I have a culinary friend who always makes black eyed peas for New Year's Day but I've never heard of leaving out dried ones. What's that about?

Don't know, really. My first DH was German and Polish. He just said to put black-eyed peas on the doorstep on NYE for good luck for the coming year. Course, he could also have been pulling my leg, he was a bit of a prankster. I never knew when or whether to take him seriously.

Wife and I lived in an apartment. Their limit on dog size was 25 lbs. I asked if they’d make an exception AFTER she met the dog. She reluctantly agreed and we made sure to impress her when she met Cheyenne. She was border collie, kelpie, blue heeler mix. I didn’t have her on a leash. (She was very reluctant about that). We “interviewed” outside. We made sure to put her through her obedience paces. When she invited us inside, I told the dog to ‘load up’. She ran the 100 yards to my pickup and jumped through the drivers window. Sat in the seat and looked over the steering wheel at us.

Right then and there she said ‘I was on the fence, but that does it. I’ve NEVER seen a dog that behaves like that. I’ll allow it. Please don’t make me regret it.’

I paid 450 bucks pet deposit. I was the first they said that got all my security and pet deposit back when we left. The year we were there, people would come watch her get put to ‘work’ for a couple hours every night. If we didn’t come out, there were people knocking asking if Cheyenne was ok.

I miss those simple times

When my little Shih-Tzu became a show-ring has-been, I lived in a semi-rural area where the houses were about 1,000 yards apart (sprawl at it's best!) Two "doors" up, our neighbors had a little Westie. Whenever Chu got out, which was pretty frequently because no one EVER minded the doors, back then, she would beeline it to Isaac's house (quite a ways when your legs are only four inches long) and wait on the back deck until he came out to play. She and Isaac would play until the old fellow was worn out, whereupon they would both get a treat before he took a nap and she wandered back home. I only found out about it when Isaac's "Mom" called to ask if Chu was okay. Apparently she'd missed their play date for a few days and Isaac was lonely. She said he waited by the door every morning, whining for his buddy. After that, we made "playdates" for the dogs. They got their play time and I made a new friend.
Chu wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, but she knew how to make and keep a friend. I guess we can all learn from that!

I'd be satisfied to simply understand myself.
