Our cats gets very insulted if the bathroom door is locked. If it's closed, they shove it open like a cop doing a drug bust. Then, they're likely to stroll through the bathroom, maybe stop for a head-rubbing, and stroll back out again, tail held high. (They just want to know they CAN come in if they want to.) If the door is locked, God forbid, they bang a Gene Krupa solo on the door. (Why yes... yes, they DO have us well-trained.)Susan Flett Swiderskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425315552148200073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-4964784276530214822018-06-25T20:04:58.359-07:002018-06-25T20:04:58.359-07:00The boating life seems pretty darn interesting to ...The boating life seems pretty darn interesting to me, though I'm sure it gets routine, like everything else.<br /><br />The badge of honour part reminds me of kickboxing, where every bruise, cut, and stitch was a mark of courage that we bragged about.J.H.

You can lock the shower stalls and I do when I shower. <br /><br />I've not heard any strange or interesting conversations. I guess you have to go somewhere to do that.<br /><br />I'm supposed to get your book in the mail today.

Locking doors is generally a good idea when any kind of nudity is involved.<br /><br />I'd probably be the boater with mold envying the tennis court boater. I think maybe you should make a quiz "What kind of boater are you?" It would be crazy insightful. :)Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00415510811585368037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1717926498377706091.post-26074476135057518632018-06-25T04:38:22.294-07:002018-06-25T04:38:22.294-07:00I don't even work on a boat and yet I bet I co...I don't even work on a boat and yet I bet I could beat most people for total bruises.
