Congrats to the USA Ladies' Hockey Team on their Gold Medal. They defeated Canada after a full game, an overtime, a shootout, and an extra point situation!!!

TOD:
As a child, the first pet we got was a kitten named Romeo. He came from one of our neighbors who had a litter of kittens and there were two tabbys that looked alike so they named them Romeo and Juliet.
As an adult, my husband and I got two kittens and named them Bill and Ted. (It was around the time the movie came out.) When we divorced, I got Bill and he got Ted. Bill and Ted fought constantly so it was best to split them up.
I got my very first dog at the age of 45. Now I groom dogs part time and people think I'm a dog expert and always ask for advice that they should be asking their vet. When I tell them, "I'm really a cat person," they look at me like I'm crazy.

Great stories.

HuffPost is reporting about a new device, the RubGrub, which is a combination vibrator and pizza order service.

It was a very nice breakfast. On my way out I saw the elevator crew. They said they were hoping to finish tomorrow but it would be a couple of more days because one of them had been out sick.

Fingers crossed it is not longer than that. Have they been working on the weekends?

Leaving soon to drive Kristi and Nathan down to JFK for their flight to Savannah. They're taking a five-day vacation there, first time for both. It's a place we've all wanted to see, and I look forward to their full reports.

Photos of Savannah are lovely.

I grew up with a beautiful Shetland Shepherd mix named Rocky (after rocky road ice cream). I got him when I was about four. He was a wonderful dog, a real friend. He was with us until shortly before I went to college.

You were lucky to have a good childhood dog.

Great cat stories. People watching me with dogs are always shocked when I tell them I am really a cat person. Obviously we love them both.

You mean, like I would have been, only seething rather than loud?

With the other lawyer listening in I think DR Vixmom staying "calm" was best.

FJL · « **Reply #50 on:** February 22, 2018, 10:37:53 AM »

I've learned recently (past ten years) that when someone behaves dishonestly, even fraudulently, but does it slicky and quietly, and their victim gets angry at them and maybe even loud and upset, "everybody" just assumes the angry person is the villain, and the smooth slick liar is being wronged

Go figure!

But of course, in the vixmom meeting, sounds like the hyperbolic lying lawyer was the aggressor.

bk · « **Reply #51 on:** February 22, 2018, 10:44:03 AM »

I would have stayed calm and given a warning that loud was coming. I might have given two warnings. And then: LOUD.

bk · « **Reply #52 on:** February 22, 2018, 10:44:17 AM »

LOUD.

Jane · « **Reply #53 on:** February 22, 2018, 10:47:11 AM »

We had a good number of pets growing up. I can't recall a single one having a happy ending

The first that I can remember were the two Siamese cats my mother brought home, a sister & brother. The girl was a sweet affectionate little thing, the boy had a leave me alone attitude.

One day my mother said the girl was not well and she had to return the cat where it came from. I loved that cat and years later was told the truth she was very ill and had to be euthanized.

The boy remained difficult. One day while I was petting him he suddenly scratched me, a big scratch down my stomach. I remember hiding that from my parents so they wouldn't get rid of him. He was returned to wherever he came from anyway.

Obviously he was trying to put the blame on her when he was his fault.

My brother Mike (R) and me (L) and our dog Spooky (center). He had been our father's dog and so we joined him in the family. He lived about four more years after this photo - then we got another dog, a red spaniel...which we named Spooky 2.

DR vixmom, you showed admirable restraint. I would be on this harpy until he was rubble and publicly shamed.

That lousy excuse for a human being is overdue for a mighty fall. How can this behavior have gone on up to now without a major takedown? He didn’t just start being this way.

It's about an immature, incompetent ass trying to protect his territory from being found out. I'd be on him until he's unemployed.

He's senior partner of his own firm

First pet I remember was a longhaired tuxedo grey cat name Bootsie. My mother used to wash him in the kitchen sink every Saturday night and then he would sit on a towel on the kitchen table while she blew him dry with a hair dryer
