There was something once (can't find it now, aarrghh) about some people being Reducers and others being Enhancers. I think the reducers find life already too stimulating even in its normal state and tend toward non-risky behavior. The enhancers needed that adrenaline jolt just to make them feel "alive." I think that whole bunch who want to go 185 ft. off the ground for dinner fit into the latter category.TexasTrailerParkTrashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299289643138589897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797378007983742355.post-9712242991067361692016-06-14T12:48:31.550-05:002016-06-14T12:48:31.550-05:00Oh!

As soon as I wrote this post, Tony got out of my eyesight for seconds and peed on my husband's side of the bed. Lola, as a puppy, peed on his pillow ... twice. We think they are making a statement. <br /><br />We think that because my husband is not home during the day, Lola and Tony think he is "the dog who is not allowed in the house" and is lower on the totem pole than they are.Cheryl Ursinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922520656253488465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797378007983742355.post-69045530836364765622016-06-14T12:42:34.270-05:002016-06-14T12:42:34.270-05:00Wow, that is cool!

I look at the caption contest every week and every week I draw an absolute blank.<br /><br />I totally do not get the appeal of risk-taking or of things that seem risky, like roller coasters, or of horror movies .... Do they do these things because it feels so good when they stop? It's the only think I can figure. :o)Cheryl Ursinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04922520656253488465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1797378007983742355.post-89719066395527569742016-06-13T17:33:35.890-05:002016-06-13T17:33:35.890-05:00Hmm...I haven't peed on the welcome mat yet, a...Hmm...I haven't peed on the welcome mat yet, although I wouldn't entirely rule out that possibility due to pelvic floor insufficiency from giving birth to two almost nine pound babies. One of them breech.<br /><br />I'm not a risk taker either. Risky things make me nervous. My son posted this on Facebook about Dinner in the Sky--where they hoist a group of people aloft and cook dinner for them. Made me queasy just to watch it. <br /><br />https://www.facebook.com/intheskydinner/<br /><br />I guess my super power is writing cartoon captions. I've been a finalist in The New Yorker cartoon caption contest twice now. Always the bridesmaid. I keep trying, though!<br />TexasTrailerParkTrashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02299289643138589897noreply@blogger.com
