RULES FOR NON-PET OWNERS WHO VISIT AND LIKE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT OUR PETS:
1. They live here. You don't.
2. If you don't want their hair on your clothes, stay off the furniture. (That's why they call it "fur"niture.)
3. I like my pets a lot better than I like most people.
4. To you, it's an animal. To me, he/she is an adopted son/daughter who is short, hairy, walks on all fours and doesn't speak clearly.
5. Dogs and cats are better than kids:
A) They eat less, don't ask for money all the time, are easier to train, usually come when called, never drive your car, don't hang out with drug-using friends;
B) They don't smoke or drink, I don't worry about having to buy the latest fashions, they don't wear your clothes, and don't need a gazillion dollars for college.
C) And if they get pregnant, you can sell the children.

Someone is still stealing my mail. Only the CD-sized parcels (as far as I know) but I'm really pissed off. I'm now down a Fastcrew album and the new Christchurch The Music double. I put a notice up in the hall saying if it continues I'll involve the police. But what is more likely, is I'll just get parcels that I know are coming sent to Deb's address.
Grrr! I wants my albums! I'm too poor to buy music so I rely on radio-station winnings.

That sucks about the cd's. Are you sure they've been sent yet? Hopefully it's a slow radio station rather than anything else!
Posted by: Emba at May 20, 2005 05:44 PMChecked with the radio station, and doubt if it's the postie because I see other packages come through sometimes. I think someone is just picking out CD-sized packages with Auckland return addresses.
I have put a note up in the hallway saying that whoever is doing it, stop it, or I'll involve the police. Hope that empty threat works...
