We had a Beware of the dog sign on our gate when we had an Alsatian years ago . A little boy asked me if there really was a dog and he sounded like he wasn't convinced . when I assured him there was. My sign was hand painted...

pandaeyes I often see garage doors with please do not park in front of the doors written on them and a car parked slap bang in front anyway. I guess sometimes it needs more than words to convey a message.

pandaeyes Hmm but being a tom,he will most likely return to his territory anyway at some point if he can. One of my colleagues at work 'adopted' a cat in his street, it would come in through their window so they started to feed it and soon called it fluffy and had a...

Whenever I blog my diaries from the 1980s they jog my memory as to the appalling computers I had to endure both at College and in the workplace! The computer at College (I think) was an IBM and had terrible keys that were so...

pandaeyes someone gave us an apple IIE in about 1995. It was an excellent little machine. Sadly the mouse for it from apple was about £50 and we found it was frustrating to use the 'joystick' that was with it as it lacked control. It was impressive though for its...

I like to know who the actors are in films and TV programmes that we watch. Sometimes it can become a bit of an obsession. I will say to my husband 'don't turn to the other channel yet' and he will say 'why not'? I will answer...

pandaeyes Its so frustrating when they are too fast. I suppose they are sped up to fit the TV slot.

pandaeyes I usually recognise tunes from films but I hardly ever knw what they are called. Even things like bond films, I think of the song as the same name as the film.

My daughter was telling me about the time travelers wife which is a book about a man who travels back in time and meets his own wife at various intervals. I wonder if we were able to go back in time but could only meet our own...

pandaeyes That is a sad story. I think sometimes we emulate our parents, sometimes we try to do the exact opposite,I try to be the opposite. I was watching a doctor who episode where the female companion of the doctor(he travels in time) says she wants to go back and...

Okay, I need to be more mobile since I never know where I am from day to day. I don't have access at night presently and that causes me to be overloaded through the day trying to get everything done. So, I am going to try a...

pandaeyes if you maintain a website I assume you upload files and pictures to it and so you must remember that all upload AND download is included in the allowance you pay for. When we have our dongles online, we turn of windows update because that eats up so much of...

pandaeyes I think he wanted a dutiful wife then. MY father was also older than my mother but only 10 years and his outlook on life and family was terribly old fashioned. It meant that as children we were brought up in much the way other children's parents had been...

pandaeyes I guess she never would have though if she didnt later on in life ,knowing all that the situation had brought. I think a lot of us would find our words fell on unheeding ears. Its life I suppose to want to make your own mistakes and maybe to live with the...

I well remember how exhausting it was to be at home with my kids from the time that they were born. There is not enough time in the day when your kids are very small. We must clean them up whenever they need changing,(possibly 6...

pandaeyes You are right ,it definitely helps if we are happy. I remember at school when I changed to the new school,we all had new uniform and things and no one singled me out for ridicule for a whole term because I fitted right in,in every other way. Life flew by and...

pandaeyes I had much the same experience with the homeschooling. I did all the housework and most of the garden work. Hubby gets home quite late and so I would have all the food preparation and the children to taxi to clubs plus working on what we were going to be...

pandaeyes we sometimes debate the year of the film or TV series and it is a long wait to reach the very last page of the credits when the year is displayed. It can be very surprising if it is earlier or later than you imagined though.

pandaeyes I find it quite disappointing when they have cut the credits off. All that time thinking ,I will find out the name of that actor at the end and then there is no chance to do so after all.

I used to think hip hop and rap were awful. Too loud,too shouty and not at all musical but over the last few years I have changed my mind. Now I keep an open mind when I know that they are going to play on the radio and oft...

musical genres

rap

pandaeyes Is it the style of the lyrics you don't like or the type of rhythm or the music they have alongside? I find the shoutier ones are quite aggressive sounding and some of them sound like gang type chants but the well worded ,cleverly timed ones are okay.

pandaeyes mine is pay as you go. Hubby has a contract with his and my student children's phones on it . Our land line is useful though for my freelancing work as it doesn't rely on charging up or running out of credit or the signal dropping out depending on the...

pandaeyes Yes I am like that too. I have changed my mind a lot about rap in particular because I used to put the whole thing in the 'awful' category, in my head but now I have heard a lot of rap and find that there are some excellent performers but you will always...
