One of my good friends owns a gift shop.  She leaves her cat at the shop most of the year.  It lives there contentedly, perching on the counters and getting attention from the customers.  It's male, fixed, and getting on in years.  It's gained weight, and it's never been a little kitty anyhow.  "Milo the Magnificent" weighs about 20 pounds.

Today, a customer walked in to the store.  Maybe I should say waddled.  The woman was as wide as she was tall.  I don't find that surprising these days.  I live in Michigan, which is one of the most obese states in the nation.  Most of the time, people's weight doesn't really register with me.  I'm overweight myself - I don't throw any stones from this glass house.  This woman, however, thudded in, and down the aisle and saw Milo in full-belly sprawl across the glass counter top.  In a tone of absolute horror, all chins wagging, she yelped, "That cat is really fat!"

Uh-huh.  Pot, meet Kettle.

and they could get rabies---- except they do get their shots
or I could get rabies
my husband had to get the series of shots a few years ago

Why don't they make the words SHAMPOO and CONDITIONER larger on bottles so you can tell the difference in the shower (Think about those of us that need glasses.)

I am in total agreement with the shampoo complaint.  I try to place them so I will remember which is which.   Two days ago, I shampooded, rinsed and then conditioned-------only it was the wrong bottle, so I shampooed again.      I don't wear glasses in the shower, either  :rofl; :rofl;

Shampoo goes at the far end of the shower, and conditioner goes up by the shower nozzle.  Keep it straight, paris - that's where mine are!   ;D

I keep asking our neighbors to think about having all the neighborhood gardeners come on the same day each week. That way it will be quiet - no mowers, hedgers or leaf blowers the rest of the time. They don't seem interested. I think they think I am  :urcrazy;
