  • Brilliant Belinda, these are so funny :D Thanks for cheering up my Saturday night

  • Thank a lawyer for the need for these silly disclaimers.

  • Normally I would agree, but in these cases, don't blame the lawyer but the stupid person(s) who had absolutely no sense!

  • @AJs:

    Do not attempt to stop chain with hands or genitals.
    Chain Saw

    Caution: Do not use near power lines.

    Is it okay to stop the chain with my foot?

    And, uhm, what if my toilet is next to a power line?

  • Instructions with my hairdryer say don't use it in the bathtub. Guess I've been extremely lucky up till now.

    @JENGOSMonkey I WAS THERE FOR '89! I was a kid, but I remember the water coming out of the swimming pool in huge waves and everything falling from the shelves! I was actually born in San Jose, but moved around a lot later LOL I hear the wildfires are more of a concern for you guys now? That's scarier than quakes for me...

    I cannot imagine committing to buy a puppy without seeing the animal and if possible the sire and dam. OTOH, a rescue (or adoption of an older dog) is a different thing. My last two Basenjis came to me sight unseen, and turned out to be wonderful dogs, but the breeders I got them from wanted to place their dogs in an experienced Basenji home, and I only paid the cost of getting the dogs to me. One came by air, one was personally transported to me by his breeder. If she hadn't been happy with what she found I expect she would have taken him back with her when she left. I also had to commit to return him if ever I couldn't keep him. Good breeders care about where their dogs end up.

    @kembe - Very True Kembe, here is a link on looking for a responsible breeder. https://bconc.org/finding-breeders-red-flags There are many scammers out there, don't fall for one.. or a person that is not a responsible breeder.

    @Kembe, nice post! We've gone to solid food chopped up in a food processor, but we're grinding it a bit more course as we go. So far, no puppies are choking, but good to know!

    @Ashmoore92 It got put on the "back burner" ... I have some, but not enough for a book. I'll circle back around to it.
