Coke Zero #6 and last. Perhaps I should cut down a little.

I've had to cut back my tea intake, so I think it's only fair you should have to cut back your Coke Zero.

I'm finding that I need to stop drinking tea by about 3PM or I have trouble getting good sleep.

But meanwhile, just finishing up my last cup of Lion Mountain Keemun.

We cannot bring the baby outside and use treats and praise when he poops on the ground instead of inside the house. Not to mention that we won't even start until he is probably two years old as opposed to three or four months. (winks)

I do have a great book that someone gave me that is a series of potty training songs sung to classic tunes. I am sure that will go over well in a few years.

Hello Muddah, hello Fadduh,
Here I am at Camp Grenada
Camp is very entertaining
and they say we'll have some fun if it stops raining.

All the counselors hate the waiters
And the lake has alligators
And the head coach wants no sissies
So he reads to us from something called Ulysses.

I went hiking with Joe Spivy
He developed poison ivy
You remember Leonard Skinner
He got ptomaine poisoning last night after dinner.

Now I don't want this should scare ya
But my bunkmate has malaria
You remember Jeffrey Hardy
They're about to organize a searching party.

( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jjiWS__Mp0 )


Good morning, everyone! Sweet memories of summer camp....
Breakfast times joys today begin with a cup of Ceylon Uva tea, brewed double strength, and English Muffins. I wonder why English Muffins don't have a different name. After all, they didn't invent them, did they? Muffins have been around for centuries in other cultures.

Just remind him that folks get upset when they see a grown man swat a baby with a rolled up newspaper just for peeing on the rug. My wife used to go bananas when I'd do that...

Actually, joking aside, I think you will be surprised at how similar it is. Reward and punishment are excellent training methods.

Coke Zero #1. Let's see if I can keep to four or less today.

I'd heard that it's possible to toilet train a cat. I would post a video, but not while people are drinking.

We were thinking of trying that when Felicity was a kitten but we always close the lid on the toilet (better Feng Shui) which ruled that out.

Sort of like the French and 'pomme frites,' I guess. But what about corn muffins, blueberry muffins, bran muffins, meadow muffins, etc.?

I have a 'before dinner' cup of unbranded Keemun tea, and now it's time to go cook!

In the UK, "muffin" now almost exclusively refers to a large cupcake.

Personally, I'm very fond of a toasted crumpet with butter or even, if I'm "Up North", a pikelet (the wider, thinner variety of a crumpet).

Coke Zero #2 in my cup.

It is not hard to train a dog to go in the same place every time. So you could in theory have a sunk in toilet for them I guess.

Exactly. I would just refer to the type of muffin (you left out Chocolate Chip by the way!).

Paracetamol and Codeine fizzing in my glass...

True... I did miss those. But I did get the Meadow Muffin! That should count for something, right?
