WE WONDER IF YOU WONDER
Woof, Kids!
Today, Moolie and I are just being curious and wondering about things...such as that tree in the snap above. It is gorgeous, but we have no idea what it is...they are all OV-AH The Palm Beaches. We just wonder what it is called. And...
We wonder if we will see, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, on the big screen or just hold off and get it on Netflix in a few months. Read the book so long ago, am sort of luke- warm on the HP thing. Besides, we know how it all wraps up, so the big...whatever.
We wonder why we keep putting crappy, sappy and truly bad movies like, Confessions of a Shopaholic, in our Netflix queue. The bigger question here is why did Moolie read the dumb book and THEN put in the queue and is now admitting it to you guys? I know, I know, you don't even have to say it!
We wonder why there is so much hate, greed and selfishness in this country. How did it happen?
We wonder why self-important strangers and semi-strangers feel compelled, as though they have a right, to inject their unwanted comments into your world.
We wonder how we control ourselves when they do this.
We wonder why some people, like the server at Cheeburger-Cheeburger at City Place, can have such positive attitudes, even on a busy Saturday when the joint is filled with rowdy and totally unsupervised and, seemingly, spoiled kids. We wonder if showed her ample appreciation...we tried.
We wonder why some mothers and fathers allow their kids to run wild in public places with complete disregard for others sharing the planet...and why do these same parents with strollers seem to be such bitches with a sense of entitlement. Feel sorry for the kids...here's hoping they grow up to be happier and more considerate people than their people.
We wonder why some people don't say thank you when you hold the elevator door for them. Well, they don't say it, period, for anything.
We wonder why so many people now say, "no problem", instead of "you're welcome". When did you are welcome take flight from our vocabulary?
We wonder why we are the ones first saying thank you to store personnel. Um, shouldn't they say thank you to us for being a customer and then we say thank you to them for assisting us and we all say you are welcome to each other?
We wonder why some people don't know the difference between you're and your and their and there.
We wonder when manners went out of style and if parents today even try to teach them to their kids.
We wonder why some people have well-behaved mutts and pups and others have wild and crazy ones. Same as the kid situation we mentioned above, we suppose.
We wonder why, in this strained economy, people don't act as though they appreciate you as a customer, and...oh, yeah, the money you spend with 'em. Hm.
We wonder why some people feel it is okay to have their dog off-leash on city streets and in city parks, and fail to control them.
We wonder if people from this country will ever stop being the ugly American and realize that visiting other countries, even other states, is not like being at home and stop expecting it to be like home. If you want home, stay home, we think. It is idiotic. Oh, and PLEASE, have some manners and regard for others in the world.
We wonder why when you meet some people in your building you want to know more about them because they seem truly fascinating and others you just hope to always avoid because they are...not.
We wonder if other people find bliss in the most simple and unexpected ways. We do.
We wonder if arrogant and rude people realize that other people recognize their bad attitudes and arrogance, but don't call them out as being creeps. It isn't worth it.
We wonder if truly nice people know how much they are appreciated.
We wonder if we are the only ones who love Hostess cupcakes and milk on occasion.
We wonder what will happen when people grow weary of cell phone texting, MySpace, Twitter and Facebook and start talking, for real, again. Wait, think this phenom is already showing signs of cracking.
We wonder if people really understand the word satirical, blog and tongue-in-cheek.
We wonder how we can be more thankful and grateful for savvy people who understand, read and appreciate all things satirical, blogging and tongue-in-cheek.
We wonder if other people wonder about things like we do.
We just wonder.
Do you?
Woof.
Bark at me!
We wonder the same thing too Diva! Sure does make you wish it was 1940 again...
When did simple manners go out of style...
Wish we were neighbors again...kinda reminds us of the old All in the Family Song..."Those were the Days"

Hey, Frosty Paws, Teddy...
Yeah, you just have to stop and reflect sometimes. Huh?
Well, we weren't really around in the 40's, but we do love the movies from then. Oh, and some of the clothes. Actually, I think the 30's had better clothes, come to think of it.
Yep, think it would be nice if we could pull some of the considerate behavior from years gone by and meld it with all the rights, privileges and posit ivies of today. Perfect. Wait, we prefer the perfect storm of imperfection.
Um, just wish people could be nicer. Wish in one hand, I suppose.
Teddy, have a howling weekend and we too wish we could be neighbors again!!!

Oh YES! My little diva friend. We do wonder such things....often. One of the worst is that strange sense of entitlement that so man display. Like pulling onto a road without so much as a glance to see if anyone might be coming down the road. Terrible state of things, just terrible. But hang in there Diva, my darling, we are not alone, just more quiet.
Well, maybe not the puppies......

First, the Diva Girl, Reggie, just adores some virtual cuddles!! So, thank you Kitty and AlaCher Cavaliers, you the DAWGS PAWS!!
Yes, we abhor rudeness and entitled peeps. The worst.
Ah, the old pulling into traffic as though the only one out there. Better yet? Waving someone into the traffic flow in front of you...you know, so they won't have to sit and wait for hours...THEN...no wave of thanks...ARGH!!!
Where did the kindness of the everyday world go?
Random acts of kindness?
Well, kids...go get your growl on...wait, you are Cavi's...go get your fluffy tail wag on!!!!

Hey Diva. It is no wonder you are the all amazing Diva of the critter set. We wonder about all of the items you are wondering about also. My Mommy(sometimes) is too nice. She says she had the greatest teacher of all things related to manners and being nice. She knows two other girl-peeps who had the same teacher.
Well, if the world wants to be mean and nasty, we will let them. We will just keep on being who we are (which is a pretty neat way to be).
Moolie and Gaz are simply the greatest people I know. And they have taught you very well. Their teachings is what makes you the very special Diva of us all.
A bit of excitment in my backyard, a BIG, and I do mean BIG, 'possum just went strolling across the yard. I guess it was looking for the relocated baby. Mommy went out to see where it went, and sure 'nough, it went under the building.
Keep up all your good work. You are the absolutely bestest.
High paws and nubbin' wags to ya.
Bitsy
P.S. The Bainbridges are terrific.

Bitsy,
Wow, big morning 'round your dog-digs, huh? Your backyard is just jumpin' with excitement every single day and night.
Now, my balcony? It's just a-buzz with...pretty much...not much. Go, Bitsy, romp and stomp in that yard!!!
Yeah, we wonder 'bout all sorts of stuff...manners, movies, cupcakes...
Listen, Bitsy, if Moolie and Gaz are the greatest people you know...well...you are sweet, but you should really consider upgrading!!!
Thanks for the wonderful comments and you make your weekend absolutely, wild and crazy...jump in your Nana's lap and make her give you treats and stuff.
Tail Wags......

Hey Diva. NEWS BULLETIN! ! ! Mommy and Daddy went to Handley Feed Store and came home with Fow/Coyote Urine granules to sprinkle around the building. It sounds nasty but Mommy read this is what scares 'possums. It is canine safe, Daddy made sure of that first.
Here's hoping. Bitsy
P.S. I love the name of that gorgeous tree.
