I understand what Flying Lily is saying, and I completely agree with Silk. My sister is an amazing cook, but she serves the tiniest portions. I always eat something when I get home from having dinner at her house. (And she's significantly overweight, by the way, so something's happening when I'm not...

Why is it so hard to figure out to leave a message sometime when the office is closed? That would leave only the 24 hour a day jobs that would get screwed, but I'd be left with a touch more faith in the intelligence level of our society.

Re: Radio in the Barn
I had a radio in my barn. Most of the time, the horses were out while I was cleaning stalls, so there were no barn sounds. I listened to NPR. One time, I did call in to a talk show, and when I heard the show on it's repeat airing later that night, I heard one of my horses whinnying out in the field!
