You girls are BAD. LOL.

Why do dogs bark at the USP and FedEx trucks? My three do it, as well.

Are you sure Lisa? I never have.

and I saw the comment about the tiara! I'm sure there is a way. I believe in treating myself like a goddess, even one that loves to bike. I just wish these glasses had rhinestones.

Because they are successful. Their aim is to scare off intruders...and lo and behold...they bark and the trucks leave. Same with the mailman...they have success everytime. So its self rewarding.

We will always repeat behaviors that contain rewards . Positive Reinforcement.

I keep telling him you have to spend money to save money but, alas, I am not so sure he's of the same mindset.

I'm sorry to be the fly in your punchbowl, teigyr but that saying is "you have to spend money to make money"
a small semantic difference.

One of my riding buddies has a nickname of Princess, so on the Washington Bicycle Ride a few years ago, we gave her a Tiara and wand, as a joke. We ziptied the tiara to her bike helmet and she wore it that way all week. Here is a pic. Was great fun and got lots of comments all week.

but...but...are you saying when I get that receipt that says "you saved $xxxx" that doesn't count?!

I know, I know. I'm comfy in my delusion though.
