What on earth is that chair doing there?  

hi fulltank I don't think you really understood my question.
I was not talking about vendors but inanimate objects that'seemed out of place to you. Did you ever see something that was not'
where it should be,not a person but a thing? My example was a
plastic lawn chair sitting alongside a freeway onramp. It did not belong there so wondered how it got there? why it was there?

Vendors do not belong to pedestrian lanes where it should be used by people. Students in uniforms does not belong to internet cafe. Politicians do not belong to casinos. Thats what I was taking when you said not belong there. I think it still applies to your discussions.

hi fulltank yes I think that could work too, have you ever been to Mexico or rather Baja California,talk about vendors ,little street kids go out between cars coming in over the border selling paper flowers and other things. I cannot understand how they keep from getting hit, oh of course the cars are moving slow.then on the streets in tijuana vendors,,mostly kids,will be selling everything you can think of . it is really interesting.

hi ElicBxn how funny and it goes to show that dogs and
cats can have fun with the offest things. I lost the
cap off my bottle of tums, and saw my roomies cat'
playing with it,he would toss it, then scoot it, then
pounce on it, and yet she had a zillion toys for that
cat and he really did not touch them. He also liked
'my watch which was minus its strap. I laid it on top
the bedside table when I went to bed, and in the night
he took his paw and swiped it onto the floor. woke me
'up playing with it. lol lol lol.

Honestly, there's a saying among cat fanciers, that anything not nailed down is a cat toy, anything nailed down is negotiable...

But the ONLY way to get a cat to play with a toy is to tell them 1 - it isn't a toy and 2 - it isn't theirs and they must not touch!

You should'a seen us with the new cat tree.

We made a little sign, said "keep off" and they LOVED it!

but since we made the sign on a post-it note, it lasted about 30 seconds...

My cat found a bag that had potpourri in it ( I use old pretty gift bags and put the old potpourri in it and reapply scent). The cat decided to play "flower girl" and throw it all over the floor and send it flying and scooting everywhere.

hi Elic and Garden gerty cats playing would make a great'
video but I bet that has been done of course.he he.

Not at my house, I'm too busy cropping dirt outta my pix...

oh my gosh, wow dirty pictures no dirt out of your pictures I get it. i have a naughty mind tonight for sure. Pictures of your cats I will bet.

Yeah, I'd rather be here on mylot than cleaning house. A "haus frau" I'll never be... (from the original Stepford Wives)

hi ah the stepford wives what a movie that was. I was
never much of a haus frau either.I do love mylotting though.

hi dragon I used to live In tempe Arizona years back. I read
something about that art on the freeways too, a while back
I think it was. I can imagine it would be a shock to see'
some of that stuff.when we lived in tempe somebody thought
it was funny and hung a life sized doll in a tree by its'neck, so people driving bye thought it was real and called the police.
talk about a waste of money,police cars and an ambulance with paramedics all out and for what a darned big dummy. wow. They'should have found the person who played the trick and fined
them a whopping big fine.

hi cream yes it amused me as it looked like somebody had'actually been using it. that was probably and my wild imagination however.
]And too I had just been waiting for the little access bus to take me back to Gold Crest and my legs were so tired.so the
thoughts of chairs where I could have sat were still in my
mind while I was in the bus.

I bet your flower "child" had a lot of fun with your flowers...

Oh, and I've seen those "flower beds" on HGTV - the roomie's dad tried to trick one up with PVC pipe, but didn't keep after it...

My mother had something similar to the flower bed in our child while we were growing up. She found an old toilet at a garage sale and she planted flowers in it and then painted on the front Ruth's Flower Pot. My sister and I hated that thing and were always embarrassed by it

hi gardengerty do not feel bad my brain is the same way tonight
I got my flu shot this afternoon and when I sat down to eat supper
i felt a cold chill go down my back and for a moment I thought oh no i am getting the flu. nope it was just cold in the room. everyone is so gungho on worrying about the flu that when I sneezed onthe bus the woman ahead of me said I do hope you dont have the flu so I just smiled and said I hope so too. I have seen several of those flower bed things too and they actually'looked fairly good once the flowers were all in bloom.to use a toilet though oh wow I do not think I would have liked my name on it. he he he.

hiblackbriar that just reminded me of one time when myhusband and I were moving , we were on the freeway and a highway patrol office stopped us.he was holding some pieces of cardboard. he said please do tie this stuff down.you have been throwing out these pieces of cardboard for about half a mile. so my hubby got
out of the pickup and found that the pieces of cardboard he had put between some items of furniture were not tight enough and just came out in the breeze. so he just took them and put some heavy stuff on top so they could not blow out of the back of our pickup. the officer was really nice about it,he did not give us a ticket.

That was very nice of the officer to stop you and let you know you were losing the cardboard. Not all will do that or just stop you to give you a ticket for littering.

hi blackbriar yes I thought sure he was going to give us a ticket and it would really cost but he did not. just wanted to let us
know what was going on.

hi tamara you are like me,if I had seen that my hubby would have stopped for sure as we both liked things like that. he he.
but the one thing we really did not like was the day a keg of nails was blown off a pickup and onto the highway. there were ten cars skidding to stops and a real traffic mess. an italian man in a chauffuer driven limosene came over to us. he had an aaa card and he phoned and got a tow truck to take our pickup with its four flat tires to the nearest garage which by the way he owned, and he took us there in his limosene . then while they put new tires on which the man paid for over our protests he took us to an italian restaurant we found out he owned a chain of these restaurants. he never let us pay for anything. he was i guess sort of our guardian angel.

hi pyewacket yes ewww this makes me remember the evening when I was coming back from the nearby store and found this odd ring on the ground that did not look like anything I had seen and a card with it said something about a co#k ring.we had not been married long and I was a bit naive . my hubby laughed then explained just what the gross thing really was for, and I think I sort of turned red as he laughed some more. thank goodness he never used one.he he he.

hi alice yes does sound a little odd fish tanks in a computer room.brr whenever someone says fish tanks I think of this woman dentist who hurt me so bad trying to kill a nerve before root canal. she had this humongous fish tank in the waiting room so I came to associate fish tanks with pain ouch.

I had a nerve removed in a tooth recently but never had root canal work. I need to visit again because I'm sick of the same filling falling out, it's got to be that particular dentist because I've never had this trouble before from my previous dentist. When I'm in the waiting room I'll be thinking of you and the fish tanks lol.

hi alice oh that dentist was one in a million, she hurt me so much and kept saying she could not give me any more pain medication.well she was not the one hurting. lol. hope you
have much better luck with your dentist.

Thanx Hatley

hi alice hope your dentist visit went well. I have a lot of dental work I need done but dont have that much money yet.

I haven't been yet Hatley... too much going on at the moment I hardly have time to think!

hi alice oh dont put it off too long or you might be like
me I just waited til my teeth are too bad and now I canot
afford it. lol lol

I force myself to go at least twice a year, but because the dentist removed the nerve from this one I'm not getting any pain or sensitivity in it after I walk now, but that won't stop it from rotting! ... I will go, maybe after the holiday season.... or before I find a job, paying for it can be quite expensive.

hi lina machina ah yes a giant clothes pin sure it would need a giant clothesline plus the giant too. the first time I saw this
giant cube standing on one edge was on the freeway. It is supposed to make people aware of the large science museum behind it I guess. it is truly huge and balanced on one corner. I mean
it always maked me wonder what would happen to it if we had a pretty big earth tremor, would it topple?
