I was just telling DD that my nephew (he's 7) watches cooking shows and home improvement shows on PBS.  He loves them!  Victory Garden and This Old House are his favorites.  He cracks me up!

He loves watching stuff being made, he says.  It's really cute!  His sister is 6 and has no interest, but he's really into it.

I watch a lot of BBC America.  There are some really great shows on there that crack me up.  The series Changing Rooms is lots of fun, especially when the people love what their rooms look like.  There's a garden show called Ground Force where a team comes in and completely overhauls a backyard space in 2 days that's cool, too.

I live alone (except for 2 very bad dogs and a prissy cat), so I watch quite a bit :)

I have a german shepard and a cairn terrier.  They're both really sweet, actually, but they got mad at me today and behaved badly.

The cat is a rescue (I found her as a kitten, half starved and anemic because she had so many fleas).  The cat runs the house these days, needless to say.

*LOL* i know what you mean.  i have 1 dog and 2 senior citizen cats.  the cats really do run the house.  everybody works around them.  even the dog want to be their friend.  of course, they want nothing to do with her.
why were your dogs mad at you?

i kinda remember you looking for a name for your cat.  daisey is a cute name.

how dare you leave the house!  how could you do such a mean and thoughtless thing to your two sweet innocent angels?  no wonder they punnished you.
*is done with the sarcasm now.*

the older of my 2 cats likes to sit on my lap while i'm online.  she has learned that i sit still for long periods of time when i do this.  she gets lots of scratches and pets.  no fool is she.

*LOL* yes, but do they listen to such a command? sounds like a waste of breath to me.

HA!

actually, they're great dogs. and daisy is a wonderful little minx...altho i don't know if she'll ever forgive me for the fright i gave her when she thought i was gigi sitting at the computer....

Oh, God, that was funny.  Daisy wasn't comfy with strangers and DD was trying to give her plenty of space.  The cat jumped up onto the keyboard tray to get petted and DD said, "Hello" and Daisy froze.  Then she disappeared for a while.

We had a cat when I was a kid that came when my mom yelled "Fat Cat!"  He was an enormous siamese.

I think his real name was Puma, but we always called him Fat Cat.  He spent a lot of time looking for the best sunny spot to stretch out in.

speaking of funny names for cats, we once had a cat that had been shot in the right shoulder, and we had to have her front leg amputated.  (okay, so that part's not funny) but while she wore that stupid plastic coller to prevent her from bitting the stitches, we called her Radio Moscow.  and after the coller came off, we called her Tripod.  i cannot remember her real name at all. but she came to whatever name you called her, as long as you made the mmpptt sound first.
