100 things in 100 days - number 67

67. I freak out when people don't answer the phone, or alarms go off unattended.

Want to see me flinch? Want to see me slowly go insane? Just let a phone go unanswered in my presence. Or let an alarm clock or timer go on uninterrupted. Continuous crying baby - just as bad. I have no explanation for why this is an issue with me. I can be downstairs on the computer and the timer is going off upstairs, but Darlene is oblivious to it and I have to race up there to turn it off. Sometimes I wonder if she does it on purpose.....

I'm thinking some kind of Pavlov's dog test/theory/something. Are you exercising enough to the point where Darlene would make you race across the house? hmmm she appears to be a lovely woman but if she is like me.....actions are deceptive. OOPS? Might have let the cat out of the bag. Sorry Darlene. Never mind Karl, maybe you are just hearing things.

How about a dog that never stops barking.....right now it is quiet outside, still early I guess. We plan on doing yardwork today...so two doors down will be arf arf arf....arf arf arf....non stop. Hey, I could write an episode for Seinfeld......dang......too late.

Ya.....we have thought about that. Today wasnt too bad....we got the front yard done.....and then decided it was time to have a cold one in the back yard.....the little yapper heard us.......and away he went. We will see what happens because we saw a neighbor from across the alley put his 2 cents in, and guess what, the woman took the dog inside.
