Many Thanks

A good shopper can play any role. Its all role playing just review your story advance and expect the unexpected.

I always refer to my parents dog as my dog. The first time I did it, I pretended I had my own dog and gave him the name of my beloved cat who had passed away a few years ago. Every time the woman said "Oscar will really like it here" it threw me off!

I had a shop that was an in-home estimate for invisible fence without a dog aroundsmiling smiley

I'd like to get a visible fence to keep the darn PITBULL who lives nearby OUT of our yard!
The owner NEVER keeps his dog, EVER on a leash or even a collar! Spooky!

I would like to get an invisible fence to stop every bleeping dog in my neighborhood from relieving their bladders on my landscape.

I would also like to get an invisible fence to stop door to door salesmen. I am not changing my electrical supplier, I have my own religion, love my vacuum and no one is going to beat the price that U-Verse gives me for phone, internet and cable. And I already get one newspaper delivered.

@Aime - I know what you mean, its gross. Whats even more disgusting it is not the dog's fault - its the owners who don't bother with a baggie for poo!

Almost the same here only it's Jehovah's witnesses, home improvement companies, landscaping companies and U-Versesmiling smiley They drive me flipping nuts! The ones that piss me off the most, and hear about it, are the ones that ring the doorbell only to then start urgently knocking on the storm door. Those a-holes get an earful. It is so rude because if I'm home I'm either working in the office and have to run up the stairs or I'm in the kitchen and have to drop everything thinking it's something urgent. I always wish they would show up during the morning watering when I have a hose in my handwinking smiley

My personal favorites are the ones that I open the wood door and the glass door still stays shut and I hold my hand on the handle as they attempt to open it to "talk to me". You don't need to open my door to talk to me. Plus I have pets that might attempt to get out the door with it being open like that.

Some of these people are way too aggressive. I appreciate the ones who ring the bell and actually step back off the porch. It provides enough distance so they don't come off as threatening and still allows us to hear each other just fine.

The one who came from the electric company was just the worst. She stormed off in a huff when I said I was not interested in changing and yelled "THANKS FOR NOTHING" after putting her hand hard on my front door. Even the older lady who lives two houses down who I have never heard "damn" come out of her mouth had a few words for that one.

There are some people that should not work with the public.

I also like the guys who sell beef out of their trucks and "just finished their run and boy do they have some great deals for you". I tell them I'm a Vegan. You have to say Vegan. Vegetarian means chicken and they had chicken on the truck. :-)

Actually vegetarian means no meat at all thought some people will claim to be vegetarians and still eat fish and seafood. Vegan means no animal products of any kind, including butter, milk and eggs. Funny they would still offer the chicken. If they are in the food biz they should know the difference.

Like I would buy any sort of meat/fish/chicken off a truck that just happened to have extras to begin with. What I need to do actually is order from Omaha Steaks when its a great deal and share the order with my cousin 50/50 which makes it totally worthwhile. Add to "mommy do list" today......

We have gone from dog boarding shops to invisible fence and now to steaks, lol! Since we are this far off topic anyway, how are those steaks? I actually have two retails stores near.

Ha ha. They are very good; the best is to find a deal that has free shipping (our retail store went out several years ago). But if they have a deal such as the 4 steaks, box of burgers, etc it can really be worthwhile, especially if you split with a friend or family member. I wouldn't highly recommend their deserts they have though, just as easy to get from a local bakery. But the meat is delicious.

Thanks for the 411. So far all I've bought there are some grilling sauces. They are a brand available at other stores, but that's the only place I've found a couple of the flavors like a blackberry chipotlesmiling smiley

Hey Lisa - even MORE off topic but we went to Outback tonight and they had a Blackberry Sangria cocktail and I couldn't help but think of you and the chipotle. FWIW - my husband got it and I had a sip - tasty tasty!

I was going to do one of these, but my dog marched into the room, threw off his dark glasses, and said, "Nope, not going to do it. Last time I wore my dark glasses and went on that vet shop, they poked me in the rear! They fed me treats, then WHAMMO! Nope."

Rich - That's probably exactly what the poor dog was thinking! LOL
