Out of the Frying Pan, Into the Fire

[devilwrites]

I keep telling people that if they ever want to vacation in Florida, to go during the summer months. They give me a look like I'm crazy. Well, I am, but not in this case. In this case, the winter months are considered "high season" because all of the snowbirds mosey down to FL for the winter. Sure, it's cooler, but it's crowded as hell. Summer's

Gah! You said the names of the evil places! ;-) Okay, the places themselves aren't so evil, just, y'know...let's not go there. *grin*

Naples is pretty nice, isn't it? My recollection of that town--what little I saw of it the one time I went there--was that the houses were really, really nice.

Oddly enough, though, my allergies didn't bother me anywhere near as much in Florida as they tend to in other places.

My allergies are worse up here in TN than they were there, but I still took my Claritin every day, because the first morning, I had a sinus headache that threatened to turn into a migraine. I kicked its ass. ;)

Awesome. :-)

Boleslawiec Pottery: Dinnerware, linens and serving dishes. Very pretty patterns and nice variety. (What the hell does this have to do with anything, other than the word "pretty" in my original comment?)

Sorry, this amused me and I had to share. :-)

I always wondered how those ads were generated...

[chicklitter]

Same here. It just clicked earlier when I noticed all of that. Now there are six Labradoodle ads on the sidebar. HA!

Actually poodles are allergy friendly, too, which is where the Labradoodles get it - poodles actually have hair instead of fur (hair grows consistently and doesn't produce dander the way a seasonal fur coat does). Labradoodles combine a lab's friendliness with a poodle's hypo-allergenic qualities, in theory... of course, the one that lived next door in Maine was a pain in the neck, but that could just be because his owners weren't too great on the training end. He combined a lab's tendency to get into everything with a poodle's size and long-legged stature... talk about a nightmare... And now I'm rambling to avoid taking a shower and getting to work, so I'll go. :)

I had no idea poodles were allergy friendly. Good to know, even though I'm not a big fan of them. I much prefer Labradors. *grin*
