I am trying to talk him into a labradoodle. My friend has one. He is darling. My son found a 2 year old husky at the shelter. Lots of fur though. But, pretty blue eyes. His owners still might claim him, though.
The strider takes up about 2 by 3 ft in use. Then it can become more compressed in its standing upright position like a base of a vacuum and can be wheeled to other rooms. I like it. It glides easily.
My youngest son sad that he would take me to Dead Lobster, that is what we call it, if I use it every day for 20 minutes for 2 months. It has a meter on it.
Copa, I thought that you were walking. Were we talking theoretically about the future? Walking is good for you, to get out and about. I am out every day with work and I go places on the weekend. Because I work full time, I do not like being home during the day on my time off. I only stay home if I am sick or have a home project. I even correct papers out and about.
I really want you to start walking. Just start off very slowly. Around the block or to the corner and back. It releases endorphins...just like shopping, only free.
I need to find other things to do besides shopping. I am usually by myself. I am getting good deals, but buying too many things. I am not a horder, more of a pack rat status. I am glad that I bought the glider, though. That was a beneficial purchase. It will help to control my blood sugar.
Get a new inhaler...so that your roar is a RRROOOAAARRR!!!!
Take care. You are handling things with your perfectly.

Wow. Great. College credits equal more pay, no? Remember the Fish House restaurant I told you about. I loved that place. If you take your son try to sit at the bar (not a full bar--a horseshoe shaped eating bar) with only room for say 10 people. You meet people from all over the world. Easy to chat.
I wonder if you will be staying at Asilomar. I have been twice. It is wonderful. All inclusive. Fun. You eat at big tables with other people. Right on the beach.
Pebble Beach (you know this, I know) has great antiques. You will be in your element. There is a nice yarn store in Pebble Beach and a really nice one in Carmel. I used to get knitting lessons there. I liked the owner if it is the same woman.
So, now, I have told you about my favorite things about Monterey except for Goodwill which you already know.
A dog story: We adopted a border collie from the Salinas humane society. I had to leave him home alone to go to work. He chewed up my house, which was a rental. I mean, he chewed furniture, counters, etc. I brought him back. Clearly I did not meet his needs. We were banned from adopting again from that humane society.
I still feel bad.

My quote machine is not working. I took my benadryl so I will have to cut it short anyway.
The northern breeds are M's favorite. I hope is owners come. Too much hair.
Great about "Dead Lobster."
I am proud of you to be out and about. I used to be a cafe studier. I got into graduate school in Berkeley cafes. Where I live has nowhere to go. No public place that calls for me. I am from the Bay Area, full of street life. You know how I feel about street life.
The upside of where I live is that the people are warm. Just doing shopping is a pleasure. Costco, 99cent store, Sears...people are so nice to me. I never liked Sears in my whole life. Now I go to return Lands End stuff. The patrons and workers are so kind. I love returning stuff.
Where I live has nice walking paths throughout the small city, alongside creeks. I can walk 5 minutes to a path constructed for walking. There are always people out. They say Hi. Once an elderly Sikh man ran up to me and hugged me and kissed me, and conversing in Punjabi. GoingNorth on this site he must have thought he knewm me because Sikhs are among the most well-mannered of people.
That is another reason I like where I live. It is so multi-cultural. The inland of California, as you know, is cheaper. We have gotten large groups of immigrants, Southeast Asian refugees, Sikh, all manner of Latin Americans, Portuguese largely from the Azores, many Arabic peoples. I love that.
The downside is that there is a legacy of prejudice here in this formerly white-dominated town. My Dad's family came 100 years ago. They were narrow minded people. When I went to my cousin;s funeral there were maybe 300 people there. One non-white person. And he was the date of his daughter. A lot of prejudice. Even against my mother, my maternal family. That is one of my earliest realities, the recognition that I was to some extent rejected by my father's family.
I lived here first about 20 years ago. I was in a one year long leadership program. Once a month we met and were introduced to a facet of the community: Like health, education. My favorite day was agriculture. I have always had a fascination with agriculture since I was a child. We went to a pig farm. Sad. But we went to a big almond ranch. There was a group of Ag people there. We were standing around in an open barn. I remember like it was yesterday. I spoke up for the agricultural workers, the undocumented. I became a pariah. I do not know how I had such guts/stupidity. All these years later I felt such a fool. To do such a thing, I would tell myself, was self-destructive. There are moments though when you have to speak your truth. I did. What can I do?
Well, I've been chatty kathy after all. Good night, feeling. I am glad you checked in.

I know that about Border Collies. Big mistake. I still feel bad. I should have known.

Leafy, my techie son put it together in about 15 or 20 minutes. Your hubs can do it and then you could praise him profusely.
It is good for exercising when it is blustery outside, dark, or I just do not want to go out walking. Also, nonimpact. I do sideways leg lifts on it, and it exercises your abdomen and inner thigh area. You can also bend your knees and stride and it hits your thigh and abdominal muscles.
My son just scared me twice. He turned off the new automatic lights with a controller. Then, with the lights back on, he slowly crept around the corner wearing an old man's mask.
Yes, Copa, he is feeling better. We have fun doing this to each other. Funny, how real life was scary as well...
He says that labradoodles are weird looking and that huskies are low allergy and stream-lined as Hell... He wants to call it Scout.
Well, my Slider is stream-lined as Hell... Maybe I will call my Slider Scout. Here, boy! Stay, SCOUT, stay.

We have a lot of border collies here where I live now, because it is an agricultural area. But you never see them at the humane society. I guess they are all at work.
What you see here at the humane society are a million chihauhaus, pitbulls, and to a lesser extent german shepherds. We have idiot people here that do not neuter their animals.

Why not sell on Ebay? Then you can teach me how to take photos on a digital camera and upload them.
That is horrible!!!!
Huskies are not hypo-allergenic. Just to make sure I will check. He is kidding you.

Chinese Crested
This pup sheds little to no hair, which again can lower—but not eliminate—allergens in the home.
One member of the breed, Sam, had the dubious distinction of being voted the unofficial world’s ugliest dog for three years in a row.
Chinese crested dogs comes in two versions—hairless, which have hair on the head, feet, and tail; and powderpuff, which have a soft coat over the entire body.
These dogs weigh 10–13 pounds.
Yes, Labradoodles are hypo-allergenic, too, as are poodles and portuguese water dogs.
How can you resist?????

Maybe he can take Romy. He finally learned how to be house trained (one year it took). Now he is crate trained. You can have him cheap. Like please take him, I will pay you whatever you want. Except he has too much hair. He is a Yorkie.

He just said...no way. Even after sering the picture. I guess that it does not fit his 'manly' image.

I was talking about the crested...you would miss your dog.
My son and I have always teased each other for years, just now I am a bit jumpier. But, he is feeling better.

Pleasant dreams of cheery Chinese Crested...
I will try to talk him into a labradoodle. Huskies are low allergy. They still have dander and fur.
