Sniper scopes are traffic control equipment....

Bank error in your favor….keep the interest??

Its not smuggling if its for your personal use.

If you’re going to use a parking ticket as an excuse to search someone, better make sure the parking ticket is legal first.

Harassed for staying healthy while pregnant.

The prescription was legal, they arrested her anyway.

The 60hr work week isn’t as productive as once though.  (I coulda told you that)

The frequent fliers who flew to much.  Or, if you didn’t want them to use it then you shouldn’t have sold it to them.

The incredibly long, and painfully short, life of a dog.

Accents

1 Comment by

Tam is having fun with accents at the moment.  Now I was born and raised just north of Boston MA by parents from the Mid-west part of the country.  I was publicly made fun of (by my dad) if I ever dared mangle my R’s or do much else that resulted in improper pronunciation.  If anything I sound vaguely mid-western, but generally have not much accent at all unless I’ve been hanging round someone who does, then I have to put conscious effort into NOT copying their accent.  Though I can crack up my husband in a heartbeat by trotting out the old standard of  “pahk the cah in Hahvahd yahd” in pure Bostonion.

The stories in the comments of her posts reminded me of the experience of a co-worker a while back.  While I was working for Home Depot one of the front end supervisors came up to me quite horrified by a miss-translation he’d just had.  Seems he’d had a customer ask him for a “dough”.  My co-worker was quite confused, and it took several back and forths before he realized the customer was looking for a “door”.  He was horribly embaressed by it, I just laughed.

Expanded dog food recall

3 Comments by

If you feed any of the following brands of food:

Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover’s Soul

Country Value

Diamond

Diamond Naturals

Premium Edge

Professional

4Health

Taste of the Wild

 

Please go here to determine if the food you are feeding is included in the expanded recall.

Please note, the recall is for salmonella.  You can avoid getting sick yourself by washing your hands with soap after handling your dog’s food.  If your dog is healthy it is unlikely he’ll get sick from salmonella, however if your dog has a weakened immune system for any reason (including recently have had vaccinations) you should seriously consider buying something new for your dog.
