Orange to boot.

I'm so old I remember the nuttiness that surrounded new years 1999. Most everyone was freaking out because we were going into 2000 and good Lord, were the computers gonna flip? Turns out, all is well. Imagine that

Y2K proofing stuff though must have been a pain.

I have at least one computer that isn't Y2K compliant.

Ah, Y2K. The world was definitely going back to the Stone Age. I thought that was sort of idiotic. What was a computer going to do, reset itself to 1900 instead of 2000, realize it didn't exist, and self-implode? So I chose that day to fly back to Korea from NY.

The flight was blissful. There were so few people on that plane (3-4-3 seat configuration), whole row sections were empty. I sat at a window when I was awake, and in a middle section to sleep.

We had just started using new computers at work (nights).
Everyone was worried about what would happen if they crashed.
I pointed out that they crashed every couple days anyway so I wasn't sure what the problem was.

I told everyone around Y2K that "I want a place in the country, off the grid, free flowing well, 2 acre garden and livestock."
"Not for Y2K, I just always wanted that."

Me too. And now, the young body and strength to be able to manage it.

I baited you, didn't I? Well, dogs have a highly developed sense of smell, we all know that. And sometimes they get into things they shouldn't. But spanking isn't the answer, and nor is yelling. And you can't always keep everything up out of reach. So, repellants can work well. Does your puppy chew your slippers or your tennis shoes? How about furniture legs, oh no! Or just about anything else you don't want him to chew. Put a little dab of Vicks on it and watch him decide that, gag, THAT's no longer a yummy chew toy! The best use I ever found for it was a disabled lady's oxygen line! A little dab every foot or so cured him forever.

So no, this doesn't help with basic obedience, but it can help with a common behavior problem.

There's a reason my cooking utensils are metal end-to-end. Vicks probably wouldn't seep into them but it might change the flavor of whatever I'm cooking.

This is a little different so bare with me.
Take 9 min and some Kleenex and watch the music video that is worth the 50 year wait. IMHO

Lovely find. Thank you for sharing.
