![]() lalatan, While it can be annoying (and sometimes fatal), you kind of have to admire the singlemindedness of farm dogs that can chase cars, trucks, tractors, etc. all day. The training trick sounds interesting. I wish there were an equivalent for city cats. They don't actually chase cars (meowing all the way), but it's not uncommon to have them go 2D in the street (or, as we used to refer to it, get "truck poisoning").

![]() The first video was hilarious! Although I'm not a fan of the f-bomb, I listened to the second video in its entirety. Watching both in quick succession had me laughing, wheezing, snorting and coughing. It was funny when Freeman almost cracked up. Thanks for sharing kate! ![]() Last edited by lalatan : 10-06-2017 at 06:23 AM. |

Since you wonder why: I have no desire to spend the time it would take to train my mind to instantly recognize word patterns one after another nor to train my fingers to type at lightning speed. Some may think me a slacker because of it, but I'm content and feel fulfilled to find long words, set new records, score some points and get trophies for avg pts/word.

![]() I agree. Congratulations, Brisul! I sympathize with lalatan's "slacker" comment though. I have nothing but respect & awe for those players who who can rack up a huge number of points per game, but I don't think I have that in me, so I take my satisfaction elsewhere. Anyway, let us know when you break 1000. I'm sure it'll be soon.

![]() I leave you people alone for five minutes, and look what happens! Flat dogs and cats, cross species copulation, slave labour bears (although they seem to be getting the better part of the deal there).....
Luckily nature tends to always give you a good one (I never acknowledge having a favourite child, but I have always have a current "best", and as we are quite a competitive bunch, it gives them something to strive for). Great share on the Freeman/Attenbourough front, Kate. I hadn't heard the Attenbourough one, and very much enjoyed revisiting Morgan Freeman's narration. If we have a "minds voice", then contemporary cinema has lead to Morgan Freeman's voice being that of God in my mind...God telling the lil darlings to rest their weary heads is always very calming, regardless of the vernacular. My (quite successful) training techniques are generally very positive, well...at least when it comes to dogs. Training the family to support the dogs training is generally positive (the positive feedback is when the dog performs what they want it to do, and impresses the friends) and occassionally sticking up for the dog when they use the wrong word or signal. Training the family to be people starts with a unicorn crapping cupcakes, but can slide though firm advice giving, sarcasm, punitary measures, finally descending to the icy silence that brings with it the knowledge that whatever it is that they want, that want will remain unanswered for quite some time. I would just say "no", except then the silence is broken, and not as ominous. Mud licks. Max talks, ceaselessly, and like a wookie, if you put a lead on him. Well, he used too, but since he is an 18 year old labrador, I don't often have cause to put a lead on him. |

![]() Obviously we need adult supervision. Apparently, you get the job. (Just what you wanted. More kids.) I assume that it's only a matter of time before I'm wearing a hat to hide my little purple dot.
Edit: Sorry, that's a big responsibility to throw on you, I take that back, but you'll have to live with the results. Last edited by Spike1007 : 10-06-2017 at 12:22 PM. |
