Ferret Friday #6- Ferret gets a drink

I was sitting in the den working on some posts and watching America's Got Talent when I heard what I thought was the sound of the 5 gallon jug being changed in the water cooler. Our camel is home from college, so this is not an unexpected occurrence. When the noise continued though, I decided I better check it out. What I found was a ferret pushing an empty bottle around with his nose. The hole seemed to be just the right size and the right height for his snout.

He was having a grand old time, so I let him continue as there didn't seem to be any harm in it. He played for quite some time. I guess ferrets are like kids in that they seem to find amusement in unusual places. How many parents have shopped for the perfect toy only to realize that the child is more entertained by the box than the toy?

CiteBlue

I have been enjoying participating in the MSU College of Law Social Media Contest . I have learned (and am still learning) a lot. Because of my activity, I have been able to connect with organizations and people that I would never have come across without social media. For this introvert, it has been like opening a whole new world. (I know, most people would never guess that I am an introvert; they probably just think that I am a snob. In social settings, I am a complete misfit, but put me in front of a classroom or conference room and I shine. It is strange, I know, but that is me. Perhaps we will dissect that in a different post). It has been interesting to see what posts attract followers. It has also been eye opening to figure out that followers also appear with an agenda--for example, some follow hoping to be followed in return to build their own group. This week, a company called CiteBlue "followed" me on Twitter. I wasn't familiar with the company, so I clicked o...

Queen of the Dairy

Did you know that the Dairy Queen Blizzard turned 25 last year? I remember when the Blizzard was introduced which makes me officially...old. Anyway, there was no Dairy Queen in the town where I grew up but there was one where my great grandfather lived. Do you remember when a trip longer than 15 minutes lasted fuh evah? When I was little, the 65 minute drive to my great grandfather's small town felt like an eternity. Maybe it felt so long because I was hoping for that extremely rare occurrence of a stop at the Dairy Queen. My parents were teachers and the budget was always tight, but occasionally we would stop at DQ and we could get a small cone. We never got to choose--it was always just that small vanilla cone, but it was a treat nonetheless. Once I was able to drive and had a job, those stops at DQ were almost mandatory when I ventured on my own to my grandparents house. I probably tried something different each time-...

Default doesn't mean Permanent

My unit has been around for a number of years, so rarely do we create a new alarm company account as a result of receiving an unsolicited registration form. These days, new alarm company accounts usually result from a citizen registering their alarm system and reporting an alarm company that is not in our database. Of course, we aren’t going to let that alarm company do business in our county without being registered, so we create an account for the company and place it in pending status until they return all of the required forms. Occasionally, I have been bothered by the fact that the status for a new alarm company account defaulted to "Registered" status and had to be manually changed to "Pending". It made more sense to me that the default status should be "Pending". Tonight, I had a few minutes to investigate for a solution. While using CryWolf®, I have found solutions to be available if I take the time to look for them. If you...
