Nams,
Have you heard of Pavlov and his dog? I think he is the guy who treated a child who was afraid of dogs. He sat the child in a room and gave him an ice cream cone and then introduced a dog into the room. The boy's love of the ice cream blunted his fear of the dog.
So, to apply this principle to your dog, have him sit in a chair and have one of your sons walk slowly into the room eating an ice cream cone. Or maybe a dog biscuit.

Oh, I'm not discounting a ghost.
The reason I think this is an issue of being scared is because she's fine outside & in her hiding areas. She eats & gets rid of what she eats. She was just outside barking at the much hated little white dog from next door. She's a bit of a racist really. She's a rottweiler/german shepard mix. She has the coloring of a rotty but the body of a shepard. Very pretty. She HATES little white dogs.
Todd, while cleaning my fridge I looked in the cabnet above & I found my iron. I thought I threw it out after the craft project had ruined it. Since I clearly have no use for it I can send it along to you with instructions on how to use it as a grill. I'll even make up a little something & send it along with it. Another care package.

Maybe it's the ghost of an ice cream cone that has her spooked!

I added some Frank's Hot Sauce - Chili & Lime to my meat loaf & sauteed mushroms. Yummy! I have some blueberries in the freezer that I'll micro wave right now. How long Todd? 1 or 2 hours? Will that be enough time?
Kiwi's gonna have lots of catching up to do. Sorry FC, just a joke.

Pio, my dear Sir: Given the nature of the aisle in question, I'm almost afraid to ask what got spilled on #3... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> tee&el (There, now I have vowels.) <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

That's fine Nams, I can take a joke. But not abuse. Someone needs to find some happy pills and fed ex them to Texas. Quam celerime.
Kiwi would do best to omit all those depressing pages.

nams,
Thank you but I had best decline the iron. I haven't been in jail in a long time and don't really fancy going back. Besides, now that I eat and take showers in my clothes, they don't seem to be as wrinkled. My son did bring his iron over and I tried to smooth out my shirt a little but now I have burn marks all over my chest and arms.
I will however, happily accept the care package.

It depends on the watts rating of your microwave. Don't use the defrost setting; it takes waaay too long. If you are defrosting an entire package of blueberries, I would shoot for an hour on high. That should do it.

I awoke this morning with the earworm "Tequila Sunrise". I don't know why. I didn't drink tequila last night and I had the drapes closed so I did not see the sunrise. Any ideas how to get rid of it? It is about cheating you know. Maybe I can replace it with Lyin' Eyes. Oh no, that one is about cheating also.
Is it coincidence that so many songs, television shows and movies are about cheating? I think I just depressed myself.

Go on line & search your favorite music & play a little. Or how about this:
It's a small world after all
It'a a small world after all
It's a small world after all
Its a small, small world
There! New earworm! You're welcome.
Gotta go.

Another earworm is Mozart's Eine Kline Nachtmusik. Don't even listen to it once, it will be with you for an eternity.

2much,
After careful inventory, I have discovered that I bought only black cables ties nad white cable ties. At first that seemed reasonable because they are so practical. Then it occurred to me that it is odd that I didn't buy any grey cable ties. So my new cable ties are black and white with no grey. I was wondering if there might not be a hidden meaning in that too? DDDuuuhhh???? As if you can't see it??? You hate the grey zone...you like things black and white, clear, direct, no room for confusion, misinterpretation. Pio, is this a set up or are you for real and what do you do with the cable ties???? Are you preparing for something?

I don't think you've been abused. Mel tells it like it is and if you're not willing to follow the methods that have worked for hundreds in the past, she has little patience.
But if you listen to her, and follow her advice, you will find (as I did) she is right on the money and it all makes sense.
Trust me, I had to learn the hard way.

Todd, I had a roommate in college who could make the best grilled cheese sandwiches with an iron. No joke.

Stef, I think you missed the part about my not asking for advice. Not once did I ask for any. It's not that i don't think the advice here is good, it's just it will not apply to my situation. In a perfect world, I think it's the best thing going. And there's no doubt that it has helped more than hundreds in the past. That's probably why I don't need to post here. It brings the worst out in people. It's obviously a huge trigger for her. I am certain that I remind several of them of someone that they took huge issue with. However, that's not me.

Another earworm is Mozart's Eine Kline Nachtmusik. Don't even listen to it once, it will be with you for an eternity. Oh, that sound has served as earworm on many days. Ironically, yesterday my earworm was another Mozart composition, in fact, specifically, the great Toscanini's interpretation of Mozart's 40th Symphony in G minor.

I'll talke the 40th any day in comparison to Eine Kleine or however you spell that German. Now a really "good ear worm" is the Requiem. Now that is great music and I could have it in my ear for eternity and never be upset at all. To me it is heavenly. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

nams,
I am convinced that "Small World" is also about cheating.
it's a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
there's so much that we share (WS & OP)
that its time we're aware
its a small world after all
