    Maybe I'm way off, but I imagine these are more for collectors than listeners.

    Birthday Traditions Past and Present

    I had one when I turned nine. It was a lot of fun. My friends from my old school came. :)

    Birthday Traditions Past and Present

    What's worse than an e-card? An e-card sender who sends a bunch of subsequent e-mails asking, "Why haven't you read the cute e-card I sent?" We never had adults (besides the mom) at kids' birthday parties, either.

    What Games Amuse you

    My father and I played the card game Casino while my mother was in the hospital/rehab center. It's a fun game that involves taking tricks.

    Who Does Without TV?

    I never got around to getting a digital antenna and have been without TV for a month. I watch DVDs and have started getting books on CD from the library. (You can also download audio books.) How do you get along without TV?

    A Very Important Point They're bumps, not humps. My sister called them humps once, and her husband backed up the car to show her the sign. lol

    They eat your grass clippings, too. :)

    Yeah, my parents have speed bumps almost in front of their house, about 40 feet from the stop sign. It doesn't slow down the people who really do want to go fast. And yes, the cars go "bump" every time they go by. My parents' former neighbors wanted the bumps, and complained about every nitpicky...

    I don't know whether the person I talked to was a resident of that area or not. She said she helped established the dog park where we were. But I'm not a resident of that area of the proposed dog park, and didn't want to help force it on people who do live around there. Mostly, I didn't like her...

    Where were you on July 20, 1969?

    I was an infant at the time, so of course I have no memory of the event. But my father said that one of his teachers once told him that people would never be able to get to the moon.

    It depends on the business or renovation. Does it fit in with the neighborhood? Will it disturb a reasonable person living nearby? Will it create a lot of traffic? Will it create jobs and bring in revenues? And most importantly, will property owners' right be preserved? Several years ago...

    In some neighborhoods, yes, you have to ask permission to paint your house a different color. My parents live in that general area, and that's the kind of place it is: way out in the suburbs where people go to avoid being disturbed. Want to put in a K-mart in such a place? Get ready to fight...

    They bought property that wasn't near a dog park, and I can see how dogs barking and baying at 6 a.m. (or any other time) might disturb some people. As I see it, it's the convenience of dog owners vs. the interests of people who want to enjoy their property.

    This morning at the dog park, someone had a petition to have another dog park built where the homeowners around it didn't want one. "They live in this bubble and they don't want it disturbed," she said self-righteously. "We have to go out-of-district to go to a dog park." So, their convenience...

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    It's "handkerchief" in case anyone wants to do a search. (Or start collecting them.) :)

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    By everyday life, I mean going to work or school, paying bills, cleaning the house, running errands, working out, etc. Hobbies and collections shouldn't interfere with a job, relationships, health, ability to pay bills and put away money for retirement, or the ability of paramedics to help if...

    When is enough ENOUGH?

    A hobby should be a break from everyday life. It's too much when it starts taking over your life or becomes a substitute for life. I agree with Zemke Fan about putting a limit on a hobby: a narrow range, space limit, dollar limit, or hour-per-week limit.

    "Here's looking at you, kid" and what might get you slapped

    I think it's a good idea to avoid saying something that you wouldn't want said back to you.

    As I understand it, you're also entitled to any fruit on your side of the fence. The owner of the tree would have to ask permission or trespass to pick the fruit.
