Oh, my! This man is sooo clueless about 'personal space' and not touching people he does not know. He's lucky no one punched him or reacted in another negatively physical way with him. Had it been me I would have made a big stink. One has to wonder what was this guy's problem since he definitely felt it was okay to keep touching that man...

I remember when the first Home Alone movie came out and Kevin had rigged up all sorts of boobie traps and thinking that these traps could easily kill someone. I didn't find it funny at all. Took the shine off the movie for me. The part with all of the broken Christmas ornaments on the floor and the villains stepping on them in bare feet... wth? Apparently I gave a problem suspending belief with movies like this one.

My Nana was born at Bowmore on the island of Islay, an Hebrides Island offshore of Scotland. Her parents had a hotel/inn near the water's edge. The comment about the house not having square walls is a carry over from the superstition that the Devil cannot hide in a building with rounded walls. Islay has round churches because of this belief.

Seriously? There have been times in the past when I have made disparaging comments about some of your articles. Sorry, but I need to put this one in the bin, too.

Oh! I am so happy this has a happy ending! Thank you to all of the folks who tried to help rescue this cat! This is such a happy ending!!!!!!11111

Just walk away from an establishment that wants to use and abuse you just because they can. Find a little 'mom and pop' restaurant that will treat you right while you are trying to get yourself through school. You won't regret it.

I've never met a cat that didn't like catnip. Not liking the 'nip seems a bit unnatural to me. The cats seem to get so much enjoyment from it. I love seeing them playing and having a good time and then crashing and burning and having a very long nap.

Did the keepers put any treats or 'nip in the wrapped packages? I hope so. It would be a shame if the cats went to all that trouble to open them and then find them empty.

My grandparents came over here from Scotland so my home was filled with 'crackers' and plum pudding with coins wrapped in wax paper baked into it and then lit on fire before being served.

Candied fruits, rinds, currants, raisins, cranberries, citrus peels, etc., YUCK! Thanks but no thanks.

I blew up the photo to get a better look at the decorations and picked the left house because the purple pills had a hard edge to them instead of a softer round finish. Other than that I wouldn't have known which house was the deadly one.

That's some cookie! I wonder if any of it even got eaten? It would be a shame if it was just thrown away.
