The last compartment in the back of the silverware caddy is also a good place to put your scrubber sponge for cleaning. The sponges can get really smelly and the chemicals in dishwashing liquid are strong. I find running the sponge through the dishwasher every other cycle lengthens the life of the sponge and leaves me less worried I'm just adding germiness to my dishes rather than cleaning them away.
'Vacation on Arrakis, they said. Take in the local wildlife, they said. If I survive this planet, I've got to get some new friends!... right after I kill the old ones.'
What bothers me about this list, is that other than showering every day (I make an exception for summer), I'd make a pretty good date for this guy. But guys with long lists of turn offs... are turn offs.
It's the middle of the night, you wake up with a full bladder and stumble to the bathroom, where you forget to check if the lid is up or down. Probably as close as you're ever going to get to sitting on Harrison Ford's face.
Likewise, small dogs are oblivious to their diminutive size. They just want to be loved and cared for and to do their doggy best, and why should size matter?
For the same reason that coating sheep is hard on the animals. Underneath those long stapled coats are skinny animals struggling to regulate their body temperatures.
Rabbits in the wild would normally go underground to escape heat; they shed and groom themselves to get rid of their winter coats. Angora are a domesticated variety from Turkey with coats similar to cashmere. Their coats are shorn or plucked every three or four months. If not, the hair just keeps growing. Rabbits are natural self-groomers and they ingest their fur just like a cat. They can't cough or vomit up those hairballs, so they have to pass them through through their digestive tracts. Breeders compensate the rabbits with a high fiber diet to help pass the hair. If the heat doesn't kill them (we'll assume these rabbits are always in air-conditioned rooms), a blocked intestinal tract might.
Here that kind of gradient refers to 'The Front Range' (of the Rocky Mountains). You'll find thousands of people, while the roads are snow-free, happily muscling their way up those inclines on their bikes. Feel the burn!
How does Ariel know the dog was having a nightmare? My four-year-old Schnauzer was behaving the same way yesterday while he snoozed. I thought he's probably dreaming of some dog passing his house and he's defending his turf even in his sleep, by giving that dream intruder a good sublingual woofing at. When he's awake, woofing at passers-by is some the best parts of his day. Why would that change with age?
Most of those don't bother me, just oversights by the restaurant and if there are too many of them, we take our business elsewhere and tell management why on the way out the door.
I once considered stabbing a busboy while sitting in a comedy club, after he zoomed by our table in the middle of the show, snapped up my half-drunk cola (cola only) and kept running on down the aisle, stacking the glasses inside each other on the tray. Even if I could have caught him in time, the cola was gone (along with my sense of humor) and I'd have missed several minutes of the show trying to get that vastly overpriced drink replaced. All the time he's grabbing drinks off people's tables, he had this little smile on his face, like he'd made a game of it and was enjoying himself at our expense. I warned the waitress the next time we went to a show there I'd sacrifice my good time to kill the busboy who snatched my drink off the table without permission. I don't think we saw a busboy all night and beyond the two-drink-minimum, the waitress left us alone too. I recall it was a fine evening.
For the more outdoorsy types, a slide through the potty of a travel trailer, an hour in the 'sensory deprivation' black tank, then you get flushed out at the 'dump site' using a turbo hose.
Actually, we installed three Japanese-made toilets last year, Toto 'Drakes'. They are in every way superior toilets. We added only soft 'quiet close' toilet seats; there were a lot of other possible bells and whistles.
If Peter Sellers was reincarnated as a cat... 'Careful, monsieur, with me. Do not tangle with me. I'm a trained expert in karate. My (paws) are lethal weapons. Now where did that Cato get off to?'

We more casual cyclists would like a lift though.
