   Oh, he heard you. But some questions are too stupid to deserve a reply. And Woof knows a stupid question when he hears one.

   I see nothing wrong with a person resting on the couch enjoying a snack on their day off or after a hard day at work. Kick off your shoes, put your feet up and relax and enjoy yourself. And he doesn’t need to shave either if it’s his day off. And he really didn’t make a very big mess, though it would be nice if he picked up after himself later – after he has a nap. But for now, let him be.

   We finished our voting in our pumpkin decorating contest at work. Last year, I got first place for my “bat cat”, but this year, I came in third with my blue-eyed bear. I wish we could post pictures here, but my Facebook friends will be able to see the pictures of all 4 entries. I’m okay with getting third place. I think the first 2 place winners had better pumpkins than I did anyway (though the winner actually decorated a couple butternut squash rather than a pumpkin). Anyway, I got a decent prize which was worth more than I spent on my entry. I spent $2 for the pumpkin and I decorated it with a piece of fake fur that had been sitting around my house for years. And the eyes and nose were made with buttons I already had around. So my total cost of decorating the pumpkin was just the $2 I paid for the pumpkin. I think everyone got the same prize (every entry got a prize). It was a Halloween trick-or-treat bucket filled with one scented candle (warm apple pie scent), a bottle of liquid hand soap (raspberry scent), and a handful or two of assorted candy. There was also a $10 gift card for Jersey’s Mike’s subs. That was quite a surprise. The only thing is, I don’t eat out and I’m not really into subs (too much extra stuff on them like onions – I HATE onions) and I never even heard of Jersey Mike’s. I’d sell the gift card in a heartbeat if someone offered to buy it from me. Anyway, the contest was fun and I’m glad I entered. I almost didn’t enter because at first, I couldn’t come up with an idea how to decorate my pumpkin.

   Today is:

   NATIONAL BOSTON CREAM PIE DAY

   NATIONAL HORROR MOVIE DAY. I’m not a fan of horror movies. I’ve never seen “The Texas Chainsaw Masacre” or the many “Halloween” movies or any other gory movies like those. I did watch one movie that was supposed to be scary. I watched “The Birds” and I laughed all the way through it.

   MEDICAL ASSISTANTS RECOGNITION DAY

   SWALLOWS DEPART FROM SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO DAY. I wonder if the swallows know this?

   IPOD DAY

   NATIONAL TV TALK SHOW HOST DAY. I don’t care for talk shows. Top of the list as the very worst one ever produced would be “The View”. I saw about 12 seconds of it once while flipping through channels and that was enough.

   NATIONAL MOLE DAY. We’ll eliminate any visions of a burrowing creature celebration immediately; National Mole Day recognizes a special number in chemistry. Chemists and chemistry students mark the occasion each year on October 23rd. More specifically, the celebrations take place between 6:02 AM and 6:02 PM. In the U.S., the time and date are written 6:02 10/23. The time and date are derived from Avogadro’s number. Avogadro’s number is approximately 6.02×10^23. Hence, defining the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in one mole of a substance, one of the seven base SI units. A mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express amounts of a chemical substance. Avogadro’s number is a historical term closely related to the Avogadro constant. The Avogadro constant is named after the early 19th-century Italian scientist Amedeo Avogadro.

   Well, ghosties and growlies can’t compete with Lily, so you’re as safe as you can be, Oliver!

   My dad hated the pizza commercials on TV. He always asked why they were always laughing while eating their pizza. He could never find anything funny (or amusing) about eating pizza.

    He bought you roses! It doesn’t matter if they came from the florist, the grocery store or the gas station. He didn’t have to buy flowers at all. Can’t you appreciate thefact he did?
