… You’re talking to a twenty-something with two kids of her own, mention Phyllis Diller in passing, and get this question: “Is she someone who works in another department?”
The first one of you who responds with “Phyllis who?” will get a really nasty look from me.
If training has been consistent and gentle, a nine month puppy should be pretty thoroughly housebroken. Some dogs do take a little longer than others, though, so don’t despair yet. Give a gander at Learn2 Housebreak your puppy. I just glanced through it, and while much of it probably doesn’t apply to your nine-month old…

Last night was a flurry of activty. Feed the cats, clean and refresh the water bowls, clean the litter boxes, grab dinner, pack for New Year’s Eve, all while trying to claim some quality net time. Something had to give, and I didn’t get to check up on as many diaries nor leave as many…
Welcome to my Thursday. I’ve been busy helping visiting researchers do a prevalence study. It’s been a lot of time and not much work. The data collection is going smoothly. Too smoothly. I guess planning is everything, but I’ve been standing around doing little. Once we got things set up and going, I largely became…
The cats continue to laze about, shifting only to find more comfortable positions. Kitten discovered the unfolded laundry at the top of the stairs, where all the heat rises to. Kitten heaven was thus defined. Meanwhile, the snow continues to fall, and the forecasters are still saying up to 24 inches will have fallen before…
Warrior Princess is healing well from the surgery, but late last night The Prof noticed signs of erosion on her left eye. I scheduled a follow-up visit for this afternoon. Out with some of the old meds, in with a new one, and another visit scheduled Monday. I will not let this poor cat lose…
Tech Man points out: Phyllis Diller was old when we were young! She was in movies with Bob Hope in the ’40s. "I can still hear her cackle," he says.
Even you aren’t THAT old.
I had to explain Phyllis Diller to my kids a few years ago. The description of "A comedian/actress who styled her hair with an egg beater" and showing her profile on imdb gave them a better idea. Fortunately they remembered her from when she was on 7th Heaven, so that was that.
Of course then I had to explain to them what an egg beater was.

P.S. The banner about Picard/Riker under your entry reminds me. I’m sure you’ve heard about the upcoming Star Trek movie, about the classic Trek characters when they were young. Did you know Karl Urban (Eomer in LOTR) is playing McCoy? I’ll be curious to hear a U.S. southern accent come out of his mouth. (I’m also hoping there will be opportunities in the plot for him to take off his shirt.)
I love Phyllis Diller, she is an icon. Someone actually said "Is she someone who works in another department?"? How funny, guess I’m old to. Hugs, Richard
Guess I’ve got the dirty look from you then!
LOL!! I had a moment like that in a music store, I asked for a CD from the Commodores. The girl looked at me like I was from outter space then asked the manager who indicated that the CD could be found in the "archives room". Neither of them realized that the Red Hot Chili Peppers did a remake of "Love Roller Coaster". Sad, very sad.
This cracked me up…thanks for the chuckle. Have a great day!
Thanks for reminding me how old I am. Phyllis Diller was one of my favorite comedians right along with Bill Cosby and Moms Mabley. Have a wonderful day and remember to share a smile with someone who needs one.
