would dive up and hit my arm and of course cause me to mess up.  I was furious. I was on the verge of throwing the dog outside.  But it was storming so I didn't.  Then when I went in the living room to take a break and watch TV a few minutes one jumps up in my lap of course and when I went back to work I noticed blood on my pants.  I said oh great she was in heat.  I was ticked off.  I called my BIL and no answer.  I didn't know what to do.  So I loaded them up and took them home to their house where the back door was unlocked and left them with plenty of food and water.  I will just go let them out periodically.  I will be wasting my gas but oh well.  It is about 10 mintues away.  I just had to vent about these annoying little dogs.  I would have never dreamed there was a dog that I didn't like.  I can now say there are 2 dogs I don't like.  What are your experiences with boston terriers? I think it is the fact they won't sit down and are constantly jumping in my face and on my head that makes me annoyed.


I don't know about anyone else, but if I owned an Escalade, I sure wouldn't lend it out.

IAMS is owned by Proctor and Gamble.
All of their products are tested like she said. What she states is very true!
Great teen stores. They are owned by the same ... SM
establishment (for lack of a better word LOL). Gap is the more expensive, higher end, clothing. Old Navy is less expensive and is what the kids around here wear the most of. Either is really good but Old Navy goes a lot further in your budget.

Maurice's is good and not so high priced, if you have one of those nearby. And don't forget about the old standbys like Macy's, Penney's, Sears, and Belk's if these are in your area of the country.
We owned a coffee shop 5 years ago and here is my recipe (sm)
I have an espresso maker and a hot chocolate maker.  I buy white chocolate and dark chocolate at Cash N Carry.  I buy cups and lids at Costco.  I buy sleeves at Cash and Carry.  My daughters and friends say it is better than Starbucks!!  The hot cocoa maker froths the chocolate up just as well as our $1000 machine did at our original shop!! :))
Owned a coffee shop and told by experts not to sm
freeze or refrigerate beans as it takes moisture out and does something to the oils. Only buy what you need and only grind what you need right before you use it. I was surprised too!
No fast food. Disgusting. Only locally owned restaurants.
