Schadenfreude is both easier and more fun to say which is why i think English speakers chose to keep it instead of epicarycacy! I ran across it in a book a little while ago and saw a chance to try it out plus I was curious how many of y’all knew the rather obscure word :)
You can put it to playing different sounds. I’m rather fond of the “ocean waves” and “thunderstorm” tracks. There’s also “clothes dryer” “fan” (which is much louder than any fan I’ve ever heard!) White, pink and brown noise (which all sound like different versions of the static sound old TVs used to make) birds singing, crickets and various lullabies
Monty needs to get a white noise machine! Now that I live in the middle of town (after living amongst the farmers and fields my entire life) i have 1 going pretty much 24/7. It blocks out just about everything and really helps to keep my own dogs quiet since they had been barking inside the house at all the unfamiliar sounds we could hear coming from the neighbors
I sincerely hope you aren’t admitting to purposely murdering your neighbor’s pets! What a disgusting comment. And setting off fireworks is just stupid because not only will the whole neighborhood then be awake but every dog within miles will be barking!
Sorry but this isn’t even slightly funny to me, I can’t stand the a-hole people who do this! This 1 woman walks her dog down our street (despite not living in this subdivision) who always lets her dog go in everyone’s yard and she never picks it up! I actually saw her walk her dog across the front yard and let him lift his leg and go on the side of our house (it was a real pain trying to wash the stain off the stucco) and then she let him do the same to the neighbor’s inflatable Santa. I just don’t even know what’s wrong with people that they act so terrible anymore plus it’s not Roscoe’s fault, he didn’t “do something bad” it’s Earl who’s being a bad owner!
Odie doesn’t seem too bothered
