I have a mixed breed dog who is nearly five. His hair doesn't ever seem to stop growing, and he doesn't really shed. When he gets wet, his fur gets frizzy, and is a little wavy all the time. The problem is, he gets mats and...

Do you 'talk' with your hands?

seamonkey @seamonkey (1976) • Ireland 11 Apr 07

Are you a 'place dropper'?

seamonkey @seamonkey (1976) • Ireland 9 Apr 07

We have all heard of name droppers, so I think you get the idea of what I mean: someone who will drop a place name to impress the audience. I recently had cousins visiting and my husband asked if this was their first trip...

seamonkey @seamonkey (1976) • Ireland 9 Apr 07

seamonkey @seamonkey (1976) • Ireland 27 Mar 07

My husband showed up a couple of hours early yesterday because he had gotten hurt at work. It was really weird having him land in the middle of our normal routine. He wouldn't normally be here when I'm doing the dinner or the...
