Check with the local police. I bet they steal stuff while they're in your house.

I thought that, too. Or that they'd be scoping it out to see what they could come back for.
My dogs want to enthusiastically greet anyone who rings the doorbell, but they sound like murderous beasts, so it discourages a fair number of sales people and/or would be thieves. |

I was once visited by a door to door fish salesman.
He seemed legit, but when he went through his stock list, the minimum quantities were basically catering size packs. I wondered afterwards if he'd been let down by a local pub or restaurant and was reduced to hawking his wares before they began to smell. No jokes about being fishy please.

Problem: Dog nudges open garage door.
Solution: Make sure door is clicked shut. Problem: Dog learns to purposefully open garage door. Solution: Close laundry room door to keep him from garage door. Problem: Dog learns to open all doors with swift confidence and cannot be deterred from entering the garage or rooms with napping babies in them. Solution: ![]() We're switching out our lever-style door handles on the two problem doors for round ones this weekend. |

You should thank him--he's just preparing you for when Bean can do the same.
They do make "baby locks" for lever handles, by the way. But they suck. I've seen more than one kid defeat them in under 30 seconds. The knob covers for round knobs are pretty effective, though. At least for dogs. Extremely intrepid children may figure out how to rip them in half, but supergluing the halves together should prevent that. But when you really, really need the door to stay shut, this is the king of all door locks. Trust me. |

Today I am amused by some good troll work on Reddit.
The original question was "What's a secret you've sworn never to tell, but will gladly share anonymously on the internet?" The troll in question simply posted coordinates of a remote spot in the woods, leading others to wonder what was there... (The original post did not include the image with the cipher that reveals it's all BS.) |

"With this new route, their pickup time is going to be 7:15," the bus monitor says to me earnestly... at 7:30 this morning.
Sure it is, dear. Sure it is. As if their official pickup time has ever had any bearing on what time the bus shows up. 7:15 is actually when they had been showing up recently--but that was when their official time was something like 6:50. |

Eva has discovered her own reflection this morning and is now mesmerised every time she scoots past a reflective surface or mirror. She's never been so quiet. lol It's funny.

No, she means Sundae.
(PS I've never confessed on a Sunday - Saturdays are more common here)
