    I have some knick-knacks on MY bags. Dinosaurs for my computer-related stuff, anime for backpacks, lunch bags, etc. For me, it's a personalization thing; it also serves as an instant identification from a distance if something thinks that they can snatch my bag and claim it's "their's".

    We don't have many JR terriers in my town. The ones that REALLY annoy me are chihuahuas. Small dogs as a general rule are nervous and yippy, and chihuas in particular are particularly paranoid, especially if they are spoiled as many people use them as child substitutes.

    That will probably be smaller dogs, they are terrible. My greyhound would not bark if Charles Cross was leaning over her 'mum' and stabbing away at her guts.

    French Fries and the carmuda triangle. No matter how careful they always find a way to get into the opening between the seat and car console.

    When you have a computer or phone problem and you go to Google to try and solve it. It always tells you to go to some setting you never heard of but doesn't tell you where that setting is located and then you have to look that up. Or a solution that would take about a year and a half to implement and for which you need about five advanced degrees to even begin to attempt.

    One of the best messing with scammers calls I saw on YouTube involved their request that you go to the store and get gift cards and then give them the number of the card. The guy played along saying that he had gone to the store and gave him the number and when the scammer said that is an incorrect number the guy said well I am reading it right off the bottom of the gift basket. He went on to say how nice the baskets were since they contained soap, hand lotion, a little candle etc. The scammer went crazy and kept yelling no, no, gift card, gift card, not gift basket!

    I do love seafood but I can’t be doing with shells and bones. I don’t want spend 5 minutes removing shell or bones from every mouthful.

    That’s why I ensure that my servants do it of course.

    Absolutely Tel. And how many times do they call just when you’re expecting a call so you come dashing from another room to hear an automated voice telling you that they’re from ‘bank security!’
    They must have a very sophisticated bugging system.

    They frequently call at a time when they know people will be home.

    I get a laugh when they claim to be from the "security department of Visa and Mastercard." When challenged as to how they can be working for both companies which are direct competitors, there is a moment of silence and they try to deny what is obviously the case.
